There were two anti-LRT (Liberal!) candidates Ivan Luksic (Hamilton East-Stoney Creek) and Javid Mirza (Hamilton Mountain) in the provincial election, both lost.

All the incumbent Council candidates supported LRT, as did the incumbent Provincial candidates. The most popular position was "yes to LRT with full provincial funding" which seemed like a lot to ask for, but turned out to be exactly what we got. In fact, that was Clark's position as a councillor as well:

" Clr. Brad Clark seeks to convince council to confirm full funding from the province for the capital costs of the two long planned LRT lines. But not everyone is happy and some of his peers warn that they are asking a question at the wrong time. But most councilors support the need for clarification."

Mayoral candidate Brad Clark only came out as anti-LRT in September 2014, but then rapidly made it his most important issue.
