Great piece! It's so important to get the facts out right now so people can understand the stakes and council can make the right decision. Everything we do helps, letters to the editor, talking to neighours, going to public meetings, all of it! We really need to show that this is something Hamiltonians care about, that we're not going to have a "rebellion' if we trade a driving lane for a modern streetcar.
LRT, here we come!!!

Fantastic article, Ryan. I read it this morning in the Spec while I had breakfast.
Congrats, by the way, on getting so many op-eds published in the Spec lately - it feels like hardly a week goes by without another well-researched, well-reasoned piece from you landing in the Opinion pages.
The facts are out there and they support the case for LRT. Thanks for getting them out to the public.

Kudos to the spec, as well, for all the coverage they're giving this. It would be so easy to just ignore it until it dies. Maybe there's a change upon the air...?

Great piece! Really enjoyed it. And I hope we do get LRT.

Ryan, your editorial was brilliant! Tons of examples, logically argued, beautifully written. Way to go. I can't wait to ride on Hamilton's LRT!
