I think that so many actively concerned people...including respected thinkers such as Herman Turkstra, whose nice recent Spec piece paraded out Yesteryear Downtown Hamilton...need to, once-and-for-all, be given the opportunity to really, genuinely understand the past hundred years. Because what I tend to see, read or hear on the subject is reactionary, revisionary, lacking authentic perspective and context, and, though it might not be overtly offered, damning of not only the practices, but the Hamiltonians who were responsible for so much that's railed against.

Most especially, a thorough examination as to the various Councils' decisions over the past three decades and the reasons behind them is due, if only to ground the dialogue a little more in mature reality than in painting with a consistently broad brush.

Otherwise, all we end up with is an endless parade of earnest jingoism which, sadly, only tends to accentuate polarization in Hamilton.

Just sayin'...
