Oh, boy. Sam Merulla. I don't know what to say about you, cat. You mean well, but you sure need to do some research.

We're always talking about change in Hamilton - when that change will come and what it will look like -- and my favorite - its coming soon. Well, if there is any indication of change in Hamilton, this is it.

Let's try and see the positives of it. In the 80s, this would have been a devastating blow to most everyone because most everyone in Hamilton worked at Stelco or Dofasco. But that isn't the case anymore. Hamilton has a diverse landscape of employment opportunities now.

Sometimes for major changes to take place, a system must fail. The times ahead are going to be hard for some, harder for others. I believe when you get a second chance to change the root and causalities of a system we all benefit.

Changing minds about a system that "works for most" is a hard task indeed. Changing minds about a system that is failing or has failed is much easier.

Let us all listen to fresh ideas about economics in the coming months. Let us all remember how we got to this point, and how we can avoid it in the future.

Lastly, my sincere wishes for perseverance and stability go to those who lost their jobs. You are the martyr of change, but will surely help put the pieces back in the right places as you've seen the walls fall from the inside.
