Taking this from my facebook posting which is also getting some interesting feedback:

I wish folks in Hamilton didn't say the following because of past events:

1. I don't want to see another Lister Block...
2. It's better than nothing
3. Hamilton doesn't deserve better

I come from poor stock. First generation CDN - my immigrant parents divorced when I was young - and I grew up in a single parent household. Was always taught to work hard for what I want and never give up. Always encouraged and most importantly I made it out of an east end neighbourhood where most kids I knew are still struggling to break cycles and move upwards. We need to show them Hamilton can be so much more than what they think it is.

We (as a city) truly haven't given our youth the chance to go beyond their surroundings. We need to do better...
