I know many on here are involved but I'm going to paint with a broad brush anyway...

Sitting back and whinging won't accomplish anything. Waiting for "them" whether it be: councilors, bureaucrats, etc... to do something usually brings the same results, NOTHING. Politicians of all stripes are underwhelming. What is news about that??? And simply complaining about them is not constructive.

I believe in Hamilton and chose to move here for a reason, it is on the cusp and needs active citizens to help push it over into a revival and I am in it for the long haul, moving is not in the plan (I should mention I do not work here however). But one thing is apparent to me, the outlook/mindset of many of its citizens are as much to blame for its problems as the politicians are... What was the voter turnout at the last municipal election?

If >50% of people can't be bothered to walk to their local school or church to cast a ballot and have their voices heard than who is really at fault?
