Jason,

An excellent summary of Hamilton's potential for resilience in the face of hard times and challenges. Our City's culture of determination has been forged by generations of hard working families seeking to leave the next generation in a better position than the last. I can remember participating the OPSEU rally Hamilton hosted to protest the Harris cuts to education back in the 90's as a teenager and seeing the power of massive action.

Thank you for reminding us that this ongoing notion of Hamilton's collective apathy is almost hypnotic in it intent, leaving the individual to feel that "if no one is doing anything than how can I possibly do something by myself '? It is not as though the individual does not care, I believe it to be more about most individuals feeling powerless against the inaction of the whole.
