Sorry to be downcast, but all of this concern at this point strikes me as far too little far too late. MPP's should have been contacted in 2009, not now. Movement towards the decisions made by Hamilton's Trustees has been clearly visible for years and, though there was some protest, nothing nearing the force required to take on the process and achieve success ever congealed. In Peterborough, an incredibly well organized group of parents, students, alumni and urban advocates fought against the closing of their downtown high school --- even gaining a visit by Rick Mercer to back the cause on RMR --- and lost. Here, the usual suspects said the usual things and the usual occurred.
What I think this really shows is the need to broaden bases and impart to folks the need to be aware of what is going on, and the potential implications, when something can be done. This horse has, sadly, left the barn.
