There was a Hamilton Municipal Election 2018: Ward 3 Community Associations Debate (more a discussion) on October 9th.
I found Laura Farr followed by Nann the most qualified. Farr has spent 10 years working for councillors, knows the issues and City Hall, is well spoken and educated, so I decided to put her sign on my lawn. |

I'm really worried Ned Kuruc is going to get in. He's got a lot of signs. |

I've convinced everyone in my office that lives in Hamilton to vote for Fred so (including me) that's +6. Two of those are mountaineers in ward 6 and the new ward 12.

Oh I've got signs baby. |
Conley and Pearson come out in suppport of Sgro tn. Both against LRT. This election is getting interesting.

These career politicians without an ounce of vision really need to go. Another 15-20 years and they should be mostly gone and the next generation can get to work fixing this once-great city the geezers butchered for 75 years. |
Electing anyone to office who's opposed to LRT is just reckless. We need the LRT to improve our infrastructure.

It boggles my mind that a mayoral candidate cannot see the obvious positive impact from implementing an LRT system in Hamilton. We're literally stuck in the stone ages if this happens and it's just plain sickening to witness. We have a lot of other issues besides an LRT, but the LRT would just be such a huge step forward for infrastructure and for improving businesses/bringing in established businesses to Hamilton. Would be a shame, but I'm still remaining hopeful for the time being. |

That delay with the ATU and a certain councillor prevented us from getting a contract inked before the elxn. |
I don't think as many people actually will vote for Vito .... His signs are everywhere but I don't think it will add up .... I just can't imagine for the life of me why this is even an issue ....it's been decided now time to move on .... Why does Hamilton always have a fricken debate and decade long decision making and then end up with something sub-par ... ? Why do the citizens have so much input on everything? Some things should be decided by experts and professionals who know what they are doing and not citizens who are illiterate and scared of change

Mayor is just one of 16 votes, so this silly debate will continue on regardless of outcome. Council members that flipped should be held accountable for the wasted spend to date. Nothing has changed and good luck on getting any consensus on other infrastructure or transit priorities.

Although the Mayor is just one vote in council, the Mayor is chair of all committee (if he or she wishes to be so) and is typically the first person the Premier or any cabinet minister speaks to from Queen's Park.
We only need to look at Bob Bratina as Mayor, he did everything to push LRT aside and get the Premier and Minister of Transportation to focus on GO Transit. Anyways, I voted! I hope I'm not disappointed tonight. |

With 7 polls only Fred is ahead, 56% to 33% Sgro.
|
With 35 polls, it's basically the same. Fred is ahead.

Looks like Maureen Wilson will win as ward 1.
