While I agree any higher education for the core would be good I still think we need to further discuss looking outside of the Hamilton City Limits for candidates. Hamilton needs more diversification within the city, not more of the same.
Think of the fanfare and exposure of a brand new (to Hamilton) university or college establishing a presence in downtown. WOW, that would get coverage in local media, in Toronto media and media in the city where the institution is headquartered. All good things.
And I think it would bring new ideas, vibrancy and new ways of doing things to downtown. If anything I think that should be Hamilton's goal.
