CBC Hamilton spoke with Don Ross. Not my type of candidate based on his answers to a few questions.

From the article:
Here are Ross’s positions on some key Hamilton issues:

Aerotropolis — The aerotropolis, or Airport Employment Growth District plan, will see 555 hectares slated for development around the airport. Hamilton lacks industrial and employment lands, Ross said, and he is in favour of the aerotropolis. In fact, “it probably isn’t big enough,” he said.

Mid-Peninsula highway — Ross is in favour of a highway running from Toronto to Niagara. It would be “really beneficial” for the region, he said.

U.S. Steel — Last year, U.S. Steel announced it would permanently halt steel making in Hamilton. Ross said if he was mayor, he wouldn’t wait for U.S. Steel to come to him. “I’d be going down to visit the president of U.S. Steel and say ‘What are your plans for my city?’”

Two-way streets — Ross believes in examining two-way street conversion case by case so as not to “change the dynamics” of downtown Hamilton. That includes looking at how they impact travel time. He has concerns about the current bus-only lane running through a portion of King Street, he said.
