Three positives, seven massives. Hamilton’s Future? Massively Positive.

Hamilton does have a tendency to celebrate the starting blocks as the finish line without bothering to run the race. And, not to be unduly harsh, but there's a fair bit of that here — it's a fairly stock-standard list of bullets that you could get from pulping economic development talking points, straining out the data and skirting critical analysis. Subtract public investment from the summary and you're more or less left with condos, Jackson Square and the arts sector.

Bright and gung-ho but a little lopsided (and, if you pay any attention to municipal politics, fairly myopic).
