Re Fred
We know he supports LRT but perhaps, like so many others, he knows something we don't.
For me, the LRT fustercluck takes me back to my childhood. I always had plenty of toys: Matchbox cars, Star Wars figures, Lego, etc. But then this thing called Nintendo came along and the ante was raised considerably. I made noises about a potential purchase to gauge interest. None was forthcoming. Quite the opposite, really > My parents made it very clear that that shiny, grey box would not be appearing under the Christmas tree. I did not broach the subject again, nor did I whinge about it to my Nintendo-owning friends. It was done. Dead.
Lame analogy? Perhaps, but I believe that's what's going on here. The City has allowed the Province to waffle on the issue because they know it isn't happening. And hanging the Province out to dry would be bad politics for the City of Hamilton, not to mention those on Council looking to make a career out of politics. They're playing each other and the electorate until such time as the issue can be safely and officially removed from the table.
Hope I'm wrong.
