Hey I have a few things to say about this again. First off its 2000 people out of 500,000 in the city. you do the math over all thats not a massive amount of people its a lot yes but percentage wise not really. Look at windsor far less people 1700 layoffs I personally think thats a little more serious.

Go leafs go
I can't give you much credit for you statement due to the fact you a leafs fan. sorry Although we have more in common with Pittsburgh then you might thinks. Yes there was steel also the fact that they have some beautiful landscape in there city. Also like Hamilton they have a very significant Health sector 26,000 people work in Health care in Pittsburgh. They also have a thriving university that has massive inplications in the city. Any of that sound firmilyar? I would must rather like to be know as the Heath care city then and armpit of the province.

in all seriousness though why reclaim that land why not reclaim the harbour in the sense that most of that land was made per say why not just remove it and allow the harbour to be expanded. Maybe not all of it but some of it. I don't know how differant this would be as far a cost but just a though.

As much as I like the thoughts become a non steel town I don't think anyone on our city council or likely future ones would have the vision to see anything significant happen. You can already see it through the Mayors statements in the papers. I don't know but I don't think its going to happen which frustrates me.

How you never know though.
