Amalgamate Toronto, GTA West and Hamilton

[realcity]

I'm beginning to think the only way for Hamilton to get out of its 30 year rut is to join into one Megalopolis, with Toronto, Peel, Halton and Hamilton

For those that think we'll loose our identity. I don't believe that would happen. Look at local smaller amalgamations. Ancaster, Dundas are still referred to by name, even Westdale.

Economically we'll be better integrated with the wealth of the GTA. Social Services costs could be pooled. Transit can be seamless. One school board with but retain individual trustees. One mayor with many councilors. Our mayor now is only worth one vote anyway, same power as any councilor. We could have one master plan, like the Greenbelt and Places to Grow Act does now.
