PLEASE TAKE 5 MINUTES! Help to make HAMILTON a place where the peoples voice is heard! Voting is now open and will continue until 5pm on Friday, October 24th. To vote, please visit peoplesplatform.ca Vote now on The People’s Platform and get the election focused on issues that matter to you: *Should Hamilton build a gas plant to turn its garbage into fuel? *Do workers deserve a ‘living wage’ or ‘guaranteed annual income’, or is minimum wage enough? *Should Hamilton build more affordable housing? *Would you like to have the ‘right of recall’ to remove the mayor, councillor, or trustees from office between elections? *Should Hamilton build light rail transit (LRT), expand its bus system, both, or neither? On October 1st, the Hamilton Civic League and its community partners created 47 proposals based on input that was collected from residents at public meetings held on July 15th, August 9th, and September 21st. On October 25th, we will announce which proposals have widespread public support, and we will report on which candidates support those proposals. This information will give you a sense of which candidates are committed to implementing a peoples’ vision for the future of Hamilton. This is the beginning of a movement to make our political system live up to our expectations for democracy. More urgently, it is also a time to show our support for residents of the city who face harsh realities on a daily basis (e.g. lack of affordable housing and poverty wages). A high level of voter participation in The People’s Platform will send the new council and school boards a clear message: that taking action on the issues that matter to us - the people - is important. Please vote, and please encourage your friends and family to make their voices heard, too. We can make our Hamilton better, together.
