Finally, hard lessons learned. Prescriptions for struggling older cities now never include one-way hwys & paving over public spaces. Instead, maximize the public realm for people. Intentional mixed income neighbourhoods. Design for people.

We can never, ever normalize an agenda of Islamic militant jihadi action. Like the steel that helped build Canada, Hamiltonians are strong and resilient. We know that strength comes from unity and that hate and the incitement of violence and chaos seek to weaken community.
