Re: Hamilton???
How dare you speak of integration, you resident of the mean streets, you chooser of a neighbourhood where the rats have rickets and one is offered sex acts while picking through the grapes for one unnibbled by the homeless? How can you conceive of a future integrated enough to accomodate yourself, the hutch peddlar's victims, each the owner of a people mover, and the hermit, out in the wasteland with only the ghosts of equines for comfort on these brutal nights of September?

Re: Hamilton???
Actually, I wasn't being totally sarcastic. I was wheeling out some well worn phrases from the ol' country. You know, Tony Blair-isms which are even funnier when the people they are directed at loathe him, and each other. Still, we all have to work together for a combined future of prosperity and peace.
F*** them, I need things to be better now....for me. The bloody children can work things out for themselves. It wasn't like this in my day you know, they have it all handed to them on a plate.

Re: Hamilton???
As a Torontonian I would stay away from Hamilton, it's always been a hole, my Aussie hubby calls it a shithole, he used to work there! But I have a few friends that live there, but it wasn't a place I would live in.
We just moved from Milton, absolutely loved it there!
As others have pointed out Burlington is a nice area, I would live there with no hesitation. I used to work there. I would also look at Stoney Creek and Waterdown and Dundas.

If you or he worked in one of the steel production areas, I would agree.. however, to generalise Hamilton as a hole is to do it a disservice.
Comments like that from someone who has never lived in Hamilton are not particularly useful to the OP.

This probably doesn't happen somewhere like Hamilton. The homeless people in the burbs would have to walk for miles through the industrial estates to get to the nearest supermarket.
Edited to add: I jest, I've been to Hamilton. It's alright, wouldn't choose to live there though.

Re: Hamilton???
D'ya think?
Stuff on the floor is often the result of a domestic dispute. I once reached for a packet of havarti cheese only to have to take evasive action to avoid a cantelope being flung at some wronger-doer.
Then there's the queue jumpers. The best way to deal with one of those is to grab items from their trolley and fling them along the nearest aisle. Needless to say there will be much shouting and the family of 12 will then shuffle off to retrieve their goods in shame.
Really, it's worth going along just for the entertainment.
