Same, lots of relatives in Hamilton and NONE of them wanted it! Even though they weren't paying for it! Facebook posts praising Ford to cancelling it -- from those that voted NDP (as all of them do).
To be fair, 90% of the people that comment on The Record and CTV Kitchener were also saying "wish Ford could have done that here" or "yay for Hamilton, learn from the KW disaster" . The Facebook posts demographic isn't exactly transit supportive, yet the success of pro-LRT candidates in local elections shows they're not the majority.
Amusingly enough they seem incapable of realizing they're a minority. Convinced either that the next election will somehow be different, or that pro-LRT candidates only win by rigging the election.
