Why This Cool Kid Moved to Hamilton

I must admit, the recent shenanigans of the brothers Ford have made me somewhat grateful that I no longer call Toronto home. Don't get me wrong, Toronto is a lovely city, but how lovely it will be after four years of the Ford family rule remains to be seen. Regardless, nothing good can come of Rob and Doug's lack of appreciation of the arts and how much it adds to a city's vibrancy and cultural fabric, above and beyond the all important bottom line.

I got a chuckle out of the news that Hamilton Mayor Bob Bratina had invited Canadian literary icon, Margaret Atwood, to pay his city a visit, (essentially dismissing the Fords as a couple of backwater rubes in the process), and acknowledging Ms. Atwood's stature as one of our country's most storied authors. This, of course, was after Councillor Doug Ford commented that he wouldn't have a clue who Ms. Atwood was if she walked by him on the street. Something makes me think Doug Ford would be more likely to recognize Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys, but who am I to judge?

Hamilton, for those of you who don't know, is the reason I am now an ex-Torontonian. My family and I relocated to the former Steeltown back in 2009, and I have to say, it's the best move we've made. I adore my new city, although, the initial reaction of friends and family, upon learning of our new destination, was generally one of shock and horror. "Hamilton!??!" they would exclaim. "Why???"
