Talk of council debating dumping even more sewage in Cootes Paradise after the #sewergate scandal made Hamilton sound downright regressive.īut it wasn’t until a chance meeting with McMaster students on Vancouver’s impressive Sky Train (the very project Hamilton turned down decades ago) that the true cost of our toxic political culture became apparent. News of new transit investments were great brag points, but images of a statue being torn down because of council’s inaction and a middle-of-the-night attempt to intimidate a councillor at her home didn’t help mitigate our brand as the Hate Capital of Canada. This prompted a lot of comments and questions about Hamilton and more than a few comparisons. We visited big cities, small towns and all manner of campgrounds.Įverywhere we went the kids insisted on wearing Hamilton shirts to show their hometown pride. In the first two weeks, we drove through the monumental Canadian Shield, the drought-plagued Prairies, explored the dinosaur capital of the world in the badlands, got lost in the Alberta Rocky Mountains and white-knuckled it through the B.C. We called the trip #HoserTrek to share the adventure on social media. 1 our family rented an RV and headed across Canada. 32.290758 -64.792449 4 Fairmont Hamilton Princess Hotel, 76 Pitts Bay Road, Pembroke, ☏ +1 44.Sometimes you need to get some distance from a situation to see it clearly.There are also a wide variety of B&B style accommodations and smaller guestroom hotels (with kitchenettes).
