BioIt is an exciting time to live in Hamilton; we have one of the fastest growing economies in Canada with a diverse mix of educational, institutional, healthcare, light and heavy industry and small business.

While there are many success stories throughout our city, Hamilton still struggles with profound issues of poverty, income equality and a fundamental property tax mis-distribution that puts an unsustainable burden onto residential tax payers.

The question before us is: How do we want to live?

Do we want a modern city that is vibrant, inclusive, safe and green, or are we satisfied with how things are?

John-Paul Danko Ward 8 Hamilton City Council 2018 Election, Terry Whitehead, Christopher Climie, Anthony Simpson, Whitehead, Climie, Simpson

I am running for Ward 8 Councilor because I believe that we need to embrace change, and follow through on our long-term planning.

I come from outside of Hamilton’s political circles and hope to bring a fresh new perspective on what is great about our City and where we can improve from here.

I am running because we need at Ward 8 Councillor who is ready to stop talking and start doing!
