After more than a decade of operating in an amalgamated city managing the needs of more than 500,000 residents, you’d think that Hamilton council and staff would have made some headway on streamlining and improving services.

The novelty usually wears off after a few weeks or sometimes months, and Mom and Dad become the full-time feeders and the walkers and the poop scoopers for the next 10-15 years.
