Today I went to visit my grandma at the Woodland Cemetery and thought it would be a perfect opportunity to show Hamilton from across the Hamilton.
Downtown Hamilton and Bayfront Park

^ That's John C Munro grave site! That's me in the reflection
He’s a former MP for Hamilton East and was a cabinet minister under Pierre Trudeau government. He tried to run for Liberal leader but John Turner beat him. We have our airport named after him and our new federal office building is also named after him. When he resigned Sheila Copps replaced him.
One of my high school buddies was Munro's son, Richard, so I actually got to know Munro pretty good. I helped him out run for Mayor back in 2000 but he lost that election. One time he paid a ticket for me to go and see a Ti Cat game at Ivor Wynne stadium during the Labour Day Classic but I had to hand out election pamphlet for Munro lol.
I just think it's cool that Munro has a spot where he'll always be able to overlook Hamilton throughout its future.
Check out the cemetery
