Newfoundland dude with a Halifax ‘tude
I lived in Victoria while Lisa Helps was mayor before I moved to Halifax in 2019. I biked to work every day, it saved me money and made me healthier. I was optimistic when moving here because of the “Active Transportation Plan”.

My bike has been collecting dust ever since.
The “one weird trick” was political will. Victoria had a progressive mayor, Lisa Helps, who ran with the ball and got it done quickly. And obviously Victorians really support the idea of addressing the climate emergency and investing in public health and affordability.

Halifax hot take - the mayor and all councilors should use public transit exclusively while they hold office.

NS Power is so consistently inconsistent in Halifax that the power outage map is one of my suggested links when I open Google Chrome

Boy I wish Jill would stop listening to Beyoncé’s Renaissance on repeat and start listening to some twangy rock with me…
