USA: Is that near Met-again?
Me: It's the same place, but it's pronounced Meh-tay-gan.
USA: You mean Met-again?
Me: No, Meh-tay-gan.

"Last week’s move by Municipal Affairs Minister John Lohr to designate the entire Halifax municipality as an interim planning area ... allowed the province to immediately bring in certain planning requirements and housing changes, but those changes were already in Halifax’s larger regional plan."
