Count me among the countless Nova Scotians happy to see the back of Eddie Cornwallis’s scraggy, statue-head as it was ignominiously carted off last week to some dank, secret storage depot somewhere, out of sight and — hopefully — out of mind. For at least a while. My satisfaction, I confess, had less to do...
IMPing along: under Halifax’s new transportation plan, what will change?
理事会开幕预算对运输和综合出行计划的亮点。
上周,哈利法克斯委员会会见了城市的员工to talk budgets, big picture style, in advance of nitty-gritty budget deliberations in the coming months. It’s worth recapping some of the highlights from the discussions for the city’s two big transportation departments — Transportation and Public Works (TPW) and Halifax Transit. (You can check out the...

我们可以相信Armoyans为公共利益行事吗？
不，那不是他们的工作。但这是议员的工作。他们上周渴望对Armoyan计划说“是25层高的塔楼”，以供一些经济适用房的贸易批准告诉您，比您想了解的议会监督更多。
Last week’s lopsided Halifax city council decision to decide not to decide — for now — how to respond to APL Property’s proposal to erect a taller-than-OK 25-storey tower at the corner of Quinpool Road and Robie Streets was interesting for all sorts of reasons. Before we wander into that thicket, however, a little history....
Examineradio, episode #143: ‘Tears and standup comedy’ for Willow Tree Tower
Maybe you’re for the latest version of the Willow Tree development; maybe you’re not. Well, a lot has happened regarding this proposal for the corner of Robie Street and Quinpool Road, so we brought in reporters Jayde Tynes and Jacob Boon to walk us through it. Check out Erica Butler’s piece from earlier this week for more […]
大多数人反对柳树高层
The public was heard last night on the proposed 20-storey (and still, somehow, possible 25-storey) tower at the northwest corner of the Willow Tree intersection in Halifax. Councillors spent about four hours hearing from the project developer and just over 40 people, with many more people filling up the gallery and an overflow viewing room...
2018应该是我们修复哈利法克斯的无障碍交通的年份
格里·邮政（Gerry Post）认为，哈利法克斯运输公司（Halifax Transit）应该开始收缩可访问的出租车，以接受Access-A-Bus服务。
UPDATE: (7:50am, January 12, 2018) This story has been edited to reflect improvements to bus stop accessibility, potential changes to tie down systems, and comments from Councillor Waye Mason. On one of the first cold days of this winter, I was leaving the Central Library at closing time, bundled up for a chilly walk home. A...

In November, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists began reporting on a trove of leaked documents it called the Paradise Papers: The Paradise Papers documents include nearly 7 million loan agreements, financial statements, emails, trust deeds and other paperwork from nearly 50 years at Appleby, a leading offshore law firm with offices in Bermuda and beyond.

运输数据是“我们的唤醒电话”
DalTRAC's Ahsan Habib on the census, and why Haligonians don't like to take surveys.
公民和纳税人
Why married women couldn't vote in Halifax municipal elections until 1963, and why the poll tax wasn't done away with until 1970.
I wrote a book about Canadian political history, and some booksellers are shelving it in the business section. Why? It’s about tax politics. That’s a problem, and not just for my marketing strategy. If business people are the only citizens who engage in an informed way with tax, then our tax politics and policy are […]
