Halifax council candidate questionnaires: District 11 — Spryfield-Sambro Loop-Prospect Road

September 29, 2020ByZane Woodford3 Comments

Halifax’s longest-serving councillor gave plenty of notice that he wouldn’t be running for a ninth term. Coun. Stephen Adams, first elected in 1991, made the announcement a full year before this fall’s election, and 12 candidates have stepped up to take his place in District 11. The Halifax Examiner posed the same five questions to […]

Halifax council candidate questionnaires: District 10 — Halifax-Bedford Basin West

September 29, 2020ByZane Woodford1 Comment

With Coun. Russell Walker stepping aside after 27 years, the race for District 10 has attracted eight candidates. Walker only scraped by in 2016, winning the district — including Fairview, Rockingham and part of Clayton Park — with 35 votes.

September 28, 2020ByZane Woodford3 Comments

September 25, 2020ByZane WoodfordLeave a Comment

Tony Mancini first won his seat in a byelection in 2016 after the former councillor became the area’s member of parliament. Mancini had to defend that seat just a few months later in a general election, and beat the only other candidate, Carlos Beals, now his colleague on the board of police commissioners. This time […]

Halifax council candidate questionnaires: District 5 — Dartmouth Centre

September 24, 2020ByZane Woodford7 Comments

Downtown Dartmouth politics in the post-McCluskey era are becoming increasingly less competitive. In 2012, Sam Austin lost the downtown Dartmouth district to long-time councillor and former mayor Gloria McCluskey in a field of seven candidates. In 2016, after McCluskey retired, he won in a field of eight candidates. This time around, it’s just Austin and […]

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.
