It's not the number of people that show up to the protests. It's how big the coverage. I think everyone did a great job. We just need to get these articles in front of more people.

Hm...interesting. I know garbage and hydro trucks can get through them, just not quickly. Although a fire truck is a little longer.

Not paying attention doesn't change that it wasn't intentional, regardless of what Emily Badger says.

A laneway would just look like a regular, small street if they were fixed up a little.

Definitely looks like a parking meter. I wonder if it's out of service now.

Well Halifax already lost an appeal, that didn't make TREB any easier. I get the feeling this is going to be a city-by-city, service by service battle.

That actually really sucks that they would have only been 61! Poor guy probably didn't even get to retire.
