What now?


Why does this blog exist?

I'm sick of the anti-progress crowd wrapping themselves in a blanket of tradition and so-called tax-payer responsibility.

I'm sick of a mayor with no vision or plan for the future of this city.

Halifax has a choice: remain wrapped in quaintness, or become a dynamic city of the 21st century.

Do we want our city to become a "what it was" or "a what it could be"?

Some of the most creative and forward thinking people in the world live here.

But not for long, not if we don't change.


 

A House Divided Against Itself....

Yikes!

Someone forwarded me an email from a Council Member to Mayor Windsock...


Emperor Kelly:

I request an audience with you, your Highness to VENT... you must realize that due process was circumvented. Council as a whole was held in contempt. A total disregard to our integrity as elected officials. I feel I was just " School-Boarded". Yesterday's logistics for a press conference, news release and speech in hand was 'all in the can', ready to go.

We even had four NS Cabinet ministers in City Hall while we debated. (Barry Barnet, Murray Scott, Len Goucher & Chris D'Entremont ) They all should have been invited in the hear our rationale and concerns. You
sir, screened and isolated them from us intentionally. Out of respect even you should have invited them in. And all of this could have happened even before the premature press release occurred.

I avoided all media calls today. BUT I believe that you need to apology to us all. AND do not give me the line of respecting taxpayers because we all do ! Sir, with all due respect you too have a responsibility to us as a Council. Don't play us like a numbers game ...

You claim to have just one vote, but at times it seems more like a veto.

I remain.... frustrated and disgusted > Respectfully >

I think we are starting to see the Balkanization of the Council.

Mayor's Supporters to the right.

Dissenters to the left
.

I can't wait for the next meeting...
