Survey Asks

Do you agree with Halifax's school board cutting 152 teachers?

  • Yes, the board needs to meet its shrinking budget.
  • Only if managers and bureaucracy get a similar cut.
  • I don't care, I support the private education system.
  • No, giving young citizens the best education is too important to cut.

Another award should be given to Three Sheet for a) reviving someone with CPR at Rich Aucoin's show (Vanessa) and b) getting stuck in an elevator with 30 people and instead of panicking, gigging it. Nice.

Thanks for covering this event and posting the results. I didn't see any coverage of it anywhere else in the local media, and it is a nice way to get introduced to some new names in the NS music scene. I have never listened to music by many of the winners, so this has prompted me to check out some of these "new-to-me" artists. Thanks Coast and Alison.
