LOL
The politicians think ‘city wide free WiFi’ will show that Halifax is a ‘forward thinking city’…
To bad that:
1) Free WiFi is only in the rich parts of town, thereby available to those who least need it.
2) The entire nation of Estonia has free WiFi and this would have been “Forward thinking” if the year was still 2002.
3) Halifax looks like the shitty part of Boston circa the 1970s as shown in Good Will Hunting…
4) Our roads look and drive like roads in areas of the world that are currently engaged in civil wars.
5) A 500 million dollar ‘convention center’ should have been a 500 million dollar Aquaponic system, at least it would have done something productive then.
6) Fuck your gentrification and increasingly pushing the poor into smaller more industrialized areas; at least we know the Haves who are building right along side of us, have the exact same view, only for three quarters of a million dollars. —Stoner Retard Who Could Design A Better City In His Sleep

1) Free HiFi – What, you’re still actually paying for LPs. Hay Don Draper – the 60’s were a long time ago.
2)Estonia is also soon to join Ukraine as an unwilling province of the nascent Soviet Empire. Real forward looking, that is.
3) I’m more cheesed off by the multiplicity of hipster fucks who think they are Damon and Affleck. Beat ’em with the wrench. Why? – because fuck them, that’s why.
4) No arguing with that one. Point1 for Shaggy.
5)500 million dollar Aquaponic system? What, the little grow-op in your bedroom closet isn’t sufficient for your “personal use”? News Flash – Justin T. ain’t about to lift the sale tax on Doritos, so you’ll still need a “real job” Convention Centre will always be hiring janitors
6)Same view, but much quicker response time from the 5-0. Plus, the Haves actually will co-operate with the investigation. Now you’re fucked.
Back to sleep with you, Gilligan. Pass de dutchie and dream about a way to get off the island by building a 7-man ultralight out of coconuts.
OP, you must be walking and thinking backwards to think that this is a forward looking city.
Halifax DOES look like the shitty part of Boston on a good day and more like East Hastings Street in Vancouver on a typical day. And thanks for invoking the Convention Centre and Gentrification memes … it’s been too long since we all tired of hearing of this.
This city is too stuck in the 1950`s to be a forward thinking city. This is no longer a mom and pop town, but you keep wanting to run it like it is. No wonder we are the laughing stock of this country. Our city council has no vision, and are really lead by all the whinning, bellyaching babies out there.
Yours truly.
Touche all! You too OB-let’s spark one up and do some planning…
