Halifax has too much municipal dogma. That’s because people are too lazy to say Halifax Regional Municipality.

My 1st thought after viewing the new city logo – this is what we get for no longer teaching cursive writing in schools.

Why is this an issue? Are you alive? Can you breathe? Do you eat?
I’m so lazy I simply refer to HRM/Halifax as ‘Ha…’
