Try to remember life is not just black and white the grey areas need the expertise of many to understand anything, especially the working of the human mind.
Is there a bit of lemonade to be made here? Well there are a few more public ashtrays and "water-cooler" socialising is on the increase around them. I'd like to see many more, if for no other reason than cleaner sidewalks. Enforcing fines for tossing butts would have had better impact than the fools game they attempted.
Halifax you suck! NSLB catering to the loud minority. Such wimps. Tell the complaintents to move to the country! Cities worth a damn do not sleep! Loved wandering the streets of Vancouver in the early 80's at 4am. Music hung in the air from blocks away and one could stumble into a jazz cafe, eat a sandwich and dig the music that lured me there. That is the sound of a city worth visiting and investing in. If you can't sleep get a sleep mask or move! Let Halifax be what it's meant to be, vibrant for all!
Great article but what do we do about it? Tell me how we fix it? I have been saying this for years and most nod and agree. Do we keep paying lip service to the obvious and say "hmfp tsk tsk"? Do we take to the streets and burn it all down and start over? Or is there a third option? I really want to hear some doable options we can all participate in to correct this. I honestly could give a @#&* if it is worse elsewhere or if you feel the damage done by this disgusting legacy is not your fault, the fact is it still exists and in needs to be fixed now!
