The sage of overnight parking
I saw a certain counselor’s “interview” on CBC the other night. Stuff as many ‘Best of’ ballot boxes as you want, make-believe counselor – we should not paying you $50k/yr to find out that the best answer you can come up with is “screw ’em”.One other t

There’s a similar bitch so thought I’d re-post…Being the only city in North America to have a steady and total winter parking ban in place and an enforcer looking to ticket and tow your car on a snow-free day (day 1 of the ban – no snow, lots of tickets) who ASKS NOBODY and ANSWERS TO NOBODY says an awful lot about this DRACONIAN town! I wanna get a look at the guy in charge. I’ll bet he was born with the required driving mentality for his job in 19-fucking-50.This must be the same person who thought NOT to time the downtown traffic signals to ensure a no-stop pass through the downtown area while driving at the posted 50 km/hr (if you’re scratching your head consider yourself painfully Haligonian)This is right up there with the ‘brilliance’ employed in the “solution” to the “problem” with Cobequid Pass. Imagine what would happen in Central BC if the solution to the problems in having to steadily remove snow from well traveled highways with two or more fair-steep and long hills on them was to simply invest in a couple of signs and close the fucker… OMG!!!! Entirely unacceptable! FYI The snow plow and the city and the region knew the storm was coming well in advance yet nobody saw a snowplow until at least a foot of snow covered the highway and then there were only a couple of plows working and not together… and WE PAY these people with our tax dollars to hold the position of management that would see our highways open, not closed!Halifax is NOT exceptional in North America when it comes to snow on highways yet has the most driver / tax-payer unfriendly policy in the whole of the land. What is wrong with you people? Fuck you HRM. GROW UP!
