🎧BUDGET SEASON IS BACK part 1(🔒) Show notes on Monday, this has obviously been recorded before Friday’s budget meeting.

Part one of Monday's episode is out for subscribers.

Yeah im an “amateur local cartographer” (couldn’t make it to Eisner Cove Wetland before part two of this piece)

An earlier version of the Board of Police Commissioners story incorrectly said that the Board’s motions still need to be approved by the council. They do not. We regret the error. Police reform in Halifax is officially underway.

New paper will be out tomorrow.

@acbzw.bsky.social on the front with an Eisnor Wetland update.

On the back @landofsticks.bsky.social writes about active transit and area rates in Hubbards and Halifax's ongoing successes at police reform.

🎧Police reform good, road safety bad(🔒) As always show notes on Monday.
