Coun. Sam Austin expressed concerns with that meeting, saying while he thought the intentions were "good," he asked if the invitation was the "epitome of a backroom meeting?"

I have an immense amount of respect for Halifax's independent reporters.
They're the ones who pick up the stories that bigger news corps end up running off with, often with a human-centred angle that holds the power to account.
Support local, independent journalism whenever you can.
