Here's my message to MAGA ambassador Pete Hoekstra.

He says we are mean and nasty and doesn't like us saying Elbows Up.
Too bad Pete. We are proud anti-fascists

While walking towards the intersection of Jubilee/Vernon (a 4 way stop) I observed 3 cars cruise thru the stop signs with nary even a blink on the brake lights.

Traffic in Halifax is going to get worse every year regardless of bike lanes because we’re adding thousands of new cars to the roads every year. I’m surprised though, all the old white guys in charge always told me that growth would solve the problems caused by growth. They swore it was true. lol.
