That an ex-con, enriched by a speculative activity that is both utterly useless & environmentally destructive, in cahoots with a despot who threatens our country, now tops the ranks of Canadian capitalism, proves we've gone right off the rails. Time to think big about change.

And drivers are speeding like mad. HRM could save lives and make a fortune with speed cameras, although I don’t know how that would work with no front licence plates. A truly stupid NS policy. (Also, many licence plates are obscured by dark plastic covers.)
