Tim Houston and Andy Fillmore are threatening to permanently dismantle Halifax's municipal government if they don't get their way in crushing a downtown bike lane. A transparent excuse to consolidate power, this is undemocratic and unacceptable: today's the day to tell them hands off!
NS ACORN's painted parade banner reading: NO Strong Mayor POWER GRAB! Contact your MLA, premier, councillor, mayor. Keep Halifax Democratic!

An unsubtly edited black-and-white photo of the 1948 Halifax Natal Day Parade. the street is lined with spectators holding clumsily photoshopped signs reading "Keep Halifax democratic: we voted for a council" "15% is not a mandate" "Hands off Halifax! NO to Strong Mayor Powers" and "Fillmore's power grab is a betrayal of our city". A sheepish Mayor Fillmore passes by in a decorated convertible. source: natalday.org

Hey Halifax! Natal Day is a great opportunity to show the mayor how you feel about the dismantling of our municipal government. Bring a sign to the parade!

We voted in a council. Say no to Fillmore's strong mayor power-grab; let's keep Halifax democratic! #halisky #bikehfx #HandsOffHalifax
