It's Debate Time!

[c9]

WHEREAS the Mayor of a city is ultimately responsible for the provision of services to the city paid for by taxpayer dollars;

AND WHEREAS the timely removal of snow for the proper functioning of streets, transit, and commercial enterprise is one of said city services;

AND WHEREAS removal of snow from Halifax after last Thursday's 95 cm (38 inch) snowfall has been slow, inconsistent, and disruptive

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Mayor of Halifax should be replaced.

Discuss.

(seriously, there's an opinion column in the Herald today suggesting this, though in a less-flowery way.)

Dear Halifax,

Sometimes Mother Nature makes you her bitch. Unless you're willing to fork over the tax dollars to protect the city with a weather-repellant fibreglass dome, learn to deal. I suppose we could have called in the army, but then what would we laugh at Toronto about?

And, stop with the car alarms. Holy fuck that is annoying.

Yours truly,

Mevin Mindred

Mevin Mindred is not taking care of snow removal fast enough. I vote he be removed and a new Mevin Mindred be put in his place.
