Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Economist Deny Sullivan on Halifax housing and transportation
Q: What does something need to happen with the CAP in order to help the housing situation?
There needs to be a reconsideration of the capped assessment program to alleviate the tax burden on young buyers, potentially maintaining their taxable assessments when they purchase homes.
Economist Deny Sullivan on Halifax housing and transportation
Q: What should I be asking them?
You should ask municipal officials about their specific plans to increase housing density near universities and hospitals, as well as how they are addressing the funding shortage for infrastructure.
HRM Councillor Laura White January 31, 2025
Q: Why would the staff put forward a plan without a bus lane?
The funding is very linked to moving goods, which is important for residents, but this plan didn't meet the council's discussions for needing bus lanes.
HRM Councillor Laura White January 31, 2025
Q: What was your vote on the Windsor Exchange and why?
I voted no because there is no dedicated bus lane in both directions and it is designed to hold more traffic flow, which goes against our goal of becoming less car-dependent.
Virginia Hinch- District 8 Councillor for HRM
Q: Can you tell us about your personal connection to Africville?
My family lived in Africville, and I was displaced from there, which has deeply influenced my understanding and advocacy for the area.
