it’s like tolkien where the hobbits are battling cars. here the battle is against the 108 ATV club who want to allow ATVs on the green belt, we don’t have a podcast though and i only kind of know how green belt governance works through the CRD

For the love of god … we get that you are a bike enthusiast, and that appropriately designed bike lanes are beneficial in any number of ways.

Apple Podcasts3CrannogmanCanadaa year ago - Great podcast.
Please Matt I’m begging you to raise the volume level of this podcast. It’s near impossible to hear over the sound of the ferry engine.
Apple Podcasts5cbeau166Canadaa year ago - A personal, professional take on municipal government
Matt Stickland reports on the goings on of Halifax Regional Council, not because it’s exciting, despite Matt’s best efforts to make it so, but because he really cares about how people use the power that has been entrusted to them.
