Yes, but also a lot of city/provincial thinking around transportation is basically "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"
"Cars stuck in traffic? Just need to make it easier to drive" in a loop forever.
The end result is that we are broke and stuck in traffic.

unsurprising that the IOC bans a Ukrainian athlete paying tribute to his lost teammates when their "ban" on Russia for doping or for war is always just "you can still compete but with a neutral country title that everyone knows means Russia"

He wants a friendly amendment on Hendsbee’s motion - to undertake a jurisdictional scan to justify a rate increase because there are Canadian cities charging more.

I think this is a key point we need to keep repeating - our council is spending extraordinary amounts of time to constantly relitigate an expense that's less than 0.05% of the capital budget. That is not time well spent by any measure.
I hate the fact that stories about this ignore that bike lane spending is $65 million out of a $3bn capital budget of which we can only actually pay for $1.8bn of $3bn before we run out of money and debt. Cutting 0.021% of the capital budget is not fiscal responsibility, it's affordability suicide.
What’s HRM council without bike lanes?
