I am not bashing Dawn Slaone, I am using my freedom of speech to point out that she is hurting the HRM. Everything that I have stated is a fact. I am discussing developments and the negative effect that councilors like Dawn Sloane can have on the city. Dawn Sloane would like to see Fenwick Towers torn down. She will be the biggest opposition to any re-development going forward. Wait and see.
I am 51 years old and have cared about the Halifax area since I first lived there 38 years ago. If you want to study what effect a good politician can have on a city then study Hazel McCallon the Mayor of Mississauga: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazel_McCallion . |
I don't know much about Hazel, as I have only ever seen her on the Rick Mercer report when he met with her last season. The 10mins or so feature was enough to convince me though. She is mayor of the only Canadian City without a deficit. She has done wonders for that city. I only wish we had a mayor with that kind of ambition here.
