Well, to be fair I don't think left - right labels are very accurate anyway but no I wasn't directly talking about those nuts. Just as a whole I have found that the left, for lack of a better term, in Halifax has become not really even about left principles but about a handful of socially stagnated ideals such as anti-development and basically a podium to rant against "the rich old boys" whoever they are exactly without providing anything as a real alternative.

Maybe I've been reading the Coast too much instead of wrapping fish in it as would seem to have been more appropriate over the last few years
