HALIFAX, N.S. — Members of the Canadian military are in Nova Scotia, helping clear downed trees as power crews work to get electricity restored following Fiona. But some customers might have to wait until the weekend or beyond for their lights to come back on. Halifax Mayor Mike Savage says he understands people are frustrated, but other areas were hit much harder than HRM. He adds his thoughts on communication issues and the overall response by the municipality and the utilities. He also offers his thoughts on community land trusts, the escalating Mill Cove Ferry Project, Truth and Reconciliation and on his own last name in that context.
