Halifax is a bit of a backwater redneck town that tries to be a progressive city but often fails. So it is extremely gratifying to see cool people that are using their brains and acting in positive ways. I see them often as I'm taking long walks through town. All you good Haligonians who are making strong moves and improving your communities—keep up the good work. And to all of those who are not there yet, you can get there. I know you can. —Hipster Dufuss
