I'm Co-Chair of Halifax Cycling Coalition, working hard to make cycling in Halifax safer, more convenient and more joyful. In this role, I focus first and foremost on the 60% of the population who would cycle more if it felt safe.https://bsky.app/profile/davidwtrueman.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/davidwtrueman.bsky.social/post/3mzdopfa7h22oI don’t usually do this sort of thing, but I am going to make a personal appeal to consider a Halifax Examiner subscription if you can afford to. They are an invaluable source of insightful, critical and investigative journalism. www.halifaxexaminer.ca https://www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file/the-halifax-examiner-needs-your-financial-support/02 Nov 2026 15:54 +0000at://did:plc:lcphf3zyucleozttticumi3d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mzdopfa7h22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/davidwtrueman.bsky.social/post/3mzdesvgeh22eReminder: it’s coming up this Saturday - always a great time! This week, HCC board members are out at busy cycling locations at dawn/dusk, spotting people without lights, giving them free quality lights. All part of this celebration of cycling! PS we need marshals — DM me if you can help.

This is the only media coverage that does t just accept Fillmore’s erroneous claims at face value. You just have to listen to staff and other councillors to realize that.
