ATVers are destroying the Shearwater Flyer Trail

by Tim Bousquet February 13, 2023February 13, 2023

This, I fear, will be the fate of the Shearwater Flyer Trail: ATVers will have a few more years of solid yahooing, but they’ll so muck up the place that soon enough even they won’t want to use it. Eventually, what’s left of the trail and the adjoining wetlands will be subsumed into a never ending sprawl of new suburban development from Woodside to Cow Bay.

The casual ableism of cooking snobbery

A smiling man with a dark short beard, dark framed glasses, wearing a green shirt by Philip Moscovitch June 28, 2022January 30, 2023
A double photo: a book titled A Century Ago, Halifax 1871, which has a black paper cover with aged white lettering and an illustration of a lamppost with a gold lamp. Beside it is a photo of Granville Street east. There is a wagon on the street, and a couple of ghost like people who were moving too quickly for the camera.
