Examineradio - The Halifax Examiner Podcast

Last week saw a featuring Halifax police chief Jean-Michel Blais. The forum, held at the North Branch library, was meant to address recently-released data that showed that Black Haligonians are subject to street checks at three times the rate of whites. While the intention of the meeting was ostensibly to mend fences, it went quickly off the rails - to put it mildly. Former poet laureate and Halifax Examiner columnist El Jones was at the meeting and will join us in a bit to discuss what went down. Plus, the Cornwallis Baptist church will soon become the , city council pushed 's proposed 20-storey apartment building (aka. 'the student craphole of the future') to a public hearing, and city staff recommending public consultation on campaign finance reform.
