"The challenge lies in balancing efficiency with other vital democratic values such as localism, responsiveness, transparency, and adaptability".
This statement is about what is not happening out here on the Eastern Shore- we need to challenge the HRM council-which has only 1 representative on it for the ES- and fight for our political and community autonomy.
Having lived here for 28 yrs I was here for the amalgamation- I voted No having lived through a previous one. To lose community autonomy means we live under the umbrella of a larger community-big vs little- the result is often not to our advantage.
We need to take back our autonomy, build our community from the inside out note the outside in.
In my experience it has not served Musquodoboit Harbour and the Eastern Shore well.

Agreed. Having a councilor is not the same as having a government.
