Looking for something to do this weekend? Why not crack open a cold one or light a tightly rolled one, sit by a campfire, and think too much about rural property taxes.

Bit of a longer episode this week, but I think I figured out why Halifax's Bus Rapid Trainst plan seems so half-assed and poorly implemented. I this episode you'll learn that Halifax’s BRT is being so poorly implemented because the BRT plan itself is hot garbage. Listen anywhere you get your pods
