Which begs the question, why has Andrew Krystal not mentioned Darrell Dexter's name for 3 full listen show broadcasts?Krystal's dull blade may be associated with comments he made on his show last Wednesday. During that listen show, Krystal told his audience that he did not believe Dexter when the premier said an expense claim made for his wife's drive was a mistake. He went on to say the people of Nova Scotia don't believe him. Krystal promised...

A source close to the MacDonald family tells HL on the condition of anonymity that the former premier and professional fiddler was contacted by the PMO two weeks ago concerning a 'potential opening'. News - Canada Thu, 01 Apr 2010 02:31:50 +0100 http://www.halifaxlive.com/content/view/1125/32/ By Alex J. Walling Our provincial political leaders from Premier Darrell Dexter, who promised ‘a new kind of government’, to fairly new Liberal leader Stephen MacNeil and the interim PC leader Karen Casey simply don’t get it. In fact, their conduct and deportment over the last few weeks on the MLA’s expense scandal pathetically shows that they haven’t a clue how the so called average Nova Scotian feels. Even though the Chronicle Herald has received more letters on this topic than ever, that CBC News 5-5:30 and 6pm editions are getting 50-80 calls a show on this topic... Columnists - Alex J Walling Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:51:17 +0100 http://www.halifaxlive.com/content/view/1124/32/ I am certain Lewis Carroll didn’t have the members of Halifax Regional Municipal council in mind when he coined the word “jabberwocky.” After all, that was 1872, and Ron Wallace was mayor. Or so it seems. Anyway, anyone who missed Tuesday’s debate over banning bottled water from city hall, missed what could have been a classic edition of Laugh In. Such was the nonsense spoken by the majority of members debating the subject. Kudos to Deputy Mayor David Hendsbee, who chaired the meeting, for not grabbing a couple of councilors by the throat and shaking them into...

So why aren’t those responsible for slaying the beavers last week in Bayhead, Colchester County facing charges? Maybe not the ones who pulled the trigger, they were acting under orders. But certainly the twit(s) at the Department of Transportation who issued the edict should face the music. As their boss, Bill Estabrooks said, “Errors in judgment were made.” The Transportation Minister was refreshingly open and frank... Columnists - Al Hollingsworth Sat, 12 Sep 2009 07:15:04 +0100
