In what was supposed to be the last episode of the HFX Votes 2024 election podcast series The Coast's city hall reporter Matt Stickland sat down with The Coast’s newsletter editor Julie Lawrence to answer some listener questions. 

The conversation bounces around as the two try to answer as many questions as possible. There are a bunch of simple questions like “Does Halifax have enough parking?” that have relatively simple answers like “Yes.”  

But some questions sparked more interesting and nuanced conversations, like ‘Should Halifax reduce the size of its bureaucracy?’ and ‘What makes a suburb?’ There is also a definitely real award given out to the listener who asked the best question. 

But this will not be the last episode in the series, I heard back from the infrastructure expert I was trying to interview, and we’re in the process of setting up the interview. So stay tuned for that in your podcast feeds.
