🎃 A couple of the best family events of the year this weekend! The Gaetz Brook Greenway "Trick or Treat Trail Walk", and the Nine Mile River "Jack O' Lantern Walk". 🚦Both annual events are EXTREMELY well attended, so take the bus (Gaetz Brook), carpool, or arrive on foot if you can.

I just got off the phone with both Jennifer and Joan. They're rattled but otherwise OK. They'll have a full report as soon as they can write it up. Adding: I take this extremely seriously and unequivocally support our reporters. I'll be filing complaints with Houston and others.

Update: Both Joan Baxter and Jennifer Henderson were escorted out of the EverWind press conference by security. Both are older women who present no physical threat to anyone. Both behave as reporters do. But we (the Halifax Examiner) write critically about EverWind.
