Michael Hardner Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 http://www.thecoast.ca/RealityBites/archives/2015/10/21/absolutely-nobody-wants-to-be-halifaxs-town-crier Nobody wants to be Halifax's town crier: Over the last seven-and-a-half months, Halifax has used the services of a town crier on exactly two occasions: August 3 for Natal Day festivities, and September 9 in Grand Parade to celebrate the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. A town crier was also used last December to mark the annual departure of Halifax’s Christmas tree to Boston, but that event is organized by the province. There is certainly some parallel to the fact that nobody reads newspapers anymore here, and perhaps a renewed raison d'etre for the CBC. If there's no money in telling people what is going on, who should pay for it ? Usually the government handles those kinds of jobs, right ?
