This is me
and this is Larry Swinamer, owner of Hydrostone market, Halifax's European Shopping Experience
Larry must be thinking of 1914.
The European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 was adopted on 15 November 2010. Persons with disabilities have the right to participate fully and equally in society and economy. Denial of equal opportunities is a breach of human rights.
This is Larry's welcome sign to me. Watch yer step!

Here is how my taxes support Larry

- Water
- Snowplowing
- Bus Service
- etc.

Does this seem fair?
Meanwhile, please don't patronize this or any other place that shamefully discriminates against your fellow citizens. That means you, Hali-Deli.
