For what it's worth... I encourage anyone living in Halifax to do the same. You can find the name/contact information of your councilor here:

Hello,

I am writing to express my extreme displeasure with the looming transit
strike on Monday. As a result of this, my partner is due for a one hour
walk to and from her work at Bayer's Road next week, which (needless to
say) is absolutely ridiculous. At the very least, I would expect the
Halifax Regional Municipality to have a similar policy as Montreal,
which insists that transit will continue operating during core hours
(6-9am, 3:30-6:30pm, and 11pm-1am) during a labour disruption such as
this.

I realize there are two sides to this issue, but at the same time you
are the only two people (as the mayor of this city and my councillor)
who I can hold accountable for the continued operation of this essential
service. Rest assured that I will be watching the news on this issue very
closely and your (in)action will affect my vote at the next election.

Sincerely,

William Lachance
