Well first the politicians would have to stop doing things like bringing in gas price regulation to "save the country gas station" (doesn't work as they have to pay more to get the gas which is the problem...one look at PEI price regulation could have told them that), putting leashes on cats (the many months the city council has been on about this is ridiculous), turning down the construction of office buildings that would have companies moving head offices to Halifax because it MAY obstruct ONE view line from the citadel to the harbour, redoing intersections to make what amounts to a 50 m suicide lane and simply pushing traffic jams down the road 200 m, pursuing a money losing high speed Bedford idea to save Bedford residents who don't want it a whole 10 minutes on a commute, not be willing to try lane control because and I quote "it's be proven NOT to work in most cities", doing study after study on redoing a refurb on the Metro Centre or maybe building a replacement (its been going on for about a decade or something without a decision)....
To put it simply the politicians here seem to be even more useless than most places. They very rarely do something actually useful to the general population like run gas lines or water lines or sewer lines or approve projects that bring jobs into the area.
