Historically the Bedford Highway was part of the route from Halifax to Windsor, but also formed the first stage of a journey to Truro, with Sackville's Twelve Mile House staging inn marking the start of the Truro road.[2] The never-completed Annapolis Road also began on the Bedford Highway, at today's intersection with Kearney Lake Road, which is believed to partly follow the alignment of the early road.[3]

gollark: But you can't just say "hey, backdoored person, you need to do `pip install --user websockets` for this to work".
gollark: Maybe? But you need to install a websocket library, whereas Python ships with urllib3 and most systems have libcurl.
gollark: It is, though, inasmuch as websocket libraries are rarer and often need async IO.
gollark: Right now it's 14 lines of Python, down from about 100 for the last version.
gollark: If I add a "plaintext mode" (it's JSON now) then you *could* actually backdoor a system with a tiny shellscript! Great, right?
