#Halifax would rank on this list at #10 ahead of Boston with ~63

We are the Nova Scotia Museum. What began as one museum of science and history in 1868 is today, a family of 28 sites & over one million artifacts & specimens, across Nova Scotia. We have seven sites that are open year-round.

ICE shot and killed someone in south Minneapolis

This is a major loss for the game development industry in Nova Scotia and another hostile act against workers by large corporations Ubisoft Halifax was probably the largest studio in the province, and now 71 people are out of work. Perhaps some smaller independent studios can emerge from this

Tim Houston is now running "illegal cannabis" awareness ads to follow up his embarrassing crackdown from a few weeks ago. Noticeably no mention of fentanyl, after the RCMP didn't back up his claim b/c there was no proof. Why are we spending our tax $ on this drivel?

The Trump administration is actively censoring what is shown by the media. It won't stop here; they will continue to sanitize their heinous crimes and cosplay as a competent government behind a facade of smug contempt for the public. They think they can get away with this.

The powers out in the North End already, and I can hear a multitude of sirens racing by outside 🤔

Get home safely this holiday season. NSLC has partnered with Coors Light to offer free rides with Halifax Transit, including bus, Access-A-Bus and ferry rides every Saturday in December starting at 6 pm until end of service. Plan ahead for a safe ride home: mynslc.cc/Safe-Rides-2...

It's simple politics. Say 6 different contradictory things. People will only hear the one they agree with and think that the politician is going to do what they want them to do. Politician of course does nothing, but brags about solving issue. People believe the issue is solved the way they wanted

Halifax is the #3 most beautiful city in Canada according to Make That Change; a pair of Canadian travel, career advice, and entrepreneurs with ~100k subscribers

Right wing governments across the world are copying the playbook that Putin and Trump have demonstrated to be demonstrably effective and incredibly difficult to fight By the time you've looked into a handful of the daily rhetoric, there are a dozen new things the world has moved onto

I think this whole "flood the zone" with propaganda to make people angry and distracted is continuing to work.

How embarrassing for the premier to have the rcmp be like “no. You are a liar”

Since taking office, Houston’s government has spent roughly $2.5 billion on highways. In 2026-2027 they plan to spend another $465 million. I wonder why we have such a high deficit guys? Any ideas? news.novascotia.ca/en/2025/12/1...

More people should provide updates on the winter condition of major bike routes on their commute like this. I’ve always thought this was a cool community service.

Service update (Dec. 14, 4 p.m.) Crews are clearing and salting surfaces. Most main roads are clear and passable. Prepare for winter driving conditions and allow extra time to arrive at your destination. Travel safely. Details: halifax.ca/snow.

That's it, the US political institutions have fallen. This is an official White House press release, announcing their fascist overthrow of the country They are creating an indeterminable "other" that they can use to arrest and detain whoever they want. There is no centralized Antifa organization...

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

Colour burst along the Sackville River, Nova Scotia.

I swear to God bike people, you do you and I support building better bike infrastructure and all that but every time I post about how the transit system is enfuckulated someone tells me to start biking and just... stop I know bikes exist Trust that I have my reasons for not biking to work

Council Update from this week's meeting: Dartmouth Cove infill bylaw amendments approved and potential changes to the deed transfer tax rate. Read about it here samaustin.ca/council-upda...

Why don’t you poors finance a helicopter?

Wow! Montreal’s public bike share system (BIXI) was featured in the TIME Best Inventions Hall of Fame for 2008, not far from the iPhone and Google Street View. While not the very first bike sharing system, it was one of the earliest and it was the model for many other systems, from NYC to London.

Reliability and frequency is more important than anything else. If people don't need to worry about when the bus will come, or if the bus will come, then they will use it. Especially if it gets them to their destination on time They won't use it if it makes them late b/c the only bus never came

Good luck getting home today #Halifax My wife has been stuck in traffic for 30 mins in the South End already and has only moved a couple blocks This is the car centric hellscape that Houston and Friends wants

I hadn’t used the Transit app in a long time since I rarely take the bus in Halifax anymore, but it’s added more sustainable transportation options for our city, including directions for walking, biking, Bird micromobility and Communauto Flex in addition to taking the bus or ferry.

Carney is the right guy for the job right now. When his mandate is up, maybe there will be a better candidate; but otherwise it's anything but PP

It’s a full house at the town hall tonight in District 8 with Mayor Andy Fillmore and Coun. Virginia Hinch. #Halifax

Bike lanes are for everyone, even dogs #BikeHFX #BikeJoy #BikeFriendlyPlanet #DogsOnBikes (or at least adjacent) urbanists.video/w/rHV7Z8SKpi...

Down with the new fancy tech, up with the traditional rail electrification! No, hydrogen trains aren't as good as they sound.

There are plenty of racist people in Canada, and Trump and US politics are enabling them. Normalizing the behaviour we see from US politicians, gives the racists who live here want to speak their mind too. We must oppose this at all costs, we want people to come here and thrive and help our economy

I’m impressed with Chender here for plainly stating that we need more housing in general, not just more public housing. And she’s right we need investment in Halifax Water and the power grid so that we can build in the right places, instead of just enabling more greenfield development.

Begging the transit users of Halifax to learn basic bus etiquette Have your ticket / pass / money / transfer in your hand when you board Move to the back Do everything you can to not touch people with your body, bag, purse, water bottle

How to relieve traffic congestion, guaranteed: Support density, sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and high quality public transit. Give people more reasons to stay out of cars and the road will open up to you.

An adult driver angry at a child they hit with their car. Our car culture summed up in one video.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

When you’re on the bus you really notice that congestion is caused by cars.

Paris is an example of a city who took things seriously and started making changes immediately. Doing targeted changes quickly and cheaply. Then going in and upgrading areas which needed improvements to handle the changes which emerged

Popped into the Halifax Tool Library and got myself a membership. What a fun space! So many tools! This is great. Thanks @danp.net for the recommendation! First job, fix my kids’ Nintendo DS 😀

Reading through all of the comments from the speakers, a lot of it feels very NIMBY to me. Lots of cliches (traffic, character of the neighborhood, ruining views). Some of it is legitimate, environmental concerns mainly (but believe it or not, eco-NIMBYism is real) Work with HRM, improve the cove

Evie Sweeney (I think), who is 14, and said she goes to Dartmouth Cove almost every day to walk her dog. She is an aspiring marine biologist and is worried about the sea life in the cove if it's infilled.

I am home but the public hearing for the proposed bylaw amendments for Dartmouth Cove has started. #Halifax staff just wrapped up a presentation. You can watch here but I will live post what speakers have to say: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAiF...

What I think is missing in the minimum wage/living wage debate is that modern suburban sprawl is inherently unsustainable. It's very difficult to live without significant expenses. Vehicle ownership being a major component that isn't actually required. You need to eat, you need to sleep /1

Look, I hardly drive and would love to never buy another car ever again. However, this is the kind of car I would like to buy if I needed to. Small, compact, electric, modular, utilitarian, tactile. Kia is killing it with this model, give me this every day over huge oversized trucks

Mark Carney always continues to impress me. Especially when he can go into more detail like he does here with the Economist. Many people think Trump is a fool, and obviously he is; but Carney understands that he isn't an imbecile. He wouldn't be the president otherwise. Carney is who we need rn
