The Speaker is incapable of mediating. When PP speaks he gets quiet and attention. However when Carney speaks he gets harassed and heckled, and has to shout to even be heard Since PP returned to parliament, this has occurred almost every time Carney speaks The Speaker is laughable and pathetic

The framing of the Province's Planning Order is quite something. They rejected the Regional Plan because of watercourse setbacks and EVs, didn't understand the consequences, and now have to issue an order to fix the mess they created. It's HRM's fault though! Just wild. novascotia.ca/just/regulat...

Israel has continued to illegally intercept vessels from the Sumud Flotilla. As Canada says it's “not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad," the people are defending the flotilla. Protests are sparking around the world:

Today, we walked out of the legislature and refused to vote on Houston's Omnibus Bill.

I'm not against single family homes. I love them! Especially when they're stacked vertically so they generate enough revenue to cover their costs.

My October E-News. Some bike stats, water conservation, some transportation news (closed bus lane, cancelled roundabout), splash pad, cherry trees, Dartmouth Cove public hearing, and more. Read about it here samaustin.ca/e-news-octob...

I may have solved the municipal speed cameras issue. We can pull the speed cameras and instead install speed regulators in all vehicles. It slows down our streets without 'punishing' drivers with a so-called cash grab.

So, let me get this straight; we put cops in super stores to protect Galen Weston's investments but we won't put cops on busses to protect council's investments in its democratically approved strategic plans?

Bringing workers back to the office full time won’t save our downtowns There are so many personal, professional, social, and environmental benefits to working from home. This commenter shares their thoughts: www.halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/b...

Credit and debit not functioning across the country today. Spent more than an hour in Superstore in Truro today b/c the POS systems weren't accepting card Also seeing people say that Superstore and Shoppers in Halifax were also affected

Someone needs to educate Sean Fraser about how the right appropriates progressive language & ideas to evade or diminish criticism. And, people need a better understanding about how fascism operates because there are MPs in the House who are enemies of democracy.

Cumulative revenue per acre over the years in Halifax. Notice the collapse post WWII (sprawl) and slow, slow recovery after about 1980. "Why are we broke?" We invested a lot of money in properties that don't generate much revenue, apparently.

Hey what's up #Halifax, are you listening? Will the Provincial government help out the municipality to get real infrastructure built? We've been studying it for decades, we know where it would go, and what needs to be built/upgraded to support it Stop studying it, just fund it

If you never heard the term "groyper" before a few days ago, then you'll be surprised to know that there is an online community even further right than MAGA They use memes to hide their ideology behind a computer screen, and hated Kirk b/c he wasn't anti-establishment enough /1

“I’m a resident of the borough. This bike infrastructure has literally changed how I get around. I sold my car, and I’ve changed how I see urban mobility.”

Tonight:

BREAKING: The government of #Canada announces a Major Projects Office for large, nation-building infrastructure projects. Too much emphasis on mining and fossil fuel-related projects, IMO, but one piece of good news: 🚄 the Alto High-Speed Rail project from Toronto to Quebec City has made the list.

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

As a driver, I would like more automated speed enforcement so I can drive the speed limit and not have some asshole in a Ram pickup tailgating to get me to speed up or get out of their way

Having someone ride your ass instinctively makes you speed up, making the road more dangerous for everyone Red light cameras pull in huge amounts of money, automated speed cameras rake in money People are cutting them down in Ontario b/c they are so effective and people don't like getting caught

“There’s no excuse for political violence — but it’s hard to be sympathetic for someone who profited off hate. Charlie Kirk never ‘lowered the temperature’ as so many politicians and pundits are now disingenuously pleading. He is absolutely responsible for making political violence more prevalent.”

Let the NSNDP know what's important to you right now. Legislature starts on Sept 23rd and we need to hold Tim Houston and the Conservatives accountable #halifax #nspoli

An interesting perspective on Halifax by the two young immigrants of "Make The Change" (a small business aimed at helping new immigrants succeed in Canada)

With all the #Halifax Transit express buses that go down Barrington, maybe that street should be for transit and pedestrians only?

*Seventeen* speed cameras cut down in Toronto last night!?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiz0...

Motorists ruin cities.

Houston calls for NS Power to withdraw or significantly reduce their rate hike proposal Perhaps if we hadn't sold our provincially owned utilities company and all its land, assets, and infrastructure; we might not be in this situation 🤔

Build vehicles to fit the streets, not streets to fit the vehicles.

“Got Drunk, Fell Down” … aptly named public art work on the Halifax waterfront by artists Chris Hanson and Hendrika Sonnenberg.

Here's the link to the report released exactly 10 years ago outlining exactly how'd we do it today if we ever had the political will to actually invest in the future of transportation in Halifax Nothing's changed in the last decade except that it's gotten more expensive

We need child-safe traffic – not traffic-safe children.

If you really want to preserve historic buildings, you should advocate *more* height and density when vacant lots are being developed into housing. Every unit built there is less demand pressure to demolish and redevelop old buildings.

If the Provincial #NovaScotia government actually invested in rail transit, it would probably look like this. Initial service along the red section, which is within 3 km of ~180k people* They would reroute buses to funnel them into the new stations, and permit increased density nearby /1

Why do people immigrate to #Canada even with our ongoing housing crisis, cost of living increases, and healthcare wait time? B/c it's a safe, relatively without corruption, you can keep your family together once you've got a job, and it doesn't take years of waiting

I’ve always enjoyed following the news and being informed, but this year it’s been harder. The daily frustration and disappointment is bad for my sanity and productivity. That’s why I’ve been rethinking my information diet and relationship with the news. Here are 8 rules I’ve adopted. Big🧵:

Just a friendly reminder that #Halifax police officers make on average around $133k per year

👀

There are parallels here in #nspoli with the way our rural premier seeks to meddle in HRM's municipal affairs. For all his crowing about his (false) mandate, he has little risk in kicking the HRM hornet's nest, as the PCs were mostly shut out in HRM ridings. #nspoli

hfxALERT (Tues., Aug. 26 at 2:10 p.m.): Natural Gas Leak Albro Lake Road, Dartmouth - An evacuation is in place by HRFE due to a Natural Gas Leak in the area of Albro Lake Road, Pinecrest Drive, Crystal Drive and across the lake as far as Lancaster Drive in Dartmouth. Stay away from area.

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday’s rains have refilled Sullivan’s Pond! Great to see!

The intersection of Burnside Dr and Akerley Blvd is 5% of the area, and practically supports the same number of vehicles (2 lanes each direction); as the interchange between the 118 and the 111 This kind of wasteful land use is bankrupting #Halifax and other car centric North American cities

Also want to shoutout to Ahsan Habib, a professor at Dalhousie for going on CTV and standing on business when it comes to the practicality and necessity that is not just commuter rail, but major transit infrastructure investment
