@ohtheurbanity.bsky.social my wife and I are planning on visiting Montreal at the end of July, and plan on staying in Plateau-Mont-Royale. Any suggestions for must do activities/places to visit in the area? Bonus for bike friendly options! I've visited 3-4 times, but haven't been since 2018

The only thing “carbon capture” has ever been successful at, is acting as a corporate and political distraction from, and an excuse for avoiding, REAL climate action.

We're counting down the days to the first #KidicalMassHfx ride of 2026. Just 9 more sleeps until we ride to the Halifax Waterfront together. Get all the details on our website below. 1/3 hfx.bike/kidical-mass...

Halifax has been positive in job growth since March 2025, likely because of increased defense and military spending

Spring has sprung in Minneapolis and bikes are everywhere. 😍

I am super grateful for a local bike store that loans me a cargo bike so we can keep up our daily kid-carrying while our bike is in the shop, but there’s nothing like getting your own bike back. It’s very reassuring that we really have chosen the right bike for our family’s needs!

I'm continually impressed at how motornormativity causes people to create a revisionist history of American cities where they sprouted up fully formed and filled with cars and parking spots. Motornormativity also causes these people to ignore the many places that have reversed car dependency.

This streetcar took seven (7) minutes to travel 300 metres from the station to the other side of the intersection.

The $200M space launch facility in Canso, Nova Scotia is the only one of its kind in Canada

Some highlights from the amazing Stars On Ice show in Halifax last night! It was so cool to see Piper and Paul, as well as some of the other Olympians who represented us in Italy this winter. The whole show was amazing and packed full of entertainment

Apparently some of the downtown parkades have keyed in that the provincial return to office order means they can charge more for day passes.

With gerrymandering concerns rising in Alberta, this animation shows how proportional representation solves the problem. Under our current system, lines dictate results. With a proportional system, voters get the representation they chose, regardless of how the map is drawn.

Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

All are welcome to join to honour the memory of Scritchy Raccone, our fallen hero of the #PylonWars. A small service will be held at the intersection of Harvard and Allan Streets in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Saturday, April twenty second 18th at 2:00 PM.

New Starter Kits for @godotengine.org are coming! Once the two new ones are released I'll start updating older ones from Godot 4.5 to 4.6! ✨ #gamedev kenney.nl/starter-kits

The #NDP leadership voting opens today and I have been catching up on my debate viewing and policy research. I think all of the candidates have presented very respectable platforms It was a difficult choice for me, but ranked choice voting allowed ME to not compromise on MY personal beliefs

There's a difference between feeling unsafe and uncomfortable. MLAs are not unsafe in Province House. Closing down the second floor to the public is a cowardly move. They did it because some of the MLAs feel uncomfortable with the cuts, and won't admit it.

Have you ever noticed?

BREAKING: ‘Shock and awe’ at DNR: Wildlife division gone, managers sacked, and restructured department geared for natural resources exploitation and extraction reported by @joanbaxter.bsky.social

Wow spoiler alert: the biggest cause of bus delay in Halifax is car volumes

Quick reminder that the Mill Cove engagement session is this Wednesday, Feb. 11. Two drop-in times are available.

So if I'm reading this report right, 10 years after passing the BRT plan we are now starting a three year planning process so that by 2028 we may start to impliment parts of BRT plan first approved by council in 2016.

I finally watched Andor S2 recently and I can't help but think about this quote from the show "The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

I’m finding it painful to watch CBC platform mostly conservatives to gush praise at former Prime Minister Stephen Harper (they’re releasing his archival collection) with almost zero commentary about the awful things he did while in power & around the world since. The selective amnesia is nauseating.

Report card on @gandersocial.bsky.social - feels just like Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, etc - very limited features still, but the basics are good so far - limited content, it's a closed beta but to be expected - entirely Canadian, which is very refreshing - quick fixes and responsive feedback

It only makes sense to feed buses into the higher capacity transit. People don't mind transfers when they are reliable and comfortable. Wish Halifax could just figure that out and build commuter trains on the right of way that already exists

Finally got my invite to @gandersocial.bsky.social and tried it out for the first time. Lots of work to be done still, but the foundation seems decent and it'll be exciting to see it grow

#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...
