Do you know how excited I am for these events with @daviddemchuk.com and @peterbcounter.com? REAL DAMN EXCITED IS HOW EXCITED.

From @dalhousiestudentsfordfa — EDIT: ⚠️ DALHOUSIE STUDENTS ATTENTION; READ BELOW FOR DETAILS ⚠️ The Dalhousie Board of Governors have refused to accept the DFA’s proposal, citing financial constraints… again.

Here’s a short clip of some of what happened after Fillmore left.

I was the only reporter at this town hall. Apparently, there will be more in other districts. If there are, I’ll be there. In the meantime, you can subscribe to @halifaxexaminer.ca to support this and other reporting.

I’m at the town hall in District 4 with Mayor Andy Fillmore and Coun. Trish Purdy. This meeting has turned into a debate and questions to Fillmore about the Davis Cup.

The town hall tonight with Andy Fillmore and Trish Purdy was a glorious shitshow of angry HRM residents demanding answers about the Davis Cup. Andy pulled the plug about ten minutes in and ended the event as Free Palestine chants filled the room. 1/n #nspoli #cdnpoli

Here is a big sample of some of the letters sent to Mayor Andy Fillmore, Halifax councillors, and the clerk's office. I went through 658 pages of correspondence. Only 27 letters were in support of Fillmore's bike lane motion. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...

#Halifax council isn’t perfect—who is?!—but there are solid voices speaking out, including Janet Steele. Removing the bridge tolls, making parking free at hospitals, not promoting working from home all add to congestion. That’s Premier Tim Houston’s doing, not bike lanes.

obsessed with this vague notice from the government of Nova Scotia. Like it’s definitely about the new fire restrictions, but it also looks like a poster you’d find yellowed and curled on the bulletin board of a diner in a town where locals won’t talk about their missing kids

ICYMI: Last week, I made a video about the potential for bike lanes on Morris Street, the recent political carnival around it, and did some measuring to see if there's actually even a need to drop a traffic lane at all.
