This is a normal thing. Welcome to the world of building HSR, Canada.

Loving these new outdoor dining structures from Impasto and Hungry Ghost on Garfield in Park Slope. What used to be about 5 parking spaces is now room for 40+ people to have pizza or coffee. So cool.

"For 50 years I've dealt with businesspeople who have always accused me of killing the economy by banning cars from the streets – the opposite is true. For every parking space occupied by one car, there are five pedestrians walking past shops with their wallets." #hermannknoflacher

Any updates on this? I haven't seen anything about it being reviewed by SiRT

It's cheaper to do battery + solar or wind, but Nova Scotia Premier prefers to unilaterally remove our fracking ban in order to construct gas plants, because he's compromised by the Epstein class who he used to cook the books for as an offshore accountant in Bermuda. share.google/McbzeTgNe9sF...

The Government of Newfoundland & Labrador is reminding folks to get their vaccines…..using a 6-fingered clearly AI-generated “human” in the ad campaign.

another fucking mine, under the guise of jobs, how many tax dollars involved, how many tax breaks, how much paid for reclamation. no answers so the taxpayer is being raped by Tim Houston and his Epstein files buddies

fucking seriously

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

this is a total scam, the company knew dam well its employees wages were taxable and did not want to pay the employer portion, also a retired teacher/principal did not know his wages on top of his pension were taxable, BS, he thought he had found a way around taxes www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

WTF is wrong with politicians and the fucking NIMBY idiots which seem to in every part of Canada. voting against any sort of housing is showing their disgusting selves, voting against seniors housing is on par with voting against housing for the homeless. These people are a waste of breath

Meeting with his buddies who he used to cook the books for in Bermuda. He's very obedient to the Epstein class. Elbows up! Drill baby drill us all the way back to the 20th century so Houston can retire comfortably in Bermuda. share.google/u1mj0b6ZsWQp...

Tim down hob knobing with the Epstein Files men of the O&G industry. And to add insult to it we the taxpayer are paying for this shit. he must have a side piece in Texas. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My latest investigation is out. A well-known Canadian digital strategy firm has begun openly selling "surrogate online communities" of social media users to undisclosed clients. The users come for the viral content and are pushed up an "activation ladder." www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/30/i...

Happy belated World Press Freedom Day! Even though we need our press to be free, journalism itself isn't free to make. Journalists tend to want things like "wages" just so that they can "eat food" and "pay rent." Please consider becoming a paid subscriber of www.grandparade.news today!

Please, please PLEASE do not do this. 🤦‍♀️

"The SBC’s governing documents allowed for the removal of churches that had female pastors or affirmed homosexuality. But when Doyle and other activists pressed for scrutiny of churches with known abusers on staff, SBC leaders said they had no such authority."

Please express your unconditional support for more housing (in particular, missing middle housing) in our city. We can't sit idly by while our city continues to frame housing policy in this way.

Tim Houston is lying when he claims offshore oil exploration is the future. Look for his great UK company "Inceptio Oil and Gas Limited" on line. Zero findings except for the news covering his announcement. The company if it actually exists does not have any presence on the internet a fake/scam

the problem is not that there are no Canadians qualified (servers, kitchen staff) but that there are none willing to work 12+hrs/day 7 days a week for min wage or less. Pay a decent wage get staff. bring in foreign staff pay below min wage zero sympathy www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Wondering if - or how long before - these proposed methane gas and diesel plants will turn into the new Northern Pulp mill for Pictou County. Huge financial and environmental liability that benefits only a very few.

Pictou County cozy: PC political connections and the proposed fossil gas power plants reported by Joan Baxter @joanbaxter.bsky.social

Look, when you’ve spent months carefully curating your personal brand as Nova Scotia’s most enthusiastic part-time Mi’kmaq auntie, sometimes the facts just have to take a back seat.

“That expire after 2026-27” in a Canadian federal financial document means the program reaches its funding grant end date in FY 2026-27. It does not mean a decision has been made to not renew the program or renewal isn’t being considered. Note that nearly all funding is “over five years”.

Due to the special weather statement, we've made the decision to cancel today's #KidicalMassHfx ride. This is our first cancellation in 4 years of rides, so we're pretty bummed about it. But, it will be June before you know it! We'll have more details for that ride soon. Stay dry today #BikeHfx.

You'd have to be a blatantly corrupt moron to build gas plants & fracking operations instead of doing this. share.google/ftxHM63klXnr...

The story of the United States in the past decade is that the most materially comfortable society in the history of the world, out of sheer boredom, subscribed to conspiracy theories that told them to take a sledgehammer to the foundations of modernity.

“Twitter perpetuates the false narrative that far-right views are normal Canadian values, and that they’re under attack — all while demonizing everyone else. In doing so, they undermine people’s faith in democracy. “Fascists have been doing this for over a century, only the technology has changed.”

"This one small action won't fix everything so there's no point in the one small action" is just nihilism disguised as savviness. Why even bother commenting on anything if you don't think small actions can ever be effective?

#Spain receives more sunshine than any country in Europe — and it is building the solar infrastructure that geography always promised. Extremadura, Andalusia, and Castilla-La Mancha became the center where Spain added new solar capacity, racing toward its target of 74% renewable electricity by 2030

California to begin ticketing driverless cars that violate traffic laws

If not now When? If not here Where? If not you Who?

This should be on every front page and every newscast. We’re sitting here in North America feeling what is essentially a mild irritant, while the actions of the U.S. and Israel are causing significant pain across the globe

Folks, the CPP rate cut is well-designed. It's based on the actuarial review showing the plan is over-funded, benefits don't change, and it leaves a prudent buffer. Don't listen the hair on fire crowd. It's responsible stewardship of the public pension. I'll give them that one.

Finally answered this survey, which many locals have discussed on here today. Awful! We need more housing, not restrictions. I added a big comment at the end that the city needs to stop nit picking and just allow housing to be... built. Shocking I know. engagehalifax.ca/centre-plan-...

Canada is the only western democracy to fund a residence for the Official Opposition. And at the same time, the residence for the PRIME MINISTER at 24 Sussex is in an embarrassing state of disrepair. Please sign the petition.

Strange how "if it saves just one life" a $200M highway twinning project is "worth it" But for homelessness and social programs $20k to save a life is more than we can afford. 0.01% of the highway....

Getting close to being finished -- 9 homes replace one. We call this little community Folk. I'll have more info soon, but it's pretty wonderful to experience the direct connection between the front doors and balconies and the sidewalk, which aren't buried behind driveways and garages.

this is a terrible survey (a hint: do not say "improve" in a question where you are asking if people like and idea or not) but it is also really important to fill out and you have my permission to use a lot of upper case and exclamation marks

Barcelona’s superblocks are even better than I imagined.

I was thinking about how insane CBC News is now. Our Premiers do the most blatantly corrupt shit and CBC reports like its job is to both-sides everything, make blatant corruption & attacks on our democracy seem like normal political policies. youtu.be/JSHHfybjTeE?...

In response to NIMBY sentiment, Halifax planners are proposing to frustrate the development of missing-middle housing. If you care about making Halifax more inclusive, please write your councillor. We don't need more arbitrary setback and design requirements. We need more housing.

Next judge needs to make an example of him and give him more time. 🤬

wow what a pile of horse shit this survey is. NIMBY and predetermined outcomes where no housing will be built, increased parking and fewer homes. What sort of mental midget designed this disaster of a survey. Council and the bureaucrats should all be fired

Every single question on here was like "we have a really open system that produces a lot of housing and there isnt too many rules, we are considering making it extremely complex for ??? benefit"

This survey where Halifax asks residents to please put on their NIMBY hats and encourage the city to further restrict housing, increase all setbacks and allow more surface parking in the regional centre is infuriating. Some of my answers were in all caps. engagehalifax.ca/centre-plan-...

It’s cool how like the entirety of the anglophone urban planning profession views their job as holding public meetings to foster backlash against housing growth.

Good lord, go fill out this survey. The premise is that they are increasing the housing supply by allowing the missing middle to be built. Half the questions are proposals to REDUCE the missing middle and make it harder and more expensive to build.

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” — @brenttoderian.bsky.social with @modacitylife.com.

It was a drop in not a shelter but the message is the same - Bridgewater hates their unhoused community members.
