Protesters surround vehicle transporting Premier Tim Houston, smash windshield after speech at Acadia University By Jaya Condran

People have been protesting through the appropriate channels for months, to no effect. They keep losing services due to cuts by the government, directed by this premier. This is an expected escalation. (I’m not condoning anything! But I’m pointing out that people have not felt heard so far.)

The proper channel to communicate to the govt is through your MLA's constituency office that's closed to in person visits, phone forwarded to voicemail, email that returns a form letter, Province House that now bars most people entry, or via public statements that are ignored Ave legislated thru

Globe and mail thinks our mayor, who is under criminal investigation for financial irregularities, and who doesn’t seem to actually understand the job he signed on for, should be given more power.

Amnnnnnd some good news in my life. And for one of my students! Something like this would’ve made a major difference to me when I was a student working multiple jobs, getting student loans and paying for university on my own.

Poppy insanity, not well planned. Rain earlier in the spring flushed all the seeds down to the sidewalk edge. So I have a line of poppies, with bare space behind them.

Watching Ukrainians cry for loved-ones pulled from the rubble of their homes after a Russian missile strike while Russians whine, moan and cry about not being able to fuel their cars kinda puts things into perspective.

"Private-public" partnership. The public will pay the full load. The oil giants get all the profit. We paid $34 billion for TMX pipeline. The companies balked at having to pay their share through the toll rates so the public has been subsidizing 50 cents on the barrel. #astheplanetburns

MLA Melissa Sheehy-Richard and the rest of the Houston government operate like the mafia. Here she is trying to intimidate a constituent for disagreeing with her. This is how the mafia run protection rackets.

Reposting this on behalf of The Floatation Centre. When construction work is so damaging to small businesses profits they might close, there needs to be a relief fund they can apply for. Building all these new buildings shouldn't come at the expense of our city's small businesses.

An elected official discussing #VisionZero & #RoadSafety at a meeting while driving is a good example of #motonormativity in action. Driving is so normalised that many people don't even register it as incompatible with joining a virtual meeting. That's why Safe Systems matter! #DistractedDriving

ha! earlier this month i thought about sending an email to the Premier's office that began: Can someone please get back to me to explain why Tim Houston hates Nova Scotians so much? I'm being completely serious. Was he bullied in school? Is there someone he's trying to punish?

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building wider roads leads to more cars stuck in the same congestion. Understanding #InducedDemand Via @wired.com
