Please email your councillor, the mayor, and clerks halifax and ask them to immediately open up a warming centre with no barriers and open to anyone. a list of emails in the following thread.

Instead of the warming centres, 4 shelters expanded their capacity until Mon morning. These shelters are three 902 man up locations & beacon house. It is some relief for some, but there is also a deep violence in this choice. Substance users are not welcome in these shelters and are often banned.

Who can plan? And in what ways? People should know that the city of Halifax @hfxgov.bsky.social did not open any warming centres this weekend. We are getting arctic winds, and an incoming snowstorm. It's cold enough out there to kill people experiencing homelessness. 1/4

Carney is no hero, this is a polite tantrum about not being at the grown up table of colonialism. The man cut any real funding that supports justice or semblance of a safety net. Increased border, military and carceral spending, & continues to transgress against Indigenous sovereignty & rights.

Since so many people are fangirling over Carney's supposed "historic" speech in Davos, I want to offer an alternative reading. This is not left cynicism, but a sober reading of imperial positioning in this moment. 1) Carney squarely positioned Canada as a middle power.

At least 11 Palestinian students were injured, some by live fire and others by tear gas inhalation and...

start the new year right! send funds to this community mutual aid fund! they redistribute all the funds monthly!

I don't think BoPc ever listens to public consultations but the community members are my favourite thing to listen to every year (excluding anyone associated with alderney landing)

Saw this on another app that folks might be leaving because it's evil, posting here for more reach! Direct mutual aid keeps our communities safe!! 💕☀️

Hey :) if you can please consider sending funds and sharing with your networks!!

mutual aid request ! send funds & share!

“they are lying to you”

very curious about the non elected city staff that have such impact on the budget process// council in general

CALL TO ACTION: Tomorrow at 6 PM Demand that HRM immediately remove police from mental health and wellness checks and fully fund anti-carceral, community-led responses. #Halisky

"When asked a second time if he had requested those powers, Fillmore said, "It's entirely up to the premier to make those decisions, and that's all I'm going to say." This municipality is getting owned by the PC's fast www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We didn't vote for PC politicians to override municipal decisions on transport - and even require the removal of approved infrastructure, at our cost. Email to Public Works Minister and Premier on their municipal transportation power-grab, feel free to adapt and send docs.google.com/document/d/1...

laughable that Tim Houston and Fred Tilley, who don't take the bus and live nowhere nearby think they are best placed to make decisions about transport here. Off-the-scale egotistical and presumptuous behaviour that will favour their big business pals, not the public www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Hugely concerned that our Mayor is behind this power takeover, or has influenced it in some way www.thecoast.ca/news-opinion...

Maclean caught offguard and having a hard time answering questions, maybe because BoPC did not ask any valid questions in during their 'oversight' 🤔

Both of andy's seats (MP and mayor) are empty right now. Have we considered that he is putting on a performance art piece on how elected officials are unnecessary?

priority 1 sidewalk and priority 1 road.

And coubcillor Janet Steele, why is the first time we hear the question of "how we can reach you for community safety input?" being asked to a BUSINESS OWNER and not the wealth of data being provided by the community members here who have clear expertise in what safety actually looks like. #halisky

Fund firefighters, Not Cops #hrmcouncil #halisky

Becky Kent saying we need information to prevent cancer for firefighters when approving a children's presentation for $101 million HRP budget

A speaker just asked why there's an on-duty police officer at city hall. It's due to the increase threat of political violence. However, this is not a regular on-duty police officer. This is an extra-duty police officer. Council is paying a premium for that police officer.

I think this is the only thing MacLean does???

But police will keep making so much money due to non-negotiable contractual obligations in the same budget
