'Do not obey in advance' Hear hear

Andy Fillmore, elected mayor with the weakest mandate in the history of HRM, is frustrated that the democracy of municipal council is working as intended and is asking the province if he can have more power www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The trouble with uranium in Nova Scotia By Elisabeth Kosters

Forever wishing Halifax transit would run the woodside ferry on weekends and holidays. Making everyone bottleneck through dt Dartmouth is exhausting, idc.

2024: Filmore, 42% 2020: Savage, 80% 2016: Savage, 68% 2012: Savage, 57% 2008: Kelly, 56% 2004: Kelly, 82% 2000: Kelly, 55% 1995: Fitzgerald, 51% The mayor is acting like he represents some kind of majority, when he’s the least popular mayor (by vote share) Halifax has had since amalgamation.

Aww yeah! I'm on the 84 right now and found one #ExaminerBus

What's currently happening in Nova Scotia with uranium mining and bike lanes is exactly why our democratic structures no longer work properly. When one person thinks they have the authority to do whatever they want, well, that's authoritarianism not democracy.

If you ever said “wow libraries are great” then guess what? You support Canada Post, because they have a library shipping rate (reduced cost) and libraries use it a lot, to move books around and also spend more money on things like the collection you claim to love.

Hearing reports that there's a goddamn Nazi bar in my neighbourhood 😡

Here's a reason for us to get out and VOTE locally here in Halifax, because the guy running for the Halifax MP seat for the Conservatives is a former Loblaws Corporate Executive of 11 years, Mark Boudreau. Please Vote y'all, we don't need a corporate executive managing us. #Halifax #HaliSky

I don’t want to see a nice polite campaign from Lisa Robert’s. I want to to see the @ndp.ca go hard against this Loblaws exec they are trotting out to hide the hateful transphobia of the CPC. I want attack ads.

I've got to get out a couple more times this week!

reminder for local friends, the chronicle herald is an american company now and will be pushing an american view. The Halifax Examiner @halifaxexaminer.ca and The Coast @thecoast.ca are both Canadian and are both worth a sub

Cars are the most important people in Halifax

Halifax has a significant problem with pedestrian safety. How many more people will be killed crossing the street before we take this seriously? globalnews.ca/news/1098110...

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

Good morning #booksky Just a friendly reminder that Audible, owned by Amazon/Bezos, supports the tech giant. Libro.fm offers an alternative, letting you buy audiobooks while supporting independent bookstores. Choose where your dollars go and align your listening with your values.

Delighted to see this show up so many times in my feed today. I love the Halifax Public Libraries! My friend takes little sewing projects to the Central Library, and I love being in the space itself

If you are able and interested, now would be a good time to shovel some leaves away from a storm drain in your neighbourhood before it gets dark. This one was hard to find!

Hey #halisky. I’ll be sharing some resources and questions to ask provincial candidates now that we are in an election no one wanted. First is a series of questions on NDA legislation courtesy of Can’t Buy My Silence. 🤫

- Bring Back Rent Control - Ban Fixed Term Leases (Close the Loophole) - Buy & Build Affordable Housing If you care about housing in Nova Scotia, these are your demands this election. #capebreton #HaliSky #southshore #truro #hrm #nspoli #NSACORN #NovaScotia

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,879,088!

#CarCulture in Halifax is the street sweeper working its way down the Cogswell detour road, with effects that will go unnoticed by drivers. Meanwhile, the multiuse path is a chockablock full of mud, gravel, and detritus from the road and construction. Hundreds of people impacted every day.

The library being "the last real third space" isn't a reason to keep adding new responsibilities to the library; it is a reason to create more third spaces.

Normalize virus reports like weather reports. We appreciate weather reports even if they bring us bad news, as they help us plan ahead and avoid accidents. We need to stop being in denial about airborne viruses spreading. Sharing data helps us prepare and makes our lives easier.
