I wrote this commentary last week on New York City #mayor-elect #MamdaniZohran, who brought so many factors to politics we don't see often: fun, joy, hope, and guts. No longer behind the paywall. #NYC #politics www.halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/l...

If you work in health care, please stop wearing perfume! Please stop layering on the heavily scented products. It's painful to those of us who are scent sensitive and could be deadly for some. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Trying to figure out how to build a good sheltered feeding station for my feral cat. What I had cobbled together got blown apart in last week's wind storm. 🤔

Using the power of Mother Nature to wash my window screens be laying them all out on the deck. Wind does not seem to be an issue. #worksmarternotharder

As usual, @suzannerent.bsky.social's reporting is detailed and revealing. But those details aside, can we acknowledge just how cowardly Fillmore is? He's afraid of speaking with a reporter? Coward. That word defines Fillmore's entire political career. Coward.

Nothing to see here, literally! Just 6ft me standing, you read that right, standing upright in front of a truck. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Gorgeous moonbow right now! #BeaverMoon #PictouCounty

Hope the sky is clear over my house tonight so I can see the Beaver Moon. 🦫🌙

It's my friend Peter! He's Bluesky famous now!!

Many of your favorite streaming services are running ICE recruitment ads: Spotify Hulu Max Pandora YouTube ESPN Let's go after one company, really pile on and boycott them. Then watch the others fold.

They skeered of Portland Frog

New frog species found in war ravaged Portland. Those strong little amphibians are anti-ICE and bring tons of joy wherever they are.

It's almost time. Let's go!! #BlueJays #WinItAll

Noah catalogued every living animal in pairs and was hyperfocused on boats. Don’t tell me autism started with Tylenol.

Please pass to any seniors this may help. Regarding the Canada Post strike: The Nova Scotia Seniors Care Grant (SCG) is currently open and you can apply online. The Heating Assistance Rebate (HARP) opens in OCTOBER and will also be available to apply for online. Go to the link below for more info.

A friend's son had this surgery earlier this year. It was wildly successful. What a blessing NB didn't make him go through the hoops that NS does for its residents. I hope more people are able to get the surgery 🙏 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Dear #BlueJays, It's my birthday. Please kick ass. Thank you, BB

Out for a stroll this evening, I saw someone I know with what seemed to be a new e-scooter. Talked to them and they got one to replace their Halifax car commute downtown and back!!!! Said they got tired of spending 30 mins in the car while watching people on bikes and scooters cruising by. 1/2

Craziest thunderstorm over my part of Pictou County last night. I don't think I've ever seen so much lightning! 23mm rain in my gauge but hearing that other parts of PC had little to no rain. CAN-NS-171

“We are wiping our ass with the boreal forest” … this film shows that one of the main reasons for the wildfires in northern and western Canada (in addition to climate change) is clearcutting of boreal forests for toilet paper. Oh, and FSC certification is greenwashing. youtube.com/watch?v=0h4t...

Wildfires: Penalties for violating fire bans soar up to $150,000 in Newfoundland -- $50,000 for first offence $75,000 for second offence and $150,000 for third offence with up to one year in jail if not paid #Newfoundland #Labrador #Wildfires #BurnBan halifax.citynews.ca/2025/08/08/a...

This is big news. In Canada, the Israeli lobby is deeply embedded in every activity on Parliament hill. You can't go to an NDP convention without bumping into them. This is the the first time that a western nation calls out threat to democracy. www.middleeasteye.net/news/netherl...

Geoscientists Nova Scotia threatens people opposed to uranium mining with fines, jail time by @joanbaxter.bsky.social This is in our "Dismantling Democracy" series, so free for all to read.

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

A story I wrote on this issue in April: www.halifaxexaminer.ca/government/p...

Wetlands are the most important land to protect to mitigate the climate crisis according to the UN. This land was essentially stolen by Shaw. Formerly public land, quietly gifted to Shaw for nowhere near market value. #Halifax waterfrontmediahfx.the902hxir.ca/90986-2

"How long can a state built on seasonal visitors survive when the season never starts?" This is an excellent analysis of the crushing impact of Canadian resistance. Canadians are refusing to spend money in a land run by a tyrant. Keep the boycott strong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w47Q...

If anyone (besides NS Premier Houston and natural resources minister Rushton) is inclined to believe NS Mining Association Sean Kirby’s arguments for ending the ban on uranium mining in N.S., here is info from DNR experts back in 2019, refuting all Kirby’s BS: www.halifaxexaminer.ca/economy/natu...

This is a new study, but not news. Multi class-action lawsuits have awarded Billions over the years. 33 countries have banned glyphosate. Calling on Canada to #BANglyphosateNOW glyphosatestudy.org/uncategorize...

Miss Pepper is wondering why I haven't fed her second lunch yet. She's starving after only having 3 breakfasts and one lunch so far #Caturday #MeanMommy

Halisky, for those of you who don’t bike but are supportive of bike lanes, are you writing to your councillors? Could you drop some talking points here to share with others who might want to do the same? 👇

response from my councillor who will oppose this: "It would be helpful if you and your allies could forward emails supporting bike lanes/multi-use trails to Mayor and Council via the Clerk’s Office at [email protected] today and Monday" please do so.

Halifax City Hall Tuesday June 10 8:00AM #BikeHFX Bring your bells

Halisky, whether you ride a bike or don’t but still support bike lanes, come and show up at city hall on Tuesday & lend your support if you can.

Trump's ambassador to Canada has a long and dark history of disinformation and interference in the politics of other countries. So when he tells Canada to "get over it" regarding Trump's threat to our nation, don't believe him. Check out my analysis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkAg...

The fascist rising is happening before our eyes - arresting judges, public officials. Canadians must keep the boycott strong. America is a nation of menace.
