@hfxshippingnews.bsky.social do you have any resources on digging out foundations for large buildings? living next to a construction site and watching the progress has been fascinating

🚨 1/ Privatized care in Nova Scotia has failed. $184M of public money, poor pay for workers, and unsafe conditions for the most vulnerable. It’s time for accountability and a complete overhaul. #NSPoli #HealthcareCrisis 🧵 #NSPoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

That could have been a truth social post man

Oh no he’s announcing to America he’s going to commit a massive swath of war crimes for the hell of it, okay, cool. Wow man. This really feels like an appropriate way to sundown this country for its 250th

The new enforcement officer at the Harvard–Allan diagonal diverter seems to be effective 🦝 #BikeHfx

Deploy the raccoon! A new front in #PylonWars has opened up & it is darn cute. A good likeness to our bike mayor too @seebo429.bsky.social #BikeHFX

It often feels as though Fillmore is the Leader of the Opposition and most of council is the actual government. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mayor put themselves into that role.

Austin again: mayor is right that councillors have to vote their conscience. Reaction goes to the role of mayor in our system. Role of mayor is to build consensus and he’s disappointed Fillmore didn’t do that.

The Serious Incident Response Team is looking for dashcam footage from anyone driving on Hwy. 103 near Tantallon from 11 p.m.–midnight on March 28. An off-duty Bridgewater cop hit and killed a man who was walking in the area, says a press release from Khalehla Perrault.

UPDATE: DFO minister says the destruction to the marine habitat is not justified and has denied authorization for the infilling request at Dartmouth Cove. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

The Mayor is touting the importance of literacy and early access to books, after having led efforts to: 1) spend the library reserve fund on non-library items; 2) reduce library staffing/funding; 3) cut school library staff.

what is this, middle school lmfao

Here’s the speaker of the legislature flipping off people during a vote. On TV. #nspoli

I dropped off more cones. Looking good!

The latest episode of Philosophy Tube is about conversion therapy, why it’s still legal in the UK, and the ways the British government is implicated in it making it NHS policy. Proud to expose this stuff ✊ youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

Instead, we have a mayor who cannot stop himself from nickel-and-diming bike infrastructure on a monthly basis

wooo so happy to see Tides Rides coming back! #bikehfx

what a week/it is wednesday

This is where hope comes from... not our leaders, but everyday people standing up to them.

Traffic cones are back 🚲 #BikeHfx

Thin layer of snow on the sidewalks today in peninsula Kjipuktuk/Halifax #hfxws . Watch your footing if you're walking. Road surfaces mostly clear - take the lane #BikeHFX. Bollards have completely vanished from the Donham Diverter but no evidence of crushing - pick one up if you spot any en route

This government is embarrassing

So few outlets for youth in rural NS. Especially youth who don’t fit in. Their rights are being violated by this legislation. They won’t get to experience things like music, theatre, arts. This violates their right to a full education. This is actually really dire.

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), and a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.” Getting around a bike more often could reduce dementia risk.

saw this poster yesterday, figured some of you folks might be into it: Halifax Synth Meetup, Thursday April 2 6pm, at Cafe Marco Polo #Halisky

Currently on France TV, the new mayor of Paris Grégoire celebrating his victory by biking around on a bike share. He’s now taking an interview while riding.

Merci !

Iran war has me turning into a secular evangelical folks, don't do stuff that will get you sent to hell

This is the kind of joy that #KidicalMassHfx wants you to know is possible.

So Trump started this war without any plan. Houston made all those cuts without an economic analysis. These guys are just blundering their way through decisions that are ruining lives powered by ego and "I know best".

When people actually did the economic analysis, it turned out that for every dollar the NS gov’t invested in the arts, it generated two dollars in economic gain. Who tf would cut that? That’s an economic driver. That’s a golden fucking goose.

Dislike

Image from Halifax Reddit. Sometimes it feels like HRM is *trying* to kill pedestrians in crosswalks

Happy Spring,everyone!

"Most of the 10 measures focus on road transport fuels, given the large consumption by cars & trucks, although air travel & even cooking methods are also addressed" But not walking/cycling? Those health & env benefits ignored b/c #CarBrain is a pernicious disease www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Another day, another perfectly reasonable thread in the local Facebook group about the Harvard–Allan diagonal diverter. Despondent motorists, forced to use the next street over, are fleeing the city to their second homes in search of more convenient shopping.

it’s cheaper to kill someone with your car than speed

Canadians have been vacationing in Cuba for decades. And now, as Trump starves that nation, Canadians have the moral obligation to come to Cuba's need.

Hello! In mid-May I'll be doing a video about traffic solutions in Halifax, and one of the points I want to make is that transportation options vary across different parts of the city (and among people). I would *like* to use real-world examples, if any of you are interested in being such.

Warm, windy & wet for St. Patrick's Day across the Maritimes. Heaviest rain southern NB & NS where warnings are in place with local flooding risk. Winds gusting 70-90+ km/h brings risk of outages. Temperatures tumble late Tuesday into Wednesday, with icy conditions likely on Wednesday. #halisky

This is the last one I used. Will be dusting it off again for thunderstorm season. :)
