It’s a dark and cold time in so many ways. Grateful for a little meetup and ride with the #BikeHfx community, who brought everything from homemade cookies and hot chocolate to hot dogs! Thanks to all who made this happen ❤️

Thank you to everyone who made it out this morning — 34 on the ride, and many more at coffee! It’s a real treat to be part of a community that consistently comes together and shows up for each other the way #bikehfx does ♥️ 🚲 ☕️

An intense storm is bringing snow to the Carolinas coast. This storm passes just south of Sable Is overnight then south of NL Monday. Heavy snow & strong winds (outages?) over mostly the Ern half of NS tonight & early Monday. Halifax on the edge (pics); prepare for the worst but hope for the best.

I ❤️ Minneapolis This ride was incredible, especially our interactions with folks at the memorials and with neighbors cheering on from their windows/porches. ICE out, now.

#hfxws report for my bike trip to the library and Local Source: Devonshire: ok/snowy, skipped southern end Barrington Gway: ok, slushy curb cuts Up Wat / Hollis: snowy patches, unusable bike intersection bits Uni: ok except Cohn Almon: ok, some snowy patches Isleville: maybe filter at Young plowed?

Hope to see you there #bikehfx Bring your skates if you want to rip around the oval at 11!

#bikehfx #hfxws morning report- Wyse was rideable, I think it’s been gone over again? But as you get to the bridge intersection it’s pretty slushy as an fyi. The mountain at the intersection is no longer a mountain: I spent a good 5 mins cutting thru it with my shovel; I thought I took a picture..

Protected bike lanes = One Weird Trick to Massively Increase Cycling

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

- Wyse=GARBAGE, sheet of ice in some places, almost wiped twice. Would recc road until it is actioned. I went a strongly worded- I am very disappointed in you- email to 311 and cced Sam Austin so I hope it is actioned this aft - Intersections at bridge are awful, mountainous even (pictures) #hfxws

#HFXws from this morning's walk. Windsor Street Lanes are... not great. Cyclists I saw were generally skipping them and riding in the main lane. They get better the further north you go. The connector path is pristine.

Looks like South Park has a passable line this morning #hfxws

what *if* we paid for infrastructure with area rates

#hfxws South Park street bike lanes finally got a first pass - still largely snow covered with deep spots.

The choice for council: 1) Cut, save taxes at the cost of lives. 2) Tax, save lives at the cost of money.

In this third edition of How Halifax Works, we’re looking at the connection between losing the tolls, downtown congestion, and what’s next for the bridges. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

#HFXws from my short walk. Windsor Street Lanes are clear-ish as far as I can see. Driveways have significant obstructions, though. Allan-Oak Bikeway is clear. Everything has a layer of build up on it, but it's not slippery from my own testing.

Per dwelling unit estimated change to residential tax bills needed to break even on costs by District: D1: +$511 D2: +$1042 D3: +$134 D4: +$854 D5: +$106 D6: +$653 D7: -$1789 D8: -$1158 D9: -$1038 D10: -$38 D11: +$623 D12: -$118 D13: +$494 D14: +$901 D15: +$1251 D16: -$963

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

She's pointing out that the city says it can't afford bike lanes but some councillors wring their hands about increases to residential street parking fees. "We can't afford to keep taking things away from haligonians just to give the illusions of saving a few dollars on the tax bill."

"Never Again" means "never again will we allow fellow human beings to be degraded, dehumanized, displaced and brutalized", not "as long as we don't do a shot-for-shot remake of the Holocaust we're good, we'll just change it up a bit next time"

@samaustind5.bsky.social with the big picture: "Austin responded that if they want to talk about affordability, owning a vehicle is a major expense." If alternate transportation could enable a household to have one less car, it would save them ~$16,000/year.

This exactly — there is nothing else in this city as routinely scrutinized as bike lanes, despite making up a minority of the cost of the city’s transportation network.

wait I’m looking at the report and…an on street bidirectional bikeway costs almost the same as just making the street a local street bikeway??

Some of the #KidicalMassHfx crew will be there with hot chocolate to share. We hope you can join us!

#bikehfx coffeeoutside is back for a mid-winter brew!

#hfxws: the Halifax Shopping Centre grounds are easy to navigate by foot, car, or bike (if you can get there). Parking lots, mall roads, and sidewalks are very well cleared, plowing ongoing. I saw one cyclist heading down Stuart Graham/Leppert around 8:50. But I personally won’t be biking today!

#hfxws: as of 9:00am priority 1 sidewalks such as Mumford Rd and Chebucto Rd haven’t seen a plow. There’s 15+ cm down to walk through. I saw several drivers struggling to make it up Chebucto from the rotary, and getting stuck at the lights at Mumford/MacDonald.

knowing the “why” behind things is pretty key for stuff

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm. every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

#hfxws bell/South Park at Sackville is still not great, passable but tricky to navigate.
