It often feels as though Fillmore is the Leader of the Opposition and most of council is the actual government. I donāt think Iāve 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 heās disappointed Fillmore didnāt do that.

So few outlets for youth in rural NS. Especially youth who donāt fit in. Their rights are being violated by this legislation. They wonāt get to experience things like music, theatre, arts. This violates their right to a full education. This is actually really dire.

When people actually did the economic analysis, it turned out that for every dollar the NS govāt invested in the arts, it generated two dollars in economic gain. Who tf would cut that? Thatās an economic driver. Thatās a golden fucking goose.

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.
