Okay so I’m not a lawyer but I have a real problem with a lot of this. The car was not moving. People are standing in front of the car. The car starts to drive slowly forward into the protesters and escalates the situation. If the Premier felt endangered…

On the surface it’s just absurdism, but I’ve always thought the Kids in the Hall “never put salt in your eyes” sketch was a deep metaphor for corporate meetings so painfully dull that you’d actually prefer blinding yourself. youtu.be/JbegaT5CDfM

Forty is the new twenty. Not age. Gasoline. It takes around $40 to put 20 litres in the car.

Another NS Department of Education data breach? This is almost a yearly event now. Hiring and retaining talented educators and support staff starts with the expectation their personal information will be properly protected by their employer. That’s the bottom line for any employee in any industry.

Walked Roxy tonight and was called over by three older folks sitting outside their apartment complex. They wanted to have a look at the big Bernese puppy. I’ll be making a point to stop by every night because they’re not allowed to keep dogs there. It doesn’t take much effort to make someone’s day.

Cuts to education sector made ‘without much forethought’ by the NS Conservative Party: states N.S. NDP #NovaScotia halifax.citynews.ca/2026/05/11/c...

They almost have enough people now for a proper game of Bridge.

Landlord is just a fascinatingly ugly elitist word to be using in 2026.

White man goes to the Supreme Court over being told “no”.

A FOIPOP request that I contested about the Nova Scotia Department of Education’s refusal to provide specific summary data about school violence back in 2022 was finally addressed by the Office of the Information Privacy Commissioner today. I closed it immediately. 🧵 1/?

I swore I wouldn’t use BlueSky to talk about work stuff, but this is dead accurate. Security does NOT mean privacy and vice versa. A high chain link fence may be secure to some degree, but it’s not private.

I may have been partially wrong about Becky Druhan. 4 years ago, her Department of Education did very little on the school violence front. I’m starting to think that the secrecy and evasiveness from the department was theirs alone, and MLA Druhan was likely largely in the dark.

The Nova Scotia government streamlined itself down to its most efficiently dangerous form: full blown autocracy.

Everything about this is outrageous. The NS Minister of Ed refuses to properly fund public schools. This isn't just about HRM. "But when asked if the province would commit to new funding to cover any possible gaps for librarians left by Halifax funding changes, Maguire [didn't] answer the question"

This ridiculous budget passed while barring the public from a public building. #nspoli

Way to go Nova Scotia!!

This game is a clinic on bad officiating. #habs

Rally up! He really is trying to break our communities so he can frack, mine, deforest the f out of this place. He’s working fast , so must we!

😡 Write your MLAs and tell them to vote “no” on this budget.

The most transparent thing in the province right now is the glue holding that thing together.

Arts supporters out in full force. #nspoli ❤️❤️‍🔥✊🏻

Apparently the protests are really getting to the provincial government. They’re pushing budget talks til 10pm tonight and blaming it on today’s protest. In other words, it’s working Nova Scotia. Keep going!

No code of conduct alteration will fix the fact that schools are not staffed appropriately, and regional centres for education need to be held to account for repeatedly failing to prevent violence against staff and students.

The NDP aren't going to magically break through outside of HRM just because it would be nice. Or because at this moment many of your friends & like-minded folks are pissed off with Houston. A whole lot of other people still think he's doing all the right things. THOSE are the ones you have to reach

I’ll use my first BlueSky post to demand we immediately return to 15% HST and restore programs eliminated by the Nova Scotia government in their latest budget. This government’s policies are not what people voted for. It’s been a bait and switch all along. #NovaScotia #nspoli
