Big turnout for Scritchy the Raccone's memorial service at the Harvard/Allan diverter this afternoon. @katynotie.bsky.social delivered a moving eulogy before mourners observed a moment of silence. #BikeHfx

legend has it he's still out there diverting traffic to this very day....

All are welcome to join to honour the memory of Scritchy Raccone, our fallen hero of the #PylonWars. A small service will be held at the intersection of Harvard and Allan Streets in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Saturday, April twenty second 18th at 2:00 PM.

Scritchy has returned, with helpers! #BikeHfx #PylonWars

Well, it's nice that it's open again, but the restrictions are ridiculous. No drawing! No writing! No BLM shirts! They're terrified of public expression, and they hate what artists like Sara Hartland-Rowe can illuminate:

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

FRIDAY. NOON. PROVINCE HOUSE. ALL HANDS ON DECK: WE WON'T STOP SINGING! We've been thousands strong before. Can we grow even more, and surround the whole building with song?

March 24 around 11:40pm update — “Request for a recorded vote. I will now recognize the clerk to conduct the vote.” It’s okay to change your mind … You can join us, join us anytime. “Please clear the gallery.” … proceedings forced into adjournment until tomorrow.

A funny thing to do would be adding a second sign saying "No Putting Down Concrete Barriers" with maybe some excerpts from the 2024 provincial and municipal removal orders

POV: You're a Nova Scotian and you can't make it out to rallies, can't make phone calls, etc. But you still want to stick it to Tim Houston because he's a trash person with trash policies. Find your MLA + send emails. These budget cuts are not the way forward. nslegislature.ca/members/prof...

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!

We're not even remotely done holding this government to account. Back at it on Tuesday! #nspoli #halisky

felt pretty good about my sign for the arts and culture protest yesterday! don't mess with the 'eart of Nova Scotia!

get the puppets we’re going back

Call your MLAs and tell them to tell him to eat shit and that they should do their goddamn jobs if they plan to have any future in politics or even just walking around their communities in peace.

It was so heartening to join the protest at Province House and see how big and diverse the crowd was. I hate that we have to do it, but I loved to see how many people care about our province.

At tonight's African Nova Scotian Heritage Month Gala at the Halifax Convention Centre Tim Houston was LOUDLY and justly BOOOOED. 🎥: @seblabelle.bsky.social #Halifax #HaliSky #NovaScotia

Fun fact: bridge toll removal and 1% HST reduction cost us appx $300 million. All of the devastating cuts in the current budget? $300 million. Is your 1% HST cut worth the loss of tourism, arts & culture, educational quality and wildlife conservation in NS?

so clearly Dave Ritcey (the minister overseeing the obliteration of our arts and culture) is not much of a "numbers guy". Perhaps we can still reach his heart through the power of images?

Was that Andy at the #HFXBike event? Couldn’t be

Two mayors at Halifax's first annual deputy mayor's bike ride

Look who turned up at the HRM Community Ride (formerly the Annual Mayor’s Ride)? Riding on the back of the Bike Mayor’s bike. Unfortunately, as soon as he hit a few bumps in the road at the pump track, he lost his head. #bikehfx #halisky

I’m at Graham Grove Park in #Dartmouth for Deputy Mayor Tony Mancini’s #Bike Ride. Mayor Andy Fillmore (sort of) made an appearance. #Halifax

We got off on the wrong foot with the cycling community. Since Dummy Mayor will be at the 12th annual bike ride, be sure tell him how much you appreciate him attending. Be sure to snap a photo shaking his hand! #bikehfx

The Annual Mayor’s bike ride is missing the mayor! …Or IS IT?

One dummy backed out. The other? #bikehfx

Tim Houston and Andy Fillmore are threatening to permanently dismantle Halifax's municipal government if they don't get their way in crushing a downtown bike lane. A transparent excuse to consolidate power, this is undemocratic and unacceptable: today's the day to tell them hands off!

Hey Halifax! Natal Day is a great opportunity to show the mayor how you feel about the dismantling of our municipal government. Bring a sign to the parade! We voted in a council. Say no to Fillmore's strong mayor power-grab; let's keep Halifax democratic! #halisky #bikehfx #HandsOffHalifax

Absolutely shameful pandering to the far-right. Look, I love Canada but no one is trying to nuke the place. This is just shoveling money we could be using for social services into the furnace of Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Palantir.

MASSIVE WIN! @acorncanada.bsky.social members have forced banks to cap NSF fees at $10 (down from $48)! This victory will save low/moderate income people $5.1 BILLION over 10 years. Changes take effect March 2026, but they're pushing banks to adopt early. People power works! ✊
