I've seen enough, I'm convinced. We should remove a lane of parking and add a bike lane on Dahlia.

MLA Dave Ritcey's office is sending out form letters in response to the museum cuts that demonstrate the gov. doesn't know the history of commemoration, place-making, and identity in Nova Scotia. 🧵

Halifax, we’ll call your “cops run over a cyclist for shoplifting groceries,” and raise you a

Can somebody explain to me why the rule is "if you can't make rent, cut out the streaming apps, lattes, and avocado toasts" but it's never "if you can't afford your workers a living wage, cut out the mega-yachts, rockets, and spaceships."

How about maybe like... At least one barrier?

We have to get behind these youth and build a wall of support. Im so proud of them.

We spent forty-seven seconds photoshopping the social media art for this, but BlueSky cut it off, so here it is in all its fair-to-middling splendor.

Anyone want to turn this into a Renaissance- style painting

I love how most of this is rhythmically sung in straight 8ths, so it would work perfectly well with a pipes and drums band

When I say Bell, you say Road! When I say flex, you say posts! Bell Road flex posts! BELL! ROAD! FLEX! POSTS!!! #BikeHFX *yes, separated infrastructure would be better, but I’ll take posts over badly scraped paint *this post-related post brought to you by ~8” between my elbow & a garbage truck

Someone on an e-scooter was struck by a driver in Cape Breton and the Facebook post the algorithm showed me was just 47 comments in a row blaming the injured victim, all written by people (or bots?) who weren’t there and did not witness the crash.

Here in Nova Scotia those kids & teens will lose their free transit passes, watch libraries close, and have provincial funding towards recreation and active transportation reduced. Stay home and watch grass grow teens because you’re apparently not wanted anywhere online or irl.

"We weren't sure whether any gift we sent would be classified as a foreign import, a domestic transfer, or the opening move in a constitutional negotiation. Money is tight right now anyway. We’re sure you understand."

"We think that building housing is part of the solution. We think net zero is part of the solution. We think a car-light development is part of the solution. We think building a sense of place and community is part of the solution." -- leader of the Squamish nation www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

To accommodate playtime for billionaires, public services will pause daily

The wealthiest one percent are now responsible for more deaths than all geological hazards combined...

“We don’t hate the media enough, and by ‘media’ we mean ‘people who tell the public what we are doing’”

Meanwhile in Halifax, we still don't have buses to popular beaches and a major provincial landmark - Peggy's Cove.

did you guys know they still allowed good news

Were you paying attention when they said we let one guy take a TRILLION dollars from everybody else? Can you think of another reason why maybe some people can’t afford to have kids now

Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

it's really something isn't it? a modest ranch home? burgers on the grill on sunday? maybe drive down to the grand canyon with the kids this summer for a few days? you can't have that. so they can have everything

a worker on the scaffolding turns around and a spotlight finds him. it's lin-manuel miranda! he begins to rap about john f kennedy. we've been had

To be very precise, on top of being a useless conman, he is one of the biggest mass-murders in history, a genocideer on par with any of history's other monsters.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

live your life in such a way that the entire world isn’t waiting to see your accursed name pried off every building

Most societies through history would have long since tied the tech nazi to a tree, taken all his stuff, and shared it out to the rest of the tribe. Our civilization has a remarkable tolerance for letting a very few people hoard obscene amounts of wealth. It doesn’t have to be this way.

I can’t express how obscene it is that someone is a trillionaire. It doesn’t even matter that he’s a Nazi.

Guys who wall around all day telling us how masculinity should be always turn out to be this pathetic.

Do Canadians want to join the European Union? Half of them do, while only 35% oppose such an idea Read it here: www.canadianpolling.com/p/nearly-hal...

We build aggressive vehicles We market them recklessly We celebrate dangerous driving We design and maintain violent street design We prioritize the driver at all costs We shame and blame everyone else our hostile streets are no accident, they are results.

road violence and the decimation of youth mobility are direct results from this normalized and violent car culture. What our kids (and everyone) face on the streets is completely insane.

Michigan Democrats are effectively trying to control which countries Canada can buy cars from.

I can’t decide whether this is normal or incredibly childish.

I will be hanging around Dahlia/ Maple/ Sullivans pond tomorrow counting cars and bikes from 10ish until 12ish tomorrow if anyone wants to stop by and talk about non-existent bike lanes and other things for @grandparade.bsky.social !

The West has never stopped punishing Haitians for being an example of a successful slave revolt.

Still gotta be Anne.

'50 bikes per hour during rush hour' Wait. We can just know things. *goes to city's traffic data* The most recent traffic study on Dahlia was in March of 2025, and showed 26 cars per hour in the busiest hour.

We don't have to be Europe. Our city streets could be like this, but we make the choice to sterilize them for the benefit of the auto industry.

I sometimes have to smile at these clips where a reporter is on location for no good reason. “I have some things to tell you about the politics around this bridge. You can trust me because I have managed to physically locate the bridge in question.”

the slow death of local journalism is you lose any reporters with immunity to local crackpots

Local man records street that does not contain a bike lane. Uses bike volumes to argue against bike lanes. Media covers it for clicks. Incredible. bsky.app/profile/mean...

So what if I can’t bike through the Commons now, once I get around that and on to Windsor I’m oka—

Gautreau is a local crank who peddles conspiracy theories about the HRM secretly diverting water around Sullivan’s pond. That’s their source for this story.

A universitye thinkinge onlye of "student demand" when decidinge which programs to supporte ys lyke a nutritionist givinge up and openinge a pizza and ice creame bar. Academic disciplines matter. A universitye ys a place for the cultivation of knowledge and wysdom across centuryes.
