If we were just going to continue as usual with the F-35 procurement, they'd probably have simply said as much... 🇸🇪🇨🇦✈️

Is Canada finally putting its elbows up and doing things regardless of how the US feels about it? Are the F-35 procurement and Chinese EV tariffs next?

A large portion of Canadian Conservatives are Trump supporters, climate deniers, anti-vaxxers, election deniers, etc. and party leadership is encouraging it. We like to think that our Conservatives aren't as bad as the current American right wing, but the numbers clearly show that they're not.

Such hostile rhetoric may make it politically untenable for Carney to do anything but dump the F-35

We have spent more than a decade uploading our politics and civil society to a cloud owned by oligopolistic tech firms. As the Trump administration moves to take over those companies, it is a direct threat to democracies everywhere. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Of the at least 1,072,545 people in Nova Scotia I am only aware of 1 person who is asking the province to upend municipal democracy in order to give mayors more authority. The rest of us have not asked for this. Democracy is messy, but putting more authority into one man’s hands is not the answer.

When asked in the future: "What did you do during the genocide?" - what will your answer be?

"Infants under eight months and adults 75 years and older will soon have access to free protection against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)." Nova Scotia has expanded RSV vaccine access to infants! 🎉

Why did he have to go and hurt me like that? Ignorance was bliss.

Halifax gave the Davis Cup $50,000 from the marketing levy fund to "support the sustainable development of the tourism industry". We're helping a genocidal state sport-wash their image, now without even the economic benefit.

Just wanted you all to know that the Halifax Tides' mascot is a lady shark named Jawslyn

Lest Carney get credit for walking back this spectacularly stupid invitation, please note that the America right-wing extremist in question blew him off. He wasn't uninvited.

I can't decide which is worse: either our government doesn't understand that these guys are Nazis, or they think it's a good idea to invite Nazis to their cabinet retreat.

The council's code of conduct requires they be honest with us. Under General Conduct, 6 (1): "A Council member must be truthful and forthright and not deceive or knowingly mislead Council, the CAO, staff or the public." (Breaches of conduct should be reported to [email protected])

The number of people needed to produce a barrel of oil has been declining since 2012 -- and no, it isn't Ottawa's fault (it's happening in Texas too). If we want to create jobs in the future, they have to be jobs *of* the future. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/28/o...

It says a lot about Canadian journalism that there's only one small publication doing holistic reporting and analysis on this. I'm glad someone's keeping a record of Canada's complicity, as we approach "One day, everyone will have always been against this."

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

Releasing today - the 2025 regional living wages. Our takeaway this year - too many people are working long hours for incomes that don't cover a conservative estimate of essential household expenses. Report here: www.policyalternatives.ca/.../2025-liv...

Only a few days left to take this questionnaire and write in your own answers to let this Liberal government know that you don't actually want them to be a conservative government.

the CBC was founded as a bulwark against US cultural imperialism, to ensure we had canadian news and canadian culture. there should be a renewed emphasis on that mandate, particularly to stop reporting so much on what happens in the US for eyeballs and ad dollars.

still wild to me that UBI isn’t like the default left of center position

Conservatives don't see homelessness as a problem to be solved, rather they believe people must be deserving of the conditions they find themselves in.

"Researchers were able to learn that while vehicles take up 98 per cent of road space, they only account for 95 per cent of travel." Any estimates for this in Halifax? #Halisky
