This excellent video explains how investing in electric equipment and renewable energy can make farming more productive and profitable, exactly what the industrial carbon tax incentivizes industry and farmers to do. bsky.app/profile/mark...

Is this the first sign of the impact of the takeover of NS university boards by the PC’s. This piece by the Agri-food Analytics lab at Dalhousie cites the Hub, a Conservative outlet to blame the industrial carbon tax for higher food prices. open.substack.com/pub/agrifood...

Electric Farm Machinery Now Cheaper Than Diesel Equipment Mike Casey is a New Zealand cherry orchardist who electrified every aspect of his farm 5 years ago. He explains how that has grown his profits. Will e-farming work in Canada? #cdnpoli youtu.be/L5pn5d9v2Lw

Republicans, when talking about war and absolutely nothing else.

From Public Square: "Nearly one in five is interested in car-free living." Authors of an academic survey recommend zoning and parking reform, as well as investing in alternative transportation, to enable car-free living. www.cnu.org/publicsquare...

On Public Square: "A European feel in Oklahoma." The project, called Townsend in Edmond, OK, is breaking ground with two live-work units, 18 townhouses, and 13,000 square feet of commercial space on about an acre. www.cnu.org/publicsquare...

Thanks to the @cnunewurbanism.bsky.social board meeting, I was able to check out Trilith, a new town inclusive of a massive film production hub in Fayetteville, GA. The urban pattern is supported by a mix of architectural styles and full network of public spaces, many internal to the block structure

Wow. I guess this generation needs to learn these hard lessons again. I remember. We got a sugar cube with Polio vaccine on it. Nobody complained. Our parents were terrified. You just did it. The current crop of anti vax politicians are thoroughly amoral assholes.

Cuts proposed by Houston are more than just numbers on a budget sheet – they represent real impacts for everyday Nova Scotians. When we cut these programs, we cut opportunities for youth engagement, community connection & sustainable transportation growth. nslegislature.ca/members/prof...

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed. Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

These splint-wood baskets were woven by three generations of African Nova Scotian women, descendants of Black Refugees who brought this style of basketry with them to Nova Scotia. This basket was made by Irene Selena Sparks Drummond (Cherry Brook) NSM 34.191d

Several years from now, a thoughtful scholar will write a book called “Trump’s Willing Executioners” about how a nation of 340 million descended into abject depravity.

Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy. "Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."

If someone in your life talked like this, you would research involuntary commitment

I can’t emphasize enough how imperative it is to continue the student transit passes! Students are the future and future transit users.

I am so sick of the BS from the US government. Environmental groups in the United States and Canada are sounding the alarm about a U.S. government proposal to change a federal regulation introduced in 2008 to protect a critically endangered species of whale. #Canada www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-...

It's 1992, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession. It's 2008, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession. It's 2026, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east...

excellent deep dive into all of the ways that the Trump administration has used the federal budget to keep punishing critics and trying to bend them to his will. FWIW, this is precisely how Viktor Orban crushed the opposition in Hungary 15 years ago. The national budget is a powerful weapon.

Who are your favourite Nova Scotia artists? I love the work of Debra Kuzyk and Ray Mackie.

Would pay to watch a Cannonball Run escapade where teams of tax exiles race through Europe and the Middle East in wacky cars.

Don’t let this government tell you this was just a small group of “professional protestors.” This was massive collective action. Keep going #nspoli

NS cut arts funding by 32% The 2026-27 budget slashes $14M from arts and culture—closing museums, killing or gutting 72 programs, and putting nearly 14,000 culture jobs at risk. Musicians, theatres, festivals—all on the chopping block. Tell your MLA to reverse course halifamous.ca/speak-up

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

'Elon Musk’s X was the epicentre of Canadian conspiracy content, accounting for 70 per cent of likes and the majority of posts....a hub for deepfake pornographic images and misinformation, the platform remains a primary communication tool for Canadian politicians.'

Retired wildlife biologist Bob Bancroft wants his name removed from Nova Scotia Forestry Hall of Fame

"Now, the government has more levers to quickly deny what it considers “special interests” – and support those who are politically aligned – with funding, land-development edicts or appointments to positions." #nspoli www.saltwire.com/cape-breton/...
