I’ve never even heard this guy mention a number and I could have told you this fact about him years ago.

Seeing that no press freedom orgs have rushed to defend and help @rachelgilmore.bsky.social makes me ask, for the millionth time, what do CJFE, PEN, etc even do? Why exist at all when you do fuck all to fight censorship and intimidation?

clinton's plan to beat trump was to elevate him above the rest of the republican field and then coast to an easy victory. i don't think she was right about that

There should be no interruption in the pedestrianization crossing Sackville. The sections of Sackville from Grafton to Argyle and Argyle to Barrington could become accessible parking priority, accessible drop-off, and delivery vehicles.

People should not be concerned, says the people giving our health records to AI run by Larry Ellison (oracle)

Did the NDP also organize the “we are treaty people” rally Tuesday? The booing of the Premier at the African Nova Scotian Heritage gala? How partisan do you have to be, how impoverished is your worldview, to believe something that patently ridiculous?

Every election it's like we forget what Conservatives do. They cut taxes to the rich, and cut funding to services and programs the rich don't use. Every damn time. It's literally why the Conservative party exists. We're like Charlie Brown thinking Lucy's not going to pull the ball out *this* time.

New meme format just dropped

Starting to look like this was more of a promise than an observation from Andy Fillmore. If he keeps trying to cut transit and bike lanes, people really will have no choice but to drive.

This website is so perfect. Remember when most of the internet was like this? www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ind...

9 people who don’t understand how toll cameras work. Classic reddit.

This might be a bit crude, but it would be cool to have a “cuts calculator” to help people visualize what sort of expenses they’ll have vs, say, bridge toll/tax savings. I think most people are extremely ignorant of how these government decisions actually affect them.

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue. I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe. They also didn’t pay cover 🖕

But they cut funding from DASC. They cut funding from disabled adult day programs.

This booing is fucking delicious.

Hmmmm let me check the replies…

“In the first nine months of the year [225], Killam has made more than $53 million in net operating income from its Halifax apartments. That's the revenues made after subtracting the expenses of operating a building” But cry us a river about property taxes, Killam.

Autolycus 🥺

I had this marketing concept for rural NS today, where we just go poster communities with simple messaging like "Houston shut your museum and took jobs away from your kids" Or, like "Make city folks pay bridge tolls" Just to see if we could get on the same page provincially that Houston is a dick.

I’m really impressed with all the HaliSky folks who’ve come together to advocate for fiscal sustainability in Halifax. Unlike the astroturf landlord group with their clickbait facebook survey, we now have a website with facts & tools for folks to contact council. Send those emails! #TaxMeDaddy

Eliminate daylight savings and move to the 13 month 28 day calendar.

top of the Gorn to you. ☕️

"...an urgent referral for an ultrasound was lost in the One Person One Record (OPOR) system that launched in December at the IWK Health Centre." This NS gov. makes decisions and fails to consider all of the potential implications and serious harms. It's devastating.

How do I know Carney supports Trump and Netanyahu's actions in Iran? BECAUSE HE FUCKING SAID HE DOES YOU FUCKING DOLTS

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?

New paper is out tomorrow at Alantic News and @kingsbookstore.bsky.social! On the front @katynotie.bsky.social has a history of @hfxgov.bsky.social's first try at ending the violence of autoists in 1931. On the back: how council cooked their books & slowed busses both by @landofsticks.bsky.social

1/ The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety.

I’m still waiting for the “principled” part of the “principled and pragmatic approach” Carney talked about in Davos to kick in.

Right-wingers are a trip, man.

The (unverified) allegation in the Epstein files that Trump killed a girl looks a lot more credible after he kills 40 girls.

Spineless warcuck says what?

Limiting free transit to high school students in Halifax that live more than 2.4km away from their school would look something like this. Junior high would basically be red across the board. This would gut >80% of the program.

Anyone in the area have thoughts? There’s so much AT potential in this part of the city.

So thank your lucky stars you got protection. Walk the line and never mind the cost. don't wonder who them lawmen was protectin', when they nailed the savior to the cross. www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/trumps-bor...

Hey @novascotiandp.bsky.social here's free advice, run that clip, uninterrupted, on TV and radio.

Is this the reason the Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage minister didn’t even know what was cut? Were the decisions about what to cut made by an outside firm with no firsthand knowledge of Nova Scotia?

When Feed Nova Scotia is speaking up to say this NS provincial budget will “strip away community services and leave those living in poverty further behind”, someone sure as hell better be listening. Every Nova Scotian who is living with food insecurity represents a political failure.

The student bus passes offer GR 7-12 kids independence and shapes their lifelong transportation habits. ❤️🚍 NS gov plans to withdraw financial support ($1.2M) for this program in the next fiscal year. You can contact the education minister & premier with your thoughts.

309 million in grants cut, and the 1% HST reduction has cost the gov ~265 million. EVERYTHING SUCKS

I want every single reporter, every pundit, every advocate, every EVERYONE to point out the cost of the bridge toll removal and 1% HST cut. Every time someone asks you about the budget. Every time a politician has a microphone in their face. In the Legislature.

A whole $8M going to Cuba, the day after Canada upped its 4-year contribution to Ukraine to $25B.

I think probably the one misconception that bothers me about bike lanes is that people assume they are for those who bike...when really they are for those who are too scared to bike.

They had enough room in the budget to get rid of bridge and highway tolls but can’t afford bus passes for kids?

I’m going to fight someone istfg

Never choose a home with a fire hydrant 6 feet from your driveway. You won’t notice an issue during low-snow winters, but it will easily triple your shovelling time as you have to walk every scoop all the way up your driveway because your bank is over 6 feet high the entire length.
