Hot take: Convert the Circ into a wide boulevard with centre bus lanes for BRT. This would free up a good chunk of land for development, save NS taxpayers a very good chunk of money, and make Halifax an actual 15-minute city if a full-scale BRT is built.

Normal people: this is terrible Me: cars driving the wrong way on a controlled access highway proves that even engineering isn't a silver bullet for road safety and the only way to make roads safer is to try and reduce the number of people driving weapons/heavy machinery around the city.

EVs do encourage speeding especially those who come from ICE. Fast acceleration and instant torque. It's a great toy.

Now free. Tae Heung “Will” Kim, a doctoral student at Texas A&M University and longtime U.S. permanent resident, Korean American scientist with a green card, is finally out of ICE detention after 3 months. Thank you @ruemcclammyhand.bsky.social for keeping us all informed!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

On Wednesday, there's a public open house for the Highway 102 special planning area. In May, the Houston government designated this area, along with Sandy Lake, as special planning areas. engagehalifax.ca/highway-102-...

Test vehicle launching to ‘the edge of space’ from Nova Scotia next week halifax.citynews.ca/2025/11/14/t... Maritime Launch Services, behind Spaceport Nova Scotia in the Canso area, is partnering with a company from the Netherlands, T-minus Engineering

Today I checked out the newly opened underpass portion of Eglinton West Station (soon to be Cedarvale)! A thread 🧵/1

since REM opened this weekend, this is all i can think about. toronto has been building a smaller, 'lower-order' transit project that costs significantly more and is taking twice as long to complete 🫠

List of Canadian cities I'd want to live in. 1. Vancouver 2. Montreal 3. Quebec 4. Victoria 5. Whistler Cities I had lived in: Toronto, Edmonton, Charlottetown, Kitchener, Halifax.

This is brilliant.

This ex-Torontonian likes Halifax more than Toronto. Toronto feels too grey and soulless without much room to breathe.

China doesn't like cow cats.

Finally! Proper striping for the bike connector from car-free JFK to Overlook

Waterloo Region proved that small metro areas in Canada can build rail transit, if it's designed prudently and governed smartly. What would be even better, though, is seeing someone unseat us as the reigning champ of small urban regions in Canada building light rail. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ah, just where I want to park my bike… up 9 stairs! 🙄

Wing Machine, are they any good?

NJB win?

I dislike the framing of winter as an “excuse”, as if you can wish it away. I see it as an additional *challenge* that is *surmountable*. Winter cities need to (1) design bike infrastructure for snow, (2) care about plowing, and (3) learn how to do a good job of plowing/maintaining the bike lanes.

Can confirm Launghing Whale's Dark Roast makes me poop even faster. Thanks!

Capital Transit of Juneau, AK. The Halifax Transit yellow and blue.

Yutong buses could theoretically be “stopped or rendered inoperable” by the manufacturer. We need Made In Canada buses. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The neighbourhood retail report as amended CARRIES 23-2. Toronto Council votes to permit corner stores in all Old Toronto & East York wards, and expands permission for retail on some (but not all) major streets city-wide.

This is what's missing from driver's licensing system. Hold road tests in the same city, not elsewhere.

Driving takes 15 minutes to travel from North End to downtown. Transit takes 30 minutes. There's something wrong here, right? Especially if your city wants to put at least 23% of its population relying on transit.

I was driving on Bayer's Rd and this granny almost side swiped my car because she couldn't drive within the lane. She didn't seem drunk, just that she's too old to drive. Senior drivers should be tested every single year.

In Korea, you can take your old electronics and batteries to the local electronics & hardware store. Then, the respective city government takes care of the recycling.

Hot take: Halifax needs an underground and elevated automated metro. Then, we'll become a real city people.

Koreans when they move to Canada for a much relaxed pace of life with nature:

Univ & college in HRM should be surrounded by student apartments. I heard there's lots of room in South End!

You can tell the city takes bike lane safety seriously when you meet with someone to talk about a project and they park in the bike lane, blocking a sidewalk... #yegbike

At some point we need a national conversation about why so many Canadian mayor are so bluntly bad.

$3 billion in annual federal transit funding is in trouble, thanks to Carney's Federal Budget cuts. Slashing funding for public services like transit is not a way to build a "Strong Canada". Here's how you can take action right now before MPs vote on the budget ⬇️

If you're serious about frequent headways, sometimes you've just gotta take matters into your own hands

404 made in Canada popcorn isn't found in superstore.

Dear Canada, China is never to be trusted nor befriended. They bully everyone with their barbaric words and actions. Sell oil and gas to them and support them because orange man bad. www.newsweek.com/chinese-dipl...

Dear Halifax, can you afford not to build an active transportation bridge over NWarm?

I'm just gonna say there's quite a few Canadian cities that need to start digging in preparation for the next flooding. Either hurricane caused or spring ice melt season.

The first snow of the season is here and I'm wondering if Haligonians would break the collision records set by Ontarioans (300)

I think churches with revenue of more than $1,000,000 a year should pay a 10% tax, and churches with more than $5,000,000 in annual revenue should pay a 20% tax. You can think I’m wrong about that, but I’m not.

This is a small snow plow for bike lanes. If your city plows roads but leaves bike lanes, your city hates cyclists.

Bayers Lake Community Outpatient Centre shouldn't exist. Move the entire thing to one of the circles where people exist.

I hate rubber boots I hate rubber boots I hate rubber boots

This is the way.

They also say nobody in Canada will ride a bike or use a bike lane in winter. Many liars.

Protected cycle tracks with floating bus stops keep people of all ages safe on bikes whilst also allowing buses to move freely without being delayed by slower cyclists.

Cars might work fine in California or Florida, but they’re not practical here in Canada. We have winter.

And the places for kids. In Korea, there are some children's libraries where various programs take place (Library orientated recreation centre more like, in addition to actual rec centres)
