Tonight: sharp dialogue, passive aggression, and the faint sound of the NS arts budget quietly screaming in the wings 🎭💸 #whosafriadofvirginiawoolf #NovaScotia #halisky

At this point, the Nova Scotia Government’s policy agenda for 2026 reads less like governance and more like a villain origin arc #halisky #nspoli

So can someone explain the actual strategy behind the Nova Scotia budget cuts? Is it just going on vibes? Because it feels like it’s just going on vibes #nspoli

Nova Scotia Government on their 2026 budget: “Yeah, so bad news, we’re not going to fix housing, but don’t worry…we have bravely taken on the real threats to fiscal stability: community, culture, heritage and education Also, don’t ask us questions” #nspoli

Lines Composed on the Nova Scotia Budget Visit Nova Scotia for rich heritage & cultural…
NS Gov’t: No, we’re cutting all that Quality education in Nova Scotia affords…
NS Gov’t: Yeah, cutting education too So sustainability just means survive without support?
NS Gov’t: Exactly

The Nova Scotia Government just out there trying to Blair Witch people into following the rules #nspoli

Honestly, I haven’t been this invested in a public showdown since Serena van der Woodsen crashed Blair Waldorf’s Kiss on the Lips party back in 2007 Xoxo Gossip Girl

Welcome to Halifax - we only drive in squares now

Who the current US Gov’t believes is problematic: Canada, Women, Walmart, Mexico, Bruce Springsteen, China, Harvard, Sesame Street, *All countries*, Apple, Education, Parks, Associated Press, Kennedy Centre, FEMA & Taylor Swift Who the current US Gov’t doesn’t believe is problematic: Donald Trump

Hey Nova Scotia Government, More supply because more people are getting evicted isn’t the flex you think it is. Do something. Sincerely, Nova Scotians #nspoli

I feel like tonight is going to last equally as long as trying to finish this game in Grade 5. But with fewer floppy disks. And more drinks. Same amount of stress though. #canadianelection2025

My parents are buying a new bed and want to move to the (bigger) guest room in my childhood home and I’ve tried to explain that this will likely change the dynamic of the house, the whole family, and probably, also, the world. In other news, it appears I may not adapt well to change.

The best part about Dartmouth Crossing is seeing exactly where you want to go but not knowing which combination of roads, lanes and turns can get you there #halisky

He’s going to use Wite-Out on the parts he doesn’t like, isn’t he?

Just trying to craft a timeline here. Is the US in book seven of Harry Potter, Book three of the Hunger Games or the last chapters of the Handmaid’s Tale? It’s all of them isn’t it?

The best thing about an English degree is the hours you spend perfecting an analysis on a book you are researching from 1534 just to get a ‘no’ from your professor.

We know. We don’t. We’re sorry too. Come visit. Bring orange juice.

Canadians going into February after collectively coming together as a country to address the US tariffs.

Trump Administration: ‘We are going to build houses’ Americans *sign of relief* ‘That is wonderful news - housing is desperately needed for…’ Trump Administration *interrupting*: ‘In Guantanamo Bay’ Americans: …

Well everyone, we made it to what feels like January 89th with only 47 more months and 168 more executive orders to go #uspoli

Can she limit his access to *waves hand aimlessly* … everyone else too? #uspoli

Living in Halifax is great because everyday you get to decide if it’s the healthcare system, the housing crisis, the cost of food, the traffic, public transportation, or the construction that’s causing your stress, and that’s just a fun little game to play #halisky

The best part of the hospital construction on Robie is that somedays you only get to be in the left lane, and other days, only the right lane, and other days, a weird hybrid lane that just ends and that’s just whimsicle and fun for everyone #halisky

Americans downloading the Rednote app by the millions today as a giant F U to their incoming Tik Tok ban is a level of petty I was not prepared for and I am absolutely here for it.

December 27, -7 degrees: Mom: - Do you want to come to the neighbors for a campfire? Me: *wearing fuzzy pyjamas, insulated socks, under a heated blanket, drinking tea* - Absolutely not

Canada: We would very much like to be excluded from this narrative Also Canada: You’re dressed ridiculously for being in the mountains Italy and Switzerland: Umm guys…

So what is everyone’s least favourite holiday dessert and why is it anything with raisins in it?

Every time someone hears ‘Romper, bomper, stomper, boo’

I’ve been searching for the perfect French Onion soup since moving to Halifax 17 years ago…I found it. My holy grail if soup can be found at Chainyard Cider

Hey Nova Scotia Government, When is it exactly that I get to zip across the bridge for free, on my way to the hospital, where I don’t have to pay to park, for my appointment (that I got right away) with my new family doctor? Will it be by Monday? Monday seems good #nspoli

Halifax, but if things made sense. I’ll start: * Access Nova Scotia would move to a place with actual access #halisky

I just saw a dog in the north end wearing a yellow raincoat and he is absolutely more prepared for this weather than I am #halisky

I just watched a girl on Tik Tok make a holiday dress going on ‘vibes’ instead of measurements and patterns and I just think that’s the kind of energy we should all be taking into 2025.

Halifax, hear me out: Uber lite - but it’s just for getting from Lower Water Street to Argyle Street.

At this point…he might as well just appoint the Lannisters, the Freys and the Boltons to everything else and see where the chips fall.

Movies…but they have pop up video bubbles with each new character telling you where you recognize them from.

Hi new followers!

If I wrote a Hallmark Christmas movie set in Halifax, what would need to be included? I’ll start : A whimsical plot line surrounding the two houses on Connaught that decorate as if they are paid ambassadors for Santa. #halisky

This is the kind of meeting that should absolutely not ever be an email.

One jar of Nutella. One spoon. Scoop Nutella onto spoon. Eat. Follow me for more great holiday recipes.

Hey Halifax, I’m coming back to the city today and I’m just wondering which roads, highways, cranes, exits, and bridges are out of commission today because when I left it was all of them #halisky

Would watch this movie. Would nominate for an Academy Award. Would send gift basket after winning.

When he appoints Joffrey Baratheon as secretary of something, we ride, right? RIGHT?

Peak Canadian is knowing every word to the Log Driver’s Waltz but having no idea who our third Prime Minister was.

Bluesky is like a 90s teen drama where the outcast kids start their own prom in an act of rebellion and then eventually everyone attends and I just think we should all dress up and drink spiked punch and somehow we all know the same coordinated dance moves.

But which one of them is promising to replant the Shubenacadia tree? #nspoli

I’m visiting my parents and my mom is trying to convince me to go forage in the forest for greenery for a holiday centrepiece and I don’t have the heart to tell her that after 17 years in the city, I’ve mostly just learned how to forage for a reasonably priced tin of Quality Street chocolates

Hi! I’m new here! Is there proper Blue Sky etiquette I should be aware of? Should I bring snacks?

11:00 pm - me, going to bed at a reasonable hour 3:00 am - also me, googling ‘artists drawing of inside of Oscar the Grouch’s trash can. With pool’
