“Throwing more buses into the heap to just have them sit in traffic is counterproductive…” www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

A lot of similar stories happening across Canada with municipal infrastructure

“Throwing more buses into the heap to just have them sit in traffic is counterproductive when what we really need is to get the bus out of the traffic" - Austin. We make transit fail because we prioritize car journeys more.

Pssst. We want to hear from you.

Liberal MP Bruce Fanjoy from the Ottawa-area riding or Carleton is breaking ranks with the Carney government on its Return to Office policy for public servants: “There is little to no evidence that a one-size-fits-all RTO policy will improve productivity or service to Canadians”

Townhall at the Halifax Central Library, 23 February (Monday), starting at 6:30 pm: “Protecting Post-Secondary Education in Nova Scotia.” #nspse #nspoli #cdnpse

Andy: “anything is on the table” Andy: “we need to diversify municipal revenue” Andy when presented with a very reasonable way to diversify municipal revenue by subsidizing car storage on municipal public property just a little bit less: “nooooo I don’t actually wanna do that”

Amsterdam didn’t always look like it does today.

“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.” This should be THE story everyday.

v1.116 is rolling out now! For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

There's a global solar energy revolution happening led by China and it should have been one of the biggest stories of 2025. While the US is committing to a suicide pact with fossil fuels, the rest of the world is leapfrogging into cheap nearly limitless energy. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/c...

We could provide micro transit to the entire unserviced HRM for less than the annual cost of road paving and councillors are like....hmm... Idk guys this is expensive.

Any good dealer knows not to get high on their own supply "In 2025, Norway produced around 106 million cubic metres of oil – around 1.827 million barrels per day – the highest level of production since 2009" www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/58...

It really annoys me that the moral panic over e-bikes obscures the incredible impact they have had for disabled people.

What's your favourite Canada fact? Mine is that the RCMP bombed an oil site in Alberta in 1998 "with the full support of the energy company that owned it" and blamed a farmer for it.

The NL Mummer’s Festival Instagram account appears to have been hacked. Sharing a weird crypto scheme supposedly coming from Elon Musk is quite odd and quite different from their regular content.

Instead of making Halifax Transit any better, let’s just change the schedules to better reflect just how stuck in car traffic they are 🙃

This is why it's helpful to call it "car storage" instead of "parking."

Sometimes I learn of HRM communities I didn’t even know existed by watching these meetings.

Staff have heard, and travel patterns show, that riders are leaving earlier due to Transit's unreliability. Chat is it good for the economy if labour hours are wasted waiting for the bus?

There are some interesting changes in the HRMs general travel patterns. Downtown ain't a job centre anymore. It seems like we're clustering in the out skirts (Bayer's, crossing, burnside) and sprawling further out.

We are scheduling busses slower to accommodate driver volumes.

Laura White with the critical question!

The drivers of big, heavy transport trucks running red lights while pedestrians have a walk signal to cross a big, divided 4-lane, 80km/h “speed limit” highway, sorry I mean, “city street” is a thing that’s totally fine right? I see this every day on Dunbrack.

(The number of politicians like Fillmore who touted pro-active transportation policies in 2020 now pushing car-brained congestion is kinda amazing. That's the dissertation I want to read.)

The Liberal Party of Canada produces bad mayors. PhD dissertation idea for whoever wants it.

Safer Steps Chebucto have a presentation on the schedule today called: Safer Steps, Stronger Communities: Re-imagining safer, better connected communities from Armdale to the Pennants

Halifax pedestrians are so used to facing near death from turning drivers that many of them don’t even flinch anymore www.facebook.com/groups/33150...

The more people that choose to walk, bike and ride public transit to get around cities, the better cities work for everyone, including drivers. EVERYONE. There’s no “war on cars,” just an opportunity for more successful cities. You’re being lied to. It’s time we tell #TheTruthAboutTraffic.

True all over Canada. I constantly see people commenting “not affordable” every time they see a midrise or highrise building going up - and never ever see them making that comment about a 3000+ square foot single family home.

Reading all the comments on fb about the St Pat’s development is hilarious. Do people think that people rent apartments on the peninsula and then just spend rush hour driving around them in circles? “We’ll never be able to get through the Willow Tree intersection again!” lol

With reference to Alberta separatists meeting with U.S. officials, former Liberal federal cabinet minister Stephane Dion said "we know that President Trump … has clearly expressed his view about annexation of territories in order to get the resources of these territories." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

“Quebec City might be Canada’s most successful city” “Among the country’s eleven biggest urban areas, Quebec City boasts the fastest economic growth, the lowest crime rate, lowest unemployment rate and least income inequality. Only Edmonton and Winnipeg have more affordable homes.”

Paging Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

A valuable thread as community crisis response models are piloted in HRM and other parts of NS

The government is giving a loan to a Crown corporation that should just be a public service that we pay for because it provides an essential task that Canadians depend on. We don’t provide loans to the health care system or schools; we just pay for them.

Yikes!! I thought the idea was tust collisions were supposed to go down here when they installed traffic lights? (There are multiple other ways out of the subdivision, Drysdale is just the only exit that is signalized for drivers trying to turn left)

My letter to council regarding the proposed cuts to sidewalk & transit stop clearing implored them to think of the last time this winter that they saw a wheelchair user out & about. Disabled people are erased from the city in general, but especially in winter.

Worst year on record

Stephen Harper pretending to be a moderating voice and the political pundit class buying it is a very effect vomit inducer. This fucker helped Viktor Orban and stirred racist sentiment to keep a teenager in an illegal blacksite, you fucks. Oh yeah, and threatened federal notwithstanding years ago

Good article on the misery that the US is inflicting on everyday people in Cuba. What Trump is doing is just an intensification of six decades of US economic warfare. apnews.com/article/cuba...
