Coming up this Sunday in Halifax: Avi Lewis for Leader of the NDP!

The existence of school boards in Ontario is threatened! And that's a bad thing...as we know in Nova Scotia. Article by me.

School boards are important! My article reminding ON of this...

Ontario is the next province to put school boards on the chopping block, and it's anti-democratic! progressiveeducationnovascotia.com/2025/09/26/o...

www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/... My letter in the Herald today...but written last week. This week we have the provincial govt. rejecting the Hfx regional plan - voted for by council 13-4 in June and in the works for years! What next? Eliminating council? @nsgov.bsky.social @hfxgov.bsky.social

"Bikes are a miracle pill for older adults, but they won't take it unless they feel safe" - @lloydalter.bsky.social #biketo open.substack.com/pub/lloydalt...

Premiers should not overrule democratically made decisions. Bike lanes are not the real issue here, democracy is. But cyclists will be at more danger here because of this interference. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je3p...

When Tim Houston @nsgov.bsky.social talks about terrible decisions made by Hfx Council, and how the Morris St bike lane will add to traffic congestion in this city, I guess he hasn't driven Robie St recently. Tried to bike up Robie near the Willow tree today -terrifying! Worst bike ride in the city!

This is fantastic! Go chiefs!

Our "progressive" Conservative government! Another good reason not to let any party get a super-majority.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Thank you Danielle!

Removing bike lanes is about personal spite...Ford can't ride a bike, so he hates anyone who can.

Good news for Manitobans. Four years of funding for universal coverage to a range of contraceptives, diabetes, and hormone replacement therapy. Why has the NS government not signed?? #nspoli #medicare #pharmacare www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

Head up Nova Scotia. 🔥✊🏻#nspoli

This is old but relevant...remember when Conservatives started giving names to bills and acts that were actually opposite to what they actually did? Like the "Fair Elections Act" from Harper...

Is T-rump suffering from megalomania? Does he really think he can just buy a country? I think these "jokes" are starting to wear thin...it's going to be a long 4 years. Sorry United States...some of you would be better off joining us up north.

Pierre Poilievre saying that all the Liberal contenders for new leader are only worried about their pensions is ironic...since he's never had a real job other than as MP, he is sitting on a pretty fat pension himself. He never disappoints...couldn't say a gracious word if his life depended on it.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I'm looking ahead to what is "promised" to be the carbon tax election, one of the stupidest premises for an election I can think of. Based on a lie - that the carbon tax is making groceries and everything else more expensive - it also has a catchy slogan "Axe the tax"... 1/2

A solstice cardinal outside my window in Halifax wishes everyone a happy return to the light!

Here's my complaining cyclist post...just got back from biking around downtown Halifax, a privilege when car traffic is hellish. @haligonia.ca @hfxgov.bsky.social how about you stop the traffic guys from putting their redirection signs in the middle of the bike path!

In Washington, D.C., a tax on residents earning more than $250,000 a year is boosting the wages of child care workers. Two years in, it's proving to be a great investment.

It's clear...it's not about evaluating the students, it's about evaluating the teachers. Boo Saskatchewan.

This is where the world is headed if we don't "woke" up.

I accidentally made 2 accounts, one that somehow found an long defunct email which I can't access. So I will attempt to close that account (halimolly) and make this one my only account. So if you are following halimolly, please switch over to this one.

Combine that with a postal strike in Canada, and yay! we can have a non-commercial holiday. Up with unions! Shop local! Make things...have a thoughtful holiday.

Atlantic Canadian media outlets are covering our Contradictions in Care report, which describes struggles faced by social workers in the DCS & provides recommendations to improve the NS welfare system for children & families: policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... #NSpoli #childprotection

"I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises All lies and jest Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest" - The Boxer For some reason, that song is running through my head today.

The PC plan is not working - when the largest emerg department in NS gets flooded - and you spend 10 hours in the mouse infested "rapid assessment unit" for an urgent/but not urgent enough matter - you know it's not working. Kudos to the overworked staff, though. Please vote!
