If we start believing women we may stop dangerous men Morning File by Suzanne Rent @suzannerent.bsky.social

Want to bet that Tim Houston buys one?

Me to senior admin: stupid question Admin: here's why its a stupid question. Me: right. Like we always say, between the two of us we have one brain. You have it today.

When did we forget how rights are won? by @lamoutonnoir.bsky.social

Someone needs to show him Halifax parking signs. lol

On this day in 2005, the Civil Marriage Act received Royal Assent and legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. At the time, every province and territory had legalized it except Alberta, NWT, Nunavut and PEI. Canada was the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage

the part that annoys me in the reporting is that the car is ignored. The protest was peaceful until they tried to drive through people. Houston's staff started the violence, not the protestors....

I appreciate professional soccer players for having physical exteriors as fragile as the egos of men everywhere

In other words they are doing their job

“America isn't the way it is because he's president. He's president because America is the way it is” — David Cochrane CBC Power and Politics

Good way to put in and sadly this is happening internally right now between Alberta and the rest of Canada.

Instead they will publish sanitized articles that make him look and sound sane. Fuck it, air it, unedited, unpolished, no commentary, no hiding, filtering, making him look good. Force people to hear how unhinged and mentally ill he is.

I saw a news article this morning that Houston's latest fuckery of hatred is arbitrarily changing the paperwork rules around immigration without communication or warning. As a result a bunch of immigrants are being kicked out of Canada. Don't read the comments on the article.

Councillor Purdy's district is, to my best ability to estimate, aggressively subsidized by lower income neighbourhoods in the urban core.

You know what doesn't cause apocalyptic skylines and wildfires? Solar panels. Can we stop burning fossil fuels and just start massively investing more in renewables and battery tech, please?

NSP has announced they are starting to charge late fees again. Question, have they fixed anything yet? Resolved any of the issues? Updated their system? Deleted private information they aren't supposed to have? Or has it just been long enough for them to go back to business as usual.

“Verify your age in an accurate but deeply confusing way” when I wanted to know what my friends we up to I went outside and walked down the road to the spot.

Accurate

Listening tour = pay to listen to me

“The media should not be quoting Pierre Poilievre’s lies or disinformation unless immediately calling them out as such, with additional context and clarity. “This isn’t a complex, nuanced issue — it’s Journalism 101.”

I'm sure that yet another news article from the Mayor trashing the rest of council and displaying his ignorance of his position and his inability to work with council is going to help the situation right? Time to spend another $100k on a consultant/therapist to help the mayor interact with council

Damn this article is straight garbage. It argues for mayoral authoritarianism, does not mention the RCMP charges and is factually incorrect about where the city is in its CAO hiring process. Anyways, you should pay for quality local journalism that gets it right at www.grandparade.news

I'll say it again. Insurance companies are going to do more for climate change than governments. They are facing the actual costs and real risks of climate change. Politicians only see it as a theoretical issue that *might* happen in the future. As real costs add up policy will be forced to change

Or most expensive PR campaign, or by owning the media companies

Halifax council, who have "prioitized" putting a bench in that location for 5 years now, and are just waiting on maintenance staff time to be available.... will rush to pay overtime to have it removed with 2 days. (Satire)

Not everyone can afford a bike, they should just buy 3 cars instead. 🙃

Renewables are to energy sovereignty, what drones are to warfare.

You know how in some games you pick the team captains and then they take turns picking the players? Lindsay Graham Sam Neil MItch McConnell

There's a simple, fair and effective means of funding politics, which ensures that voters count and money doesn't. MPs: please stop messing about with proposals for donation caps, and press for a proper, democratic funding system. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

Gonna go ahead and try and live my life in such a way that when I croak, humanity doesn't cry out in relief and jubiliation.

This truly needs to be recognized as a medical miracle. I had no idea someone could live this long after removing their spinal cord.

Anyone else outside swimming through the air?

Are they going to call the water a "tailings pond" so that the government won't regulate it or look at it in any way? 😅

Anyone want to bet that he has a history of domestic violence that authorities have been ignoring?

The more disinformation you believe, the more likely you are to vote Conservative. “80% of the most disinformed Canadians vote Conservative.”

The same Liberal government that's destroying the post office, ostensibly because it's not profitable, is willing to spend billions on a pipeline that will likely never be profitable, to join an existing pipeline that is also not profitable and likely never will be.

CRA has made me pay my taxes twice, despite me proving, and them acknowledging, that they had already cashed the first cheque which paid my taxes in full A 2nd time they acknowledged that I didn't owe anything and made me pay a $500/month back payment anyway 6 or 8 months later they sent it back

This is a very good analysis of the structural choices facing young people trying to navigate late stage capitalism, and how some react, and it’s worth reading. open.substack.com/pub/henryfud...

HRM is notably missing from this list....

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Perhaps no man in the history of our nation has ever spent as much money on making himself appear likeable than Pierre Poilievre

Go sign. Tell the idiots opposed to an official residence for the Prime Minister that the same should apply to their hero.

If the whole planet went to complete solar & wind energy we could stop global warming in 5 years. 5 years,folks. The oil & gas industry would be relegated to machinery only.

I’m not saying a tory govt would be good! Just that we’d have all these Liberals pushing back on the policies instead of twisting themselves into pretzels to justify them, which could actually then stop them! And bc of that clarity we’d see fewer floor crossers…instead we’re sleepwalking into this
