Just looking at the city’s discussions to cut the fast ferry or make it diesel, and to maybe cut the climate action tax. Remember when we as a city declared a climate emergency? Glad we got that fixed.

Spending more time on escalators is proving to be an excellent opportunity to observe close up the weird fits of men’s dress pants. I didn’t choose this life. It chose me.

Pay hundreds out of pocket instead of pennies on property taxes. That’s what these people think affordability means.

Nova Scotia's theme for African Heritage Month resonates during divisive global times www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

Did the Plaid Place already design a Halifax Tartan? Is this the moment in history to be reasserting our Scottish heritage? Is this a plot by the mayor to keep us busy bickering? #halifaxtartan

The world is in crisis. Economic disruption is a fact. No matter who / what party is in power federally, balanced budgets are not going to happen. There is too much out of our control right now. Accepting that deficits are a fact, do you want a govt that favours individuals or corporations?

Hey NATO etc. Anytime now is a good time to call those Treasury Bonds. Will that actually be effective? Probably not. They are just as likely to say amounts owed to “Enemies of the US” are no recognized.

The “Board of Peace” with its unelected lifetime chair sounds more like a scary “world government” (a tyrannical govt) than anything any lefty has ever proposed.

Public service announcement: Denmark is a great place to visit, there will be non-stop flights from Halifax this summer, and its reputation for being expensive is kinda overblown. (For reference: the hotel I stayed at in Copenhagen is currently half the cost of a similar hotel in Charlottetown.)

“Had humanity just frozen in its development, like aborigines when Europeans arrived…” and THAT is when I stopped reading. “It was a different time,“ some might say and I would say to them: yes, it was—1991. Not 1925. Not 1959. To the #DNF pile with you

It’s now officially, the “layering sweaters” portion of the winter.

Today I remembered that Hemingway Corner existed and it feels like unlocking a secret memory box.

Black smoke coming out of Scotiabank Centre / Metro Centre.

How we get around is changing as new options like self-driving rideshares arrive in earnest. Civil engineer Srinivas Peeta is unraveling what that means for communities and how we plan for a more connected transportation future. Hop in: b.gatech.edu/4aE5tYj

Canadians are concerned about … car thefts? There are others named, but that is first and it is a property crime. I do not relish ever having my car stolen, to be sure, but it is not a violent crime in the strictest definition.

Snow squall outside Truro. Doing 60 behind a horse trailer. Now down to 40. Roads are messy out here kids.

#Caturday snugs with the orange beastie ( @lathe-operator.bsky.social )

Does anyone know where I could find out more about Albert Walker, the former deputy mayor who owned the funeral homes and has lots of things named after him?

Really important to note that Billy Downey was the Black entrepreneur who ran the Arrows Club in the 60s and 70s. Teddy Pendergrass played there too. The north end had several cool venues—the Club Unusual was one, run by Bucky Adams for several years.

Some solid life advice here.

Do it for the hungry. Do it for Andy. Do it for the sweeeet haul. 😃

What kind of weird psychosis do you need to have to insist that every single thing you do is the “BEST EVER, FIRST IN HISTORY, EVERYONE IS SAYING SO.”

How come my cortisol (‘stress hormone’ is apparently going up and it is causing my meno-belly to be worse, and yet, I care so much less about so many stupid things that used to cause me stress?

Fonts and Pantone now a part of the political discourse. Graphic designers, OUR DAY HAS COME! Let’s make them eat leading.

‘Calibri is too woke’ is not a turn I saw coming. I look forward to all formal correspondence from the US henceforth being issued in hand-written blackletter as their founders wanted.

Hot take: not all food colouring is toxic or poison. In fact, many are natural, derived from beets or onion skins or beetles.

What would your profession be if you could only have a role with your initials? Like I could be a Counter of Beans, Car Buffer, a Churner of Butter or a Communications Boss (!) What’s yours?

Drop some CARTOONS✍️🖤🎨

What a time to be alive.

Can someone explain why so many 20 & early 30 somethings are out there publishing memoirs? I’m not a memoir reader so maybe these are fascinating… doesn’t memoir require wisdom & reflection after a long life, returning from war or some especially traumatic or unique experience?

#MemberoftheWeek We are pleased to introduce you to #Speaker, and one of our founding board members, @cr8tivecandy.bsky.social, Charlene Boyce, MA! She is perhaps best known as the gal who wrote her MA Thesis about The Misty Moon in #Halifax! www.speakersnovascotia.ca/registry/cha...

Where can one get a manicure that does not use a Dremel?

Dear protestors: using highly polluting large gas and diesel vehicles to make a point is a real choice in this day and age. Who is benefitting from your actions? What other forms might your protests take?

Nothing has quite made me feel so stupid as trying to navigate the Service Canada site. I feel like a dull-witted beast stomping around a tree trying catch its own tail. Primal scream therapy was invented for this.

A report on the CBCtv news just said that Canadians are planning to spend 1% less this Christmas “and that works out to $900 per person” and WHAT THE HELL? How much are you people throwing around out there? Who are you!???

Frozen peas are not as delicious as I remember. In fact they are kind of flavourless. Just me?

Know what my favourite is? When you miss one bus by three seconds and then the notice that the next bus is going on detour arrives right after the bus goes on detour and then you missed the second bus. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Halifax friends: what was the building /barge thing out in the water by Chinatown?
