Wondering if anyone knows what this means in terms of time left before Bill 200 is finished? What does in CWH mean? Second screenshot is from today's agenda. No idea how to understand this provincial jargon lol

Truly dystopic. "we are witnessing the fullest expression of the most inhumane weapons of the century: Autonomous bombs and missiles. Their “autonomy” refers to fact that humans need not be in the loop in any meaningful way when deciding where to target or whether to launch such weapons."

Houston lied about keeping fixed election dates when it suited him and then passed legislation to give himself a 5 year mandate (instead of 4). He was voted in via the lowest voter turnout in NS history. It’s time his MLAs start crossing the floor, no?

Devastating. Fck you Tim Houston and your whole government.

Nancy Hunter's remarks today at Halifax's Budget Committee, 1/2

2/2

"Israeli military says more than 1,500 Canadians were serving in IOF ranks last year" This is enraging. Canada is listed as one of top ten countries of dual nationals in the IOF (after US, France, Germany) Not only is Canada arming Zionist enemy, Canadians are authorized to commit genocide in Gaza

Organizing against borders can seem utopic, but there are many concrete fights: 1 Mutual aid networks 2 Rapid Response actions 3 Stopping PIC construction & budget fights 4 Ending agreements w/ local enforcement 5 Non cooperation of public institutions (hospitals etc) w/ immigration 6 Status 4 All

I’ve been following these special economic zones for years… We need to pay close attention to them- billionaires are buying up territory and selling citizenship to the highest bidders.

There is only $210 left on this overdue request!!! Please send money if you are able to spare and share with your networks 💌

On February 18th you can go to city hall and tell them what you think of this and more. They should hear to their face, how harmful they are. Their duplicities should be called out. Defund the police.

In addition to these, the city has these cuts up too. To end transit after 10pm is straight up dangerous. No transit on Sundays? Increase taxes on non profits lol what about all the car dealerships?? The detrimental effects on the reduction of snow clearing for people w/ disabilities & the elderly..

2 unhoused community members have died this week while trying to survive outside, unsheltered. Two. In just few days. One in Amherst and one in Halifax.

"It kills my soul every time I enter this building [city hall]," girl, same.

Organizers, get your contacts, emails, and everything else off of Google products TODAY. Yes it is inconvenient, but the convenience is how they get you in the first place. Instead use Cryptpad, Proton, or anything else private and encrypted.

Flash funds needed! 5 days to get this community member $800 to help pay their rent for Feb and phone bill ✨❤️‍🔥 We can keep people housed as we expand our collective care capacities! Please share with your people! Any amount sent adds up fast! E-transfer - [email protected] Memo - 2Sdad

Please email your councillor, the mayor, and clerks halifax and ask them to immediately open up a warming centre with no barriers and open to anyone. a list of emails in the following thread.

Who can plan? And in what ways? People should know that the city of Halifax @hfxgov.bsky.social did not open any warming centres this weekend. We are getting arctic winds, and an incoming snowstorm. It's cold enough out there to kill people experiencing homelessness. 1/4

Since so many people are fangirling over Carney's supposed "historic" speech in Davos, I want to offer an alternative reading. This is not left cynicism, but a sober reading of imperial positioning in this moment. 1) Carney squarely positioned Canada as a middle power.

The Israeli uprooted 10,000 olive trees in al-Mughayyir during a three-day siege of the Palestinian village. The Israeli army said uprooting the trees was meant to "deter" village residents and make them "pay a heavy price." mondoweiss.net/2025/08/isra... #Palestine #Israel

“At this point it's become impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Reuters given its role in justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza. I owe my colleagues in Palestine at least this much, and so much more.” - Valerie Zink

If you take prescription pills, check if they are made by Teva. I just learned that one of my prescriptions is made in occupied Palestine by an izraeli company. You can ask your pharmacist about switching to a different manufacturer! #BoycottTeva share.google/6n5whAIn8P74...

One of many thoughts on these fires. It doesn't have to be this way.

$1568 remaining!! This is a super urgent request from a community member that is due today. $5, $10, $20 goes a long way!

Recognizing the state of Palestine under their conditions, is the new calling for a ceasefire under their conditions. Moved on from the later pretty quickly, because it was always deceitful.

A Palestinian state, with no right of return, disarmed, recognized by the same nations aiding and abetting the genocide of Palestinians and theft of their land, is only a tool of colonization, imperialism, and repression of dissent.

Ultimately, this is murder. The services and care for people who use substances have to be protected and expanded!!! This province is aligning with the national trend to criminalize and disappear substance users into forced 'treatment' or jail or death. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

No Cop City, No Cop World is officially out today :) it was a massive collective effort, not to give a definitive account of a movement that could never be fully captured in a book, but to document tactics tried, lessons learned, & successes & failures. Order supports @workshops4gaza.bsky.social:

Hey :) if you can please consider sending funds and sharing with your networks!!

Hi! Some news––our book on the Stop Cop City movement is coming out in ONE MONTH!! It features organizers, political prisoners, abolitionists, anarchists, neighbors, educators, students, media, art & more. It’d mean the world to me if you share/pre-order! bookshop.org/p/books/no-c...

Always so important to remember that the only people counted are the ones through the health ministry the ustreal repeatedly targets and depleats. Glory to the martyrs. Free Palestine.

The ICJ granted the zionist state 6 month extension to present a defense against South Africa's case. 6 more months to commit genocide with less UN scrutiny. The ICJ has no teeth & doesn't give a fck about Palestinians. International law is here to facilitate western genocides. t.co/OiIryu9rvD

I don't believe this has anything to do with the safety or care for these people, but everything to do w/ the amount of attn & backlash the gov is getting from these kidnapping/human trafficking (deportations) cases & trying to quell mass dissent & outrage. Pls see past this decision. Stay critical.

Second email this month from public health (via HRCE) about measles. Check your vaccination records folks, make sure you and your kids are up to date with your shots

Do you hate Nazis? Are you mad about the nazi rally in Dartmouth last weekend? Come hang with us on Sunday & let them know they aren’t welcome in K’jipuktuk!

Currently reading this haunting and beautifully written book by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social that, through devastating storytelling, illustrates a basic point: “Families are not ‘falling’ into homelessness. They’re being pushed.” Find it here: bookshop.org/p/books/ther...

If city council/planners actually planned for affordability, they’d ban mansions, not apartments. They’d have lot size maximums, not lot size minimums. They’d have higher fees per sq ft of mansion, not apartments. They’d charge the rich in mansions more, not everyone else in apartments.

MetroWorks (provincially funded) filed for bankruptcy less than 3 weeks ago

HRM has no problem with $603,000 for a tank they know is not needed, but $682,000 for justFOOD program passed with a tie. Pathetic to watch them try so hard to undermine the already low food security people have. Happy the justFOOD program is going ahead.

Glory to the martyrs. Thank you for everything, Hossam Shbat & Mohammad Mansour. Every journalist who turned away from Palestine to protect their bottomless ignorance & 'respectability' to a genocidal system are complicit in their murder. Long live the resistance. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸🕊️

lol acab

A Councillor saying “I heard from hundreds of residents that were against this purchase. No one reached out in favour of this purchase,” and then vote to buy the cops their tank anyway gives one a comforting reassurance that Council is pretty much unchanging, regardless who fills the chairs.

There is still time tonight to email the mayor, clerks, & the councillors, tell them not to throw money away on a tank the police have never & will never need. Tell them to find the youth advocate program, justfood act, the additional firefighters + updated PPE, & community mediation pilot program!

The Community Mediation Pilot, Youth Advocate, and JustFOOD programs fill critical gaps in safety, food security, and youth support - urging council to reimagine ‘safety’ by addressing root causes of “crime”, not funding violent punishment. 10/11

Additionally, following repeated requests from Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency for a cancer screening program and criticism from the public upon the initial objection of this request, council has backtracked its decision and unanimously passed a motion to develop this program by Jan. 2026 6/11

If you haven’t yet, please take a moment to sign the ECPJS petition for an immediate moratorium on Police response to Mental health calls. 5/11

@andyfillmorehfx.bsky.social what is wrong with you?

In the past two weeks 5 people from the south riverdale community here in Toronto have overdosed and died. That’s only who we know. Some neighbours, columnists, politicians rallied to close supervised consumption sites & safe supply -our communities not theirs are dying en masse. I feel 💔.
