Did you know? #Canada #NovaScotia The longest waterfront boardwalk in Canada is right here in our little Province of Nova Scotia - the Halifax waterfront boardwalk spans 4.4 km from Pier 21 to Casino Nova Scotia and is one of the world's longest urban boardwalks. novascotia.com/blog/the-per....

This piece is so insightful and so careful. Bravo, Suzanne!

An interesting read that has precious little to do with our prime minister (exactly who is writing headlines these days, anyway?).

Within the past week, I have talked to or heard of three separate gainfully employed middle class households in one or the other of the two big Alberta cities who feel like they need to leave. Within the past week.

Anybody who's interested in the Squish advent calendar this year, it's back, and on sale! (And a Canadian company.)

I’ve never turned my love for Tidal Salt into a gift-giving opportunity, but I can vouch for the fact that their salt is fantastic.

I did a comparable map for the Halifax peninsula out of curiosity

We make changes to #KidicalMassHfx every year based on the feedback we receive. Please let us know how we did in the 2025 season and maybe win a cool prize!

Anybody else have pets who refuse to drink (or even accept as an additive to wet food) Halifax tap water? Even filtered? We’re kind of beside ourselves. 😩

I have to say, I’m deeply impressed by Nova Scotians making this (and several other similar things in the year and a half I’ve been here) happen through that fury. After 28 years in Alberta it’s nice to be somewhere that sticks up for itself.

OMG I have an ACTUAL FAMILY DOCTOR! And--be still my heart--he's eventually going to be at the new "health home" that's opening an eight-minute walk from my hooooooouse!!! (Once it opens)

tomorrow morning looks a bit gross - we’ll see you next week! #hfxbike

It’s Lassy Bun baking time, everyone. 💕

As new vehicle prices continue to rise, and tariffs bring uncertainty, many Canadians are delaying or cancelling their plans to buy a personal vehicle. For some Canadians, the answer to their transportation struggles might be an ebike

One of Partner's degrees is in pharmacy, and while she never worked as a pharmacist for more than just the initial internship/residency, she totally still does this when she's in the US. 😆

The match took place after my preferred bedtime, so I didn’t see what sounded like a wild time, but this is a great summary!

Made @dentremy.bsky.social’s lassy buns today, and they sure hit the spot! Thanks again for the recipe!

Hey Nova Scotia, here’s some good news for a change.

It's remarkable that PressProgress is doing a campaign like this at all, whereas for Rebel Media it's the core of their business model. PressProgress is increasingly important as legacy media decays. Slide 'em a few bucks if you can. #cdnpoli

Don’t miss I Light HFX. The weather is looking warm (by recent standards) but a little damp. But we won’t let that dampen our spirits, we’re Haligonians! 6pm tomorrow (Saturday, Nov 8) at the Dal Quad by the Dal/Kings Bike Centre. Sign waivers at: cyclehalifax.ca/i-light-hfx-... (once per year)

@cyclehalifax.ca are we still on for tomorrow?

Lost a mitt taking one bike to Halifax Cycles yesterday. Retrieved it today taking another bike in. What are the chances? 😄

Perfect night for a fire in the pellet stove!

As you may or may not be aware, Halifax's budget season is kicking off on Nov 19. I'm putting together a preview episode and I want to know if you have any questions about this budget season? Email matt(at)grandparade.news (voice notes are cool too and may be used in the pod)

Leaves grace trees no more. Instead, in wet clumps, they clog The fucking bike lanes. #November #haiku

HOLD. THE. FUCKING. PREMIERS. TO. ACCOUNT.

The median income of most Nova Scotians is $41,300. The average monthly cost of car ownership is $1,370 or $16,440 a year. The average monthly rent in Halifax is $2,095 or $26,340. If you are an average renting, driving Haligonian you make $41,300 and pay $42,780 for housing and transportation.

I’m impressed by all the bike people I know who cycle in all weather, but at heart I’m a fair-weather cyclist (in bad weather I’d actually rather walk). So I’m particularly annoyed that I have a service booked today at Halifax Cycles.

It’s fun to like things. I will die on this hill. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

we're still shipping all over Canada for only $5 and we now have a tugboat to help us spread the word! how do we do it? that's really none of your business

Retroactive Liberal sweep of Nova Scotia.

In many places, these covenants banning multi-unit housing served to perpetuate exclusion and class segregation after racially discriminatory clauses became unenforcable. They continue to keep apartment dwellers out of some of Halifax's most walkable, centrally located neighbourhoods.

1/3🧵: At the Swash Zone #sciart 🐡🌎 On Friday, artist-in-residence Rose collected sounds of the sea’s edge washing up over the sand along south beach. It was breezy, southeasterly gusting to 25 kts, but the swash was gentle & predictable…. #SableIsland #NorthAtlantic #artistinresidence #oceansounds

Okay, I’ve been convinced to pick all my unripe peppers and most of my unripe tomatoes, sigh. (I’ve left some of the puniest tomatoes that will still make good use of the rest of the season should I get a few more days!) It’s been a good first run—I’ve learned so much! Thanks for everyone’s advice.

Why #Canada is seeing an influx of U.S. doctors Dr. Jesse Krikorian recently left Michigan, moved to Manitoba for work, then began seeing patients earlier this month. He is a family physician, and transgender health care, specifically, is a big part of his practice. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

I am actually reading the “Curbing Traffic” book for the first time, but this paragraph feels like a more articulate version of what I say on here every time someone talks about “enforcement” as a solution to traffic woes.

I literally heard/read the term “pump track” for the first time about six months ago, and I have now heard it probably several dozen times

The Blue Jays may not have won the game last night, but they also don’t have to deal with an invite by Trump to the now half-demolished White House & give him the chance to steal the trophy. Who are the real winners now?

This Air Canada pre-flight safety video that combines the idea of doing outdoor things in beautiful Canadian tourist destinations with people doing airplane safety things is years old now, but it never gets any less surreal.

No trick-or-treaters so far. At this point last year we had definitely already had several. 😢

Looks like the rain may stop long enough for the kiddos to get their trick and treating done #NovaScotia

TIL that our house and the bakery making my birthday cake today, both of which are in that no-man’s-land that’s not quite downtown and not quite south end, are both on the NS Power grid that serves downtown, not the one that serves the south end. 🙌🙌🙌

I am not complaining, exactly, but it is disconcertingly warm in our house! I think I don't understand how rain works here yet. 😂

All Cops Are Bike-Thieves

#BikeHFX do these bikes belong to you or someone you know?

I just got a mosquito bite picking tomatoes in my garden on the evening before Halloween. 🤯

This. I won’t watch a minute of baseball but I’ve always said I love the way people love baseball.
