A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

Eliminating student positions in parks failed.

Whoever made the paper mache head with bozo on it, please know I want to buy you a beer. This made my day. Lol. #nspoli

His smug ass deserves this.

Keep booing to the polls #nspoli

Amazing turnout for the Arts, Culture & Heritage Rally in Halifax today! The NS Choral Federation wrote a new rendition of "Farewell to Nova Scotia" for the crowd to sing along with

It was so heartening to join the protest at Province House and see how big and diverse the crowd was. I hate that we have to do it, but I loved to see how many people care about our province.

The view from inside Province House looking out on the Granville Street side.

Upset the arts people and the theatre kids you're going to get good signs, but also spoken word poetry, angry songs, and probably interpretive dance.

It passed. Daddy is going to tax us to provide us more reliable buses.

She says lots of people spoke to them about how they don’t want to see services, especially transit services reduced, and if anything they’re willing to pay more to see those services improved

(Tax me, daddy = success)

Fillmore, Hartling, Hendsbee, Mancini, Purdy, and Young voted to kill and maim more people on HRM streets.

Council is back for the continuation of budget meeting and Councillor Austin is starting us off with the proposed increase to the road safety budget

He says so far they’re failing. “We’re going in the wrong direction we’re hurting and killing and maiming more people on our roads than we should be”

Halifax’s micro-mobility pilot scooting into 2026 with a focus on better parking Spring is just around the corner and with it comes the return of e-bikes and e-scooters, the fruits of HRM’s zippy micro-mobility pilot.

New: @hfxgov.bsky.social's zippy micro-mobility pilot will be back on the road in about a month, with hundreds of e-scooters and e-bikes navigating HRM.

122,557 trips were taken in 2025.

My latest for @thechronicleherald.bsky.social.

You want embarrassing? The story of the current N.S. Art’s cuts as they relate to a major internationally growing cash cow is being featured in the newspaper whose primary audience is CEOs, executive VPs and decision makers.

This is embarrassing on a scale the the proponents did not predict.

Letters that spell out Tim Ousthim hangs on a black iron fence on a city street that is filled with protesters.

A pic from the Shoulder to Shoulder rally at Province House in Halifax. There was an excellent turnout! #NovaScotia

Hendsbee doesn’t like it because some parts of his district have shitty internet.

WOAH, he just officially announced that he’s never running in an election again!!!

(then backed it up a little with “never say never.”)

So we have confirmed that Mayor Andy Fillmore was not paying attention to the better part of the public participation process this morning.

I hope those were some sick Facebook reels, my guy.
What a fucking embarassment.

If you're not going to do the job, get out of the chair.

He says there are folks that still need this, and all the burden is being shifted onto the libraries, especially those in the regional centre.

Instead of cutting the drop in centre funding he’d rather repurpose that money to still help those people.

He calls it “ inherently wrong”

Let the NS Legislature not know a day of peace as long as this session lasts.

56% of residents want HRM to increase food supports (from the 2024 residents survey)

Just Food is part of that

Just Food Halifax were able to find a new home for Common Roots when Metroworks went bankrupt.

Over 100 people were hit while riding their bikes in 2025.

“We need to move beyond the ideological debates and stick to the evidence. “

“Kicking the real costs of the city down the road instead of reckoning with them now helps no one”

The closest library to her home has been closed for a year, why did they raid the library reserve?

Thank you!

“Tax the hell out of me”

“I want to stay, but why would I if the city cannot love me back enough to provide services. Let me help my neighbours and look after the place that I call him by having my tax dollars help the people who need it most.”

“Make no mistake, if you choose to go ahead with these cuts, you will actively contribute to driving young people out of this province”

We are back.

Sydney Haynes is up next. She’s speaking about community services which she says are not nice to haves. Relates it back to when they raised the library reserve last year.

“communications coming from the mayor’s office are often designed to mislead the public. Communications paid for with our tax dollars”

This is fire!

“In the first nine months of the year [225], Killam has made more than $53 million in net operating income from its Halifax apartments. That's the revenues made after subtracting the expenses of operating a building”

But cry us a river about property taxes, Killam.

Affordable Housing Nova Scotia came to play hardball: this budget prioritizes suburban pavement over the lives of Halifax's poorest.
