This is about a government that consistently works on behalf of industry interests, and Nova Scotians pay the price.

This is only half of the story. While people are banned from the forest, Houston's government is permitting the forestry industry to carry on business as usual (esp. on private land) and conducting activities that have immediate risk and which continue to make NS forests more susceptible to fire!

Sign indicating the landowner has received approval from the Government of Nova Scotia to spray glyphosate-based products between August 24-Sept 30 2025.

Nova Scotia is currently highly vulnerable to forest fire. Citizens face fines of $25K for simply walking through the woods.

Yet, NS is still permitting industry activity, including aerial glyphosate spraying. Not only is this a massive double standard it is incredibly risky & short-sighted!

The Government of Nova Scotia needs to be applying same rules to industry as it does to Nova Scotians. In particular there needs to be a moratorium on glyphosate spraying our forests! Not only does this activity pose a risk, but it in long-term it increases the susceptibility of forest fires!!!!

It appears that glyphosate spraying approvals will continue as planned!

Spraying involves activity from people & vehicles, and a huge amount of helicopter fuel! While the glyphosate itself makes forests far more vulnerable to forest fires!

A moratorium of glyphosate spraying is needed for 2025!

Forestry activity on private land is able to continue throughout this crisis.

Citizens cannot walk through their own trails but Minister Rushton & the NS Government are allowing all sorts of machinery to be operating in the woods.

You can see this pattern even within Montreal. The insane NIMBYism and fierce opposition to basic urban improvements frequently have me cursing anglos here in my traditionally anglo neighbourhood of Montreal. It is no surprise we're behind other (more francophone) boroughs.

The squeezing out of children from public space didn’t just happen - it reflects choices we’ve made, as a society, over the past 100 years to prioritise traffic, to stigmatise children’s and young people’s outdoor play, to erode domestic economic security, to commercialise play etc etc etc.

Elon Musk tweet: We spent the wekend feeding USAID

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

I love this park! It's so underrated. I used to go all the time with my dog when I lived in the Pointe.

They should absolutely be illegal! We should not tolerate these pointless tanks on our streets. They make our communities unsafe.

Here in Nova Scotia, we are almost giving away pure fresh water to companies selling plastic, with that almost free water inside. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/environment/...

Traffic danger’s potential impact on children’s accessibility Children are often overlooked in transportation decision-making processes, which typically prioritize adult needs and capacities. Adult-exclusive mode…

Asia Pulp and Paper has a notorious track record.
The Liberal government ignored all the warning signs that APP was making a play for our forests through Paper Excellence.
Now the mask has come off and they control 22 mil hectares of Canadian forests.

There's a lot of troubling elements to the sperm market, but the marketing of this look-a-like makes me laugh. With Kaos and now Wicked coming out, I wonder if they'll add an option for Jeff Goldblum (Older). 🤔

"Life finds a way," and we're not talking about dinosaurs this time, Dr. Ian Malcom.

Apparently, when searching for a sperm donor, there's an option to screen for Jeff Goldblum (Young) look-a-likes.

Admittedly, in my head "cyclists" are serious people in head to toe lycra, the rest of us are just folks who like to ride our bikes! And I say this as someone who has done a lot of international bike packing (including with a dog).

Sending quality content is an underrated quality in dating and relationships!

I was also super fascinated by this history that explains so much! I'm curious about how this is going to evolve in light of the current focus on fertility generally and pro-natalism among certain "bro" corners of the culture.

Grateful to the organizers, panelists, keynote speakers, and participants for two thought-provoking days exploring the health, legal, and issues concerning governing reproduction.

Ford government to ban lawsuits against province if cyclists are hurt or killed on streets where bike lanes were removed Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria tells cyclists: for your own safety, stay off Bloor, Yonge and University when bike lanes are removed.

"Ford government to ban lawsuits against province if cyclists are hurt or killed on streets where bike lanes are removed"

This is genuinely insane.
