Speaking of artistic license, is that Grand Parade right behind the brewery?

The Halifax Regional Municipality is making a change to how it shares information and connects with residents on social media. We're phasing out our use of X and replacing it with Bluesky. Details: www.halifax.ca/home/news/ha...

Gorgeous fireplace though!

I wonder…with generative A.I. slowly rotting the #internet as we know it, will we get to a point where real-life is more appealing than scrolling?

More time spent at the #Dartmouth Common I think.

Friends & Family, by DARGZ 15 track album

Good morning #Dartmouth! I’d like to shine some light on an indie musician called DARGZ. If you’re into contemporary #jazz, #R&B, hiphop, pop, this may be for you.

Recommend starting with track 3, Get it Right ft. Taura Lamb.

The thing about Crumbl is, why would I support an American chain bakery, when there are amazing locally owned bakeries across #Halifax?

Shout out in particular to Le French Fix on Argyle St and Gingerbread Haus on Queen St. Two of my favs.

Doraku undoubtedly has the best miso soup in HRM. #dartmouth #sushi

Good news #dartmouth! The Refound Shop on Thistle St is back open again! #vintage

A big step up from those Willy Wonka style tickets they were proposing at one point. 😂 We’re finally joining the modern world! Now give us more dedicated Bus-Rapid-Transit lanes! #Halifax

Everyone everywhere all at once. I agree with you on the drains at least.

Halifax invests in new sidewalk icebreaker The Halifax Regional Municipality recently purchased a Blue Gryb rotating icebreaker as a pilot project. The machine is essentially a tractor attachment that uses a roller of spikes to chop ice into m...

Article in question:

Gryb website showing a product page for a rotating icebreaker attachment to be used on the front of plow vehicles. The attachment consists of a motorized roller with serrated teeth.

There was a news article that HRM was testing these icebreaker attachments out a while back. Wonder how well they worked? Maybe we could get some more? #halifax

A good idea and a good move by Councillor White. #halifax

It’s a pipe dream I know, but I’d love for this to lead to a rethink on #Canada’s major trade relationships, and while we’re at it, maybe we can improve inter-provincial trade too?

Can’t say I’ve ever seen such unity, or such fervor amongst #Canadians as I’m seeing now with the response to Trump’s tariffs.

This and the recent cold-snap has me gravely missing summer. #halifax #weather

Shopfront with brown paper covering the windows. Sign reads “The Refound Shop”.

Has Refound closed permanently? What’s with the papered windows?

In Europe they have smaller, more nimble fire trucks to navigate their tighter streets. They adapt the vehicles to the city rather than the city to the vehicles.

My thoughts exactly #Cdnpoli

Sorry saga, the MEC one, in which a judge in BC gave the Canadian co-op away to a U.S. private equity outfit … and the saga continues, as could have been predicted. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/province-hou...

Gage Park Tropical Greenhouse, Hamilton ON.

Allan Gardens, Toronto ON.

I know Halifax needs a lot of things that should take precedence over this (rent control/housing, transit, bike infrastructure, etc), but I'd like to add a public greenhouse to the list, a la Hamilton's Gage Park or Toronto's Allan Gardens.

Bluesky is so much better than Twitter.

That's the post.

Kingston looking very charming. Will have to stop by next time I’m in O-town.

While Trump is screeching like an ass about annexing Canada, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. That is Canada! #cdnpoli #peipoli

Superb news. A disused office building near a grocery store and other shopping is ideal for conversion to residences. Surprised they took this long.

honestly kind of funny that on balance, trudeau might be the best PM in my lifetime because we've had so few and they've all sucked so bad

reminder: if justin trudeau prorogues parliament it means you get to make proroguies (it's regular perogies, but you make them whenever they prorogue parliament)

I’ll be genuinely so disappointed when Polievre guts the CBC. #cdnpoli
