In better news, we are sitting on a patio on a car-free street (suck it, Andy Fillmore), and I am enjoying a lobster BLT with a side of house poutine, which feels unreasonably decadent.

Partner: Andy Fillmore is the worst thing that’s ever happened to Halifax! Me: Amalgamation is the worst thing that’s ever happened to Halifax. Partner: Fine. Amalgamation, then Andy Fillmore, then the Halifax Explosion.

I remember all too well when Andy Fillmore (Halifax MP at the time) biked around the waterfront for this announcement in 2019. How the times have changed. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

I wasn't expecting to drop everything to write this update today. Mayor Fillmore is putting forward a motion that could kill or drastically reduce the Regional Centre Bike Network. It's problematic, reckless, and lacking in evidence. My take here samaustin.ca/the-bike-net...

response from my councillor who will oppose this: "It would be helpful if you and your allies could forward emails supporting bike lanes/multi-use trails to Mayor and Council via the Clerk’s Office at [email protected] today and Monday" please do so.

If you’re a cyclist in Halifax, watch out for this asshole. He drives a black truck with large side mirrors. Yesterday he hopped out of his truck at Almon & Agricola to threaten a woman on a bike. At some point he’s going to threaten the wrong person. Hopefully it’s me. lol.

Another poll, courtesy ‬Abacus Data that shows Alberta separatists are loud, but they are not anywhere close to the majority. Let’s not let this issue distract us from the important Canada-building work we have ahead.
