The man was having a mental health crisis. This is not a situation for police. This is a situation for trained crisis intervention social workers and psychologists. People having a mental health crisis need help, not a taser. #defundthepolice #hrp #halifaxpolice

NoNoNoNoNo! Tim Houston is way out of line with nearly all of that legislation he just announced. Looks like all the Con premiers are determined to sink to this level. I wonder if that’s why Dennis King stepped down, seeing it coming and hopefully wanting no part of it? Anyway, if Lohr and slime 1/2

I am begging Nova Scotians to read today’s Halifax Examiner Morning File. “It’s the biggest electoral bait-and-switch con in Nova Scotia’s electoral history. You voted to fix health care, and Houston takes office and burns down Province House.” #nspoli

"The implications for the public are that they will have a harder time than they already do getting any objective sense of what is going on in their government," said NDP’s Claudia Chender. "It appears that Tim Houston wants to have less scrutiny than he already has." #Halifax #HaliSky #nspoli

I think people need to fully understand that there is an orchestrated path being laid out by the right wing and the billionaire class that supports them to gut key portions of society and governance. They have planned out how to collapse American democracy using the courts.

Gitmo was created precisely to evade the structures & protections of U.S. law to torture Muslims. Now, Trump is turning it into a concentration camp for immigrants. Americans are quite capable of torture: what’s going to stop the worst that now run the U.S. from whatever depravity they intend?

Many Canadian provinces have chosen to remove ALL US beer, wine and alcohol from all stores. My province of #NovaScotia is one. Ontario is another. I expect this to go nation-wide. And when #TrumpTariffs end, people here won't return to buying. #BuyCanadian halifax.citynews.ca/2025/02/02/p...

So Halifax mayor Andy Fillmore made a ragebait video and posted it to his social media accounts talking about how he’s so “disappointed in council” for voting “inexplicable” to cancel the Windsor Street Exchange project. Does he even once mention why? Of course not.

Yesterday, municipal staff told Halifax council that a "plurality" of survey respondents wanted bike lane service levels reduced. That's false. A larger proportion (38%) want bike lane service levels maintained. Most (65%) support either increasing or maintaining bike lane service levels. #BikeHfx
