HRM has a hard time keeping drivers from not going where they aren't supposed to go. From the Spring Garden Rd. bus/bike only pilot, to the diverter on Allen St. In the name of allowing emergency vehicles through. There are streets they can use and they seem to manage with dead end streets so?
“It’s still not clear about where Canada stands on the fundamental issue of the rule of law, which says aggression is an international crime,” (Lloyd) Axworthy told CTV on Monday. “I think that we should be much clearer and more forthright to say where we stand [on] that.”

“Last year, at Christmastime, Halifax Mayor Andy Fillmore gave councillors copies of a self-help book”
WTF
A left-wing populist is what the NDP needs in the age of obscene wealth inequality.

#NewBudgetNOW Rally Tomorrow (Tuesday) Noon.
PC budget proposal targets the vulnerable + their families, the arts, tourism, Mi'kmaq Treaty Rights, African Nova Scotians, the environment, museums, the Bluenose, the future.
Meanwhile $1M goes to the billionaires' event, Sail GP in Halifax.
Crowd carrying signs in front of the NS legislature. “WRITERS BELONG IN THE SCHOOLS”, “SUPPORT MUSEUMS”, “DEFEND NOVA SCOTIA BOOKS.”
Stack of protest signs on the floor, ready to hand out.
A crowd in front of the NS legislature carrying signs. “WE WON’T BACK DOWN”, “ART IS NOT A LUXURY.”
Group making signs before the protest.
One loud and angry crowd at the Nova Scotia legislature this afternoon protesting the Houston government’s cuts to investment in arts, culture, and heritage. Solidarity!
I’m so grateful for the Halifax Examiner and all the reporters and the excellent reporting.
I don’t know if I would be as informed on local issues without it.
So yeah, the caregivers issue is huge. Great article again.
Love seeing the Halifax arts community show up loud today in protest of the Nova Scotia budget cuts. Hope to see some pressure on Tim Houston before the Wavemakers: Music Futures conference in a couple of weeks.

Thousands attend rally protesting Nova Scotia cuts to arts, tourism - March 4, 2026 #Halifax #NovaScotia #Protest

Canadian publishers, authors, & booksellers are united in calling on the Nova Scotia government to reinstate funding for publishers. A strong publishing sector supports local voices, culture, & the economy. Nova Scotia's stories deserve to be told. See the full media release here: buff.ly/fofkb9Y
Hundreds turned out in Wolfville today to protest the Nova Scotia government's draconian funding cuts to arts, music, books, culture & heritage programs.
Tim Houston - do you no longer care about jobs, rural communities & our quality of life?

International rules based order for thee but not for me.
Who knows how many more thousands of people will be regime changed to death. The lies will continue until the truth improves.
Heated Rivalry author Rachel Reid has joined the chorus of voices protesting the Nova Scotia government’s sweeping cuts to arts funding in its budget last week.
"Don't do this."

Kinda relieved I don’t work in education in Nova Scotia anymore. This will cut education opportunities and jobs for young people in NS. Bad move.
“Reconciliation means taking action and moving beyond the land acknowledgement. Proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with concerned Nova Scotians.”

Saskachewan stays on standard time... year round. We'll never get it all together. LOL
You gotta unplug sometimes. I remember in 1993 I spent 6 months hitchhiking Canada, camping, living on the beach, protesting old growth logging - when I got home to Halifax I went to a movie, Unforgiven, with Clint Eastwood - I walked out 15 minutes in. I had become un-numb.

More than $17M in municipal infrastructure grants cut for N.S. budget
Municipalities raise museum, library concerns with the province

You should be angry that millions are spent to drop bombs on the Middle East when you can't afford to take your child to the dentist.
Healthcare not bombs! #Iran
Mark Carney should visit Spain. In addition to plainly rejecting the war crimes of a lunatic pedophile, they lead Europe in economic growth.

Good one from Mackinnon. Had to steal it as I refuse to repost any US-hedge-fund-owned Postmedia Network papers including the C-H. Subscribe to the @halifaxexaminer.ca Instead - more news and for the people. But great editorial cartoon.
Amid hundreds of cuts to museums, arts organizations and grant programs across the province, Nova Scotia is quietly set to invest $1 million into an AI-powered traffic signal pilot project for the Halifax region.
@hfxgov.bsky.social's financial contribution is unclear.
A quote from retired Nova Scotia wildlife biologist Bob Bancroft:
Mr. Houston listens only to industries, facilitating their wish to make money by degrading the land and its freshwaters. Those who speak for nature and environmental consequences are labelled “the enemy."

Affordable Housing Nova Scotia came to play hardball: this budget prioritizes suburban pavement over the lives of Halifax's poorest.
Really truly outrageous. I did not hear reports - were they sympathetic to the aggressor states? Israel and U.S. ?
@evansolomon.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social
And you folks are saying you can’t do anything about that?
@eleanorolszewski.bsky.social @coreyhogan.ca
Today. "Shoulder to shoulder" at leg, for Justice(esp for the environment & indigenous people)& equity. 12pm Tomorrow- Province House- a rally against the Premier's decision to throttle the arts & culture in N.S. to pay for tax breaks & a deficit caused by his cuts and reckless spending. #nspoli
Who decided we need this instead of arts, culture and education funding, whoever it was should be run out of the province they are fucking complete idiots, really really bad timing
