Tim Houston suggests that the NDP organized yesterday’s “save the arts” rally outside Province House.
How out of touch with reality do you have do be to think the arts and cultural community can’t organize a protest?

Ah! I see there is a pylon this morning, I was wondering
Tim Houston came to an arts event a few years ago. He told us "I love art! I love artists! I tell my friends the best way to get rich is to buy houses where artists live!"
He laughed. The room was silent. Angry.
He looked around, his smile fading.
So he said it a second time and walked out laughing.
“(Tim) Halman appears to be deflecting, trying to find some way to blame Ottawa for funding a nature agreement designed to help the province protect its land and waters, and misleading the legislature by saying there are no timelines,” reports @joanbaxter.bsky.social
When you really dig down into it the two (not monied interest) sides of this debate are:
I don't understand my and/or the city's budget, and demand lower taxes.
Vs.
I do understand my and/or the city's budget and demand better services and understand I have to pay for it.
And, if we stop progress/reduce safety standards, this number will increase. More people are choosing biking as their transportation (despite attempts by the city to dissuade them) due to its affordability, benefits, and relative ease compared to car congestion.
30+ residents of @hfxgov.bsky.social have been killed or seriously injured on our roads since the current Council was elected (publicly reported cases). We are @visionzerokh.bsky.social & we are calling on our councillors to increase, not cut, road safety budgets 1/2 drive.google.com/file/d/1vQAw...
…Budget Adjustment List. Heck what HRM is planning to spend on bike lanes this coming year is less than the Mayor's total office budget and just look at how much attention that has had! I….
really looking forward to throwing this back at Andy any time we talk about the cost of bike lanes
I’ll tell you what the costs are: more congestion, less affordability, and more serious injuries for cyclists and greater risk for fatalities.
also, Tony, you either or for or against active transportation and safety for vulnerable road users. Don’t continue telling me you are for it and then vote in favour of motions like Purdys to look at costs of delaying bike lanes.
Tax me daddy
What the hell?!
…….
So it didn’t pass ??
Yup, the worst. What a fucking game tho
I’m ill
Are you kidding me with this hockey game right now 🤢
Ah yes, women’s gold medal game, where every 4 years I feel my jugular pulsing out of my neck and get the shakes in the 3rd period BECAUSE ITS ALWAYS A ONE GOAL GAME
SING IT
This is just so ridiculous, but also, it’s likely this person feels confident in saying such a thing to someone biking because of the vitriol council/the mayor has riled up. I don’t know if you would consider emailing this to them Chris but it could be powerful, especially because you just spoke
Instead of writing fearmongering posts for facebook, maybe Austerity Andy could get his multiple comms staff to create materials that actually explain how stuff works.
Or, save some money and just repost Kevin’s work.
Killed it, esp loved calling out Andy
Great job @cgeroux.bsky.social !!!
We are up against this right now in #bikehfx
Honestly, I don’t mind actually biking in it- I hate having to clean my greasy bike after lol
I would love to know how biking without a helmet is dangerous/unsafe to anyone other than the one wearing said helmet
😬 before he started, I wished that in my head and then he looked so sad I felt a little bit bad…
I love it. I always have a close call I can share
I mean they do 😂
