A graphic wishing “Good Luck Emma!” features a smiling athlete’s portrait set against a stylized Nova Scotia flag background, with Nova Scotia NDP and Claudia Chender branding.
Good luck to Emma Archibald from Fall River! She's the only Nova Scotian competing in the Milano Cortina Paralympics this year, and the first Nova Scotian to compete in Para nordic cross-country skiing at the Games. Go, Emma, go!
This would have been a dream for child me
this must be one of the most impactful decisions made in many years to reduce car use where it matters the most.
A 200% increase in transit use by students is phenomenal, strongly disputing the claim that no fare transit is not impactful enough

I don't know about this island but there are some I know with a tiny population and a very expensive looking bridge. This is a cheap place to get subsidised isolated living
the NS dream. Many of my fellow Brits also come here to seek nature and an isolated spot, becoming problematic with the costs of infrastructure, fire risks, car dependency, etc
Let's talk about the cost of collisions. A fender bender isn’t minor. A crash with injuries isn’t rare. A fatal collision costs society ~$8 million. In Canada, road crashes cost ~$36 billion every year, about $99 million every day. Safer street design isn’t expensive, crashes are #VisionZero 1/2

Around noon today at the intersection of Amesbury Gate and Larry Uteck, a pedestrian pressed the button and started crossing the crosswalk. Cars had already stopped, but one white car in the lane heading toward Kearney Lake didn’t stop or even slow down. It just drove right through. It was incredibly dangerous. Even if you didn’t notice the pedestrian light, how could you not see the cars beside you and in the oncoming lane had already stopped? My heart was pounding watching it happen. Thankfully the pedestrian was walking slowly and hadn’t reached that lane yet, or this could have ended very badly. **Just to clarify from my perspective: the pedestrian pressed the button and waited until traffic in both directions had stopped before starting to cross. In my direction, I was the second car because the first car didn’t stop and just drove through. In the opposite direction there are two lanes, and one of those lanes had already stopped. The pedestrian only started crossing after seeing the cars stop. The white car actually only came into view after the pedestrian had already decided it was safe to cross.
Several replies to this post = "You don't just step into oncoming traffic"

I'm so sorry that is a horrific experience. Might be cameras at the intersection, worth reporting to police
@seebo429.bsky.social could join you in a bin
Today something happened on the bus that really made me sad. I was on Bus 8 going to Sackville Terminal. There was one vacant seat and a man was sitting there, so I sat down beside him. After a moment, he said to me, “Don’t you have another seat?” I just smiled and didn’t say anything. He repeated it again, and I ignored it. Then he said, “Move out from here.” It made me feel really uncomfortable and hurt. I don’t understand why someone would react like that when all I did was sit in an empty seat on a public bus. We live in a diverse society, and everyone deserves to feel respected and welcome. Sadly, moments like this remind me that racism and prejudice still exist in some people’s minds. I just hope that one day people will learn to treat others with kindness and respect, no matter who they are. Just sharing this because it affected me today.
Language matters. @hfxgov.bsky.social has a plan of 'towards zero' deaths on our roads. But behind every statistic is a person, so who lives & who dies in that scenario? Who would you be willing to sacrifice? #RoadSafety #VisionZero youtu.be/GAZ7sI-LDvo?...
We really need to start with an ambitious and detailed strategy.
"“I want to stop killing people on our streets and so I would rather do a more thoughtful plan than accelerate something we don’t have the capacity to do at the moment” - Cleary.
Our vague outline plan with an unambitious goal needs a VZ overhaul

Yeah, cool, so a short 🧵 about Halifax's finances.
Right now, after 14 or so year of taxes Halifax is at the precipice of a debt crisis which has the genuine potential to be destabilizing to our government. Most likely reforms instead of revolution but destabilizing none the less.
Why now?
/1
wow. There should be a full audit and review of taxes paid and by who, also costs. Some resulting decisions could avoid this last minute budget crunch
lol no crosswalk tho
Given our existing road safety strategy doesn't have a goal to achieve Vision Zero, that's a pretty huge clue regarding its impact.
