Announcing Mööber!

Our moose-powered rideshare is an eco-friendly, sustainable alternative to cars. We’re training Nova Scotia’s moose population to carry passengers along rural roads and Halifax streets.

Had one too many wobbly pops? Missed the school bus? Call a Mööber!

Unfortunately the traffic doesn't evaporate once it is off the bridge. So the Province would need to evaluate the knock on impact on congestion throughout the peninsula

The Chronicle Herald @thechronicleherald.bsky.social · 7h

Congestion on Halifax bridges needs more work, while crashes drop with no tolls

Preliminary data shows that the removal of toll plazas on Halifax's bridges has been positive, but there is still work to be done to improve congestion, said Fred Tilley, the province's Minister of Public Works.

The Protecting Nova Scotians Act protects Nova Scotians by protecting the government from Nova Scotians. Win-win. #nspoli

At the new Centre for Menopause Excellence, we employ impartial male doctors so middle-aged women will know if it’s just in their heads or not. We leased a nice, welcoming-looking building too.

We expected the bridge toll removal project to cost $40 million and it’s really like $400 million. So you really have to amplify our bullshit numbers by a factor of ten.

Barb Adams is such a crackerjack that she followed this account for months before realizing it was parody. Of course she’s behind this needless waste of government time fixing a problem that doesn’t exist. -ND

Nova Scotia raised its minimum wage: because nothing says prosperity like a paycheque that still qualifies you for food banks.

"Premier Tim Houston says his view on order-making power has changed since forming government." Yup, that's how it always works. It's interesting how being the government changes one's view of government transparency and accountability. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
