Here's a reason for us to get out and VOTE locally here in Halifax, because the guy running for the Halifax MP seat for the Conservatives is a former Loblaws Corporate Executive of 11 years, Mark Boudreau.
Please Vote y'all, we don't need a corporate executive managing us.

Today, Halifax Regional Council voted to fund a 24/7 Community Crisis Diversion Pilot Service that will divert crisis calls away from police, priorizing the needs & safety of people in crisis.
This is a big step for our community that has taken several years of advocacy at multiple levels. Yay!

Charlie Angus MP officially warns and advises Canadians against travelling to the United States. masterful gambit mr trump.
Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE.
These are not the actions of a democratic nation.
This is the creep of fascism.
I am calling on Canadians to avoid all travel to the USA.

I'm at whatever it is they call the Law Amendments Committee now, listening to the public speak to the Houston government's various bills. About half the speakers have used the phrase "what's happening south of the border" to describe Houston's actions.

I'm thinking that as part of Canada's resistance to Trump, we should invite US scientists Trump is defunding to come work here, and create a big pot of money for them to do their work. We'd benefit from just the science, but also all the economic benefits of patents, products, etc.
