A good summary of how Nova Scotia politics work. And it's a good explanation of why developers get such favour in HRM. It is why we, the average citizen, are rarely taken into account when politicians make decisions. We suffer. Corporations thrive. #halisky

In NS, the price you pay at the pump depends on where you're filling up. ⛽ There are six price zones. Retail and wholesale prices are set weekly by the Energy Board.
The graphic below shows the current cost breakdown for regular gasoline sold in Zone 1, which includes Halifax and Hants counties. 👇

I know Tim Hortons is not a Canadian company any longer, but I really like this poster in their window. It captures beautiful memories of Canadian Winters especially in the Maritimes with all those colourful houses. Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. #halisky #canada #hockey #timhortons

Our friendly neighborhood white American Red Squirrel at Frog Pond, Halifax, Nova Scotia. There were sunflower seeds on the rock so the squirrel was staying out in the open longer than I have seen it in the past. #halisky #novascotia #canada #nature #photography #squirrel

I strongly agree that it is time to fight for people over profit. Housing is a human right. We've lost sight of that.
In Spryfield, Halifax, 39% of affordable single-person rentals disappeared in just a few years. This is the cost of a housing system built on profit. But with bold, policies, we can ensure every Nova Scotian has a safe home. 🏠✊#HousingIsAHumanRight #PeopleOverProfit open.substack.com/pub/alecstra...

Beautiful afternoon in Frog Pond. There were lots of people out enjoying a beautiful Nov afternoon and lots of birds in the park today. And as I was walking along the sidewalk on Purcell's Cove Rd not far from the park there was a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers.😍 #halisky #birds #nature #novascotia

Car brand BYD's new SUV ad pokes fun at people walking and cycling, comparing them to Horse & Carts.
It joins a long list of car ads that sell a false promise of convenience and aspiration while punching down at sustainable transport modes.
So I made it a bit more realistic...

New ferry boarding procedures start Monday, Nov. 3.
1. Passengers are now asked to enter the waiting area single file. This simple change will help keep everyone safer during boarding.
2. Let staff know if you or someone in your group may need extra assistance in the case of an emergency.
