The Halifax Regional Municipality is making a change to how it shares information and connects with residents on social media. We're phasing out our use of X and replacing it with Bluesky. Details: www.halifax.ca/home/news/ha...

I wonder…with generative A.I. slowly rotting the #internet as we know it, will we get to a point where real-life is more appealing than scrolling?

More time spent at the #Dartmouth Common I think.

Good morning #Dartmouth! I’d like to shine some light on an indie musician called DARGZ. If you’re into contemporary #jazz, #R&B, hiphop, pop, this may be for you.

Recommend starting with track 3, Get it Right ft. Taura Lamb.

The thing about Crumbl is, why would I support an American chain bakery, when there are amazing locally owned bakeries across #Halifax?

Shout out in particular to Le French Fix on Argyle St and Gingerbread Haus on Queen St. Two of my favs.

Good news #dartmouth! The Refound Shop on Thistle St is back open again! #vintage

A big step up from those Willy Wonka style tickets they were proposing at one point. 😂 We’re finally joining the modern world! Now give us more dedicated Bus-Rapid-Transit lanes! #Halifax

There was a news article that HRM was testing these icebreaker attachments out a while back. Wonder how well they worked? Maybe we could get some more? #halifax

A good idea and a good move by Councillor White. #halifax

It’s a pipe dream I know, but I’d love for this to lead to a rethink on #Canada’s major trade relationships, and while we’re at it, maybe we can improve inter-provincial trade too?

Can’t say I’ve ever seen such unity, or such fervor amongst #Canadians as I’m seeing now with the response to Trump’s tariffs.

This and the recent cold-snap has me gravely missing summer. #halifax #weather
Good morning and happy Friday!

Has Refound closed permanently? What’s with the papered windows?

Sorry saga, the MEC one, in which a judge in BC gave the Canadian co-op away to a U.S. private equity outfit … and the saga continues, as could have been predicted. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/province-hou...

I know Halifax needs a lot of things that should take precedence over this (rent control/housing, transit, bike infrastructure, etc), but I'd like to add a public greenhouse to the list, a la Hamilton's Gage Park or Toronto's Allan Gardens.

Bluesky is so much better than Twitter.

That's the post.

Kingston looking very charming. Will have to stop by next time I’m in O-town.
Skating on Thursday evening at historic Market Square in Kingston, Ontario. This is January. This is the cold Canadian winter. We are a winter people. We are Canadian. We are NOT American, & never will be!🇨🇦💪

While Trump is screeching like an ass about annexing Canada, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. That is Canada! #cdnpoli #peipoli

Superb news. A disused office building near a grocery store and other shopping is ideal for conversion to residences. Surprised they took this long.
there was permit request submitted to
renovate this office building into 70 residential units

honestly kind of funny that on balance, trudeau might be the best PM in my lifetime because we've had so few and they've all sucked so bad

reminder: if justin trudeau prorogues parliament it means you get to make proroguies (it's regular perogies, but you make them whenever they prorogue parliament)

I’ll be genuinely so disappointed when Polievre guts the CBC. #cdnpoli
