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!

People complaining about no work? If everyone picked up a shovel we’d have it done in a week!

We’ll send New Brunswick the bill…assuming their fax machine still works.

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/...

We didn’t remove key sections of the transparency law. We just streamlined honesty.

Can’t wait for the next “modern cabin experience” feature: standing-room flights with a complimentary whiff of recycled air. -ND

With the Canada Post workers on strike, we’ve got the best looking private delivery drivers available. Just saying.

If someone did that to me I’d outlaw papier mâché faster than when I mandated schools to sing daily anthems. #bikehfx #halisky

Look who turned up at the HRM Community Ride (formerly the Annual Mayor’s Ride)? Riding on the back of the Bike Mayor’s bike. Unfortunately, as soon as he hit a few bumps in the road at the pump track, he lost his head.

We got off on the wrong foot with the cycling community. Since Dummy Mayor will be at the 12th annual bike ride, be sure tell him how much you appreciate him attending. Be sure to snap a photo shaking his hand! #bikehfx

The Protecting Nova Scotians Act ensures every logging truck’s commute is safe and clear…unlike yours, but hey, logging companies vote with money.

Listen folks, I’ve seen the headlines: “Nova Scotia projects a record deficit.” Everyone’s panicking, clutching pearls, and crying in their oat milk lattes. But let me assure you, everything is totally fine! And if it isn’t, that’s someone else’s fault entirely.

Today I won bull riding at the Nova Scotia Stampede. Stayed on the bull called the Barkhouse Ballbuster for a whole 22 seconds. Then I put him to sleep with a soothing lullaby. Walked off of him like it ain’t no thang.

Undisclosed? A ghost pirate crew has taken up residence on the ferry, insisting that the ship is theirs “by ancient, salt-soaked decree.” They won’t budge until someone dares a duel or pays them in seven barrels of rum (or maybe some Donair wraps). Don’t worry! We are ON IT!
