Those damn bike lanes again! Maybe if we give the mayor more power and punish the entire city for not voting for Tim Houston we’ll never have traffic again!
Screenshot of Google Maps showing hey 102 in Halifax. The outbound lane is red indicating heavy traffic, due to a car accident.

I like to use the app Cyclers for biking directions. More options than Google Maps.

$38 a year for pro or $98 for a lifetime membership.

Meanwhile Trump today:
A Truth Social post by Donald Trump saying: "I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State. They are considering the offer!"

That's different. They are a licensed teacher so the rules change.

A screenshot from the Access Nova Scotia website, with the following text: Passenger Vehicle Drivers Learner’s Licence Phase Operating conditions at this stage include: No passengers, except a supervising driver who is not enrolled in the Graduated Driver Licence system. Zero blood alcohol level for the learning driver. To progress to the next phase the driver must complete the minimum practice period and successfully pass a driving test. The minimum practice period is 12 months. The practice period can be reduced to a minimum of 9 months if the driver completes a recognized driver education or training program. Suspensions will delay graduation to the newly licensed driver stage by a period of time equal to the minimum practice period. Once a road test has been successfully completed, the learner becomes a Newly Licensed driver for a minimum of two years.

Liar.
The image showcases features of a property described on a Zillow webpage. It highlights the Walnut floor plan, which includes an open-concept design with 9-ft smooth ceilings, a spacious kitchen with granite/quartz countertops, custom cabinets, and more. The property also offers privacy with a split-bedroom plan, a master bedroom with a large walk-in closet that connects to the laundry area, as well as LVP and tile flooring, spray foam insulation, and a covered back patio with a fireplace and cable connection. The subdivision has appealing amenities like sidewalks, a lake, and high-speed fiber optic internet.

I did it. Fantastic.
A can of beer labeled "Bishoom Bishoom" from North Brewing Company sits on a countertop beside a glass filled with hazy, amber-colored beer. The glass features printed text that includes phrases such as "Craft Beer Revolution," "Pale Ale," and "AM Brew." The scene highlights a craft beer presentation with branding that may appeal to beer enthusiasts.

Cautiously optomistic myself. He said "since WWII" and that leads me to believe we are talking about huge investments in public owned housing.

Black text on white background, from the linked article. It reads: WHL's accomplishment was huge, says Harris. "To put it in context, Wartime Housing Limited, between 1942 and 1948, built about 46,000 housing units - three times as many as were built under Canada's public housing program from 1949 through 1964."

A group of people are gathered around a gravestone. Grant Gustin is labeled 'Doug Ford' and kneeling in front of it, making a peace sign. The gravestone displays the text '2023-2024' and the fresh dirt 'Pierre Poilievre's Campaign.'

Thoughts?
A pdf screenshot, summarized as: Armco Capital Inc. issued a statement addressing a misleading site plan circulating on social media that falsely claimed a large retailer had selected their property in Middle Sackville for a new store. Armco clarified that no retailer has committed to the property, and significant development depends on securing proper zoning and extending municipal services. Armco has been working on acquiring development rights for over thirteen years, and the process remains ongoing. They emphasized that public consultation should occur through official channels and remain committed to working collaboratively with HRM, area residents, and prospective tenants.

That is NOT a donair.

THIS is a donair.
A donair wrapped in foil is placed on a wooden cutting board. It contains slices of donair meat, diced tomatoes, and onions, topped with donair sauce, wrapped in a pita. A small cup of donair sauce garnished with green herbs is placed next to the sandwich. A blue and white checkered cloth is partially visible in the background.

Halifax Police murdered another man with mental health issues last night. This time in Bedford. This must stop and they must be held accountable.
Halifax Regional Police 7m Man dies in police custody A man has died in police custody, following a call for service in Bedford last night. On February 28, at approximately 10:20 p.m., officers responded to the 70 block Farringdon Way where a 37-year-old man was experiencing a mental health episode. The man became aggressive with police, a taser was deployed and a struggle continued. Police were able to gain control of the man, handcuffed him and Emergency Health Services (EHS) was called. While in police custody, the man's health began showing signs of deterioration. Police began life- saving efforts, including administering naloxone. EHS and Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency continued these efforts upon their arrival. The man was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced deceased. The Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service will be conducting an autopsy to determine cause of death. Police extend sincere condolences to the man's family and loved ones. The incident has been referred to the Serious Incident Response Team. All inquiries in relation to this incident should be directed to SiRT.

This government was elected on a campaign of "FIX HEALTHCARE" and instead are attempting to RIG DEMOCRACY.

www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...
-limit debate in the legislature; - change the workings of the Law Amendments Committee such that it cannot amend laws; - restrict information the public can access through the Freedom of Information Act; - eliminate the independence of the auditor general’s office and withhold the AG’s reports from the public; - override the authority of municipal governments to make decisions about transportation; - remove the community consent requirement for fracking, so that Houston’s government can approve fracking projects no matter what communities affected by them think; - do away with the annual report on emergency department closures, making it harder for the public to understand the state of the health care system.

Woo can't wait for the entire city to flood because Halifax still hasn't cleared the sidewalks or storm drains.

Montreal had a real storm and is already clearer than we are from a little ice.
