We deserve this too. We’re so used to being told to pull up our bootstraps by people who never bought their own boots for anything that we’ve come to accept that these ideas are too much to want.
Stable rent. Affordable necessities. Free childcare. Free busses. This is the bare minimum that people deserve and people really act like he has outlandish ideas.

This event should be cancelled completely, but shutting down the venue to spectators and making it no longer profitable is good news. Our collective voices make a difference. Speaking out against injustice matters. Free Palestine!
I contacted #Halifax communications and the city WILL NOT be giving the $50,000 to the Davis Cup.
“the event no longer delivers the tourism, economic and other benefits that would have been expected had it proceeded as originally planned.”

Ditto Maggie’s 311 response. HRM depends on resident’s input. Writing to councillors is a good idea only after trying this, and for an issue like this effecting many people, trending the number of responses helps. (This is D9 area now too since the 2024 election.)

Out for a stroll this evening, I saw someone I know with what seemed to be a new e-scooter. Talked to them and they got one to replace their Halifax car commute downtown and back!!!!

Folks are terrified of the NYC subway, think DC is a gang ridden hellscape and have other often irrational fears, but here's the truth, other than disease or an abusive partner with a gun, you're most likely to be killed by a reckless driver, and we barely acknowledge it's a problem.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

I'm a broken record preaching to the choir, but I do think it's worth emphasizing that cyclists (and pedestrians) are afraid drivers will kill them. Drivers are annoyed that bicyclists will slow them down or be rude to them.
