Getting to your appointment at the Bayers Lake outpatient clinic requires a bit of playing hopscotch. Hop, skip and jump around the goose poop hoping your foot doesn't land in it. I love birds but Canada Geese don't have the best bathroom etiquette. #halisky #Halifax #novascotia #canadagoose #birds

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

The cost of bike infrastructure has been debated by Halifax Council, but when lives are being lost on our roads, @sflkirk.bsky.social wonders about that cost. “There’s a narrative around, ‘Well, we can’t afford those things,’ but can we afford to kill people all the time on our roads?”

Austerity is not about efficiency or fiscal responsibility. The books can just as easily be balanced by taxing the rich. Austerity is a power grab for private sector elites. It is a move to increase the profits of oligarchs at the expese of workers and communities. Its both immoral & bad economics.

Tim Bousquet captures the destruction well:
Text in image: 

But that’s not all. Together with gutting government itself, yesterday we got details of the Houston government’s defunding of a broad range of universities, civil service groups, and arts programs.

We published the entire list of cuts here.

These are the groups that make a society worthwhile. They provide needed supports for people facing crises and need. They advance science and lead us to better understand ourselves. They keep us healthy and intellectually active. They help us express our culture and have fun.

The creation and building of these groups was 50 years in the making. They’ve helped Nova Scotia define itself, brought us together.
