Has anyone noticed that the cost to park at the infirmary has gone up? Was there for less than an hour on Monday and the cost that was shown before I used the second parking pass was $14.50. Wondering if indigo has increased their rates because they now charge the gov?
Another pedestrian. At what point will this city address pedestrian safety?
Repeated emails to my councillor and he hasn’t responded once.
Cobequid you need to have a better process when registration system is down. I am already 30 min late for an appointment at 9 am….the poor patients coming in for later appointments will be even further behind.
I can
I can
If we put bike lanes on Nova Scotia’s shorelines, maybe Tim Houston will pay attention to coastal protection

Public Service Announcement Update on the status of the municipality’s Regional Plan Monday, Aug. 11, 2025 (Halifax, N.S.) – On Friday, Aug. 8, 2025, the Halifax Regional Municipality received a letter from the Province of Nova Scotia’s Minister of Municipal Affairs in response to the municipality’s submission of the updated Regional Plan. In the letter, the Minister indicated that the Regional Plan, as submitted, could not be accepted by the province and therefore could not be approved. Underway since 2020, the Regional Planning process has incorporated years of extensive public engagement to inform updates to the 2014 Regional Plan – aimed at supporting sustainable growth across our region. On Thursday, June 19, 2025, Regional Council passed a motion to repeal the existing 2014 Regional Municipal Planning Strategy (also known as the Regional Plan) and adopt the proposed 2025 Regional Municipal Planning Strategy with related amendments to other planning documents including the Regional Subdivision By-Law, Secondary Municipal Planning Strategies and Land Use By-Laws. In accordance with the Halifax Regional Municipality Charter, adoption of the Regional Plan and other planning documents is subject to provincial review and approval. Over the past several months, municipal Planning & Development staff have been actively working with provincial staff to address feedback that had been previously received from the province. The decision by the province to not approve any of the proposed amendments was not expected, given the ongoing collaboration with provincial counterparts leading up to and following the submission for approval. Moving forward, this means that the current 2014 Regional Plan, last amended in May 2025, remains in effect, as the new proposed amendments have not been approved by the province. Over the coming weeks, municipal staff will re-engage with the province to determine the next steps on the planning process and ensure the Regional Plan …
In an incredible overreach, the province is rejecting the municipality's Regional Plan. A municipal press release:
Mind-boggling to see this depraved massacre of trapped, starving civilians still being described in this piece as a “war”.
By this standard, the concentration camps at Dachau & Auschwitz were really war zones.

Considering the amount of seats from Atlantic Canada they’re spending a lot of money on an area that generally doesn’t vote cons federally.
How does PostMedia allow this?!?! Doesn’t tell you it’s an ad until the second page.
Poilievre calls foreign aid “waste” and will target all programs, with audits first, wow wtf, he’s evil
Premier Tim Houston thinks Canadians should finance a new pulp mill in Nova Scotia for a multi-billionaire Indonesian family www.halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/p... by @joanbaxter.bsky.social
Two Conservative insiders told @stephenmaher.bsky.social that Poilievre’s team discussed using Conservative candidate Jamil Jivani to send back channel messages to JD Vance requesting Donald Trump “distance himself from Poilievre”
NS health needs better options. Arriving at 230 at Cobequid they are overcapacity - meaning you will not be seen before they close at midnight. The wait time on their website says 2 -3.5hrs….but we all know that the data on that website isn’t accurate.
Americans may not get Myers’ “elbows up” gesture but Canadians and Gordie Howe fans sure do.
Listening to Doug Ford suggesting he would cut the power and energy off to the United States when he won't even cancel a starlink contract is hilarious.

Every inch of democracy we lose is a piece of freedom we will never get back.
If I had to guess for HRM, I would say 40mm total: 10cm snow, 10mm frozen ice, 10 mm freezing rain followed by 10mm rain.
That would be a nightmare to remove... and I hope my guess is wrong. Not liking idea of moving snow and ice in the rain middle of night! Get enough snow? wait & snowblow? TBD
#Halifax's CAO approved the purchase of two armoured F350s for Halifax Regional Police.
Why can't the CAO just say, "let's ditch X for good"?
It costs more to stay on the platform.

Are you worried about Elon Musk using the X platform to interfere in our election?
I need you to contact Elections Canada to keep the pressure on.

Supporting Canadian should also extend to the media we consume.
Postmedia is majority owned by a Republican-connected US hedge fund thanks to legislation the Conservatives pushed through AFTER they lost in 2015. It was a Republican takeover of Canadian media.

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in
Trump's threatened ethnic cleansing of Palestine pushes the world into dangerous new territory.
He is launching a direct attack on international law.
Will Canada stand up to the gangster or be complicit in a crime against humanity?
