At this point, the Nova Scotia Government’s policy agenda for 2026 reads less like governance and more like a villain origin arc #halisky #nspoli

So can someone explain the actual strategy behind the Nova Scotia budget cuts?

Is it just going on vibes?

Because it feels like it’s just going on vibes #nspoli

Nova Scotia Government on their 2026 budget:

β€œYeah, so bad news, we’re not going to fix housing, but don’t worry…we have bravely taken on the real threats to fiscal stability: community, culture, heritage and education

Also, don’t ask us questions”

Lines Composed on the Nova Scotia Budget

Visit Nova Scotia for rich heritage & cultural…
NS Gov’t: No, we’re cutting all that

Quality education in Nova Scotia affords…
NS Gov’t: Yeah, cutting education too

So sustainability just means survive without support?
NS Gov’t: Exactly

Honestly, I haven’t been this invested in a public showdown since Serena van der Woodsen crashed Blair Waldorf’s Kiss on the Lips party back in 2007

Hey Nova Scotia Government,

More supply because more people are getting evicted isn’t the flex you think it is.

Do something.

Sincerely,
Nova Scotians

I feel like tonight is going to last equally as long as trying to finish this game in Grade 5.

But with fewer floppy disks.

And more drinks.

Same amount of stress though.

My parents are buying a new bed and want to move to the (bigger) guest room in my childhood home and I’ve tried to explain that this will likely change the dynamic of the house, the whole family, and probably, also, the world.

In other news, it appears I may not adapt well to change.

The best part about Dartmouth Crossing is seeing exactly where you want to go but not knowing which combination of roads, lanes and turns can get you there #halisky

Just trying to craft a timeline here.

Is the US in book seven of Harry Potter, Book three of the Hunger Games or the last chapters of the Handmaid’s Tale?

It’s all of them isn’t it?

The best thing about an English degree is the hours you spend perfecting an analysis on a book you are researching from 1534 just to get a β€˜no’ from your professor.

We know. We don’t. We’re sorry too. Come visit. Bring orange juice.

Living in Halifax is great because everyday you get to decide if it’s the healthcare system, the housing crisis, the cost of food, the traffic, public transportation, or the construction that’s causing your stress, and that’s just a fun little game to play #halisky

The best part of the hospital construction on Robie is that somedays you only get to be in the left lane, and other days, only the right lane, and other days, a weird hybrid lane that just ends and that’s just whimsicle and fun for everyone #halisky

Americans downloading the Rednote app by the millions today as a giant F U to their incoming Tik Tok ban is a level of petty I was not prepared for and I am absolutely here for it.

December 27, -7 degrees:

Mom:

Me:
*wearing fuzzy pyjamas, insulated socks, under a heated blanket, drinking tea*
- Absolutely not

Canada: We would very much like to be excluded from this narrative

Also Canada: You’re dressed ridiculously for being in the mountains

Italy and Switzerland: Umm guys…
