I do think its kind of undercovered how big the wind energy expansion is in Nova Scotia I think we have something like 2.8 GWs, and we're expecting to break ground on 1.2 GWs of onshore (some fraction of that in practice) by 2028 and calls for bids on leases up to 5 GWs starting this year

I think this is a nice way for #BikeHFx to come together with people from the communities that Dr. Nouman Ali has been involved with to honour his memory.

In lieu of a Critical Mass ride, please join a memorial ride to remember Dr. Nouman Ali. Community members have planned a ride for August 9, at 1:00, in his honour. Our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew him.

This is outrageous and this driver needs to be held accountable. Please share (this post and) anything you know with police. This is the bike path they made a u-turn on (the ped path is on the south side) & the assault of the person on a bike took place on the roadway, where people on bikes cross.

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?”

Halifax cyclist's death points to a larger city-wide issue, activists say

Halifax road safety advocates say that safer road systems and upgraded infrastructure could prevent fatal collisions.

There’s a quiet culture change happening in Halifax. I think it’s most obvious at #KidicalMassHfx, where you can see “all the cool bikes,” but it’s also evident on an average Sunday afternoon at the pool. The culture of family cycling and cargo bikes is growing steadily and it’s wonderful to see!

The trike has a sign advertising Kidical Mass Halifax. A midtail cargo bike has a sign on the back that says “bike good mayor bad”Close up of the front rack of an Aventon Abound longtail cargo bike. There’s a stick in it that says “I sold my car”

“We know what prevents deaths of people cycling, it’s the same thing that will shift people from ‘interested but concerned’ to choose cycling: high-quality cycling infrastructure like protected bike lanes. The only thing standing in the way of us having that is political will…” Via @cyclehalifax.ca

In 18 years France will have phased out Oil. In just over 20 years it will have phased out LNG. And Carney wants taxpayers to build new pipelines that won't even be online for approx. 5 years and take over 20 years after that to even begin to make a profit... #cdnpoli #neoliberal #wealthtransfer

France plans to ditch all fossil fuels by 2050. “France announced a ‘first of its kind’ plan to phase out coal by 2030, oil by 2045 & gas by 2050…The roadmap was published as dozens of nations gather for the first-ever international talks on how to transition away from planet-heating fossil fuels.”
