The Halifax Regional Municipality is asking for feedback on proposed changes to planning policies and land use by-laws that would help enable and regulate large-scale solar farms across the region. Details: buff.ly/fAeeYsj

In light of the Fallout franchise news, I just want to put it out there that Fallout 4 is a mom game.

Trudeau's reforms weren't perfect, but undoing them makes things worse, not better. Carney of course knows this. He isn't trying to build trust. He is weaponizing democracy to extract as much capital as possible from Canada for him and his rich friends.

The point of the Senate changes Trudeau made was to restore some semblance of public trust in an institution increasingly seen as a place for political cronies when they tired of the private sector, to live out their days rubber-stamping government legislation, @supriya.bsky.social writes.

weather.gc.ca/airquality/p... is the page with Halifax air quality health index, but if you use apps like purple air or air visual they provide a more fine grain and location specific reading which is more useful. Also there are fires burning in Nova Scotia too!

Halifax Regional Municipality@hfxgov.bsky.social · 3w ago

Smoke from wildfires in northwestern Ontario is affecting air quality in our region. You may notice hazy skies or smell smoke in the air. Stay informed, take precautions if needed & check the latest air quality info from Environment and Natural Resources Canada: www.facebook.com/share/p/1CnA...

With the cyclospora outbreak in the states, I am glad I already resolved to do more farmer’s market shopping this year! Canadians need to be mindful that our federal government is similarly happy to dismantle public services through defunding & can create conditions for outbreak(s) here though.

FWIW: natural gas (methane) is a globally-traded commodity. Extracting it here isn’t going to make it any more affordable to NSians or make us any less affected by global oil prices. Solar on every rooftop, however,

@harbourdiscourse.bsky.social · 2mo ago

That’s kinda what I thought. It’s really unfortunate. I imagine there would be some complexity in balancing the load across the grid. But that seems like a better use of $$$ than natural gas plants?

Was hanging up laundry to dry after airing out the house when it occurred to me that pretty much every household in generations past regularly used solar and wind power

Tiny moves coming up. Really humble things in the works.

Really cool to see that the first TriCon prioritizing the health of participants with multiple mitigations to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and whatever else might be in the air. @calhrm.bsky.social lends out air purifiers for all kinds of events in HRM!

TriCon@tricon-hfx.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Huge shout out to the Clean Air Library HFX for loaning us air purifiers for TriCon! We are doing what we can to provide a healthy space, incl providing masks & air purifiers, but reminder that the biggest help is to get your vaccines & stay home if you feel unwell! www.popns.org/community-ca...

BOLO for these 2 wheels please #BikeHfx. They were stolen from a front porch on Willow St sometime in the last week.

If you also suffer from seasonal allergies, I highly recommend air purifiers, having them on all the time, and buying separate ones for your bedroom, home office, and main living space. They are also good for reducing the risk of respiratory illnesses and dander from pets.

I'll say it again, this is the express purpose of disinformation. Of course they want you to believe the disinfo but at its core it's about making you think it's impossible to discern truth, that you can't believe anything you read.

Damn. We are in a bad spot when everybody becomes a conspiracy theorist. The level of distrust you have to create for regular folks to grow a third eye is immense.

This is a lie & a totally unsurprising endorsement of eugenics from a government that’s being using necropolitics to advance eugenics agendas & social murder since the day it formed. And I don’t mean this administration. I mean the US government. RFK Jr isn’t an aberration. He’s a perfect heir.

“This was not a disease that was killing healthy people. It was killing sick people”. RFK Jr. lying about the COVID19 pandemic.

So, I don't "live post" anything. Instead, I sporadically outburst. Anyway, I've collected my sporadic outbursts about this afternoon's online NS fracking session in a short thread. It wasn't great.

Just so everyone's aware, the NS gov. fracking sessions are not consultation. Even at this online session with over 100 people in attendance, the chat is disabled. It's talking heads providing bs about fracking. I guarantee they won't approve my submitted questions. What an absolute embarrassment.
