This is my old apartment complex. Over the course of 5 years it went from a nice place to live to a hell that gave me literal hallucinations for months after I moved out. One of ACORN's rare weekend events, worth showing up for.

The guy that climbed on the roof and smashed the windshield is a dumbass but “extreme faction”, “rioters”, “criminals”. Come on. Aside from dumbass all I saw was loud voices and his driver pushing human bodies w/ a 3 ton vehicle. Also do they know they can write a release WITHOUT the word Bluenoser?

Periodically, the Globe becomes aware the Maritimes exist, and the results are consistently hilarious. LOL How do you write this without mentioning police are currently investigating his office for financial improprieties?

The woman who intervened in the Costco attack is a true Halifax hero. She put her body between a racist and the family he was threatening— risking herself to protect strangers— and told that Nazi STFU to his face. May we all find the same courage and presence of mind when neighbours need defending!
Couldn't sleep last night because it was too hot outside so instead I ruminated on the 63 billion dollars we've allocated for defence spending www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Damn, okay, so Halifax's city council has been regulatorily captured by Uber. Cool. Neat. Fun. Let's hope they break free of their capture when Uber/Fillmore's motion comes back to council.

Well, it's nice that it's open again, but the restrictions are ridiculous. No drawing! No writing! No BLM shirts! They're terrified of public expression, and they hate what artists like Sara Hartland-Rowe can illuminate:

FRIDAY. NOON. PROVINCE HOUSE. ALL HANDS ON DECK: WE WON'T STOP SINGING! We've been thousands strong before. Can we grow even more, and surround the whole building with song?
March 24 around 11:40pm update — “Request for a recorded vote. I will now recognize the clerk to conduct the vote.” It’s okay to change your mind … You can join us, join us anytime. “Please clear the gallery.” … proceedings forced into adjournment until tomorrow.
A funny thing to do would be adding a second sign saying "No Putting Down Concrete Barriers" with maybe some excerpts from the 2024 provincial and municipal removal orders
OneDartmouthCove@onedartmouthcove.bsky.social · 5mo agoWe are extremely disappointed and concerned to see that “No Trespassing” signs posted on our private property have been deliberately defaced and vandalized. This behaviour is unlawful and has been reported to Halifax Police.

POV: You're a Nova Scotian and you can't make it out to rallies, can't make phone calls, etc. But you still want to stick it to Tim Houston because he's a trash person with trash policies. Find your MLA + send emails. These budget cuts are not the way forward. nslegislature.ca/members/prof...
