Received this in the mail today. Can the 1990s please advise? Seriously, I thought I cancelled this in the 1990s... Why am I getting this again all of a sudden? Is there something wrong with the Internet?

@wayemason So happy to see this bus about town. Now if only we had a better and easier way to purchase bus tickets 🤔 Any updates on what's taking so long for us to join the 21st century in that department?

This is 🔥

My local media outlet #TheCoast is going to sue #HfxGov because they broke the law.

"The Coast will be suing the city because it broke the law, and we all deserve leaders who actually do their jobs. Even if they only do so when legally compelled".

The Halifax Board of Police Commissioners broke the law

The city’s Board of Police Commissioners voted to break the law Monday by passing the Halifax Regional Police budget. This is not just the opinion of your outside observer.

One of the reasons I am a supporter of local journalism is articles like this one from The Coast in #NovaScotia, explaining the #HFXGov budget challenges. It's 🔥 https://www.thecoast.ca/halifax/the-long-term-problems-of-short-term-thinking/Content?oid=30152124

The long-term problems of short-term thinking

Halifax council’s Wednesday budget meeting was a briefing from the city’s accountants explaining the financial difficulties in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. The main tension in the 2023 budget, as it has been for many years, is that the city is not currently sustainable.

Emergency Shelters need to be open year-round, because every day without a home is an emergency. Spurious action shouldn't only happen in the few hours before a storm.

Think of the people who've been rained on in tents for +24 hrs, then frozen.
