Tonight, I’m thinking about Justice Murray Sinclair and of the times that I was lucky enough to hear him speak about his work with the TRC. This moment stands out for me. It’s his answer when he was asked, “Why can’t you just get over it?”

We have the best picket line. #HfxLibStrike Description/ a person in a butterfly dress holds a very hunger caterpillar who must be five feet long, made out of paper lanterns.

Why do we need LiBrARiEs when everyone has InTeRnEt ?/s. Sorry, just reacting to something some random said on Reddit. We need libraries for SO MANY REASONS.

L is for Living Wage #hfxlibstrike

The Case of the Missing Clerks: most communications about #Halifax library worker wages leave out Clerks, the lowest-paid position (at 16.45). Most of them part-time. Why are they being left out? 🤔 #hfxlibstrike

People are struggling, some working 2 even 3 jobs. In Halifax workers must earn more or face tough choices that compromise health. @CSaulnierHfx "we want a society where workers have time, have the resources to meaningfully contribute in all...ways that they want to" #livingwage

Library workers provide essential support to our communities and work on the front lines of the affordability and housing crises every day, not to mention through the pandemic. The NSNDP stands in solidarity with these workers fighting for fair wages & better working conditions.

Home-share platform funded by @nsgov results in 23 leases in a year. At $50,000+ apiece, it’s like each case had their own housing support worker. Such an (in)efficient use of money. Can’t help but ask: are all those leases fixed term? Are any affordable? halifax.citynews.ca/2024/08/22/hom…

Adsum was a witness at @nsgov Standing Committee on Health today to examine the links between health outcomes and the lack of safe affordable housing. We know that housing is the foundation of health and without stable housing, the other determinants of health cannot be realized.

@HalifaxWater @hfxgov The map isn’t working

@FridayInHalifax Those whiskers!

I cheated on my cat with another cat. This trip is going to be the death of me.

Folks, a GoFundMe has been created to support the family of Ahmad Maher Al Marrach, the victim of a stabbing this week. gofundme.com/f/2be8zp-suppo…

We are shocked and angered. Our statement on comments by Ministers Johns. #novascotia #IPV #GBV #domesticviolence #domesticviolenceisanepidemic

People who just now discovered how low WNBA salaries are are blowing my mind! Did you think Brittney Griner was spending half the year in Russia for the weather and good gay times?!?

@JulieSLalonde I had this done a few months ago and the male doctor said “it might pinch a bit”, I almost passed out.

Doesnt this just benefit the middle to upper class the most?

The closure of the Tacoma Family Walk in Clinic is devastating for the thousands of people in the Dartmouth area without a doctor. The Premier thinks people are ok without a doctor. I wonder if he’s been in line for the clinic at 8am? We deserve better.

We may not be seeing as many tents in HRM but hiding homelessness doesn’t solve homelessness. So far this month we’ve had 65 calls from people –some with kids– with no safe place to go. We’re supporting 105 families with 197 children every night in hotels and shelter diversion
