@TimHoustonNS …did 9000 people find doctors? Or just die waiting in emergency rooms?

Some good news! The Need a Family Practice Registry continues to go down as more Nova Scotians are being matched with family doctors! There’s still work to do, and we’re staying focused on connecting even more people with the care they need. We'll keep making it happen!

@liz_hallett And all they were trying to do was keep their kids safe

@HalifaxReTales Not now though! Only if re-elected!

@Girrl_Friday I came to this conclusion this evening as well

@hfxtransit Imagine steadily making a service worse and less reliable, then upping the price…

On Sept. 1, 2024, new Halifax Transit fares will come into effect. Learn more: halifax.ca/transit-fares

@NoLore I would truly settle for respect…

I think that one of Canada's key problems is that a majority of Canadians really want to be loved by their boss.

@FriendsOfHFX An you imagine thinking that more cars would help our downtown???

Did you know that the number 1 complaint by businesses, shoppers and visitors to downtown #Halifax is the lack of proximity #parking (parking within a short distance of the destination)? The ongoing reduction in parking spaces continues to agitate workers, visitors and residents alike (atlantic.ctvnews.ca/halifax-to-exp…) One of our main advocacy positions at @friendsofhfx is for more street parking to be made available, and for the @hfxgov to switch current dedicated bike lanes on downtown streets to merged lanes or left-of-parking lanes (see photos), similar to other old downtowns with narrow roads. Dedicated, protected bike lanes are incompatible with the needs of the vast majority of users of the road network in downtown Halifax. In narrow downtown streets with high demand for parking, bike lanes should be to the left of parking spaces, or share the road with cars in designated bike routes/roads (see Montreal's example at montreal.ca/en/articles/bi…). Downtown businesses pay a premium in lease rates and taxes to be where they are, with the supposed payoff being access to coveted "foot traffic". When downtown is hard to access due to prolonged construction-related street closures, and hard to park in due to loss of parking spaces, the foot traffic dwindles while the high costs of locating there remain. When these issues are coupled with real or perceived safety concerns and a general sense of deterioration, due to the presence of homeless encampments, we arrive at a serious risk of long-term damage to the reputation of downtown Halifax and its ability to attract visitors. Downtown government and private sector office workers are yet to return to in-person attendance on a full time basis, further affecting visitation, foot traffic and lunch time businesses. With mounting costs and dwindling sales, small local businesses either close or relocate to business parks in the suburbs, causing high retail vacancy rates and fewer incentives to visit downtown Halifax - a cycle that has resulted in the severe deterioration of many North American downtowns. The Friends of Downtown Halifax wish to see an attractive and successful downtown in Halifax. One that is easy to access and full of interesting shops and experiences. The ongoing attrition of street parking hinders the achievement of this goal.

@psac_afpc Thank you!!

PSAC has pledged $50,000 for humanitarian relief in Gaza as the conflict continues to escalate. More than half of Gaza’s population has been displaced and over 14,000 Palestinians have been killed. Read more: psacunion.ca/psac-donates-5…

@AndyFillmoreHFX Call. For. A. Ceasefire.

If you are a Halifax constituent and Canadian citizen or permanent resident who requires assistance getting out of Gaza, my office is always available to connect you with consular support and ensure every effort is made to get you home safely as quickly as possible.

@SackvillePaul Take care Paul!

Public Service Announcement - I will be generally unavailable for in-person meetings, and there may also be unscheduled absences or last minute cancellations, for the next two or three months as I battle cancer. I ask for your patience and understanding at this time.

@TorranceCoste Coffee.

Whenever someone tries to make the case that the best kind of bean is something other than black beans I'm always a gentleman about it and hear them out, even though their argument is complete and utter nonsense.

"We haven’t seen this kind of bargaining power among workers in half a century. And the federal government is Canada’s single largest employer. This story matters, for everyone." @ArmineYalnizyan #cdnpoli @psac_afpc thestar.com/business/opini…

@ShareTheRoadNS If I was that cyclist and a car close passed like that, my hand would be making a different gesture

#ShareTheRoad Make eye contact with all road users to ensure that you are all aware of each other. Eye contact is one of the non-viral communications that we can do on the road to stay safe. #DalTRAC #Driving #Walking #Cycling

@legendlarkpod Any chance you are able to ship to Canada now?? :)

Good day, sweet friendos! We come bearing good news, Roll to Fall in Love enamel pins are back in stock! legendlark.store/products/roll-…

@Lana_in_pajamas Clamato is better. But yes, it’s a thing

Teaching your 3yo about body autonomy and consent is great, until you ask her to take her finger out of her nose and she shouts “my body my rules”

@carolineflorenw At least it is a great place to die! Thanks Mike!

do I need to plug deeper into other municipal twitters or is Halifax really becoming an increasingly hellish place to live with each passing day?

@autismsupsoc @dragondames Came here to say this!

@dragondames Um … y’all. What you do is art …

Who are some of your favorite D&D artists (including fan artists!) ???

Definitely just fed my kid lunch at 10:15am because I was tricked by the oven clock and then added and hour in the wrong direction…
