I wear reflective vest, light clothing, push the flashing buttons, use the flags & make eye contact, and STILL people drive thru crosswalks - I’m so close to wearing body cams…it’s ridiculous!
In the past two days, I was twice in a marked crosswalk, both times with the actual yellow lights flashing, both times in daylight, and was nearly hit by drivers who then gave me the little "sorry" wave.
People here can't stop apologizing when they come anywhere near you with their cart, yet will happily take a swing at you in their car. Then speak like Councillor Gillis yesterday about us being at fault.
Freaking odd.

A section of the Saint Margaret's Bay Road is CLOSED right now.

A listener texted us to say police are stopping vehicles from going PAST the Chocolate Lake Hotel...

And outside our window, we can see Police cars blocking the SMBR, coming off the Armdale Roundabout.

I learned four of these impaired driver's were in/around my residential neighbourhood....one area where I walk every day! I cannot even believe we're still dealing with this in 2025.
(Traffic) Halifax Regional Police charged 43 drivers with impaired related offences during the month of February

Incredibly brave to come forward, taking on institutions and the perpetrator.
Jennifer Graves provides a clear example of how gender based violence is allowed and systems continue to perpetuate the shame, blame and silence.
Pass legislation to ban the mis-use of NDAs once and for all. #nspoli #gbv
From X: Jennifer Graves details a decade of being silenced by @dalhousieu.bsky.social through an NDA. #nspoli

‘Rhythm’ has two h’s and no vowels.

Just remember:

Rhythm

Rhythm is also a dancer and a soul’s companion.

I can almost guarantee you that folks with connections to the Trump administration are making big money using inside information on the timing and content of tariff announcements.
This is what's going on with tarriff on/off again. Someone's getting rich from it.
