What a wonderful hike around the Reservoir Trail in Victoria Park this morning!
Thank you to Truro Pride Society and @hikenovascotia.bsky.social for partnering on this event. We had a lovely coffee break following our active morning hike and two lucky hikers won a Hike NS membership!

I regularly enjoy FrontBurner, the CBC podcast. This episode on "What exactly is Antifa" is a good explainer and touches on what is going on in the US and if it is fascism.

What exactly is Antifa? | CBC Radio
In late September, Donald Trump designated Antifa a domestic terror organization. Today, we’re tracking the meaning and history of antifascist protest — from 1930’s Europe, to today — and asking: how did the spectre of Antifa become such a target for Trump?

Lots of good ideas. Just imagine what we could do if we could debate these ideas as progressives and unite behind some core values rather than partisan point scoring.
Debate, counter the ideas of the new extreme right, and then unite and defeat them. A divided left benefits only the right.

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.
I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together.
We need a government that serves the many, not the money.

I have to say that I think the comms people of the @nsgov.bsky.social have done a good job on the wildfires. Not only have they used social media but more importantly they have put all the information they share on a webpage:

30 DNR firefighters have been working the Susies Lake wildfire since first light this morning. They have a short window of favourable foggy, misty conditions for ground crews. No aircraft on site due to fog. The estimated size is still 25-30 hectares. There will be updates throughout the day.

Interesting article. I do not drink alcohol after updated Canadian health guidance showing no safe limits (and surviving cancer). I can relate to some of what the article says. No booze for 2.5 years for me.

I wallowed in booze for four decades. Here’s what five sober years have taught me
