- Reposted by Idealistic Pragmatistwww.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Summary: they allowed new high-density builds that aren't covered by the property tax cap and so permanently improve their fiscal outlook without adding massive new costs per resident. ASTONISHING BUT TRUE
- @tsrhg.bsky.social hi! I believe you wanted to repost the information about the vaccine study, right? You actually reposted my post about my prior vaccine history. Would you mind undoing the repost on that and reposting the quoted post about the study instead?
- I’m excluded from the study because one of my many prior COVID vaccinations was with the early AstraZeneca vaccine. So bummed! Ah well, my masking behaviour should probably have been an exclusion criterion anyway.
- Partner, looking at the weather forecast (confused voice): “But…there’s no storm on Sunday. There are supposed to be storms on Sundays!”

- Reposted by Idealistic PragmatistI desperately want to live in a city that is actively bettering itself – it's what drew me back to Halifax. However, we are quickly regressing under amateurish provincial leaders and their "vacuous and controllable" mayor. I don't think continued population growth is assured.

- Conversation with Partner about the sparse communication and absenteeism of our now not-so-new MP, culminating with: Me: Well, we’ve had worse. Her: And we’ve had better.

- Reposted by Idealistic PragmatistIt’s a dark and cold time in so many ways. Grateful for a little meetup and ride with the #BikeHfx community, who brought everything from homemade cookies and hot chocolate to hot dogs! Thanks to all who made this happen ❤️

- Sometimes I think about the @thestrategists.ca podcast episode from before the federal election in which they all went on and on about how Carney was going to have issues with public speaking, as a new-to-politics technocratic type, and how that problem might be addressed. 😄
