Municipalité régionale d’Halifax : 30 ans de mariage forcé Trente ans après la fusion de la Municipalité régionale d'Halifax, en N.-É., le mariage forcé est mieux accepté mais un sentiment d'inégalité persiste.

Le 1er avril 1996, le gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Écosse impose la fusion qui crée la Municipalité régionale d'Halifax. Trente ans plus tard, ce mariage de raison est mieux accepté mais un sentiment d'inégalité persiste. #nspoli #hfxpoli

What a great idea! So great that #hfxpoli #hrmpoli should do the same thing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The on,y sure way to fix traffic problems is to reduce the amount of traffic.

Making traffic flow easier just entices more people to get into their cars and add to the traffic. This is known as induced demand.

Halifax : la police accusée de perpétuer le profilage racial Six ans après l’interdiction officielle des contrôles de routines, le sentiment d’insécurité reste vif chez les personnes noires à Halifax.

Des membres de la communauté afro-néo-écossaise dénoncent la persistance du profilage racial malgré l'interdiction des contrôles de routine depuis 2019. La police régionale d'Halifax et la GRC de la Nouvelle-Écosse s'étaient pourtant engagées à lutter contre le racisme systémique. #hfxpoli

Houston is an autocrat who has demonstrated his disdain for democracy.

Filmore wants personal power, because unlike the thousands of mayors across the country, he is unable work with the current system.

Their efforts to undermine democracy is so very, very wrong.

No shade, but whenever I feel nostalgic about #Halifax, I check out what’s happening in the #HRM and the #NovaScotia governments, and that feeling fades away.

It’s so infuriating that such a lovely place is run by such absolute cretins.
