Exactly. AND - they have no use of force policy - little to no de-escalation training But sure - give them tanks.

Heart broken and infuriated to hear about the rushed forced eviction of uni Avenue that just wrapped up. @AndyFillmoreHFX does this have anything to do with your motion being voted down? People witnesses residents belongings being trashed.

@VirginiaHinch I know today is your 1st meeting at the Police Board of Commissioners. What you might not know is there is huge public interest and attendance at the Budget Review public presentation sessions. The CAO is recommending cutting the usual 2 sessions down to 1. Cont”d

This will cancel the virtual session which is critical for accessibility and also the session which happens earlier in the process thereby allowing for more incorporation into the talks. Cont”d

Also there is a history of the BoPC not being responsive to public input and this will only further enhance the public view that they are uninterested in receiving the valuable expertise the public brings forth.

Daily reminder that food banks exist because of government choices. Dude in photo has specifically participated in years of poverty increasing actions and inactions.

I guess when you are devoid of human empathy you need to make friends with concrete and buildings.

Replying to @globalhalifax
Our public libraries should not serve as makeshift homeless shelters or safe injection sites. The unhoused should be welcomed to use the library for its intended purpose only. No one wants to take their children or grandchildren to the library and find people using chairs as beds, or discover addicts overdosing in the bathrooms. The premise of this article should be “we need to make libraries safe and attractive for the public who will fund these higher wage asks”, not “how fast can we get addicts and the homeless back into the library so they can sleep and shoot-up drugs more safely”.

Transphobes out in full force this am. If they really cared about fairness and justice in sports (or anywhere else), there is a long list of things they might want to take a look at.

I think this is such good framing. Government policy has been and continues to actively eliminate affordable housing.

Mary Campbell has died. The news comes as a gut punch. Worse than a gut punch. It’s incredibly sad news in a world of sadness, a gaping hole in everything that was right and good and smart and fun...

Warms the heart. Dogs, people - we all have and are our things. A beauty example of adapting to the realities of who we/the dogs are. Acceptance, making space and care.

Totally shameful. He went to the Junos knowing that he harmed and displaced unhoused people . To make them disappear, in part, for the Junos. I honestly don’t know how he sleeps at night.

Even @MikeSavageHFX was on the Red Carpet tonight @TheJUNOAwards! @onair_blair asked him he’d abolish the bridge toll as his last act as mayor 🤣 Here’s what he said:

Based on the evidence, it is reasonable to question whether the police were ever planning to investigate this case. But the police board of review never questioned police on this - they only found questionable Carrie in all of it.

“Carrie Low seemed to believe that her case was being ignored. She had an expectation that she would receive communication on a weekly basis at the worst. She had a belief that the entire matter would proceed much more quickly. /
