When I moved into public housing, I raised hell and got a reputation for it. But we got things done: inspections, repairs, fences, sheds, food support, sports and opportunities for our kids. ❤️ Years later, this is home, and I’m proud of what we’ve built together. #NovaScotia

Please don't waste your time on this, numbers nerds. Instead, put your calculations to understanding campaign finance donations and public procurement contracts!

Translation: the mayor broke the law, so they are going to change the law because they are too chickenshit to put the mayor in prison.

Why is Mark Carney doing Project 2025, Trump's playbook for how to gut the public sector?
Avi Lewis
@avilewisFeb 6
Federal workers are already staring down the barrel of 40,000 job cuts, and now Carney wants to force them back into the office four days a week.  It will make it harder for the public service to recruit and retain talent, it could cost up to $6 billion and it’s a slap in the face to workers that undermines ongoing negotiations. Federal workers - like all workers - deserve to be treated with respect. That’s why our Dignified Work plan defends remote work arrangements for federal employees who deliver our essential public services each and every day.  Unwavering solidarity to @psac_afpc, @PIPSC_IPFPC, and all workers impacted by this callous decision! cbc.ca/news/politics/federal…
