@jessicafancymp.bsky.social Your colleagues’ response to what happened is utterly unacceptable. Please raise the matter in caucus and urge all MPs to demand press freedom at any public event in which they are involved. The Everwind deal stinks to high heaven & the public has a right to know.

I started in a new school today. I had asked for an air purifier, and was told no problem. Turns out, every room in this little school has an air purifier. Good for them…

(Scam) There is a very convincing scam email going around falsely inviting people to apply to Hal-Con as a vendor, with a link to an application form ** Release waterfrontmediahfx.the902hxir.ca/111584-2

« Stuck on stupid waiting for dumb to come » is my new favourite saying and I will be using this daily now.

Canada doesn’t want the “benefits of a state”. The US wants to treat us like a state instead of a sovereign nation. And a good neighbour who just gifted them a bridge.

Whatever the PM decides to do next, I’ve decided I will not be referring to it as “retaliation”. I choose to think of it as “matching energy”.

Our local theatre showed Jaws for “Shark Week”. Jaws is a very good movie.

We can have both inclusion and safe classrooms. But not if we are going to cut the education budget by 3% each year. True in NS as well as Ontario.

Hahaha. Today we were talking about how neurodivergent people tend to marry other neurodivergent people and produce small neurodivergent people…not always. But enough.

Shameful.

Seems bad (and obvious!)

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

Just a reminder that Carney is cutting funding to the CBC by $192 million next year (despite campaign promises to *increase* funding) and its actively undermining efforts to combat misinformation.

We don’t want Pictou to be Corpus Christi.

What they are hiding, with their “natural” disease mediated immunity, is that we are living in an unnatural world, of sealed in boxes of dirty air called buildings, where we are miserably slaving away to death for wages that won’t cover the rent. And it’s killing us.

There is currently a group of girls who are eating lunch in my room and they are having a wedding where one girl is marrying her granola bar, and another one is performing the ceremony….

This is concerning. I lived in BC. We had mostly small earthquakes with the occasional larger one. Houses didn’t have basements. Materials were used to limit structural damage. We don’t do that here. Buildings will suffer structural damage insurance will not cover.

Dear Premier, Tourism jobs are REAL JOBS. Stop conflating your misogyny with reality.

If you’re an artist in #NovaScotia, you may want to talk with Tim.

Today I learned I’m older than the Civil Rights Act.

MLA stands in the legislature and congratulated our local theatre company for their production. They are housed in the local theatre which is losing a fifth of their funding.Rental rates went up to cover the shortfall, and theatre company complained to the theatre, shared and liked MLA post though.

I'm a Cape Bretoner, so you can't BS me about resource extraction companies. They are locusts. They come and they take and take and take and leave the people sickened and impoverished, and the land despoiled. #nspoli #cdnpoli

Shaming #TimHouston at the Oscars is now a thing! You go Girl!! #HaliSky #NovaScotia

If the provincial budget prompts an MLA to post not one, not two, but 3 Facebook apologies, maybe they should rethink some things.

This has been the worst week in almost 10 years.

Spread across all 800-thousand-plus personal income tax filers in Nova Scotia, the savings from these cuts amount to about $153 per year. A little more than $12/month. @machzy.bsky.social did thspreadsheet before I got around to it. Thanks!

In other news, I guess I’m not seeing the Offspring tonight.

According to the provincial data, 109 Nova Scotians died of Covid in 2025. That’s more than in 2020 (65) or 2021 (46). Masks save lives.

We also seriously need to promote working from home. I go days without driving because I work from home. Know what? We can find cost savings in ditching middle managers whose job it is to make sure workers have their butts in seats.

Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul. They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.

I know there’s a football game on. I’m réwatching Bruce Campbell on Homicide: Life on the Streets.

Went for a walk. The first picture is our road at 3 pm. The last 3 are the local park where I went to check on the ducks. They seem okay. Someone was down and checked on them already.

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

We would all be healthier today if the province had taken the money the Feds gave them for COVID prevention and relief and actually spent it in schools, instead of banking it to pad their surplus.

If you make valid points, but your tone is condescending and insulting, I’m going to think less of you. I think very little of “gotcha” politics.

Longer clip. Also, he’s trying to connect with the kids. Which I respect. Choirs for kids are my whole life.
