Unfollow me now because I will be retweeting daily until an action plan is in place for this extremely serious public safety issue.
Day 2.
Going from staff data analysis from 2018 to 2021, a pedestrian is struck and injured or killed by a turning driver at a signalized intersection on average every ten days here. An action plan addressing this is urgent. Correspondence with staff.

"We know the whole world's going to be driving them one day"
Sustainability actually depends on the vast majority of the world not driving private vehicles everywhere, including here.
We bet big on electric vehicles. Now that industry is betting on us.

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 new public housing built in Nova Scotia for 30 years but yes, surely it must be Trudeau.
After 8 years of Justin Trudeau there are now 35 homeless encampments in Halifax.
THIRTY. FIVE.
Trudeau's housing minister is from Nova Scotia. Maybe his focus should shift from photo ops to home building.

Speaking for myself, what is not working is:
- A Province where no car = no travel
- No hope of getting a family Doctor
- 12 hour waits at emergency services
- Politicians playing the blame game over urgent climate change action instead of stepping up & working collaboratively
Winter is coming and the Liberal Carbon Tax is driving up the price of gas, groceries, and everything else.
The Liberal Carbon Tax is not working for Nova Scotians.
