Man, I wish Halifax could get an NHL team. It would kill there.

Trams connected the twin cities of Kitchener and Waterloo for nearly a century until they were ripped out to make way for the car in 1946.

They recently corrected that mistake, and—with a combined population of 350,000—became the smallest region in North America with light rail.

For the lessons. The laughs. The tears. You let me live out my dreams.”

Another L for the week! This time offered 32% over ask for a 1700 sqft house 20 mins from downtown… not even the backup offer #halifaxhousing #nspoli

[troymraz @troymraz]

Update - just put in an offer for 40% over asking price in Halifax and was greeted with a nice “unfortunately another bid was accepted” 1 hour after offers were due #HalifaxHousing #nspoli

@AJDoyle14 Tough go my friend. We’re 0/4 after 20 viewings so far.

Another house bid lost…. But this time because someone bid $228k over asking in Clayton Park, Halifax 🧐🧐#HousingCrisis #nspoli

@noraallen2018 Starting to sound like a good option… just have to convince Emi! 🤣

This is awesome in my books, but of course it doesn’t come without its challenges: 1) housing affordability and availability, 2) an extremely low rental vacancy rate, and 3) staggering inflation…to name just a few #nspoli #Halifax

BREAKING: Halifax, Nova Scotia has the fastest-growing downtown population in the country, according to the first batch of 2021 Census data released today by Statistics Canada.

In case anyone else is without Internet today in HRM, @Bell_Aliant tech support just communicated a wide-spread outage with no ETA on resolution... seeing lots of folks with similar issues

[troymraz @troymraz]

This is so embarrassing for our country

[Graeme Benjamin @GBenjaminHFX]

Here’s some of the crap we had to deal with this morning.

I will say, many were respectful and glad to see we were up early to cover it, but these dudes made it extremely difficult to accurately portray the message they were trying to send.

[troymraz @troymraz]

@thesmacleodshow Brilliant people who clearly read a lot

[troymraz @troymraz]

@Tim_Bousquet Similar to the IBM deal in 2013, no? Granted, this is about double the scale. Always risk in doling out subsidies, but would be interesting to see the job creation numbers from professional services firms in the city (especially over past 5-10 years)

"Canada could welcome more than four million immigrants in the 2020s. Greater urban housing density – which is the main solution – will become ever more essential to provide homes . Such density must be accompanied by major investments in transit."
