Ben jij dé HRM-adviseur die ons team zoekt? Als eerste aanspreekpunt voor directeuren en managers, en met ons recruitmentteam werk je aan personeelsgroei. Excelleren in HRM-thema's zoals leren, veiligheid en diversiteit?
Sometimes I walk that straight stretch to watch the sunset or seals at Moosehead beach. You can walk to the end of Halifax (#HRM) from here. Someone knows what happened.😏
Another good song, and the beach at Tor Bay Provincial Park.
If you blink, you'd miss this amazing place. No one else here but the birds. @TheSauce #PipingPlovers#Plover#Birds
Not every beach is sandy @TheSauce , but I've seen 100s of them in NS, dozens along the longest highway (#7) in #Halifax. (You'd need a guide.) #TourismNS will never mention these places, or I wouldn't go there.
In NOVA SCOTIA, we don't eat lobster daily. #WAYCTV ◄
NONE OF THESE PLACES have #Transit, #Gasoline, #Cellular, #Television, #Stores, #Banks, Public #Phones, #Tourist Info, #Seniors Care, #Veteran Support, Healthcare & more. More City folks have seen Cuba, than the end of #HRM FORGOTTEN
@iuculano Thanks Joe, I have a dozen tabs open, as I read Halifax Municipality pages and the amount of meetings, raises, bad decisions and the proposed Tax increase, while furiously typing.
I can't go for groceries, without breaking down in tears. All the homeless that upset police and council have been moved 4 minutes from my door, between my driveway and my weekly grocery pickup. COUNCILLORS aren't crying,, OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND, next Agenda Item #Stadium talk, #Busses#Taxes Not helping
Try to find a staffer name? @Ruston
Try to find transparency? I once calculated that a meeting I attend with Power Brokers, for one $8000 expenditure, cost $8000/hr, Not having reached a decision, rebooked another Power Meeting?
This goes on behind closed doors daily & InCamera. There's things I can't disclose, unrelated to my current rant, but about #HRM poor decisions, lack of constancy, accountability .
A single new staffer changed something, being addressed since 2008, no longer required?
for more than 15 years @Ruston#HRM was unable to finish a REVIEW process, but fixed it by removing the requirement to address it?
I do have that STAFFERS name & phone number though.
I'm a trained Auditor in Quality, Safety & Compliance. I can't read a book #ADHD, but I can read paragraphs, memorize regulations & refresh the memory of overpaid employees who are not doing what they are paid to do.
I'M FURIOUS ABOUT TAX INCREASE OF 10%
I pay more in my monthly taxes now, than my 1st mortgage!
Anyone want to guess, the costs to host a meeting, for a group of 16, that collectively earn $25,600,000 a year? (Plus unk staffers salaries)
Weekends = 104 days + 14 public holidays
They have been working on the same problem for approximately 1000 hours to resolve just one problem? And they cannot find a solution. #HOMELESSNESS
3 Years- NADA #FastTrack - HOLD MEETINGS OUTSIDE?
The Homeless Tenting was inappropriate in the public eye, downtown near the #HRM Councillor parking, in past it was #OccupyHalifax and a mayor then who lied repeatedly to the occupiers, Since 2020. I've been reading Staff Report, Staff Report, Meetings and Promises.
I'm not saying I have a solution, but I have ideas. 1st, lower #Halifax taxes by 10%
Lower the salaries of $100,000 (Sunshine club, to $90.000)
USE Public Transit #HFXTransit needs Ridership.

Springfield Estates Mobile Home Park was formally charged this year with operating a park without a license from the Halifax Regional Municipality — plus another charge of not providing potable water to residents. A court date has been set for June of 2024.
Today, 11 Nov, we remember those who served, those who fought, and those who died in service, for their country. #RememberThem
I come from a long line of military members, I'll stand in the cold, at the local cenotaph in the village, beginning after 10:30 am.
It might snow, it looks like it?
Well, the service is over, at atiny #HRM park in #MoserRiver , a tiny village on a river, by the same name. Folks asked why I don't wear my medals? Well, for one, I don't carry them around, and other than identifying me as a veteran, my medals bear no semblance to those veterans who fought or died.
I recognized a guest speaker. I sailed with him. Then another, behind me. It took forever to remember their names. One didn't remember me.. yet. We sailed on Skeena, Ottawa & Athabaskan. #Navy
You used to see #Halifax Fire News on the former Twitter, but I don't know what other places they update, and there's no mention of EHS and Fire Depts responding in this end of the former county.
Used to be a green sign past the city of Dartmouth that said, "Halifax County" but after the city amalgamated and started supporting a sign making business full time, they rebranded Halifax Regional Municipality #HRM, then rebranded those same 1000 signs to a shorter, cheaper, peel-off type, HALIFAX.
The #NovaScotia government, #Halifax ( #HRM ), and two private developers will build a rent-geared-to-income tiny home community in Lower #Sackville, with residents moving in the autumn of 2024.
