That is absolutely your prerogative. Have a great weekend.

I don't think I will trust you. Putting blind faith in people saying "trust me bro" have never led to good things or results.

So very sad!
I’ve learned that someone trampled on hundreds of daffodils at the Daffodil Garden for Cancer Survivors in #Dartmouth. If you see someone vandalizing spaces in our community, please report it. This was a shameful act.

That’s simply awesome @carolesaab and @FCM_online Thank you for your continued leadership !
A PROUD day for FCM, our first march together in #CapitalPride, and a new tradition. We will continue to work day in and day out to keep building an inclusive FCM, and better and more equitable cities and communities. Love is love, and today was filled to the brim. Onward.🌈

Very eloquently presented by @SamAustinD5 indeed! It’s unfortunate that common sense did not prevail by MLA’s on the government side @SteveCraigNS @BradJohns157 etc. on amendments brought forward at the Standing Committee on Law Amendments!

As former Halifax City Councillor and former President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, I have seen first hand how hard Andy has worked and DELIVERED on projects that helps everyone in our community. Celebrate that and stop the hateful behaviour!
To my #halifax #northend neighbours who told my 17 yr old volunteer canvasser to f**k off this morning: Not cool. Our democracy runs on volunteers of all parties stepping up to engage citizens. Try stepping up yourself instead of cursing at minors. @NDP @CPC_HQ #cdnpoli #Elxn44

Congratulations Carole and continued successes!
It has been a year since @CaroleSaab was appointed CEO of FCM and what a whirlwind it has been. Taking on the role while working remotely like so many of us, Carole’s vision + advocacy helped lead to massive wins, including Safe Restart funding and the Rapid Housing Initiative.
