#FOIPOP
Absolutely. I look forward to the foipop that shows us the good comments at least.

Arlington Heights Wetland, above drinking wells, and the @bayoffundyrunde.bsky.social turned hazardous waste dump a political favour, no environmental study required. @who.int @earth-science.bsky.social @earthjusticeaction.bsky.social @valleyregister.bsky.social @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

I send FOIPOP to each provinces and territories requesting specific data on LC. Provided wording and diagnostic codes. It frustrates me that Health Canada’s last LC data is 2023.

Any journalists out there have any tips on how to successfully FOIPOP the System Impact Studies for the two phases of datacentre?

Mostly interested in who informed IESO of the upcoming grid demand and when, but the technical details of the studies may have items of interest too.
This June 26th document shows IESO was already planning for an electrical load in Richmond for the exact amount of the new EverWind data centre for Anthropic.

The police have now acknowledged my FOIPOP from the summer, citing resource constraints.

So, I'll probably get the data the day the video drops and release it as a fun addendum later if its interesting.
This was for family history research and I still haven't heard back from Halifax Police. :-(
The FOIPOP Sprits have cashed the cheque. 👀

I should probably follow up with the police about that FOIPOP.

The FOIPOP also contained an email former CAO Cathie O’Toole, sent to Coun. Cathy Deagle Gammon on June 26, after Fillmore told reporters that he & his staff were doing their best & mistakes were a “side effect of the former CAO making the choice to spin the office of the mayor out on its own”

Pic 1 & 7 December 2019 effluent testing, Active fire, entering poole brook and out to the @bayoffundy.bsky.social Pic 2, the final notice may have well have read, we have covered up mcgee lake in 2016, take your poison and suffer. Aug 21 2018, sampling passed off as sept 10 not expecting a Foipop

I remember when a 19-year-old kid in Halifax was arrested and charged for accessing public-facing information on a government website. No hacking required.

Generally @nsgov staff does not provide much info when asked a question. Why?

"… are not permitted to send info directly to the public. This is done through the FOIPOP process to protect private information belonging to the Approval Holder"

@privacylawyer.ca what can "Approval Holder" keep secret?

8 random foipop pages, it seems most readings of toxins right at RL requested limit, pic 2 about no @environmentalpol.bsky.social study required, pic 7 2009 aquifer test well results. @halifaxexaminer.ca @annapolisco.bsky.social @valleyregister.bsky.social @realerinbrockovich.bsky.social @who.int

So the FoIPOP material shows the October 30th receipt was the August 21st sample, not the September 10th the emails claim. Now that it's surfaced, that mismatch is documented rather than inferred.
September 27, 2026 at 9:04 PM
it is claimed in emails, that September 10th's 2018 effluent testing has been received on October 30th, but it was August 21rst's that was received on the 30th, they weren't expecting a foipop to be filed, Pic 1 effluent testing 2 weeks prior to "arson" entering poole brook, @bayoffundy.bsky.social

My FOIPOP budget this week is out of control ($50)
September 24, 2026 at 1:23 PM
It was the foipop part for me too. Now I want to foipop every intersection near me that’s spilled blood.
September 21, 2026 at 7:48 PM
Oh god the FOIPOP part. Oh god. Oh jesus. Like, I knew it was like this, but on some level I also thought there had to be something about it that made me categorically wrong. There is not. It really is that stupid.
September 21, 2026 at 7:47 PM
Question, how far back can I foipop? The signalized intersection nearest to me injures multiple pedestrians, cyclists, and/or scooterers every year but the most recent fatalities were in the 2010s.
September 21, 2026 at 8:14 PM
@landofsticks.bsky.social learning what your foipop was about has made my morning. I quite literally got out of my seat to cheer. I want this level of transparency for every decision staff makes about our roads
Budget's fu¢ked but we might get a stadium

Raise your hand if you just got a foipop so big it needed to be sent via separate correspondence!
September 14, 2026 at 2:17 PM
This FOIPOP includes a 55 page email chain where staff only consider how signal changes may or may not delay drivers and ignore concerns about creating pedestrian danger with those changes.

The HRM emphatically does not have a systems level approach to road safety.
