We also had 18mm of rain in Union Square near New Germany. We desperately needed it!

Looks like yet another rainfall bust for SW N.S. All the showers over the last month or more seem to move from N.B. into Eastern N.S.
It’s refreshing to see Rolling Stone magazine expose the truth about Trump’s fake trade war with Canada. “Keeping a straight face has been perhaps the greatest achievement of Mark Carney’s brief tenure as the prime minister of Canada”. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Can you turn those question marks for rain Thursday night into exclamation marks? We’re desperate for rain in southwest N.S.
“ You fly over and see these new golf courses ruining your beautiful fields and valleys. They are ruining your country!”
“Stop the windmills.The windmills are eating the cats! They’re eating the dogs!”

Southwest N.S. is a desert. We’ve only had 14mm of rain in July at our cottage near New Germany. Our vegetable garden is not happy! We can collect 1,000L of water from our rain barrels to water the garden, but not when it doesn’t rain.
The New Germany area has only had 13mm total and the last half of June was also dry. All the heavy showers in July seem to be moving along the Atlantic and Fundy coasts.
I have an idea to reduce the amount of smoke billowing from Canada into the U.S.: impose a 35% tariff on all smoke entering the U.S. from Canada. This will encourage forest fires to move to the U.S.
How did Robyn’s Convenience survive this long? Even if they sold all of their inventory every day they still wouldn’t have had enough revenue to pay their rent.
Gardens and wells inland from Mahone Bay desperately need some rain. June was dry and only 5mm of rain so far in July. Yesterday was a goose egg 🥚 🙁
Environment Canada should start using the term “Gulf of New Brunswick” in their official bulletin for storms that move through that gulf between Maine and New Brunswick.
5 days from “Elon is brilliant and he’s my best friend” to Elon is an idiot, I’m cancelling all of his contracts, Teslas are garbage, and give me back the gold key to the White House…
Has anyone had their vehicle unfairly booted in a @hfxgov.bsky.social parking lot that’s under contract to RFM Atlantic for parking enforcement? I parked in the Centennial Pool parking lot, signed in, but was booted anyway. RFM refused to remove the boot until I paid $115.
Meme coins are like Beanie Babies. Their only value is what people will pay for them. How would people be reacting if Trump sold an orange Trump Beanie Baby and rewarded the people who paid the highest price for them with a black-tie dinner?
Mark Carney has only been our Prime Minister for a week, but he’s doing pretty good so far! At least he wasn’t kicked out of the White House 🇨🇦🍁
Trump must want Mark Carney to win because his insane pitch to vote for Pierre Poilievre so Canada can become the 51st state will encourage most Canadians to vote for Mark Carney!
I don’t know about that. We Canadians hate him a lot! 🇨🇦🍁
The most disappointing result from this poll is that more Canadian Conservatives (24%) have a favourable opinion of President Trump than of Prime Minister Mark Carney (13%). Sadly, that’s what’s wrong with the Conservative movement in Canada and why they will likely lose on Monday.
This episode is very good, and my fellow Canadians will enjoy his interview with Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario.
Wind chimes and Trump’s Sharpie are all the U.S. has left now to forecast storms.
Trump is going to replace NOAA with a Sharpie. That’s all he needs to forecast where storms are going to go!
I agree, Jim. The shifting global focus from green energy to energy security could actually accelerate clean energy adoption faster than the net-zero framework ever could, as this interesting report from Carlyle argues: www.carlyle.com/sites/defaul...
Will posting this get me arrested at the border if I go to the U.S. again?
This was one of my favourite episodes, too! Fun and fascinating!
What do Americans expect? Why would Canadians visit the U.S. now when your government has declared war on Canada? Americans are welcome to visit us, though. Our fight is with your government, not with most Americans 🍁 🇨🇦
Since Russia and the U.S. are allies now, will this hockey series be one ‘unified’ team of U.S. and Russian players competing against Team Canada? 🍁 🇨🇦
This is amazing. If Trump can persuade his Republican base to start buying EVs, at least something good may come from his Presidency. Next Americans should start boycotting Elon’s Solar City so Trump will start promoting solar panels.
Freeland is being nice for TV. When your closest neighbour and friend for over a century suddenly becomes a bully, a liar, rips you off, threatens you, and says they never even liked you anyway and don’t ever want to be your friend again, we feel much more than antagonized…we feel betrayed. 🇨🇦 🍁
Every one of we Canadians are boycotting everything American. We love our American neighbours, but we have never been more patriotic and proud to be Canadian than we are today. Your President broke the trust and friendship we once had with the U.S. and I don’t know if it can ever be restored. 🇨🇦 🍁
I hope we still go ahead with retaliatory tariffs on American goods imported into Canada unless the U.S. agrees to end the trade war permanently.
I’m even packing away bottles of American booze in my house. I will drink it after your illegal Trump Tariffs are lifted. I have already cancelled my Amazon Prime subscription. Every Canadian product sold in grocery stores here is now marked with a maple leaf 🍁
Thanks Jeff Douglas for this awesome remake of your iconic I Am Canadian ad! youtu.be/1LzhCLzfJFg
This change makes so much sense. If a Doctor is qualified and certified to practice in one province they should be able to work in every province. I was talking to a Dr. recently who had to apply and pay thousands of $ to register in every province where she did a locum.
Progressive Americans are welcome to visit us in Nova Scotia anytime. You can drive here or take the ferry from Bar Harbor across the Gulf of Nova Scotia 😊
I’m a sad and mad Canadian. I love our lifelong American friends and neighbours. But when your best friend bullies, threatens, lies to you, and wants you to be weaker so they can be stronger…you reluctantly Booo them and look for new friends.
Thanks!
Environment Canada is holding to their forecast for only snow for Halifax on Sunday. I haven’t seen any models that are forecasting only snow with the Sunday storm. Does EC have a ‘secret’ model that we don’t see?
Awesome cross country skiing conditions today at Brunello for both skate skiing and classic. Tuesday and Wednesday should also be excellent. @hfxgov.bsky.social @haligonia.ca
Here is my first @bsky.app post! I spent a glorious winter day outdoors away from social media, bad news, and political crises by grooming ski trails, skate skiing, then skating at the Oval on the Halifax Commons. @hfxgov.bsky.social
Correct.
Deal? Not likely.This is the beginning, not the end. Trump can never, ever be trusted. His word means nothing. Negotiations mean nothing. Agreements mean nothing. “Paused for 30 days” likely means postponing the tariffs so Trump can say that he gave us a chance to negotiate and now has no choice.

You are welcome to visit Nova Scotia anytime!
For generations America was Canada’s trusted neighbour, friend, ally, and trading partner. Like all good friendships, ours made both Canada and the U.S. better and we both benefited. Sadly, those days are gone, and we have no good option but to fight back, then move on and away from America.
For generations America has been Canada’s friend, neighbour, and mutually-beneficial trading partner. In less than two months your new King has destroyed all of that. We Canadians, and other countries, have no good option but to move on from America and form new alliances and partnerships. 🇨🇦🍁🙁
