Have you ever had a dog with kennel cough? It's horrific. Now imagine that it's not a dog but your baby struggling with whooping cough/gasping for breath because you were too fucking stupid to get your child vaccinated.

Premier Tim Houston says Nova Scotia Power's proposed rate increase shows just how "out of touch" the company is, but Houston doesn't suggest he'll take any action to oppose the rate increase.

Twice in recent days, I wanted to go to local businesses I like, so both times I checked their website to see if there were any holiday closures. Neither website had any mention of special closures. Both were closed. No sense in having a website if you're not going to update it.

Employees of Nelvana are commenting that the studio closed its doors on Friday without any formal announcement. Alongside the shuttering of Family Channel, it’s a rather dark period for Canadian children’s television.

Donald J Trump: Hold my beer. 🍺
Absolutely you could. It’s worth noting that farmers actually do work from home.
As they say here in Nova Scotia, for sure. It’s a legitimate case of build it and they will come.
This should be interesting coming just as Trump is about to invade Chicago.

Today’s news story from @kimsiever.bsky.social Air Canada delays flight attendant pay If trying to get the federal government to attack their striking workers last month was not bad enough, Air Canada recently delayed pay for flight attendants and pilots. albertaworker.ca/news/air-can...
If anything it will add to it.
Sad to hear of Graham Greene's passing... Such a wonderful actor and a very nice man I got to meet him on a few occasions as we both lived here in Stratford and even got to sing for him once at his "Walk Of Fame" ceremony. Huge loss RS

When I worked for IBM Global Services outsourcing division in the early 2000s half of all staff worked from home. 50,000 people. Saved them a ton of money. We were very productive.

Likely?!? Do the math. Remember when COVID first hit and the highways were deserted because everyone was working from home? More people going into the office means more cars on the road. DUH! 🙄

One of the world’s most prominent hedge fund billionaires has warned that rising inequality is turning the US into an autocratic state and condemned business leaders for failing to speak out against Donald Trump’s policies.
I’m beginning to think many world leaders are just treading water until Trump actually does die. Hence the deals that don’t really exist like Japan’s.
Sadly, I can't link to the story b/c of Globe & Mail paywalls. But I feel that I have to share big news from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. It has bought at auction the plaid shirt & the Mountie costumes used in the Monty Python skit in which all sing "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay." 👀
Oh this is good.
I was quite amused by this story. It’s actually quite funny.
Used to love watching Reboot with my kids. This is sad if true.
LNG is worse than coal when it comes to warming impacts due to high methane emissions. If Japan isn't starting to realize the error of their ways, they will. However, the powers that be in Japan are working to mislead the world about this basic science so they can make a few more $$$.

On a whim, Dave Matthews Band performed one of their albums in order for the first time (1998's 'Before These Crowded Streets,' specifically)
It’s come full circle from BBSs.
Facebook and Twitter have destroyed the very concept of what a decentralized Internet was supposed to be. And they were so successful at it, that far too many people think that's what the Internet should be. A small network dominated by big corp with no competition.
They were led by the beam of a led flashlight.
