Do we know if it’s really Nova Scotia Power asking for the rate increase or someone that stole their private information?
Hope to retire at some point but the universe keeps throwing a wrench in my plans. I Love to take pictures of wild flowers. Used to be an unreserved dog lover but recent events have taught me to be otherwise.

A very digestible read for those of you interested in learning how vaccines can energize your naive adaptive immune system (T cells and B cells) to rapidly respond to a virus; thereby either completely blocking infection or limiting viral spread and tissue damage. Don’t be naive. Get vaccinated!

Margaret Atwood is a Canadian National Treasure, eh?
As it's Labour Day, and I'm in Halifax, let me express solidarity with my colleagues at Dalhousie University, currently locked out by their management #KeepDalStrong
This. Dammit. THIS!

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
Is this similar to Blueberry grunt? Looks delish!
I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.
They’re totally going to do this.

I beat you by 10 minutes but have been up since 4:49 am and I'm way too perky for this hour of the morning.
Pretty much, sums it up.

Was walking Wed. mid-morning in the Dal area; came across someone on the sidewalk near Coburg and Vernon readying what I assume was a heroin injection. I admit it's been a while since I walked in that area but JEZZZZUSSSS at 10:30 am in the morning - is this what our city is like now?!?
I've seen a woman with a Gucci purse in white strappy sandals on the BMBCL trails in the past, so your theory is relevant.

And now I know what all the sirens I heard early evening were about. Need to consider moving out of Fairview; getting more of these incidents every week it seems
It started blowing in last night around 1:30 am and had to shut the windows. Now it's really bad up here!
I was working at DND shipyards in Woodside. We ran to the CO because we thought something warlike must have happened
Pretending Bluesky has a singular cohesive politics is actually so funny.
Wow, the smell and remnants of smoke from The Long Lake Fire are really hanging over Clayton Park this morning.

Not to be dramatic but if your truck literally cannot fit in a standard parking spot, you should have to have an additional license for it and that license should be very expensive with all revenue going to road maintenance
They don't have to worry; their paralegals do all the hard work.
Be truthful - did you have to look up the spelling of Snuffleupagus before you posted this? 😁
This is Moomin. He wanted to help an ambulance do its job, but went a little off-script at the end. 13/10 well done Moomin
This is roughly the size of the Long Lake Fire ~the size of what used to be the City of Halifax
On that highway in particular, excessive speed could also a factor.
Yay!! The rain has started in Halifax. Let it Pour🌧🌧🌧
Dr. Doug Eyolfson - By charging $100 for COVD vaccinations, the Province of Alberta is undermining efforts to prevent a disease that killed more Canadians than the number of Canadian soldiers killed in World War 1. This is unconscionable and dangerous. #cdnpoli
why do the video clips on BlueSky appear for 1/2 a second and then disappear? it's been happening a lot lately and it has nothing to do with my internet connection...
With extreme drought, a woodlands ban, and an out-of-control wildfire causing major evacuations, Nova Scotia’s Departments of Natural Resources and Environment will not say if glyphosate spraying of forest land will go ahead, producing more flammable material. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/economy/natu...

Don't mind Fall at all - it's what comes after it I have a problem with.
As Canadians we need to keep doing our part by avoiding travel to the US and through purchasing Canadian or non-USA products where possible. #ElbowsUp

Massive accident on Hwy 118 north. Hwy shut down heading north. 12 minute delay on the south side.
Any idea if it's just one big accident or three separate? Because that's a lot of road.
I'd gladly pay for a good car wash for a sight like that. wow!
Wow, we have bobcats in Atlantic Canada, but not that size!
From the CBC: "Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Friday the country will be lifting the retaliatory duties by Sept. Carney said tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos will remain as both governments continue negotiations." WTH Carney? Don't believe the Orange Cheeto's BS!

ah, ok. I drink wine so I had no idea that coolers and beer had expiry dates.
what kind of alcohol expires? cream rums? i'm puzzled
There are over 200 HPV (human papilloma virus) strains. 40 are sexually transmitted and infect the genitalia, as well as oral cavity. 12 are considered high-risk for cancer. Of these, HPV 16 and HPV 18 are responsible for most cancers. Make sure your children are vaccinated!

Check out this video of my second favorite immune cell killing tumor cells. Narrated by a friend/colleague, Dr. Gillian Griffiths. She has been studying CD8 cytotoxic T cells for almost three decades. These cells also kill virus-infected cells. Get Vaccinated!!

I read somewhere, if marriage benefited women, it would have been taken away from us by now.
WTH refers to a country as HOTTEST...? Is he admitting he's turning the USA into a HOT 3rd world country?
With a tentative deal reached, I applaud the AC flight attendants. Bravo! Let this be a warning for other airlines. Pay people, FFS.
You, sir, are no *common* loon; at least judging by your posts...
We can always hope and dream though😁

I was wondering if it had to do with the lack of fresh water from rain and rivers/streams that would normally be flowing into it.
“Tell Air Canada and the Liberal government that Air Canada Flight Attendants deserve fairness and the end to unpaid work.” Any rallies in #Halifax? #solidarity with #AirCanada flight attendants #canlab
Booooo. Binding arbitration is why things are so desperate that they needed to strike. Unpaid labour = enforced slavery.

Not often I literally laugh out loud at something like this, but this is spot on. Keep up the good fight, you good people of the USA.
Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

There have been people living and camping out in that exact location for years, but there's no excuse for having an open fire in these conditions (other than stupidity or selfishness).
Wow; quite a change in demeanor from the Premier; he usually comes off as a bit cocky or irritable with media. This humble, personal approach is refreshing.

I've been keeping my windows shut to block out the heat all week - now I'm keeping them shut to block out the smoke particles hanging in the foggy soup. Never thought I'd wish so hard for a good downpour and cooler air.
Covid, extreme forest fire hazards, the next crisis - some people (very few thankfully) have it in their heads that their individual rights trump doing what's right for their community.
I took the bridge to Dartmouth Crossing last night. The high speed of cars pushing through that corridor now that the tolls are gone? That bridge will soon be similar to the 102.
never thought I'd say "YAY!" for fog & patchy drizzle but that's the kind of summer it's been.
