It makes sense the sailing event is still funded. It seems like this govt believes that highest and best tourism is offering leisure to very very wealthy folks. (See also: golf courses). This leisure must conform to stuff rich people do. Bagpipes need not apply.

No Pippi Longstocking hardcore stans, I see. I am judging you all.

Aka “Touch grass, next level”

Minister of AI’s key messages:
1. I know Sam Altman!
2. We are thinking of the children because we care.
3. INNOVATION!
4. Did I mention Sam Altman? Yeah. We’re buds.

Anyone else out there still say to themselves every once in a while, “pretty little Chillilug, I don’t want to get bug.”

Anyone else remember this? And why it’s so important that you say bug and not big?

I have a similar idea for an East Coast lifestyle kind of tourist package, that takes people to live music, Acadian area, Debert Mi’kmaq centre, Keji, to some Highland games and some time spent on a coast, ideally in one of the lighthouses that are Airbnb‘s.

someplace in Cape Breton to talk about Scottish and Irish traditions that contributed to the modern game. Sidney Crosby‘s house. So many opportunities. But oh yeah we have no money for tourism.

What if there was a hockey passport and you travelled around the province to get it stamped if you’re travelling here as a hockey fan. Stops at Mi’kmaq sites for the deepest history, check in at Windsor and Dartmouth for their stories,

With the attack on arts and heritage overall, and this “birthplace of hockey” recurring argument, we are overlooking a really nice tourism opportunity for Nova Scotia as a whole. What about a Hockey History Tour?

It was disappointing that Claudia Chender didn’t state this when asked on the CBC News although I get it— the NDP are uniquely attacked as guilty of raising taxes. (even though they’ve been in power but the once, and in spite of that the cost of living and taxes has gone up and up and up.)

I am going to regret this aren’t I?

I <3 people with a platform who just lay it out plain because they dgaf and don’t have time for your shit. Morgan Freeman is the best.

YES (Canada take note)

He was hired to fight for Wales's future generations. Does Canada need a job like that?

For the last three years, Derek Walker has been advocating for the rights of Wales's youngest generations — and generations still to come. As Canadian youth grap...

What I don’t want tax $$ spent on: harassing Mi’kmaq retailers based on spurious claims. Chasing natural gas, a transitional fuel that no one has been able yet to make a business case for.

What I do want tax $ spent on: ECE and equity initiatives. Climate adaptation.

What are yours?

Is ECE gone as a division? What’s left at CCHT? Who wound up with all the money Risley apparently lost? Can they invest it in community museums?

Remember folks, a peaceful, predictable, stable world doesn’t make money for the stock market cowboys.

In 1969 HRM bulldozed an island in the middle of Lake Banook for the Canada Games. I often think of that when I hear of situations like this where a simple engineering solution exists but it’s hard/expensive. Not that we ought to be bulldozing things out of our way (we’ve seen how that CAN go) but….

There is no first or last. We are all just travelling together on this planet. I don’t know where you’re going. You don’t know where I’m going. My guy, we are colleagues on this journey, not competitors.

Me, to the car who won’t let me into the right lane.

PSA: in the new Wuthering Heights, watch for Isabella because while everyone else is in a romance movie, Allison Oliver is on the best episode of Saturday Night Live. This character is EVERYTHING.

Is something going on with the Indigo site and app or is it just me? Had to reset my password twice because it wouldn’t let me in, do 2FA, then the app was blank, now the website is giving me search results but they all click thru to Page Not Found.
Guys, this is why Amazon is winning. Damn them.

Not to ruin my rep but these two would not even roll over for me. Lol. They are so gorgeous and sweet and such unique little individuals.
- will gush at a moment’s notice.

Count on some extra posting over the next while, folks, as I recover from being separated from my perfect beautiful grandbabies. Apparently I have a “job” and “husband” and “life” that requires me to be present.

They have to come to power before they can do that. Our mission is clear. (Keep em out of power)

If you’re hoping for something to happen with really long odds, it may help —at least, it helps me—to remember that there were not one but two songs about car washes that made it onto the charts.

This post is sponsored by the Jim Croce song that is echoing in my head for no reason right now.

I see UK and USA… Canada?

DYK that Heritage Day this year honours Senator Joseph Willie Comeau and Nova Scotia’s Acadian heritage? Because I didn’t. I had to look it up this morning. #vivelacadie

RIP Eddie Carver. Songs and books will continue to be written about you.

Oh Amanda I am so sorry to hear you went through that. 🩷🙁
