20mm in East Chester

The Halifax waterfront was HOPPING today - so great to see. It was One Port City Day and lots of activities going on. Love the vibrant waterfront.

So we drove downtown this morning to deliver something. Traffic was slow - it’s busy downtown today (which is great). But on our route bike lanes weren’t impeding the flow of traffic, it was all the construction. Should we put a moratorium on that too?

I know too much sunlight can cause yellowing.

Did you plant it in a shady area?

That’s a good question! My gut feeling is that it’s been low (thanks in part to Stephen Harper and Brian Mulroney… both dismantled some federal science/research programs). I may be wrong!

Ugh. I’m sorry

This weather zaps energy too

Canada - do better

CBC news said weapons related. Stay safe.

Holy moly Charles. Is this the impact of jet lag?

This is peak assholery.

Here’s the online price for Walmart in Strathmore. I suspect it’s a labelling error

Did you confirm if it was an incorrect tag? The price for 750 ml in Halifax is $4.27

I understand that but we now lack that representation in the HoC

Indeed. And we kicked the NDP to the curb in the election, which is heartbreaking. Looking forward to a rebuild.

He posted it on X (unfortunately!)

Thanks also to Jagmeet Singh and the NDP

Thank you Jagmeet - for everything

Has the CPC fired Jenni Byrne yet?

Ha ha ha - the roasting today is on point
