Tariff war: Does Trump actually know what he's doing? | About That
YouTube video by CBC News Tariff war: Does Trump actually know what he's doing? | About That

This is a really good summary of the whole Trump tariff clown show in a way that probably only the Canadian Broadcasting Corp cld do. Not like aggressive, just a dispassionate and very clarifying. Even elegant. Quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHoZ...

Here's a snippet of the story linked below from the Halifax Examiner's Morning File (in case you're not a subscriber). Why are we still refusing blood/tissue/organ donations from gay men? What is the actual, medical reason? Oh right, it's homophobia. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

so, this made my stomach drop, but it is so important to read. And if you didn't already know that investigative journalism is NS is really only coming out of independent news sources like the Halifax Examiner, now you know. Please support them if you can!

I think a heat pump in Alberta is the first major problem (after buying a Tesla). Pretty sure it’s not going to work for most of the Winter when heat pumps are less effective below -10C. That’s a lot of energy to heat a β€œtruck” in Alberta. Here in NS, I’d be worried about rust & finding winter tires

Because Houston called a snap election during a postal strike, any student studying out of province or resident who works a fly in and out job and was away for the 10 days before election day was unable to vote. No voter cards, no way to send them in. Good thing he instituted fixed elections right?

Left X over a year ago and finally decided that Threads might not be enough or the right place for me so here I am once again trying a new platform. I see so many familiar names that I’ve missed while entrenched in Bookstagram bliss. I love the bliss, but also excited for the discourse again!
