Halifax bar closes after sewage backup, but it’s unclear who will pay to fix it - Halifax | Globalnews.ca A sewage backup at Rumours Lounge and Cabaret on the weekend has forced the bar to close. The owners say the building's landlord says it's not their responsibility to repair it.

Rumours Cabaret on Lower Water Street are struggling with sewage flooding their business. They say this issue has been a long-term problem, but on Saturday, they discovered the problem was much worse.

Now they're struggling with the property owner to fix the problem.

What they don't tell you is that immediately afterward, they do all the drugs and shoot all the guns.

A tale of two cities “Hello!” I shout, as I descend a short embankment from the road into a makeshift campsite on the backside of Seaview Park. I’d been drawn...

Eddie Carvery has died. I wrote about him in 2008.

Our diversity lens is very thorough. We asked ourselves: are they all related? The answer was only mostly. That’s MacProgress.

They're the worst. All the best in recovery. The advil-tylenol liver-killing combo works wonders.

I can't speak towards any of the specifics about the Tumbler Ridge tragedy, but I do know that besides the terrible loss of life, there is a community reeling, people broken, and more mental anguish to come. I sure hope the necessary and considerable mental health supports will be provided.

I understand the desperation of some journalists (it's mostly editors, let's be real) to get a scoop when a tragedy happens.

But maybe we shouldn't be interviewing kids a day after they experienced what might be the scariest thing to happen in their lifetime.

We can wait a bit on that one.

Props to the guy who wore the sick ass cowboy hat to the budget committee. That's called style, folks.

It's a conspiracy man im tellin ya

Why do controllers suck all of a sudden? Prices go up, build quality goes down.

I posted a rant on my Substack of how terrible controller build quality has gotten over the last decade. It's mostly my personal experience, but the internet seems to agree with me in many of these instances.

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate

The fuck is this.

Our two largest parties are 1) actively cheering illegal kidnapping of a president and 2) acting like a kicked dog in the face of US aggression.

It’s pathetic cowardice, not leadership.

And this cowardice puts our country at risk.

We need actual options in the next election.

We'll need pics pls

That's also what totally turned me off from seeing it. This might just be me, but it also seems so overmarketed.

Is marketing the lives of vulnerable people the mission of Souls Harbour? - Halifax Examiner As the gospel says, "do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that your giving may be in secret."

I wrote a commentary on Souls Harbour inviting media to its dinners and to interview and photograph its clients. I quote the gospel, too.

Any Halifax political experts know why the mayor’s year-end highlights reel depicts him with a provincial minister in his underpants?

Fillmore and his comms are so weird.
