Tensions rise over potential golf course in #WestMabou

Anger with the #NovaScotia government is growing as Cabot Golf tees up another bid for a possible development. The land is protected by law and has previously been deemed out of bounds for such proposals.

Really wonder why Canada has an 'AI minister' when AI's energy- gobbling is one of its main features. Sure, burn the planet. Bright and shiny rules.

The rumours have been swirling (we live in the area now) for a few weeks. I’m also now a reporter with the local weekly and was asked just the other day to do an investigative piece on the rumours. No need now…

Always surprises me when so-called supporters of individual freedom on the far-right slide effortlessly into govt control of minority human rights when it suits them. Even to the point of overriding the Constitution that is supposed to apply to all Canadians.
Trangender youth are the canaries.

The photo is a vintage-style title card or promotional poster for the TV series *Lorne Greene's New Wilderness*. It features a foggy, ethereal landscape background with blurred silhouettes of trees and a misty horizon in shades of green and gray, evoking a sense of remote wilderness. Bold, yellow sans-serif text overlays the scene: the main title "LORNE GREENE'S" arched at the top in large letters, "NEW" stacked above "WILDERNESS" in the center, and a small "TVO" logo in the bottom right corner. The overall aesthetic has a 1980s TV broadcast feel, with slight graininess and warm color tones.

On Sept. 14, 1982, Lorne Greene's New Wilderness debuted on CTV.
Hosted by the Canadian acting icon, he wanted the program to promote environmental awareness. During its five seasons, the show picked up many awards.
This is the story of that show!

Shocked by Epstein’s birthday book? That culture was everywhere before feminism | Rebecca Solnit Feminism exposed the ubiquity of child abuse, rape, sexual harassment and domestic violence – and helped fight that culture

Her name was Melissa Hortman. Her husband was Mark Hortman. Their dog was named Gilbert. 
Their assassination left two children without their parents and her state without a beloved former Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

As the MSM remembers Charlie Kirk and speaks out against his horrific assassination, let’s recall the Minnesota Congresswoman who was assassinated on June 14th 2025 along with her husband and their dog.
Do you even remember her name?!

Sometimes, the best rewilding experiments are unintended.
