One year ago in Nova Scotia, we were paying $1.45 a litre for gas. As of midnight Friday, it is $1.96. Someone is making a hella lotta of money, but it's not taxpayers.

"We've seen a number of provinces lower the bar in terms of their assessment of projects. I'm certainly not opposed to this idea of one project, one assessment … but we need to make sure that we adhere to a certain national standard." Houston's strategy in a nutshell. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Forced into early retirement in the kind of economy where the price of gas is too high to drive to the lake for a hike is quite a trigger for existential angst.

Is this just an AI hallucination, or might we actually have a warm weekend ahead?

In all things concerning Canada, it's best not to ask too many questions.

Carney announces environment to be eliminated as cost-cutting measure

At some point you really have to marvel at how stupid everything is.

I have a love-hate relationship with g00gle - right now it's love because it found me a short video to fix the sound issue with my tv's HDMI connection.

Stopped by the Esquire Restaurant about an hour ago for a coffee with a friend - walked through the door and someone came out from the kitchen and said they had to shut the place down for a while and everyone had to leave. My mind went to "gas leak" or "bomb threat" - we hightailed it out of there.

This is what I saw when I looked at myself in the mirror at 4 am this morning

You can lead an idiot to knowledge. But you can't make him think.

There’s so much going on in the world I momentarily forgot my own country is trying to enact a law that bypass’s security and privacy protections.

The fantastical visionary Russian artist Nicholas Kalmakoff (1873-1955) died impoverished and went largely unnoticed throughout his life as a painter. His work was rediscovered in a Paris Flea Market in 1962. His story is a great one to be told. Les Femmes des Nadjis, 1911 #Symbolism #Occultism

This one made me truly laugh out loud, followed shortly by the tingling ring of truth in my ears; good one Bruce! @mackinnonart.bsky.social

I could be wrong, but I don’t feel like ‘American donut chains’ are what Canadians are clamouring for right now…

😂💙😂 good morning Happy Tuesday #jokesters

You know you're having a bit of a day when the voice recognition on your phone keeps typing "Anne" instead of "an" in the middle of a sentence, so you SCREAM into the microphone trying to correct it. I think my neighbours now realize they're living next to a woman on the edge.

Oh Halifax, exceptional in all the wrong ways...

I would agree with that statement; we've fallen for too many "get rich quick" schemes promoted by certain governments and private industry; they've all involved heavy use of public money for private gain, belief in the "trickle down effect". We have quite a history.

Watch the video clip in this piece. Audrey Tobias, the 89-year-old peace activist who refused to fill out the census in 2013 and *why* she refused. She was a woman way ahead of her time.

This is Lily. She’s been accused of drinking her mom’s slushie. Will not be taking any questions at this time. 14/10 (IG: iceedoglilly)

WHO warned that the decision by the US not to follow the guidelines re hantavirus outbreak "may have risks". Dr J Bhattacharya, acting head of the CDC said he did not want to cause public panic, insisting that human-to-human transmission was rare and it should not be treated like the Covid virus. 😶

Do many people know that the ICC judges, once sanctioned by the US, almost immediately lost access to credit cards, google, amazon & microsoft cloud, etc. www.ft.com/content/4c3a...

How much traffic could there possibly be on a 4 lane bridge at 5:28 am on a Sunday?!

"U.S. Senator says Canada should ..." is where I stopped reading.

You know your old when you long for the SNL days when you could laugh over Belushi or Murray or Gilda…and now…when the opening skit has members portraying the current administration and SCOTUS drinking in a bar cracking up over Trump having a third term you want to puke or cry.

Meanwhile on SNL 😂 Hegseth, Patel, and Kavanaugh walk into a bar...
