"According to a recent report from Celiac Canada, the cost of gluten-free food is 150 to 500 per cent more expensive than a normal gluten-containing diet in Canada." As a person with gluten sensitivity, I can attest to the exorbitant cost of gluten free products! At Sobey's my bread is $10:29/loaf!

Beautiful article by local journalist Suzanne Rent, Halifax Examiner, about how birds and nature and the wonderful people you meet while pursuing both can bring sanity and hope shining some light against the darkness of world events. #nature #birding #naturephotography #hope #novascotia #canada

Time to get back to trying to learn watercolor. Long Lake in January Halifax Nova Scotia Canada

I thought the streets might be icy this morning but I drove in Clayton Park and Purcell's Cove and the roads are just wet. At least where I was driving between 9:30 - 10:00 a.m. I'm not sure about the rest of HRM. Halifax Nova Scotia Canada

“Boiling lobsters alive will be banned in England under new animal welfare rules. The change follows a report that argued that cephalopod molluscs, such as squid and octopus, and decapod crustaceans like crabs do not simply respond to damage but feel pain as mammals do.”

Saturday was such a beautiful, sunny day to be out in nature. Today, not so much. It could be a bit slippery out there before it switches over to rain. ❄️🌨️☔ Long Lake, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada #winter #nature #photography

I wanted to Google "Bayer's Lake Theater Halifax" on my phone. I was using the microphone instead of keyboard to ask google. The microphone doesn't like my Maritime accent. It thought I said "bears like theater in Halifax". Here's Google's AI response. (Read til the end.) 😂 Oh AI.🤦 #halisky #ai

"There must be an expressed discussion forming a concrete plan, meaning what services are being offered, where and when they are to take place and the amount of consideration to be paid,” Because she didn't agree to sell herself for sex then HE hasn't committed a crime. Unbelievable!! #halisky 😡

2026 according to Halifax mayor: -further increase HRM population -increase property taxes >10% -but affordability and reducing congestion are his priorities - improve transit - cut services -all his 2025 problems were because of council - Premier Houston's interference is a good thing #novascotia

The judge in this case said "...it is incumbent to impose a sentence that emphasizes denunciation and deterrence, a sentence that condemns clearly the actions of Mr. Munro.” And then he gives him 4.5 yrs for SAing a 4 year old!! 😡 20 years would be more fitting to this crime.

Sounds amazing! Until you read carefully. 930 units at Shannon Park "which include" public/supportive housing. So how many? Will govt own the 930 units? Or are developers being paid $300 million to build then profiting from rent as well? news.novascotia.ca/en/2025/12/1...

One in four Nova Scotians are facing food insecurity this holiday season. That's a shocking and sad statistic. #halisky #canada #poverty #novascotia share.google/c1nViZ00pp0Q...

Only 9 more days until we start getting a little bit more daylight each day! 🥳 Sure it's only seconds to start but seconds turn into minutes and eventually minutes turn into hours. And then it's spring! 😀🌱 #halisky #novascotia #canada #wintersolstice #winter

This is all so annoying. Only until very recently, Canada had rules about where data could be stored and that it HAD to be on Canadian soil. Like, if you were a contractor with the government, you couldn't use OneDrive. Changing these expectations endangers all of us.

most artists/crafters don't have wealth benefactors. We just have the generosity of communities & individuals who see the joy in our work & want to invest in its growth & survival. Go find your favorite artist/crafter & support them, even if it's just a couple dollars. Help keep the dream alive.

"He is due to appear in Halifax provincial court at a later date." ... And where is he in the meantime? Still wandering the neighborhood threatening people's lives? There is a library, high school, Canada Games Center, and BMO Soccer Center in a very small radius of these 2 incidents.
