What I so miss about England... sound on.

There is so much potential in this…

These Before & Afters of Mont Royal look like the complete opposite of what we’re doing to Citadel Hill in Halifax.

A US oil tanker and a cargo vessel collided 10 miles off the UK coast this morning, with major environmental impact possible.

But we’re the ship of fools…

In other news it snowed again. Not a lot, but still… cannot winter be done with us now?

Mark Gerretson is a Liberal MP from Kingston Ontario. Like most Canadians he knows that Emperor Trump wears no clothes.

“One of the issues that we face as critical thinkers, citizens, commentators is to parse the spectacular and the provocative and the shocking from the structural and consequential changes.”

Bring back Dada.

For Lent I’m just giving up

Halifax area folks: Join GlassWinds, Nova Scotia’s all-female wind ensemble tomorrow night at the Halifax Public Library (Central Branch) for a night of music written by women and minority composers. GlassWinds, the first all female inclusive Wind Ensemble in Nova Scotia, was founded in 2019.

So much admiration for @novascotiaseasalt.ca Integrity in action. A small family run local business in Canada writing a pointed message to US businesses about their government.

We are all Janet Mills.

Current affairs.

It is that simple when they are simpletons. Every one, bring the pen sector to a standstill, now!

Make political and economic instability great again.

Ever wonder who won the Cold War? I think we’ve now got a definitive answer: Russia.

The ocean has frozen.

Who’s subsidising this ‘proper footwear’ then? Those on buses are not as well off as those in cars.

This winter malarkey has tones of lockdown at this stage.

For the love of god, it’s snowing again!! I cannot take any more!
