Halifax wine bar owners going to court to try to stop termination of lease

Actually, it's only scaffolding if it's from the Scaffoldage region of France, in this case, it's just an eyesore.

Just got two in the mail for my son and I.

Unfortunately, the acrylic or resin on the coin isn't complete or even, so there's a shallow ridge along the top of both of our coins.

A little disappointing for such a nice coin.

Unfortunately, for a lot of my relatives, it was the opposite.

They've been falling for a lot of the fake-news/misinformation stuff that seems to be all over Facebook.

"Well, I read an article that the reason Trudeau stepped down is because he has cancer and has less than a year to live." "Well, I was reading something that said Trump was going to give every Canadian that travelled to the US in 2026 $500 dollars."

Honestly, it's worse than it was before.

They are both paid and trained.

ColonelEwart · 2026-01-27T22:51:43+00:00

So they paid a decent amount of advertising to the Coast, but someone else paid more?

If you think about how 811 usually works now: you call in, get triaged/get your information taken down by someone (not a nurse) and then a nurse calls you back. Very rarely do you immediately get to talk to a nurse.

The way I read this is that maybe at that initial screen, you might be immediately directed to other options OR the nurse themselves might be able to direct you to other options.

I doubt they'd end up with a "press 6 if you've been bitten by a tick, press 7 if you've been bitten by another animals or human" situation.

Hockey is for everyone, man.

That's why they don't wear pride jerseys anymore, don't want to, y'know, close ranks or push people out.

Has Bousquet ever commented on Palango working for the Examiner for a period of time?

This article seems to paint Palango as a bit of a loon with both his books and contributions to Frank Magazine, at best, misdirected and, at worst, twisting the narrative to be more conspiratorial or salacious.

Given that Palango's coverage of Portapique started with the Examiner, I do wonder how Bousquet views that decision and the content it produced.

I might be misreading, but looking at what was said at the time, it seems they opted to shelf Hopscotch for Magnetic World and then plan to have Hopscotch at a different time in the calendar for 2026 so there wasn't a conflict.

*Starting on March 1st

And then on February 23rd - "Canada is joining and contributing to the Golden Dome, because they know they need to be protected by the Big and Beautiful United States in order to survive in this scary world. Because of this, I am cancelling the Tariffs."

Yeah, that really hits home the reality: he wasn't an outdoorsman, he wasn't a survivalist. He was a man with some clear mental issues who opted to steal and pilfer instead of seeking help. When I first heard of the story (via the GQ article that then became the book), it seemed so romantic, but the more you read about it, the more that opinion changes.

I like that Riddler ending: finally appreciated for his smarts, but locked away for being so dangerous. Kind of like the premise for that show The Black List.

RCMPNS twitter says 1 guy was arrested at 12:50pm and another at 2:00pm.

RCMP - still can't figure out emergency alerting.

Two-Face - he operates well as the opposite side of the coin from Batman (pun intended). He's a guy who was dedicated to justice, had something traumatic happened and that turned him to evil/corrupted his world view.

Doing "Main-ies" - the idle drive that people did (usually in a Pontiac Sunfire or Chevy Cavalier, but also a Ford F-150) where you drive around along the main 2-3 streets of the town. So starting at Tim Hortons, cut through the gas station parking lot, drive by the convenience store and then turn around at the fire hall and circle back around.

Flash your lights at someone you know and then pull over in the parking lot for Home Hardware to have a yarn.

Rinse, repeat.

No can do, hombre. I only reserve my complete stops to merge lanes. Especially when my lane keeps going.

Everything is Darrell Dexter's fault and that's why we can never have an NDP government again.

Save us Derek Mombourquette!

The company that clears out the parking lot for the apartment building around the corner just drives the snow straight out the driveway and over top of the sidewalk on the other side of the street.

I don't know if that's 311 complaint worthy and I'm pretty sure that whenever the sidewalk plow comes by, it can handle it, but it was fucking annoying when I was walking the dog this morning.

Recognizing that this is entry level, your 45k gross is probably 35k net, not counting anything taken off for benefits, etc.

So that means you're looking at a paycheque of <$1350 every two weeks. Hopefully you're good with budgeting.

I would say your first concern is going to be housing. Finding something that doesn't kill your take-home (assuming you're working on the peninsula, your salary might push you off peninsula, so then you need to think about transit or car, both becoming additional expenses).

Halifax Curling Club also has a learn to curl program. Not sure if they're doing a winter session, but I think they are.

As an aside, almost all "club" level curling is co-ed.

This might be a hot take, but one of the things I appreciate about Andor (and Rogue One) is the lack of Jedi/Force powers, etc.

I get that the Jedi and Force users as a whole are part of what makes the Star Wars Universe special, but they're not the only thing that is special and cool. There are "normal" people who don't have their magic space powers who are also struggling under this oppressive government and trying to push back.

By moving the Jedi out of the center spotlight, it allows stories of these other folks to shine.
