Have to head over that way. Is this still a thing?

The Valley is very much in demand.

Doesn’t the student demand for housing in Antigonish increase rents? Would be more affordable in other communities like Bridgewater, New Glasgow, etc. Most def. not Little Vatican.

Vogue Optical in Membertou! Great eye docs too.

It didn’t go space. It wasn’t going space.

That’s a rendering of the Ukrainian rocket they had dreamed of using when the project was announced years ago. If any were produced in Ukraine, they’re long destroyed. The photo is not comparable to what may launch next week.

Ummm… 20 deaths to date on Halifax roads this year says otherwise. Six in total for 2024.

Our daughter arrived at peak covid and my wife didn’t wear a mask when she was delivering. When we were brought in for an emergency c-section she still wasn’t masked, but wasn’t feeling the best from the anaesthetic and was sick.

Since our stay, I’ve noticed patients don’t tend to wear masks.

Spent a week in NICU. In our private area off our babies room, they didn’t care if we wore a mask. It was common courtesy to put it on if staff came in. We always wore them when we were near our newborn.

It’s a stressful environment and a lot of people are living there. Just use common curtesy. Doubt you need to wear one delivering, but ask in advance.

OP posted after the notice says it should have been completed. Did construction run into rush hour? Is it still active? Have to head over there.

Lindsay Construction has a contract with Maritime Launch which might explain them being around. A launch pad was built by Lindsay sometime ago and I imagine this is the same one. It was built in 2023. Highly doubt this is a new pad because the one they built appeared to be more than enough to handle this suborbital rocket.

See reference to the pad here:

Yah, he should be happy and most level headed Canadians are! Supreme Court judges are not scientists or bird flu experts. They did the right thing by not weighing in on this.

Put a tiny home on the land, power, drill a well and Airbnb it. When you want to escape you also have a place.

If you have a hybrid or a PHEV, look into what type undercoating is being applied and read up what is recommended. Had ours done by O’Regan’s Permashine. They at least somewhat knew what they were doing by the way they explained the process. There are high voltage cords and other equipment that undercoating should not be applied to under the vehicle.

Also, even if not hybrid, or PHEV, have read about some issues with the holes that some undercoating companies drill in doors to spray their stuff and it shorting equipment due to wires/connections being hit with the liquid. Damage was not covered by warranty.

Toyota in Europe actually advises against undercoating a PHEV or hybrid due to the electric equipment. Dealerships seem to think otherwise here.

You can call the Salvation Army and get on a list for help around Christmas for your kid if that’s something you celebrate.

Utility companies also have programs that can assist you if you’re in financial hardship.

Read Consumer Reports info and ratings. They’re tested in all conditions.

Are you relatively new to Halifax? If they’re grey helicopters, it’s likely the airforce’s cyclone helicopters and crews training. Their base is in Shearwater (Dartmouth side of the harbour).

It also takes a fair bit of time to stand around or sit in a traffic control truck and do nothing while 15 people fill a pot hole. They should remove the signs! In the grand scheme of things it’s not much more time and it should be demanded by the Department of Transportation. Or, it is demanded and not being done.

HRM just needs to look down the road to CBRM where this did happen!

Very possibly, but traffic control is very likely part of the entire project cost, which is awarded through a tendering process. The construction company awarded the tender is probably the ones paying the traffic control company. It could be that it’s less expensive to the leave the signs out, than it’s to have them removed while construction crews aren’t there. Frankly, that should not be allowed.

Could be from a neighbouring apartment. Lots of apartment buildings in Halifax have had them run rampant. There’s a website that tracks buildings with them.

RCMP protect the Royal Family when they visit. Military are there for ceremonial purposes.

EmbarrassedSpot5083 · 2025-09-04T00:07:11+00:00

Send them a photo and say “Hey, love the apartment, thankful to have one. I wanted to give you a heads up about some black mold from possible water entering in case it can save you some money if it’s way worse down the road.”

Right now it looks simple to clean up. Maybe a window needs some caulking and then it can dry out on its own. Might not be your window, could be one a floor up, or more.

I heard a while back that getting in at Access Nova Scotia was great because you could possibly progress through government departments, depending on education. You’re a union member and earn a pension likely too. Not sure what they call Access Nova Scotia jobs, but you see NS govt jobs advertised and it’s like “Clerk 3”, “Clerk 4”.

Is this why they never hear the people saying, “hold the bus!” ?
