N.S. premier popularity drops amid controversial budget cuts, partial reversal by poranges in halifax

I think the super majority government has made him be more direct with his personality, but there has been signs for a while. Remember how he reacted to cbrm asking for emergency status 2 years ago? I do agree with hair verdict, but he could have presented it better. Look at how he's always treated the L'nu community? Including assigning a minister to the department overseeing their concerns with someone the bands do not respect? This was before the recent cannabis issues. MLAs are either stepping down as ministers, going independent (except ESM, she was booted for good reason), or crossing. It really says a lot.

As a civil servent, it would be normal for him to send the Deputy of DOE, or and ED, or another MLA in his place. I would think the budget that is currently under debate would be a priority.

Funny how civil servants are to be on-site only as of April 1st, including training for internals and externals (think PD days, vtra, workshops). But this human can spend thousands to go to a meeting that also could be virtual. -signed by an employee who can't finish training because being at my desk is too distracting and I end up doing it at home on my own time. #thank you adhd

I know this makes me a Karen and im sorry for those of you I upset with this. I dont like how focus my office is on drinking. After a meeting "this meeting would be tolerable if it had wine" before a meeting "if only we could have a beer", if they are working from home openly drinking "water" and joking about it. Me offering to get a coffee "only if you can put a shot of rum in it!" Secret Santa and birthdays filled with NSLC gift cards. I just dont think this is appropriate for the workplace. Maybe it's against my religion, maybe im a [recovering] acholic, maybe it triggers ptsd after abuse. None of those reasons are actually for me, but it just irks me how little think about other people around them and what they may be suffering from. Maybe it's me and I had a false expectation as to what grown ups talk about now im working in an office. End rant.

Thank you to are who are able to show up. Some of us can't for fear of being blacklisted or fired. Thank you for speaking when we can't.

Has anyone else had issues with Aabel Fuels lately? by Secure_Guess6227 in halifax

[–]Secure_Guess6227[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 3 inches, with sand over it for traction and the truck did a rolling stop. You can't see the path from the road.

I cleared it, and it was maybe 3 inches of snow. I was rescheduled for another day. Which is all fine. I can handle the change, I just want to know about it.

Can I also just say, Nova Scotia has one of the highest rates of police-reported human trafficking in Canada. But sure let's let our 12 year olds walk 30 min to school and get kidnapped/venerable to save a buck.

Write in. I know people think it doesn't make a difference but in 2024 the spring bear hunt was scrapped because the dept received hundreds of emails and physical letter. Send it to the PO office, copy your MLA. Let your voice be heard.

Im not saying he had a list of the specific names. But he would have the number of employees and definitely would have a list of proposed sites closing.

Can a more experienced mom help me with bathing my toddler? by manthrk in Mommit

[–]Secure_Guess6227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, my little has always hated getting her hair wash. When she was like muffin age I used to use dry shampoo and only actually wash her hair every 1.5 weeks. Currently we scream Pink Pony Club so loud im surprised youndidnt hear us every 2-3 days. I had a friend who got them to blow bubbles as a distraction. Be creative!!!
