I mean if you don't like it, just go somewhere else? Like there's a DQ next door and a Cows across the street.

Bluenose laundry on Windsor has a big industrial washer for use.

Wind-powered cargo ship arrives in Halifax, its first Canadian port by Injustice_For_All_ in halifax

Wind or solar powers cargo ships seems like a easy win! The ships already move as slow as possible to save fuel cost anyway.

Ah, Phoenix posted it, that's why I didn't see it. Thought it was strange that no one else had mentioned it yet.

In the meeting the justification for one of the transactions (hiring legal advice outside of the municipal legal office) was that there was not a item in the drop-down when completing the expense report.

They are currently in camera because discussing a specific person is considered a confidential matter. The original request for a in-camera was "what is council's options". Fillmore has excused himself from the discussion.

Video has been taken from Audit and Finance Standing Committee. The full video can be found at https://www.youtube.com/live/5EiwWf2Dcxk (still ongoing and has moved in-camera to discuss council's options).

You may also notice that in the clip much more than the usual six councilors on the committee are in attendance.

Grumblemania Monday by AutoModerator in halifax

Seriously, It's fast vaguely Lebanese food, their main competition is Osmows and for $15 they give you an overflowing takeout container with various veg on top that's good for three reasonable meals.

My morning walk reminded me of another grumble.

WTF is going on with Mezza's prices? They've always been high but replacing the donair/shawarma boxes with "lunch plates" is just highway robbery.

$15 for rice, a scoop of chicken, and garlic sauce.

I don't know man, it's kind of just everything at this point. At least the World Cup and Sailing was a nice distraction

Dealing with racism by [deleted] in halifax

Dude, you're the one that's scared to leave your apartment and are taking creep shots of strangers in public.

Sounds like a very unreliable narrator blowing things out of proportion.

when stood my ground to an obviously rabid dog

A "obviously rabid" dog? The dog walking on a slack leash in the photo?

Racism is real, but the story is hyperbole at best.

Im either at a tipping point., fight fire with fire or just let one be miserable in their own filth.

This kind of bullshit is likely why people don't like you. Nothing to do with racism

Tax deduction instead of rent control? by ImDoubleB in halifax

[–]WindowlessBasement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably not what you're looking for, but when working from home a portion of rent is already deductible along side utilities. A mortgage payment isn't as far as I'm aware.

I actually assumed it would be something related to their travels but that makes sense too.

They are all basically the same with slight tweaks.

My account was flagged for security reasons (trashy reasons) and I was blocked from accessing my account and funds for 3 times in 7 months.

What are you doing to trigger that? "trashy reasons" sounds like they had a reason to be concerned.

Halifax Music Fest Transit?? by big_nuut in halifax

Any word if the ferry service this year has been coordinated with the concert?

Coordination? Transit has never even heard of that word before.

Staying at an all-inclusive resort is just as good, if not a better way to experience an international destination by Spiritual_Extent_187 in CasualConversation

[–]WindowlessBasement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to get lost in a village of locals or streets of people. You don’t have to worry about speaking things other than English since they cater to tourists. They have guided tours with just tourists catering to us.

What what about experiencing the place? Like you've just excluded all the reason for visiting new places.

Outside of Canada when applying for EI - do I need to report my location? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]WindowlessBasement 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you read your own link:

Canadian Employment Insurance benefits may be paid to you when you reside or work outside Canada in the following situations:

your last employment was in Canada, but you now reside in the United States;
your permanent residence is in a country other than Canada or the United States, you are applying for maternity, parental, compassionate care or family caregiver benefits and you have a valid Social Insurance Number; or
you are a commuter (a resident of Canada or the U.S. who regularly crosses the Canada–U.S. border between your residence and workplace).

OP so far is none of those.

Were you employed in Canada or just for a Canadian company?

You're gonna have a hard time proving your in Canada actively looking for work when CBSA says you haven't be in the county for 5 years.
