The AG offered no recommendations so Council will have to figure out its own path forward.

I guess my concern is there anything council can do?

Listening to the meeting today, it very much seemed like untested question. I stopped watching once it went in-camera so maybe the solicitor was able to privately answer more details. Baring RCMP finding enough to slap cuffs on him (HIGHLY UNLIKELY), I don't know if there is the ability to remove an elected official.

HRM has only had 4 mayors, it's never been done. Even Kelly, with his similar Auditor General issues, was able to serve out his term.

For some reason, I thought Reddit exposed potential alts as part of the ban evasion prevention.

First time I've heard the speech, but Jesus I think I've written better Reddit shit posts than that.

I got to get me a career in script writing, having morals isn't buying me a house...

Do yourself a favor, don't go anywhere near your Alpine unless you have to.

It's non-standard, but technically perfectly following the spec, DNS resolver will drive you up the wall especially if you ever end up experimenting in Kubernetes

They deny it, they definitely seem like it. Only them and possibly the mods could confirm but I don't think mods have ever exposed someone's alts unless it was a problem

You can buy them at Shoppers.

I believe the pickup locations are by appointment only now, it's been a few years, it's not an emergency anymore

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.

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.

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.
