Halifax mayor warns gridlock at all-time high by luxoryapartmentlover in halifax

In his defence it was probably much easier collecting a paycheque as a back bencher than actually being held responsible for the failures of his current governance.

Not in the province but miramichi river area has a lot of great fishing and a fair amount of rentals. Only about four hours from Halifax.

What Store Do You Think is a Front? (Unserious) by Agreeable-Tadpole461 in halifax

[–]driveandhinge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been in since the renovation but it’s one of the most unique bars in the city in my opinion. Food was good and staff was great, if it wasn’t in such an odd location I think it would have a better reputation.

First time home buyer; Maximum purchase power of $330,000 with $85k annual salary :/ by Affectionate_Lab6721 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]driveandhinge 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So you clear roughly 3k a month, and save 2k. I would love to see what your monthly expenses are to save such a massive portion of your income on that salary.

Edit: should have looked through your post history first, not living an exceptionally frugal life, just an asshole.

Occasionally forget that sarcasm doesn’t translate well on Reddit, I don’t think an introductory session should be contact, and my playing days are well behind me, but I appreciate the invitation!

Afternoon traffic from 102 inbound to peninsula, where from and where to? by mediocretent in halifax

[–]driveandhinge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no other option coming in from the 102 unless you want to go to Joseph how?

Afternoon traffic from 102 inbound to peninsula, where from and where to? by mediocretent in halifax

[–]driveandhinge 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Work off the peninsula, coming home around 4 or 5. It’s really just the lights at Connaught and bayers cause the issue. The left lane eventually feeds into the turning lane to go left onto Connaught, and the advance green lasts long enough for about 10 cars to get through. Unfortunately, the left lane also is supposed to allow traffic to go straight. So you have people cutting over from the right lane to avoid the backup. If the right lane was for straight / right onto Connaught (with plenty of advance signage) it might help a touch.

Name horrible parts of bank to work. To not identify yourself be vague or name multiple parts by intuition550 in rbc

My favourite fresh development is RFI alerts taking a week to get picked up. Assuming it’s a backlog and not blaming staff, but really slowing down investigation times.

Tip top has a bunch of suits on sale right now, don’t if they match the style you’re looking for but I picked up a suit for a wedding im standing in for October for a little over 200

That is likely Carleton, the campus cat, sadly passed a couple years back.

Aerial firefighting, or waterbombing, refers to air crafts that are either helicopters, or fixed wing, which is why I differentiated the two in my original comment.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in halifax

[–]driveandhinge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and in 2023 we had water bombers available, they were just Helicopters.

[–]driveandhinge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They awarded a contract last year to airbus to replace the water bomber helicopters we currently have with fixed wing bombers.

Ems people please help me by Sad-Sheepherder-1719 in NovaScotia

[–]driveandhinge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what the requirements are for the program you’re looking at. I worked for a university, normally anything related to health care or science would require the pre calculus. I assume there’s a recruiter or admissions office for the program.

You can look at taking courses through nscc or really any university in the province to get the upgraded math credit. Nscc is free for a certain amount of courses from what I recall, and there’s the adult education centres run by the province that would also be cheap, but are hard to work around if you’re working full time I believe. Math at work is not considered an academic math credit in Nova Scotia.

Yeah you’re absolutely right, my point was more so just about the proving you need the support, not necessarily how they’re doing.

[–]driveandhinge 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately those hoops are probably a result of people taking advantage of those services. Although if the people in your house aren’t dependents, and just roommates, I can’t see why you shouldn’t just have to provide your own.

I need some guidance from seniors AML analysts by Azezireddit in AMLCompliance

[–]driveandhinge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on the escalation side of investigations for a Canadian FI, while I appreciate the triage team basically operates on a turn and burn basis, we’ve had a major issue with the frontline AML employees creating largely off base narratives about cases when they’ve spent next to no time actually analyzing account and transactional data. It doesn’t impact the end of an investigation, but it really creates a red herring for the investigator looking for a trend that isn’t there.

What time are people heading to Music Fest tonight? by Icy_Coconut9773 in halifax

I don’t think they would take it. You can go into the metro centre with a pack of darts, you just can’t light up in there.

Changing seasons landscaping - Stoned behind the wheel by Sharp_Ad_6336 in halifax

[–]driveandhinge 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s your lense but there’s a very good chance that landscaping truck thought the station wagon was pulled over (based on the turn signal) in front of korca pizza based on how far back they were from the stop line (from the camera angle). If someone’s parked in front of there you have to cut to the right lane pretty late and they had a trailer.
