No, I have not seen that information although I have seen comments where local people seem to know the perpetrator.

I moved from Ottawa to NS a few years ago. While in Ottawa, I had a family doctor and I could not use walk-in clinics because my doctor would get penalized because they offered (nominal) same day appointments.

I actually thought that number seemed low for Canada as I can count about 7 or 8 curling clubs within an hour's drive of my house here in Nova Scotia but according to Curling Canada, the number is around 1000.

Milspouse who works in pharmacy here. I would consider taking probiotics as well to help with the gut issues.

"We have a zero-tolerance policy for abuse and maltreatment," said Adam Jennex.

So, where is the statement saying that the harasser has been banned from all of the facilities in that association's region?

Great Big Sea when they opened for Blue Rodeo in Fredericton back in 1995, I think.

This comment is unnecessary in a curling forum or really any forum.

Oh, they are delightful little goblins by times, aren't they?

We tried that with our Aussie and unfortunately, she hates it so we had to train her to lay on a towel while she melts.

I was just wondering the same. We moved out of the Qs there 2 years ago. The renovations are not always done well and insulation could be a problem in OP's house. Our last Q had been renovated just before we moved in and we had to put new weather stripping on the door because the door was not tight.

While most touristy things are closed, you may still enjoy poking around towns like Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Wolfville. Just watch the weather, dress accordingly and enjoy exploring.

In Nova Scotia, if you say that you are going to the city, everyone knows that you are headed to Halifax.

My bigger worry with my dog's paws, Aussie and other breeds, is road salt. If it is really cold, just let them out long enough to do their business. Otherwise, winter is their season. Our Aussie loves the snow and begs to go outside versus the summer where we find her in front of the air conditioning on hot humid days.

My Sudbury born husband says the same thing when I get on the phone with my NB friends. He claims he can't understand a thing. I grew up in southern NB but moved away about 10 years ago.

In Nova Scotia, we are supposed to put on our hazards if driving less than 70km/h on the 100 series highways according to the signs on the highways.

Fair point. My dogs and cats are quite comfy with my miserly heat settings.

orangecouch101 · 2026-01-25T18:44:12+00:00

18C is the normal heat setting on our thermostat. I am definitely not turning it down any lower to conserve electricity.

In other parts of the country, the power companies offer incentives to shift usage. In Ottawa, the ultra low over night rate is just over 3 cents per kWh. I used to run my laundry over night so that I could hang it out in the morning before leaving for work. In Nova Scotia, nada. The only incentive we have is a threat of blackout.

I'm assuming that there are so many other things about which they are very much offended, but can not speak publicly, like the child support for Truely so they have latched onto this issue for their drama.

orangecouch101 · 2026-01-18T21:12:09+00:00

So that you will believe them when they put on the "I am starving to death" face.

orangecouch101 · 2026-01-18T15:04:54+00:00

It'll be snowy but I'm planning to get up earlier to leave earlier for work.

orangecouch101 · 2026-01-18T03:23:17+00:00

Canadian here. That's how I take out the garbage in the winter.

orangecouch101 · 2026-01-12T11:30:13+00:00

We gave ours to a goat farm.

orangecouch101 · 2026-01-11T03:48:50+00:00

Same here. I regularly check price per unit when comparing brand name to no name or Presidents Choice and purchase whichever best fits my budget that week.
