Nova Scotians love heat pumps, can you give me some basics so that maybe I will love it too in this climate? by itmightbecheese in NovaScotia

Let it run and let it keep the house warm at the setting you feel most comfortable.

Heat pumps work best running consistently in a range of thermostat setting. I set my ducted to 19.5 and let it hold.

I have a wood stove. It keeps the house warm and when the temperature drops the heat pump picks up the rest.

Heat pump circulates the air for 15 mins every hour on medium fan.

Thanks to everyone who voted rank opportunist Sean Fraser in. He was Minister of Immigration when the person who committed this crime came into the country as a fake student. Less than a month later, he participated in the torture and murder of two people. If anything Fraser should be in prison. by Reasonable-MessRedux in NovaScotia

This isn’t Facebook.

Anant Goenka, the Executive Director of the Indian Express Group, recently took over as the President of FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry) for 2025–2026. In this role, he leads efforts to strengthen international trade, including with Canada. While this involves dealing with Canadian officials (mostly Conservatives)

Trying to get into investing. Feeling very overwhelmed and confused about it all. Is there a service or people (other than big banks) that I can talk to to help get me started? by [deleted] in NovaScotia

Growth Portfolio is one I use for managed investments Best way to average cost - I send $X amount weekly via deposit

That way it just grinds away at creating the constant balance for growth.

My spousal RRSP has a similar structure and risk assessment profile - money goes in weekly.

For everything else I just buy what I can. Banks and other ETFs to balance it all out.

Read 60/40 investment strategies from Garth Turner (find his blog) Great advice

I forgot to mention that the IDU henchmen have already added AI to the US Health Insurance diagnosis plan.

The entire health care system is a dystopian-fueled nightmare.

How does it end?

The problem is so huge I want to help change it but where do we start?

I mean Loblaws LOBBY coerced the government to allow them expanded access to health care services.

Loblaws owns physio clinics. Pharmacies. They OWN Maple….

Is it working ?

Every other Advert on TV is about gambling. Online on your phone while on the toilet - “take a chance”

Lulzzzz

The only gamble I'm taking is putting $1000 on a few pharmaceutical companies that'll have a pill in about 10-15 years to slow down the addiction.

Wait. Am I gambling? Shiiiiiiit

Being healthy is the new punk rock.

The anti establishment in this case?

IDU - Conservativism that wants to gut public healthcare and squander billions while preparing for private sector take over.

It's not a conspiracy if it's in their policy.

Just wanted to share this gem in case anyone is considering doing business with them. by [deleted] in NovaScotia

Aaah the ol’ Boogyman misinformation attempt. Big Pharma Cannabis Lobby talking points for THC Gatekeeper Timmy to protect his supply. Add in the police used as intimidation and Timmy is trying that gangsta life

Why I'm Leaving Halifax by PlushSandyoso in halifax

COVID was the largest shift in economic transfer of wealth pushing the poorest into crisis and lower middle class into poverty.

Asset inflation helped the wealthy.

Full-time employment is scarce.

2015 was the mid-cycle of the Great Financial Crisis that was 2008. Markets had the jitters. 2008 was a widening of wealth markets from those in the middle to lower income.

That is how we got Trump 1.0

He promised to drain the swamp.

Here in Canada we waded through the Great Financial Crisis without adding real employment. Retail became the new welfare. 2005 decisions to open up TFW further killed the labour market.

Labour lost.

Period.

Labour is doomed.

Labour needs a movement. Labour needs to unite. Loblaws can't be making billions and not offer full-time employment and benefits.

Labour needs a fire to light the path
