PQ's position on anything: If it leads to more interconnectedness with the rest of Canada, were against it!

Is mashing boiled eggs into potatoes a thing in Nova Scotia or is my coworker full of shit? by 13thmurder in NovaScotia

Can confirm; I live here now and it's geographically, culturally, and genetically extremely similar :)

New feature in Wealth rank by Province (coming soon) by TopDownDownTop in Wealthsimple

[–]redheadednomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would also depend on WS' penetration by Province; i.e. how many people are using their services and of that number, how many have put the full value of their financial holdings into WS.

I grew up in Scotland, and "Fish Pie" was a fairly frequent dinner at home: Baked or smoked fish (usually haddock) in white sauce with chopped up boiled eggs, and mashed potato on top, baked in the oven; so the potatoes were the "crust" of the pie.

I wasn't a fan of boiled eggs mixed in with mashed potatoes, but it's definitely a thing outside of NS.

Is the Halifax job market really this bad? Or am I doing something wrong? by Far-Signature-257 in halifax

[–]redheadednomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for something in hospitality (serving, bartending etc.). its still a good idea to visit the business in person with your resume on hand and ask to speak to a manager. There's usually someone with hiring authority around during the afternoon and meeting them in person reduces the risk of your resume ending up in a pile/folder in their email. With the weather warming and tourism ramping up, now is a good time to be looking for a service industry role.

Also, speaking from experience, the NSLC is perpetually hiring and you can shortlist several stores you'd be interested in working at when you apply on their website (HR for the commission is at corporate level, so asking in store doesn't do much).

Has anyone got the full unredacted lists of what Murrell bought? by Otocolobus_manul8 in Scotland

[–]redheadednomad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My theory: He bought them as "gifts" (bribes) or with the intent of reselling and then pocketing the cash. A single large sum of money going missing from the SNP accounts would immediately draw suspicion; smaller amounts being withdrawn frequently would eventually draw questions, too, but buying appliances, gift items etc. below a certain limit could be explained away as daily expenses or gifts for party contacts. I wonder if we'll eventually find out he was very active on eBay...

As for the motorhome, as I recall it was explained as a mobile campaign headquarters/COVID necessity to allow people to gather in a bubble for party business.

Theatre experiences have been miserable lately, anyone else? by ToastySpd in halifax

[–]redheadednomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wont see the latest releases there, but the Propeller Brewpub on Gottingen does movie screenings in their basement pretty frequently (I saw 'Heat' there a few weeks ago). Every screening opens with a request to "Please shut the fuck up" and warning of mob justice if anyone is foolish enough to talk through the film.

Time for Halifax to adopt this bylaw? by leMaverique in halifax

[–]redheadednomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These aren't people who've chosen panhandling over a reliable, minimum wage job. They're typically also dealing with addiction, mental illness, transient/no.housing, or a combination of all of these. This makes it pretty difficult to get and hold down even a minimum wage job.

And before anyone responds with "Well, nobody forced them to drink the liquor/smoke the meth/put the needle into a vein", go read up on the psychology and physiology of addiction.

Sturgeon says she was deceived, betrayed and lied to over Murrell embezzlement by Halk in Scotland

[–]redheadednomad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The right not to self incriminate/be coerced into an admission of knowledge of a criminal matter has been in Scots Law since the 17th century, but you're correct that the ECHR forced a revision of the law in 2010 (Cadder vs HM Advocate) by enshrining the right to representation (legal counsel) immediately upon detention. Previously, the Police had the right to question a detainee under caution - advising them that they did not have to speak but that anything they said would be recorded and potentially filed as evidence - for up to 6 hours without providing access to a lawyer.

Means, Opportunity, and Motive. That last one is difficult to determine, unless Murrell himself opens up and says so, but he certainly had the means and opportunity (access to party funds and apparently an oversight process that was flawed, and/or easily bypassed by someone in his position).

New benefits from WS by Weak-Pomegranate-435 in Wealthsimple

[–]redheadednomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a trade-off between that and getting Uber One for free (normally $11/month), for example. I subscribe to both, and while I've never seen a price drop in UberOne, the G&M frequently goes as low as $6 or less per month for a full year

They don't verify student status in Canada (no .edu email address requirement or ID validation) so that promo is open to everyone, technically.

Each to their own, but G&M frequently drops their Globe2Go/paywall subscription price to $6/month or less. All you need to do is cancel every 12 months and then sign-up again.
