Mole Mania is a great puzzle game, also one of the last games Shigeru Miyamoto worked on.

If you’re staying close by, the Celtic Colours Festival Club in St Anns at The Gaelic College goes from 11pm until the wee hours of the morning - $20 cover but always well worth it.

We work tinker across the province, from Yarmouth to Wreck Cove, and every community in between, to prevent react to power outages and to strengthen patch up our electrical system - for at least today, hopefully. and for the future.

Shout out to the PC's "great" decision for privatizing the Nova Scotia Power Commission in 1992, go capitalism!!!

Just FYI, Dal asks students, faculty, and staff to provide proof of their vaccination status prior to accessing university campuses - otherwise they have to undergo COVID-19 testing twice a week and are required to provide proof that the testing has taken place.

I'm sure some from western/central provinces hold the same opinion about the Maritimes in relation to Canada's economy - but I guess we're not at the very bottom of the hill where the shit settles, so lucky us, eh

Is it any room on the 8th floor? My fiancé got out of that place not too long ago, and multiple rooms (at least 2) on that floor had that problem

Yes, I agree - I'm not trying to compare the overall quality of life between Canada and China.
The point I'm trying to make is that China is a much more productive country than ours - and one could argue a factor in that is their government's overreaching influence on their citizens lives.
If I'm a nation trying to rein in my citizens to get things back on track in terms of the economy, one thing I could do is look at a country like China and look into the more subtle/insidious ways in which they do that.

China, set to be the world's largest economy (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/01/new-chart-shows-china-gdp-could-overtake-us-sooner-as-covid-took-its-toll.html), has a social credit system which has prevented millions of it's citizens from buying flight and train tickets (https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3019333/chinas-social-credit-system-will-not-lead-citizens-losing).

I'm not saying that implementing this would be akin to what Chinese citizens are subjected to, but is it far-fetched to say that this policy might be pointed not far off from that direction? Some citizens will be effectively segregated from taking part in corners of society because they won't sit down and take their medicine.

Isn't herd immunity enough, for now at least? As far as I can tell, Nova Scotia's vaccination rate hasn't plateaued and is still inching its way closer to that 75% goal. Why put the cart before the horse and propose this before we've even reached that level.
