On this date in 1725 Paul Mascarene, as the delegate of Nova Scotia, was in Boston to sign aTreaty. Although not the first treaty involving the British colonial authorities and the First Nations peoples of Eastern Nova America it is the one regarded as the foundation for subsequent treaties

In 1943 in Halifax and Canada sugar was rationed. However an extra ration of sugar was released for those with Rhubarb patches. The coupon expired at the end of may. That seems early for peak rhubarb season

Dropped in to see Wentworth falls earlier today. Lots of water, no blackflies … even if there were … it always a nice stop.

I know a bit about where this is heading but it’s fascinating and frightening to read how a moral panic unfolds.

The Parrsboro shore is definitely worth a drive. The road to Cap D’Or is a challenging ride, twisty, hilly, muddy, eroded and it makes most dirt roads seem palatial. But the reward at the end is great

Morning bike and swim. The water in Albro Lake was at 24 C this morning. This seems warm for lake water in Dartmouth at this stag of the season. I wonder how long the bacterial count will be in the recommended zone….

Went to see Met’s Carmen at Cineplex. Carmen is crushed by a baseball bat swung by Don Jose to end her life, her relationship with someone else and the opera. Great music, production (set in near to current time period), musical actors and performers but troubling story for today’s times.

The discussion has been so focused on building in bad places that impacts like dredging, infills, clear cuts to the water have been missing from the debate
It won't tell you that because of the lack of the Coastal Protection Act, a guy a kilometre down the shore hardened his property, resulting in currents that erodes away your land WHICH WOULDN'T HAD OTHERWISE FLOODED, even with sea level rise.

The stillness of the picture does not reflect the chill of a gusty wind over Baie Verte. If it wasn’t frozen I would probably have been drenched by surf
