Cobequid you need to have a better process when registration system is down. I am already 30 min late for an appointment at 9 am….the poor patients coming in for later appointments will be even further behind.

Mind-boggling to see this depraved massacre of trapped, starving civilians still being described in this piece as a “war”.

By this standard, the concentration camps at Dachau & Auschwitz were really war zones.

NS health needs better options. Arriving at 230 at Cobequid they are overcapacity - meaning you will not be seen before they close at midnight. The wait time on their website says 2 -3.5hrs….but we all know that the data on that website isn’t accurate.

If I had to guess for HRM, I would say 40mm total: 10cm snow, 10mm frozen ice, 10 mm freezing rain followed by 10mm rain.
That would be a nightmare to remove... and I hope my guess is wrong. Not liking idea of moving snow and ice in the rain middle of night! Get enough snow? wait & snowblow? TBD
Jim do you have a prediction of when will be the best time to shovel to prevent icy mess? We did well last storm and our driveway is ice free. Let’s see if we can do it again 😎

#Halifax's CAO approved the purchase of two armoured F350s for Halifax Regional Police.

Why can't the CAO just say, "let's ditch X for good"?

It costs more to stay on the platform.

Supporting Canadian should also extend to the media we consume.

Postmedia is majority owned by a Republican-connected US hedge fund thanks to legislation the Conservatives pushed through AFTER they lost in 2015. It was a Republican takeover of Canadian media.
