The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.

How to improve Halifax traffic, provincial government edition:
1) Incentivize more drivers to go through two ridiculous bottlenecks to cram more cars onto the Peninsula.
2) Gaze in astonishment when you make things WORSE.
3) Blame bike lanes because you're angry that cyclists keep passing you.

One was near the HFX-Side, and that was earlier.
But NOW - another collision at the former tolls of the Macdonald. Expect big extended delays #HFXTraffic

Someone on CBC just mentioned that there might be up to a ten percent increase in municipal taxes and questioned if it was worth it.
I'm a suburban homeowner.
For me, we're talking about an increase of $12 a month.
Just let me PAY. Hell, let me pay twice that.
Give me my municipal services!

in her hospital ward there’s a “suggestion” board just outside the nurses’ station asking how to improve care—i wrote that all staff should be in respirators to minimize nosocomial infection. my note was rather conspicuous as it was the only one in red ink. when i returned hours later it was gone
It’s like this disease just disappeared from the public consciousness.
my 86-yr-old mother in early stages of dementia has developed a rattly chest cough after being in hospital for a week. she has 5 broken ribs (in multiple places) from being struck by a car at crosswalk. docs and nurses are concerned about complications from pneumonia, influenza … COVID? not so much
