Masks have been reinstated in NB, PEI, and NFLD health care facilities. NS Health & the IWK have been completely silent. On May 7, 2025, a memo was sent to Sr. Leadership stating universal maksing might return in response to "seasons of increased viral respiratory activity." We are in that season.

My daughter and 5yr old have received a Covid vaccination in Ontario. In Nova Scotia - nothing…! Why isn’t the vaccine available prior to students returning to school and university? In towns and cities where the population expands due the the arrival of students this would have big major benefits.

Oh Joe. A giant. Kind and patient as a director, as a castmate. Intimidating in his talent. Unexpectedly funny. His Salesman... 💔
Really feels like a particularly sad last few weeks for Canadian theatre, with the loss of yet another great artist that affected so many people, on stage and off. Rest in peace Joe Ziegler. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Got to a point where the only thing worth smuggling over the Canadian border into the US are EGGS. They are not always in one basket and not always what there’re cracked up to be. Omelette you go now…!

This bird, which is rare for the Bay Area, was spotted in last year's Christmas Bird Count. No one has seen it for 7 weeks, and a lot of folks have looked. And then it just showed up in the same spot 2 days ago.
