Nova Scotia is taking the fight to MAGA.
Last March they pulled all the booze off the shelves. Now they are selling it all off in a Xmas firesale-with proceeds going to the food bank.
And then they are done with US purchases.

"American F-35s could be serviced in Quebec"
"Could be" - as in not likely.
The Gripens will be serviced in Canada, that is already guaranteed.
L3Harris could do it.
And they will be built in Canada for Canada and possibly other customers.
That is also guaranteed.

On this day in 1871, The Halifax School for the Blind opened with four students in attendance. After the Halifax Explosion in 1917, the building survived and the number of students increased due to how many people were blinded by broken glass.

A single warning can change everything. Before the atomic bomb, the Halifax Explosion was the largest human-made blast in history. This Heritage Minute tells the story of Vince Coleman, a railway dispatcher whose final telegraph message in 1917 saved hundreds of lives.

The Conservatives are upset for being called out on delaying criminal law reforms before the Justice committee.
Among the “important points” that Conservative MP Andrew Lawton needed to share was that he likes puppies and thinks they’re cute, though his wife prefers cats.
