I read a lot, talk a lot, and procrastinate A LOT. I am too laidback, but when poked, I will detonate. I like that my beliefs are fluid, but not my values. And, although I value my Canadian identity, I do feel a sense of responsibility to the world itself.

She doesn't like that he reveals his callousness but she's okay with the administration working to sell Americans a bill of goods on the Iran assault.

Practically every NS kid under 30 has painted this cat painting (and other Maud Lewis paintings).
I still have the one my grandson did 16 years ago - framed and hanging on the wall next to his Mom's childhood painting of Van Gogh's Starry Night.
They are both still proud of them.

Came across this today from another protest held 23 years ago.

Yes. That's why they thought it was the end of days - they could believe that, but not that the environmental disaster of blowing up oil facilities on the other side of the world would impact them.
It was dark enough that chickens went to sleep.

We had a dark smoky barely yellow sky that the sun struggled to light up here in Nova Scotia in 1991 during the Kuwait oil fires (Gulf War).
Some people literally fell to their knees thinking it was the end of days.
We will likely see it again in the very near future.

Carney quotes Greek historian Thucydides and Czech leader Havel in his speech.

Poilievre quotes Elvis.

I think this pretty much encapsulates the difference between them.

Then, most of us can die to make their lives better (their solution to the ecological deficit).

It only took 150 years to move from a grounded speaking tool to a psychologically-attached computer-brain interface.

Carney's question periods feel like conversations. He seems to welcome (serious) questions, and he is eager to share information - as much as his responsibilities will permit.
He seems to want us to know and understand the why behind his actions, so his sincerity, even if we disagree, shows itself.

Damn, how smart are Canadians that all of them can speak American fluently?!
Ask him to say, I'm an idiot, in Canadian.

I hear you!
Be careful not to get low on vitamin D (and probably B12) due to lack of sun.
If you get dizzy to the point of nausea, you likely need both.

N.S. bill cloaks identity of children who die in care from public | CBC News A new bill before the Nova Scotia Legislature is making changes to the way publication bans guard the identity of a child in the care of the province โ€” keeping them in place even if that child dies.

And just like that, Houston put the NO back into Nova Scotia.

No budget reconsideration.

Last I heard, he was saying we'll help with diplomatic solutions and, basically, restoration with peace and democracy in mind.

Does he really think that the most of the world doesn't know that it's because a small percent of unscrupulous people robbed the masses blind, especially in the US?

To everyone who Trump threatens to expose: better to ask the world for forgiveness than suffer in Trumpโ€™s hell.
(Or, be bullied across a line where forgiveness is no longer possible. )

Britian's right has lessons to learn from who? PP? The guy who lost abysmally?
He must one of those guys who think going to prison is the best way to learn how to crime successfully - learning everything you need to know from the people who got caught.

"Is austerity falling out of favour?"

I would love for it to do so, because I was already living an austere life - before I was threatened with austerity budgets.

Yeah, no, they didn't do that in the last Nova Scotia provincial election. The Premier called a snap election (right after the municipal election), didn't bother handing out voter cards, then he won with 23% of all possible voters, because 56% didn't vote, many due to the confusion undoubtedly.
