I have the original plans for Forest Hills if you ever want to see them! It’s pretty cool.

And they have no idea of the history of Forest Hills and that it was built to be a community with mixed incomes.

β€œCarney weighs in on…” β€œCarney says…” β€œCarney gives thoughts on…”

These people really think if Canada ramps up oil production and builds more pipelines it’s going to make gas cheaper for Nova Scotians.

Facebook is making me worry about this province. We need to order mandatory politics and economics classes for everyone.

Halifax is about to be destroyed because we have to pay for weekend parking downtown, since that’s what happened to every other city where people pay for parking. It’s just like that time letting dogs on patios caused all those horrible tragedies.

He always tosses people when they start to become a liability but unfortunately they always end up making a fortune afterwards. I assume she’ll get a payout and a new gig on Fox or a podcast deal or something. www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

And no one knows that you don’t start crossing after the countdown starts because it’s just not common knowledge.

Yeah. Because transit fucking sucks here and then they made it worse. I had to choose between a half hour drive to work or 1.5 hour unreliable bus ride. And there is literally no other way home if I work until 11pm.

-only build pedestrian bridges from parking garages
-put crosswalks right after blind turns
-provide absolutely no indication there is a crosswalk ahead
-inexplicably put crosswalks in places people primarily make left turns
-only have the walk sign appear for 2 seconds before light turns green

But they did so much already!
-they put those fun little orange flags at crosswalks!
-they lowered speed limits in illogical places and put speed humps wherever the dart landed on a map
-leave old crosswalks in places like Portland and Robie Streets where they have simply become dangerous

Election Live Updates: Crockett Concedes Democratic Primary in Texas; Republicans Head to Runoff

β€œThe Democratic contest between Mr. Talarico, who has called for a more compassionate politics, and Ms. Crockett, a partisan brawler, has in part offered a test of Democratic voters’ appetite for a less combative form of resistance to the Trump administration”

THIS IS OPINION, NYT.

These scammers could at least do some research before they try to claim to be the fraud department from a bank where I have no business.

Spice Girls’ lawyers threaten to sue Canadian entrepreneur over brand name A young Ottawa entrepreneur is being forced to change the name of her company after lawyers for the supergroup Spice Girls threatened to sue her for trademark infringement.

Well, yeah. Maybe she should have thought it through before she scaled up.

The hidden meaning of Mark Carney’s India travel itinerary The PM's trip is firmly focused on the economy over domestic diaspora politics.

Carney might be doing smart money things but he doesn’t seem to have a true grasp on India-Canada relations. And I do not see this turning out well. It never has.

Remember when Tim Houston first got elected and he was everywhere? Approachable and chatting with folks all over town to be like β€œI’m not like Stephen McNeil!” Yes you are, bud. You all are. Because every political party in Nova Scotia is exactly the same.
