Did you miss yesterday's paper? That's good news for us! Because an earlier version of this story said that the fuel spill cost $35 million instead of $3.5 million. Embarrassing, but at least we fixed it within 14 years.

I did a practice ride out to the Cole Harbour Heritage Park parking lot to assess whether I’d be able to do the @grandparade.bsky.social book club ride and I’m now optimistic about both that and being able to make it up to forest hills for shopping or to hit the library.

So just an update here it looks like Ghost's podcast integration is an additional cost and one that will run the paper about $490 USD a year based on listenership. So until I find a cheaper workaround or get a rash of new subscriptions, the early access to the podcast will be MIA for a bit.

Grand Parade Newspaper @grandparade.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

The migration to Ghost should now be complete. The last step was some subscription backend stuff which on our end appears to have gone off without a hitch. But if you start having any issues with your subscription, please reach out! The new podcast RSS feed will come Soon™

Is there a new paper out tomorrow? Yes, a physical paper will definetly be in Atlantic News or the @kingsbookstore.bsky.social Will an issue be in your inbox? About 99% sure on that one. Will there be a post on www.grandparade.news? Maybe! Switching to Ghost is going great, thanks for asking!

Hey, just a heads up, we are (finally) moving off of Substack, due to its nazi problem, its crazy high fees, its sex crime problem, and its 'let's not push out emails to people who aren't on the app' thing. Subscribers should not notice the change, except for some extra emails in the next week.

Fitting timing for me to have finally framed my interview with @thechronicleherald.bsky.social & my mention in @grandparade.bsky.social for my participation in Halifax's budget debates on the day of its ratification. I never dreamed I would be this invested in municipal politics, but here we are!

Three picture frames of various sizes with papers on display inside. One is a blue 8x11 copy of 'Grand Parade Newspaper'. Beside it is a 12x12 frame with a newspaper clipping of the Chronicle Herald newspaper. Under that is a quote from Hamilton the musical which reads 'you built me palaces out of paragraphs'
