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.

They still brag about their "super majority". It disgusts me.

Nova Scotia (2024), 45% of voters turned out, and the current government only received less than 25% of all possible votes. This is not a mandate, and it shouldn't be treated as a victory. The PCs shouldn't have felt proud of such a win. www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/art... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

'Shocking': Nova Scotia has lowest voter turnout of all 2024 provincial elections
The weak voter turnout in Nova Scotia's election is "shocking" but not a complete surprise, says a political scientist after almost 66,000 fewer voters cast ballots compared with the 2021 vote.

She walked into my restaurant in 1989. Pretty, bespectacled, T-shirt and jeans and dining alone - except the book that shared the evening with her. It's hard to imagine someone who just got nominated for a Juno taking up so little space. I thought, she's my kind of cool - before I knew her identity.

Not as unthinkable as you might imagine. Make beef any more unaffordable, and a lot of men will start eyeing each others' rumps for the barbie.

Don't show it to your kids. They're oppositional defiant. They will love him just because he is everything you find abhorrent. For real, kids eat boogers - then laugh.

If only they'd gone a little further west to Newfoundland - I hear the people there are very hospitable to stranded Americans.

At least, he is a narcissistic, immoral senior with escalating Alzheimer's symptoms, who, instead of receiving adequate care, is being used to further others' agendas - including an unhinged, puberty-stunted man who wants to cosplay all his war action heros from movies.

Not downtown! It's like Dartmouth and other HRM areas (closer to the airport, lots of room for expansion, and more traffic friendly) doesn't exist!

I have similiar misgivings about eating lamb. If we have to kill something to survive, at least make it count for as much as possible (a full grown sheep will feed twice as many people).

My diet is more than 50% Korean now. I changed it when corporate grocery stores stopped even pretending they cared whether people could afford to eat. I now rely on small ethnic grocers, which cut my food bill costs considerably - and improved the quality of my diet. Plus, it's so freaking good!

Well, there's that. Hopefully, someone will step up to stress to them - through a lawsuit - how their decisions (without taking the time to research the potential impacts/laws/rules) can harm others.

I guess her trial and punishment wasn't enough to help her understand what exactly she did wrong. Did she take any responsibility for the negative impacts that occurred from the event she planned and organized?

If the US is the most powerful country in the world - so much so that they don't need anything from Canada - what do they care if Canada becomes more business-oriented? Didn't they demand that Canada not be so dependent on them? Why aren't they happy?

No, not just yours. My fault too. I need to boycott more, protest more, write more of my leaders to put more pressure on your leaders. The whole world needs to work harder at providing a more united, harsher front against these ivory-tower savages.

No way. These guys obviously don't feel emotions like empathy or sympathy. Relatability, maybe.

Your nation's leader has Alzheimer's. Senator is all but brain dead. Top military leader is a murderer. (That's just the tip.) What are you doing? Not enough, apparently.

That's what I was thinking: If this is the persona he chose to lead with publicly, I cannot imagine what lurks beneath his facade.

Or, if they're asking you where the bathroom is, to answer in French while they squirm with their legs crossed (only to MAGA, of course). Makes me wish I could speak the Cape Breton dialect. 😏

Like me this morning before coffee, NS lobsters are salty - not muddy. 😏

The Cajuns like to joke about their crayfish in comparison to the Nova Scotia lobster, saying that's all that was left by the time they made their forced trek from Nova Scotia to Louisiana. I guess their lobsters weren't the only thing that got small.

Some so rude, their tour guides not only warned me, but told me don't even try to be nice, it will make you their target for abuse (that was 40 years ago). That said, most of them were were fine - some lovely. Some showed up in July with skis on their car, and asked if I spoke English - in NS.

I did this with strawberries. Didn't learn until later that they were also spraying insecticides (early 80s). We were walking into it.

I wish the PC party had offered us this option to build our own budget before they ran up a billion dollar deficit! Now, when Nova Scotians try to complete this task with an impossible handicap, they will point a finger and say, See, it's not so easy, is it! #nspoli yourbudget.novascotia.ca

They say what they say, then run away from questioning. That's not listening. If they worked as hard for meeting the needs of the people of Nova Scotia, as they do at creating policies to not be held accountable for their decisions, they wouldn't be in the disreputable mess they're in now.

Oh, that's not a Germany thing, that's a blame-the-immigrants thing after leaders do their job badly. It's happening all over the world. Only, it appears the remnants of the Nazi-style "solution" might still reside in the bones of some Germans - and many other white conservative nationalist racists.

You can try taking an antihistamine to eliminate that an allergic reaction is the cause.
