An old fogey question with regards to all these dire warnings about "BigAI". Am I the only only person who reads "BigAI" and what comes immediately to mind is a mildly inebriated and very confused sportscaster? Should I just call a cab for a ride to The Shady Rest Home? #BigAI #BigAl

Good crowd on the Dartmouth ferry, including acouple of geese - headed over to the "Culture is Critical" protest at Province House today. The fact that we are on the Viola Desmond seems appropriate.

I wish. But I didn't see it with Jack. That "moment" in 2011 was simply the seizing of a short term window of opportunity in Quebec ... not much changed in the rest of Canada.

In the popular working definition of "a shack in the woods of Cape Breton", the lack of indoor plumbing is central. So I have a few questions.

CTF is NOT a "taxpayer watchdog". Its an astroturf group that pretends to be grassroots but is in fact funded by private, corporate interests with a rightwing agenda of slashing gov't services in favor of unregulated private sector. Given their hidden finances, its not even clear that its Cndn.

LOL. Only reason that Trudeau has a political legacy of "good works" is b/c the NDP stuck with his Govt to secure improvements in the lives of ordinary Canadians ... dental care, labour rights, pharmacare, day care, etc. All at great cost to their own political futures as Trudeau self-destructed.

And if you are starting at the Hages Lane end, that initial walk through the Freeman Nature Reserve is probably considered "woods walking".

Its all a big distraction while the Carney Govt plans the biggest slashing of federal programs since the Chretien-Martin days. At this rate, Carney should simply invite PP into the Federal Cabinet - he will feel right at home.

It appears that Andy Fillmore, our new HRM mayor, has just realized that he is not up to the job. His response? He is asking the Premier to change the job description to give him even MORE power. There is in fact another, more obvious solution, Andy... #Halifax #HRM

Where is"Slashing Government Programs to reduce the deficit"?? That currently appears to be Carney's TOP priority, right behind "Pandering to the Mango Mussolini".

Wow. I have rarely seen such an inordinately incompetent and incapable politician as Halifax's Mayor, Andy Fillmore. In retrospect, full marks to Justin Trudeau for never letting this joker anywhere near a Federal Cabinet post: Fillmore's lack of political smarts is off the charts #HRM

John's first two drafts ("On the Dole Waster", followed by "Merseyside Wanker") were very much darker social commentaries. I think Paul was looking for something lighter and frothier.
