He said he was not “proposing a third bloc” to challenge “great power rivals, only with better manners,” but an alliance of resilient nations “principled enough that our strength reinforces international law rather than seeks to replace it”

20 years ago this week, we visited #NovaScotia to look at properties. We had already sold our house in England and just waiting for the sale to complete. In one way that 20 years has gone so fast. In another way, living in England seems a long time ago. #xp #NS #immigration

Finished watching #HalfMan last night. That entire series was a tense rollercoaster. It is difficult not to clench your jaw and watch each minute thinking "what next?". Excellent acting and superb storytelling. #TV #RichardGadd #xp www.bbc.com/culture/article/2026042…

Half Man review: Baby Reindeer creator's violent new series is brutal and 'unbearably intense' ★★★★☆
Two years ago, Richard Gadd had a surprise TV hit with his autobiographical Netflix drama about being stalked. This follow-up about two step-brothers is equally shocking.

More snow on the way! An Alberta Clipper brings shovelable snow mid-week. Snow spreads in west to east Wednesday with a slow/snowy afternoon-evening commute. Snow tapers overnight for most, lingers into Thursday in the east. 10–20 cm for Nova Scotia with 5–10 cm, southern NB. Stay tuned. #halisky
