Heads up Dartmouth folks, our neighbour’s cat Egon is missing. He’s very sweet and super friendly—hopefully he’s just out exploring the neighborhood. If you’re in the area, please keep an eye out for him (he will very likely come running right up to you for skritches).

Hey. Hi. Hello. The Mayor of Halifax is putting forward a motion to pause all work on the city's bike network. In this bonus episode of HFX By Bike, I try to provide relevant context, go over each argument in detail, and show how you can get engaged. youtu.be/ogD1kOjiSXQ

In case anyone ever thinks of booking a stay with Sunken Escapes on Sunken Lake in Nova Scotia, I would strongly suggest taking your business elsewhere. Denying a Scout Camp that has been in place for over 100 years the use of a road, what a bunch of scumbags.

Never been happier to have left an American owned company (Postmedia) for a locally owned Canadian company (Eastlink) on my own terms back in October. Proud to be a Nova Scotian, proud to be a Canadian. 🍁
