This is also good advice for everyone. I’m getting better at cutting wood into smaller pieces and reassembling them into useful(?) things. Herself has become a pretty accomplished quilter. If you’re going to retire - you need physical activity beyond being an internet keyboard warrior.

Over and over I am telling my engineering students: the more hands-on you are, the better you will be at weathering the AI storm. This requires turning away from the “applied science” flavours of engineering and to get back to traditional engineering that resulted in building stuff.

We got to Mahone Bay and realized we’d forgotten Jack’s leash on our front steps. Immediately we stumbled upon a used dog gear sale raising money for Elderdogs. We got him a new leash that can clip into a seatbelt and a harness. Such a great coincidence to start our adventure!

A scarecrow of a woman in leopard print and her many scare-cats. There’s a (real life) dog in his new red harness and leash sniffing one of the cats nose-to-nose.

It’s a really simple geometry problem, put in stark terms. Infrastructure costs scale with area served. You need to add enough revenue capacity in that area to pay for the infrastructure OR you need surplus revenue over costs somewhere else.

Nova Scotia has a legislated commitment to protect 20% of land by 2030 (interim goal = 15% by end 2026). We are only at 14.5%. Lately the NS gov't only seems to care about extraction & development. Take two minutes to fill out this survey & tell the NS gov't you want all candidate areas protected.

I advocate for careers in the trades, but they can also be very harmful to your mental health. There are epidemics of drug and alcohol abuse - and of suicide - in the industrial building trades. I've never worked on a long-term project that didn't have at least one or two deaths in camp.

The woman who wants to cut services to the bone because taxes are too high, when presented with a strategy that honestly, would actually lower municipal taxes for many, goes instead with "fuck you, lazy bums, get another job". any way she looks at it, you lose.

The CAP debate was funny because on the one hand it's a bunch of practical and moral arguments about over-charging a small number of people to provide subsidies for some of highest income neighbourhoods on the city and on the other it's basically "my voters like free money, fuck you"

Certainly, vocal support for Alberta separatism had risen during Liberal regimes, at least as far back as '80s Trudeau. Mulroney getting in dampened the mood, so did Harper. But for him to claim it was zero — that's just factually off.

Yes, I’m picking on Trish Purdy, however, a lot of people believe this. Here’s the thing though: it’s so EASY to tell people to just “work harder!” It actually takes work to change systems that work against people. That’s something public servants can and should do…

The mill being shut down produces cold-rolled galvanized steel. The CEO's argument is that they can't sell any in the US with 50% steel tariffs, and there's no market for it in Canada. Doesn't really pass the smell test.

It really sucks that “public safety” has become less keeping sidewalks in good repair, installing and maintaining streetlights, and building safety infrastructure for pedestrians and commuters and more “keep the homeless away from my storefront at any cost but also don’t you dare raise my taxes”

Laura’s post is such a good reminder that while reforming the property tax CAP system to make it fairer requires a provincial government that will play ball, there are still things City Council can do as well to (likely slowly) work towards a fairer and more sustainable model of taxation in HRM.

“This motion passed 12 - 5 after a lengthy discussion and debate. I voted Yes, because I would like to see tax fairness based on the ability one has to pay (whether you rent or own), rather than the tenure in one's property.

(Tax fairness based on the costs of municipal services received is a related yet separate topic.
HRM is working towards fairness and financial sustainability in this regard by our settlement patterns and development decisions and area rates applied. This is an area that council has more control over, yet the issue is also emotionally and politically charged.)”
