What are the main differences between conservatives and liberals? What makes Tim Houston conservative and Mark Carney liberal?

Looking for wedding venues on the South Shore or in HRM (willing to travel a bit of distance outside these areas) for up to 150 guests (this number could potentially be smaller). Trying to stay away from barn/farm style wedding. Are there any hidden gems out there that can accommodate a larger guest list? Fox Harb’r, Bulls Point, and White Point are a bit above our budget.

Hello Nova Scotians!

I am travelling out to visit from June 7-12 and am looking for some insight or must sees while I’m out there.

Will have a car rented from the 9-11 to travel around the coast/inland, and will be in Halifax for the rest.

I’m thinking of doing the south & sw coast, possibly north as well.… see some things like Lunenberg, Mahone bay, Kejimkujik park, etc. Very open to hearing any recommendations in or outside of Halifax.

Interested in possibly hopping on a commercial fishing boat if doable & renting some clubs for a round of golf.

Am I silly not to do Cape Breton? I just feel I wouldn’t have enough time.

Thanks!!

Hi all! I'll be visiting Halifax in late June and am hoping to make the drive to do some horseback riding in Parrsboro during my visit. I'm planning on renting a car, but I'm a bit of a nervous/relatively new driver on highways, especially unfamiliar and longer drives. I've looked up the route a bunch and saw that it seems to mainly be 2 lane highways, which seems easier. Is there anything about the drive to and from Parrsboro that I should know (tricky spots, things to watch out for, etc)? And is there a map of rest stops in between I can look at (I wasn't able to find any on a search)? Thank you so much!!

This is a public service announcement to anyone out there who wants to access an affordable Mirena IUD!!!

After learning that even after Pharmacare coverage, my IUD prescription would cost me $450 (💀), and having ZERO luck with online searches, I asked my doctor if she knew of any local support programs that offered it at low cost. She referred me to the representative for the drug company's "compassionate care" program. She said it is difficult to find through online searches, and could only access the contact details through her online professional healthcare portal.

A week later, I got a phone call from Sentrex Pharmacy Charlottetown, I did a very brief intake where I confirmed my address, DOB, health card number and they confirmed that for the cost of $45 (paid by credit card or e-transfer), they would mail me my IUD.

It seems like only some health professionals know about this program, so if your doctor says this doesn't exist or they don't know of anything, mention that it's not posted publicly through online searches and refer them to Sentrex - DM me if you want more details. They are located in PEI, but serve Nova Scotia!

So relieved that there's an option out there, because the $450 is a wild barrier.

For me, I absolutely love the Muir Hotel in Halifax, and the Evangeline Hotel in Annapolis Valley. Where else should i check out?
