I haven't seen any recent posts about this, but more layoffs happened this week with NS Government. This time it was bargaining unit employees.

Substack post from Fillmore.

I went to the shoppers up the road from me, on my ebike, to get some meds for my Fiance who is having allergy issues right now.

On my way home (I live of the corner of Young and Novalea) I turned on to young, and held my hand out to turn left into my parking lot. A vehicle was coming towards me, I made eye contact, while signaling, and made my turn into the parking lot.

After I was well into my parking lot, more than half way, the vehicle honked, and the guy yelled at me, from the street, saying he almost hit me. He was probably over 20 feet away from me when I made my turn.

He yelled that I shouldn't just turn in front of a vehicle without a signal. He drove off before I could explain that me sticking my left hand straight out to my left, IS A TURNING SIGNAL.

So bikers, be aware that there are apparently people in this city that do not know what bike hand signals mean.

Hello.

I live in Nova Scotia on Cape Breton Island in Ingonish Beach. I am flying on August 21st and am currently waiting for my passport which has been processed in Ottawa, ON on August 18th in the evening.

After several days and weeks of concerns after being persistently deceived by customer services, I'm left confused as for what to do. My flight and hotel is already booked and I've been told that Halifax offers temporary passports as well as urgent passport requests. I understand that Halifax's passport office doesn't have a direct local passport-office number. Does anyone know if either of these options would be more advised, or even possible in my situation?

excuse my ignorance I am fairly new to Halifax but there is a police presence, many many people, tons of flags and marching band? I’m just curious if today is special lol.

Where can we find a good spot for playing badminton in halifax?

Paid or free?
