If you’re one of the pedestrians who flipped him off: I’m with you. This intersection (Bayers & Windsor) sucks and it’s not the first time I’ve watched this kind of nonsense happen.

If you’re the driver: what the hell were you thinking? The irony is that if you were in such a goddamn hurry, you could’ve jumped the zebra stripes to the turn lane earlier and made the light. Fun fact: you were only three cars ahead of me at the Almon stoplight.

The weekend is here.

This is a weekly mega-thread for good, heartwarming or uplifting news. Ideally local but non-local is welcome too. Fun pet photos or memes, tales with happy endings, personal anecdotes that you want to share with 179k+ internet strangers, etc. We could all use more positive news and vibes in our lives right now.

This is a rules relaxed space, but we will still be monitoring for personal attacks, doxxing, and stuff that doesn't fit the theme of the thread.

Listening to the morning show on CBC 90.5, and a familliar voice was heard. Paul Brothers, former Global Morning TV show host was heard reading the morning news in lieu of Portia Clark. Is this going to be a temporary fit??? (Edited for content and mostly grammar).

When I first moved into my building, it was great - the building was always clean, garbage was picked up regularly, they took care of the grounds, there were no mice, and things were fixed quickly.

It started slowly - first the annual garage cleaning was skipped, then the carpet cleaning, then everyone started getting mice, then tenants were calling the city because garbage wasn’t being picked up. There are mice running through the halls. It’s like night and day in just a few years, that it’s hard to even comprehend.

Is this normal now or do I just pay a lot to live in a shitty building?

I’m starting to feel like that person who stays in a toxic relationship for years because they’ve convinced themselves it’s normal.

I was scrolling Pinterest this week and got an ad for a sweater that looked familiar.. Lo and behold, it appears to be exact versions of the “handcrafted” knit sweaters the Pilates studio is selling. I don’t know where they sourced theirs from but it is an interesting coincidence, considering the 1000% price difference!

Not my photo.

Someone heading to my house took this picture around 2:30.

I really hope everyone is okay

May be up/down .01

The latest federal surveillance report, which tracks influenza, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), shows it’s likely the calm before the storm, with low and stable levels of all three respiratory threats that are set to come roaring back in the months ahead.

Keep an eye on news in October, as NS usually opens the vaccines then!

Hey everyone! My name is Conrad and I run Blyyss, where we've been delivering from Gateway Meat Market over the past month.

For anyone new to us, we shop for your groceries at Gateway Meat Market on Sunday mornings and bring them to your door that afternoon.

Good news this week, we're adding Clayton Park and Spryfield to the route, so along with Halifax, Dartmouth and Fairview that's most of the city. Bedford and Sackville, you're next, we're setting up your own delivery day and I'll post when it's ready.

Gateway's flyer is a good one this week. Bone-in pork loin roast $1.77/lb, grapes 77¢/lb, Quebec corn $1.97 a dozen, and pork chops $1.97/lb to name a few!

We've got 10 spots for Sunday. Order by Friday 9 PM at https://blyyss.ca/shop. $15.99 flat and you pay the exact shelf price on everything, we never mark anything up.

Quick note, we're not affiliated with Gateway, just customers who shop there like everyone else and bring it to the folks who can't get out there.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and please, order away :)

Just bought a place in Eastern Passage, and the home inspection flagged a few issues with the wood stove setup.
I’m looking for someone who can come take a look, give me a quote for the work that needs to be done, actually do the work, and then issue the WETT certificate once everything is up to standard.
I’m not looking for just an inspection — I already have the inspection report. I’m hoping to find someone who can handle the repairs/work as well.
Who have you guys used, and would you recommend them?

Anyone have a health practitioner (e.g. psychologist, physiotherapist, private nurse practitioner, etc) that helped you obtain long term disability? If so could you recommend/message me their name. I am suffering from chronic hip pain and I'm struggling to even do my office job right now. I have had the issue since April 2026. Just returned to work from parental leave this week. Unfortunately my family doctor is not that much help. I had to go elsewhere for a referral of a private MRA which shows that I have a labral tear and that my acetabulum is anteverted. He insisted that I don't have a labral tear prior to MRA... I'm a federal employee and we don't have short term disability insurance, applying for long term is my only option plus using up all my remaining sick leave.

I've been to many stores trying to find a good desk chair. Any suggestions on where to ship for a desk chair with good lumbar support?
