@JournoSousa No shade, Aaron. Sometimes when I can't find the words I need I sit and transcribe literal paragraphs of song lyrics from memory just so I'm typing.
Writing is weird.
Michael Medline said criticisms of his company are "reckless and incendiary" and ssaid it was making money "not because of inflation but in spaite of it."

.@cookeseafood flies under the radar a bit in the Maritimes but this company has become a massive player in the global seafood market. A billion-dollar takeover from a private company is no joke, guys.

Big corporation don't really use the word "fired" when they fire someone at the top of their ranks.
Anyway, Dirk Lesko "abruptly resigned" from his old job in April, right after unionized employees won a major pay raise.

Clark Squires called me months ago to try and convince me to write about this ludicrous project. After his "investor" ghosted me and his "conversations with the mayor" turned out to be fantasies, I told him no and forgot about it. I didn't think anyone would fall for his pitch.

The guy behind the Titanic replica/aquarium development says he’s a strategic advisor for the United Nations Department of Sports, Music, and the Arts. But there is no United Nations Department of Sports, Music, and the Arts.

The area right at the foot of the MacDonald bridge in Dartmouth has a ton of these huge towers planned. If they all go through it's going to look wildly, wildly different.

Jim Irving isn't the only prominent Maritimer caught up in Russian sanctions.
I dug through the list to find who else was. Here they are, along with the likely reasons they caught Russia's attention.

If you're interested in what @TwitCoast's new ownership means for the publication, I chatted with @farhanmohamed about why @OverstoryMedia bought it and what his plans are (he didn't 100% rule out bringing back the print weekly).

There's still a ton more mess to untangle around CyberNB's collapse, but here's the latest: grant recipients must now resubmit all of their paperwork. How, HOW, do you lose paperwork connected to hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal grant money? https://t.co/tk0fAxKNdh
This has been a massive failure on the part of the higher up at CyberNB, @ONBCanada, @ISED_CA, and almost everyone involved.
Stay tuned because I hope to have more reporting on this in the future.

Guys I just played wordle for the 1st time and got it in an easy 3. I'm now drunk with smug satisfaction and certain some high-powered brain trust is on its way. I'm just here to say it's been fun but you all are beneath me now.

It’s kind of the ultimate example of “putting your money where your mouth is” and it's very encouraging. Now, all we need to do is get minimum wage to match what the actual living wage is.
The Government of Nova Scotia just announced it has accepted recommendations to raise the minimum wage to $15 by April 2024. That's good news. But it's not the most important part of the decision.
If you dig into it, this is actually a really progressive idea. It acknowledges that minimum wage work is important and contributes to the economy. But it’s acknowledging that not with some dumb platitudes about “frontline heroes” but with actual money in those workers’ pockets.
