@nsgov Now about that Coastal Protection Act - it would appear that the desires of a few wealthy shoreline owning friends of the Conservative Party of Nova Scotia to do as they please with their piece of NS shoreline trump the desires of the other 900,000 + Nova Scotians.

@NavyGunnerboss @HMCSSACKVILLE1 Very interesting material. BTW, I operated an amateur station on Sackville circa 1981-82. I've lost the logs but I believe my call was VE0NEO. Best DX I ever did on the 20 meter band.

@HMCSSACKVILLE1 It means the radio officer didn't trust his memory, so he kept his call sign handy for reference.

@safe_hrm @nsgov Oops, I see the source. Thanks.

@HalifaxAuthor @HMCSSACKVILLE1 @RoyalCanNavy @DRDC_RDDC Oui!

[Bruce Stuart Skinner @BruceSNorstead]

@HMCSSACKVILLE1 Yes they were in use until 1982. Radio officer was W.B. Calnen.

@AwesomeBiota Actually the sound of the main engine isn't as loud as you might think. There was lots of sighing and small spurts of steam, a rumble of the bearings, and clicks and clacks from the valve train. Much more soothing than the racket from the generator's diesel. :-)

@COVFITstudy @ESLSteveD @UofT Sticking with Apple watch as the only data source is likely to skew towards a wealthier demographic. Including Fitbit data, should provide much broader cross-section of the population. My 2¢ worth....

@EQBank Card arrived and set to go, and then Google Wallet says "Your bank doesn't support tap to pay with your phone on your card. . . ." which makes it literally useless. C'mon @EQBank if you're going to do #OnlineBanking get with the #21stCentury.

@AntibioticDoc I have been quietly listening and learning from you, and your peers, since early pandemic days. The knowledge imparted has given my family the confidence to navigate the shifting sands of both an evolving disease and our understanding of it. Have courage! Thank you.

@HMCSSACKVILLE1 @WorldofWarships I sailed on Sackville frequently from 1976 to 1982 when she was retired. I estimate I spent 1-1/2 years of my life aboard her. We had 3 vets in the crew who had served in corvettes.

The summer heat is here. There is a disturbance moving in from Quebec, that will bring chances for showers and thunderstorms in NB this afternoon. Isolated t-storm in the Valley too. Better chances for showers tonight/FRI. @infomorning @infoamfred @CBCPEI @InfoMorningCB

@hfxgov 1967 Chevy turning into the street and about to cross the centreline and head downhill toward the photographer.

@Rogers and @Fido have no signal from their tower in Garland, #AnnapolisValley Nova Scotia. How about the rest of their network? @infomorning

The last community led, volunteer run, no symptom COVID testing event at Halifax library. SO grateful to and proud of our staff, volunteers and testees who destigmatized testing, supported the public and each other, and built community buy in. #testtoprotect #vaccineplus
