Dolly Parton wrote “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” on the same day and I’ve been “getting ready to put away laundry” for the past five or six days.

[Mattea Roach @mattearoach]

In what I can only call a display of “extreme Cape Breton behavior,” my mom’s cousin put this up at the grocery store he and my great aunt/uncle run in Marion Bridge - feeling so incredibly supported!! Two more days ✨

a case study in corporate social responsibility.. pretty impressed with how many customers seem to be taking action (and would love to know what those numbers are!!)

BREAKING: Spotify has shutdown its live customer support due to an unprecedented number of complaints after they doubled-down on their Joe Rogan anti-vax campaign

[Solar Nova Scotia @SolarNS]

BREAKING NEWS: @nspowerinc is proposing to charge homeowners who have net-metered solar installations $8/kW/month fee. To put this in perspective, a homeowner with a 10kW system generates about $1,760 worth of electricity per year. They will be required to pay NSP $960 per year.

@SavourTheSea Oh, I’ve been looking forward to this since last week- there’s been quite a ramp up. I am convinced it gets less blue from here this month ⬆️

@HFXParkingBan Would be helpful to include the date in the tweet!

[Tristan Cleveland @LUrbaniste]

I had to do a double take. Yes, that's a Halifax street as a top story in The Economist. We're finally world class at something: a housing crisis.

Hey Ontario: our province is failing us. Arrived at NS airport & was given 2 COVID take home tests. Testing clinics all over the city. Ppl test before seeing loved ones, test at the 1st sign of a cold. And there’s contact tracing. COVID is still here but we’re not living in fear.

[Jackie @jackie_new]

More of this kind of work, but with viable business models that require less subsidies?

[Taryn Grant @tarynalgrant]

A developer is planning to flip about half of the Centennial Building from commercial space to apartments. This is one of the three projects announced last week that’ll get provincial money to subsidize rent on some units. #nspoli https://t.co/NFCpylCTlV

can’t stop thinking that as travel resumes, how much more afflicted poorer countries will be

tourism inevitably flows to ‘safer’ countries, and so do resources

the poor getting poorer at a global level means what? further disparity, climate migrants and refugees

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

The #Omicron variant reveals the true global danger of ‘vaccine apartheid.’ Sharing vaccines with poorer countries is the right thing and the self-interested thing to do. The west needs to stop being so short-sighted. https://t.co/XAcNAF51IA via @guardian #COVID19 #GlobalHealth

[Inclusion NS @InclusionNS]

@NSLEO18 is seeking submissions from artists with a disability to design a legacy logo for Nova Scotia’s Access Awareness Week. Submissions should reflect the colours in NS tartan and be considerate of the province’s diverse disability community.

Here's to creativity!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

A Danish museum gave an artist about $83,000 to reproduce pieces reflecting the nature of work in the modern world.

He pocketed the cash and delivered two blank canvases titled "Take the Money and Run." https://t.co/CjyA115QVt
