@MatthewHalliday Other considerations: the original cost was 11 million in the 50s (= $128m value today). That's less than it cost to do "The Big Lift" ($150m) and WAYYY less than the forecasts for building a new bridge nowadays (estimates are $1 billion+). So, no kidding gov can't afford it.
This morning I heard from a kind and caring NBer. Situation: a child in their circle has tested positive for COVID and has a fever, so the parents kept them home from school yesterday and today. But they are leaning towards sending the child tomorrow, likely unmasked.

UPDATED: Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health says he is concerned the public has become too complacent about COVID-19.

@affabletoaster And here's an example of an imperative use of video + a subjunctive dependent clause, from Cicero: https://t.co/8aaEkiVcr0
<<vos videte quid aliae faciant isto loco feminae>>, which the translation has as "Please observe for yourselves what other ladies of your rank are doing"
A government who’s climate plan continues to revolve around rebates for the middle class for buying ev’s, home retrofits, etc is a government who has zero intention or courage to make the systematic changes necessary in address the climate crisis.
@MatthewHalliday What about the environment?
I am not against $10/day daycare. Children should not be something that only the privileged can afford.
But I don’t care how much taxes or daycare we pay if there will not be a livable planet for our kids.
If there is one issue, this is it.
