Enjoyed this one. My latest for @TwitCoast, on @classified's new album, Luke's View (premiering at midnight) -- as well as a dream-like career that's approaching 30 years and counting.

"I know I don't belong in the mainstream ... I have to maintain what it is that I do on the fringes. Because this is where my light still shines the brightest."

For @TwitCoast, I spoke w/ @HawksleyWorkman ahead of his show at the Light House Arts Centre.

At the Grand Parade in Halifax, where eyewitnesses say HRM crews dismantled a tent this morning while its occupant was away.

Staff are currently erecting fencing around the park. One tent remains.

More to come on @TwitCoast.

French-language students on the peninsula aren���t sure where they’ll finish junior high school in 2026.

Many CSAP families have lobbied for a high school to be built on the peninsula. But that hasn't happened.

After 2022 brought us a full-blown pizza war, a kitchen labour shortage and a buffet table of new waterfront restaurants in Halifax, you’d be forgiven for thinking that 2023 couldn’t possibly keep pace.

Could it?

In the shadow of #COP28, as climate scientists point to a shrinking window for meaningful action, a question looms: Why can't Nova Scotia phase out of fossil fuels faster?
