Is there a morning that someone isn’t parked outside those fitness places?

It isn't just them. It is also Spring Garden Rd and other businesses nearby. Unless they live under a rock, they are well aware of the water shortage, and unless the city is living under that same rock, they have seen it happening.

Called who? I sent a note to Halifax water and it went unanswered.

All Summer long the Lord Nelson and nearby businesses have been making sure they flaunt NS Water by having amazing green grass and wet sidewalks.

Massive water shortage in Halifax and the people are out cleaning the sidewalks on Spring Garden Rd with hoses. @hfxgov.bsky.social

Our first in the wild robot vacuum. The Eufy C10 has been launched at Sutherland Steam Mill to help staff and test out more of our museum automations. How will he fare? @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social

Well he is an avid cyclist. Did he also mention he is an avid cyclist?

Usually it is a day if a big snow event that often closes schools anyway. By the next day things are bikeable.

I mean I also just read a story about how Montreal and Toronto have some of the worst air quality in the world currently due to forest fires. There are tons of reasons why outdoors is not the best option. It certainly could be better though.

Very excited to be testing out a new robot vacuum that will be released on one of my museums in the next few weeks. Just doing some testing to see its weird quirks (they all have them) so that I can train staff in how to have the best robot experience. @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social

But have you ever thought, I own a car dealership and damn I have always wanted an excuse for giant Gorilla.

New friend on the way to join the @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social Conservation automation team. The Eufy C10 robovacuum is a branch out from the traditional Roomba team, but we are excited to welcome our new friend and get him on site to test out. #museumroomba

Got my booster, which I apparently did not get as a kid. I had the one shot way back in the olden days. I must say that was the simplest vaccine I have ever had.

As a long time civil servant I have always heard the old trope "if government was a business it would be out of business" to which I always responded, it is a service provider, not a business and you won't like it if it were a business.

Andy is acting like he was elected by divine right. He squeaked in simply because people wanted new blood. Now he is looking for the populist quick wins.

But no one rides bikes in Halifax. It’s too wet and hilly.

Once again if only Andy knew about….planning.
