Halifax's rail cut: The century-old project that ruins your daily commute — CBC News
The peninsula's peculiar road layout is not the result of confused urban planners, but the result of a massive and disruptive engineering project from over a century ago.

Two measurements I cannot accept:

1. Americans using ounces for liquid

Halifax is a living memorial to what happened that day & in the days that followed the 1917 Halifax Harbour Explosion.

Take time to explore the monuments and memorials throughout the city. Visit Explosion in The Narrows: The 1917 Halifax Harbour Explosion at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
The Hydrostone, a close-up image of a circular stone marker embedded in the pavement at the center of an intersection, commemorating the Halifax Explosion. The central circle is inscribed with "DECEMBER 6, 1917" and "THE END HC" (referring to The End of the Hydrostone Commission). Radial stone lines leading away from the center are engraved with the names of streets that meet there: "YOUNG ST." is visible to the upper left, and "HALIFAX EXP" (part of Halifax Explosion) is visible to the right. Mont Blanc anchor site, Spinnaker. Dr. Unidentified Dead Memorial, Bayers Road Cemetery Halifax Explosion Memorial Bell Tower park.

Little reminder - with the rapid temp drop occurring now (Halifax area) make sure vehicle wipers were not still running when you came home - might snap off in morning! Also beware frozen doors, windows and locks in morning #nswx #flashfreeze

Did you know? #Canada

All Canadian Provinces and Territories have a Provincial or Territorial Act called the Apology Act. Due to Canadians always using the word SORRY.

For example below from Ontario. It was created for Canadians so they could not be held accountable for saying Sorry. #Sorry 🍁
Apology Act Overview of the Apology Act in Canada The Apology Act is a law that exists in every province and territory in Canada. It allows individuals to apologize for an incident without the apology being used as an admission of liability in legal proceedings. This law aims to encourage open communication and reconciliation between parties involved in disputes. Key Provisions Definition of an Apology An "apology" under these laws generally includes: An expression of sympathy or regret A statement indicating that one is sorry Any actions or words showing contrition Legal Protections The Apology Act provides several protections: An apology does not constitute an admission of fault or liability. It cannot be used as evidence against the person in civil proceedings. It does not affect insurance coverage related to the incident. Exceptions There are some exceptions to these protections: Apologies made while testifying in court may be admissible as evidence. Certain apologies may be considered admissions of guilt under specific laws, such as the Provincial Offences Act. Provincial Variations While the core principles are similar, each province has its own version of the Apology Act. For example: Ontario: The Apology Act, 2009, emphasizes that apologies should not hinder legal defenses. British Columbia: The Apology Act, 2006, includes similar provisions regarding liability and evidence. These laws reflect a cultural tendency in Canada to promote apologies as a means of fostering understanding and resolution in conflicts.

What a busy day. Started with pancake breakfast at the grandkids’ school, got our Christmas tree, did some errands, and then started decorating the house for Christmas. Very productive.
