Anybody in the Inverness area looking to play some tabletop? My old regular group split up and I've been itching to play in person again. Will DM, any skill level welcome.

Just like the title. We are looking at renovating our kitchen and thinking of changing from electric to propane for the stove and oven. We don’t have propane currently, so would need a tank and lines installed. Wondering if anyone has changed over recently, how hard was the work to add the lines into the home and what was the cost.

I don’t wanna be that guy, but what do we think about rich Ontarians, Americans and come-from-always retiring here, buying up expensive housing, and remotely managing AirBnBs?

I joined an NS housing group and it’s a lot of Ontarians wanting to retire here. I understand interprovincial migration for work, to make a better life for yourself. Greedy companies and landlords are to blame as well. But let’s be real. In this poorer region where we’re all struggling to make ends meet, there’s less job opportunities, less housing to go around (with mass immigration to boot), it’s just supply and demand, like…

I don’t know. Yes, you should get to retire here if you want to—freedom of movement, we’re all Canadians, etc. But then it’s just using the province to retire in after not contributing to the actual economy, and raising housing prices with the wealthy homes and AirBnBs and stuff. It’s irritating.

I'm trying to fill the rest of my schedule for November and December so I'm offering $350 off my day rate to help fill those days.

I look forward to working with you. Yes I do cover ups as well!

Has anybody been on the priority waitlist for housing in CB? Just wondering how long the wait is. I know the general waitlist is years long right now, but wondering about the priority list specifically. Thanks 😊

Hi my name is Ty and I moved to cape Breton in October and I'm looking for new clients. I work at Palehorse Tattoo in Sydney River and you can find me on Instagram @tyryantattoo or search for Ty Ryan on Facebook. Every client I've tattooed so far here in Cape Breton have been absolutely wonderful and I look forward to meeting and working with you in the future.

I've heard the fish burgers here are quite good, and with the Bayside being closed for the winter, this may be a good alternative venue. However, my wife is having a hard time bringing herself to go there, because of the KKK initials. She's from SW Ontario, where that's has been a common way of sending a signal for decades. Can it possibly be true of Kays Kozy Korner, or is it just an unfortunate coincidence of attempted Kuteness and symbolism of racial intolerance?

Wondering if anyone has recommendations for vets around Sydney, NW, Glace Bay areas? I have two cats who need their shots. Tried a couple places in Sydney - Celtic Creatures and Sydney Animal Hospital, but they don't seem to want to accept new patients, and I'm not seeing a lot online. Any ideas?

Anyone hearing anything about a deadly accident with teens drunk driving around Howie Centre? One passenger dead, another injured, and driver apparently on death’s door? I’m hearing rumblings of this from my teen daughter.

Reminds me immediately of the drunk driving teen who died in Ben Eoin last summer.

How do we even fix this problem? MADD has been spending millions on anti drunk driving campaigns for decades.

There was one fellow who went missing two months ago and there's a Indian CBU student who has been missing for the last three months.

In 2010 a good friend of mine vanished without a trace and in 2014 or 16 another friend of mine had her mother vanish.

Could anything nefarious be going on or am I just suffering from confirmation bias? Is the amount of people who have gone missing in CB over the last decade higher than the national average? How would I go about finding that out?

Ok! I know I'm going to catch it for this letter but I'm not going to apologize.Before I begin I know a lot of you are going to point to Trudeau and the "Federal" Liberals and I get that! Full disclosure I'm not planning to vote for the Liberal party federally either. My Liberal MP Jaime Battiste is a condescending one issue elitist who has been a virtual ghost locally. My point here is that there is a difference between Federal and Provincial Politics where you can be pragmatic and look at the individual and what they have done and said about Cape Breton when voting both Federally or Provincially

Having said all that I do not understand how Cape Bretoners can vote for "any" Progressive Conservative candidate in this years Nova Scotia Provincial election. (You can start your name calling now)In my memory I can't think of a more anti Cape Breton government than Tim Houston's. I just want you to think about it. Last Winter when a blizzard shut down Cape Breton and a pensioner was killed in a explosion and the CBRM asked for help; Houston's response was that it was a PR stunt. Now if a snowflake landed on Tim Houston's nose in Halifax I guarantee he'd have the army out sweeping the sidewalks; but even before that Houston's government were "Caper Haters"! John Lohr Houston's Minister for Municipal affairs minister called the CBRM's concerns a "distraction" and tried to turn the rest of Nova Scotia's municipalities against the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.

Now for the PC's candidates in Cape Breton. Brian Comer and John White are like those three monkeys who "...see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil". Both Comer and White are as quiet as cloistered monks who have taken a vow of silence and you can only assume by there damning silence that they support Houston's dubious Cape Breton timetable. Allan MacMaster has shown himself to be truly an opportunist and has taken off for what he sees as an easy win Federally.

As for Brian O'Quinn, Fred Tilley and Brian MacCarthur what can you say about this motley crew. O'Quinn should be seen as having zero credibility because he has none. Really O'Quinn had his jacket size mailed into Houston before he won the race for CBRM municipal council. Who does that? Who has done that? No one and his dishonorable actions should be rewarded by the electorate. Fred Tilley who no doubt knew a Provincial election was coming the night before the election was called, suddenly becomes a Tory come on! What the heck does that say about Fred Tilley? Brian MacCarthur I don't have a lot to say about. At least he is what he is a died in the wool blue blood Con who represents the "old boy's club" in Sydney.

I’ve never reached out to medical professionals for help with my anxiety, it’s never been horrible enough to need it. However, it’s been bad lately. Almost unable to function and work type of bad, but I still push through and make most of my shifts because I of course need to make a living. Looking for advice on how to start getting help for it when I’ve never tried before. Should note I don’t think I have a family doctor, and I’m covered under nihb. I know it’ll prob be a long wait for any help, but I honestly don’t care because I’d rather reach out now and start the process before it’s unmanageable at all.

Hello guys! Wondering if there are any nice ( nd free) hiking spots in Cape brenton which would be safe to do with a group for when it rains?

Well, if anyone travels the Beechmont Rd. towards the archery / bow range, be careful as trucks leaving Beechmont Rd. gravel quarry seem to not have a stop sign.

I thought the big red octogon thing at the exit side of the entrance to the quarry is a stop sign, but I must be mistaken.

From the range you can watch them leave. They do not even slow down, let alone stop leaving the gravel pit. There is also a lot of slop on the road around the quarry, which can make it difficult to stop or swerve in time to avoid them, especially on the colder mornings when it's a little icy.

Be careful out there.

Some of you may have seen our post a couple of months ago where we were looking for people to trial our business, for those who didn't here's a quick rundown. A friend and I thought it would be cool if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers kit. That way you can paint your dog, cat, partner, the whole family or whatever you want without having to be an artist.

We looked up the idea and found that the current stores in the market were ridiculously expensive or only offered kits without a frame or with a DIY frame (who wants to put together their own frame? Don't you just want to open the box and start painting). So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers and eventually we were able to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed.

We reached out to you here on Reddit asking you to test them out at cost price and we've received some amazing feedback as a result. Thank you if you were one of our OG customers! We want to continue to grow and get more feedback and reviews though so we're re-opening the offer in case you missed it the first time around or you want to order some more kits.

You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now, we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done early. If you've already ordered with that code it has no been reset so you can get the deal again!

We look forward to getting more feedback and hopefully you'll love our kits enough to spread the word to your family and friends!

BREAKING NEWS!

Nova Scotia Conservative premier TIM HOUSTON refuses to speak to CBC Cape Breton Information Morning. Houston is the only party leader who is refusing to speak to Cape Bretoners directly!Yet another sign of the Conservative disdain for our Island.

The whole area involving exit 6 in Sydney River needs to be redesigned. Every other day there is an accident there or a near miss.

Heading toward North Sydney the two travel lanes should be moved closer to the barrier in the middle instead of that big gap they currently have and extend the exit ramp up to where the turn starts so people will stop thinking they have to slow down in a travel lane at the bottom of a hill on a turn to start exiting the highway.

Heading toward Sydney the no lane change area on the St Peter's/Howie Center exit needs to be extended past the bottom of the ramp..there is more than enough room on the little straight stretch behind the churches to pick the appropriate lane instead of just whipping over to the right lane and sometimes forcing people to stop at the bottom of the other highway ramp.

Same side but going toward Sydney River...that's just terrible and never should have been approved..better signage when coming by the churches or on the ramp would probably help though. Most people just hit the bottom of that ramp and immediately go to the far right lane to avoid the rotary like it's lava.

Of course none of this will matter with a large percentage of the population who will never adapt or change their methods of driving to new road designs.

Sydney River’s poorly maintained Kings Road is closer to a new roundabout. An estimated 20,000 cars travel daily. Are you ready?

Would there be any male strippers in Sydney to hire for bachelorette party ?
