My husband is on a guys trip near Cheticamp and both the scheduled fishing charter and whale watching trip have been cancelled due to weather. Any activity suggestions for them? They would like to fish, but don't have their gear since they flew there. Are there places that rent gear? Anyone know a charter or group that would have availability today or tomorrow? (Sept 8 or 9). I know hiking is great there, but one of the men is older and has have physical limitations.

Hello,

What sports are incl in the eastL Super Sports Package?

A guy is coming to visit me in Halifax from out of province and wants to go to Peggy’s cove, I’m wondering if there’s anything else to do in the same area so we’re not just driving down there for the rocks and ocean (I’ve been there a couple times already but he’s excited so I want to make a fun little day trip out of it)

Hi everyone,

I'm more then likely going to buy a car tomorrow and was wondering if anyone knew of insurance providers that will do one day Insurance.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone,

We are going from HFX to Digby and wondering is there a place for smokes and weed on the way to Digby from halifax.

What's everyone's electric bill. For the past 2 months.

Mine was 455 $ and someone thought that wasn't much. What is everyone else paying this summer ??

I just found out from one of my friends that Pink day is being canceled at CKRHS (Central Kings Rural High-School, also the school that started Pink day) and replaced with a more school specific event.

ALLEGEDLY the reason for the change was that one of the people who started it, Travis Price was messaging younger girls at west kings, but I can't find any news articles backing this claim.

The only reason we think it's true is because Pink day at the school is definitely canceled and isn't happening this year.

Does anyone have any information about this?

Does anyone know why they have removed the electric vehicle charging stations in the parking garage at the airport?

Looking for some honest opinions on what people think of gmc terrains. I’m in the market for a vehicle and this one has caught my eye.

Good, bad, constructive criticism?

Hello. I have a question about what legal/tenant protections my friend may have in this situation:

A friend of mine lives in an apartment building owned by a corporate landlord in HRM. She has lived there for 12 years, and her rent is semi-frozen due to being on income assistance/disability. It's been increased over the years, but is well below market. When she signed her lease 12 years ago, the building allowed one fixed cat as a pet, and she's had her cat since then; However, new leases no longer allow pets.

This building has several pest issues, including mice (the cat has caught *many* over the years.) Today, she found a roach in her apartment for the second time. A man who lived across the hall from her was evicted a month or two ago; he was a hoarder and was the source of these roaches. Neighbours have seen them as well. The landlord has had pest control come in to that unit, but they didn't treat any nearby units. She's worried there may be more roaches (you know how they are) and wants to report it to the landlord, however, she's afraid this will just cause problems for her. She's worried they'll blame the cat food for attracting the roaches and tell her she has to get rid of her cat, citing the fact the building is now pet-free, despite having the cat for the 12 years she's lived there and it being allowed when she signed her lease. Furthermore, she's also worried if she doesn't comply with them telling her to get rid of her cat, that they'll evict her too (they're likely looking for any reason to evict her and bring that unit up to market rental price).

Is this something they can do? Is the landlord responsible for taking care of these pests, regardless? Can they tell her to get rid of her cat? And if she doesn't, can they evict her? Does she have any protections here? Does the landlord have any legal recourse?

Can I legally have a free vegetable table on my front lawn that people from my community can share their vegetables that are going to go to waste .

Just finished reading this book. I’d totally recommend it to people interested in local history, some really interesting stuff in it.

Hello Nova Scotia,

I am seeking advice on an idea to move to Nova Scotia.

I am a Carpenter Apprentice in southern British Columbia earning $30 dollars an hour for a 40 hour work week.

I pay $850 a month in rent for bearable living conditions.

I am interested in Timber framing, cabinetry, and heritage carpentry. I saw the latter of which is offered at Nova Scotia Community College in a 2 year program which counts toward my red seal qualification.

I've seen a number of loans and grants whose existence I am still confirming for farm properties and trade school education.

I've heard that NS has an extreme shortage of carpenters.

Friends and family living in NS tell me NS has multiple near-crises in healthcare, some industries, and cost-of-living as well as the highest income tax rate in Canada.

We face similar challenges in BC, wherein the lower tax rate and wages I believe are offset by the extremely high rent and general cost of living.

My spouse and I are considering buying cheap rural land to build a small farm on.

This plan would require significant loans on our part which we would hope to offset in the future by owning property with low annual tax, tax credits/rebates for small farm business, and skilled carpentry work. My spouse would manage the day to day of the farm while I work.

What input do you have on our situation?

Thank you

EDIT: For clarity, I am considering rural land under $40,000 upon which I could build a small cabin myself.

Has anyone heard that Pat stays trial is now in limbo because the accused lawyer is being appointed to the Judges bench? Yup.

Hello.

Currently in Lunenberg and returning Saturday to Halifax to drop off my rental car. The plan was to spend a night in Halifax then fly home to Toronto.

What should I expect with this upcoming storm? How bad is it going to be?? 😩
