1. John Hamm sits on Northern Pulp Mill board
丹·里德(Dan Reid)是前自由主义者MLA,也是皮克图(Pictou)的医生,他也是PC前总理约翰·哈姆(John Hamm),他也是一名医生,因为他坐在北部纸浆厂的当地控股公司董事会成员。报告CBC:
里德(Reid)认为哈姆(Hamm)在董事会中的角色违反了加拿大医学协会的道德规范,并在《第七条》中引用了《守则》中的第七条,“抵制任何可能破坏您的专业诚信的影响或干预。”
“对Hamm博士捍卫纸浆磨坊感到羞耻。他应该辞职,明天应该辞职。”里德说。
里德提出了一个有效的观点。股票公司注册表确认HAMM是一名董事,为什么在过去几个月中有关工厂的所有新闻报道之后,我们现在只是在学习这件事吗?
The CBC frames the issue as a “personal” conflict between Reid and Hamm and quotes Jamie Baillie saying Reid is making a political attack, but Hamm’s presence on the board bespeaks a political and corporate culture of mutual back-scratching, and yes, it should concern us.
2. Transit misses the bus
Metro Transit已将自己重新命名为Halifax Transit,但仍然坚持查看计划的旧方法。Despite council’s order that the agency conduct an “overall system review” of its scheduling and transition to a high frequency transfer-based scheduling, transit managers have given council the raspberry and said, well, we’ll make some small tweaks here and there, but forget about your overall system review. This looks to me like staff insubordination, but of course council won’t do anything about that.
Meanwhile, the It’s More than Buses advocacy group, which unlike Halifax Transit took council’s desire for change seriously, will unveil its proposed high frequency transit networknext Thursday在公交车站剧院。
3. Clearcut
该省允许在前Bowater Mersey土地上清除。这仍然是我怀疑我的怀疑,即尽管存在垂死的造纸工业和磨坊的关闭,但新斯科舍省还是以创纪录的速度木材,这反过来又导致了北部纸浆磨坊的问题。态度似乎是很快就不会有树木的钱,所以我们现在不妨将它们全部砍倒。
4. Bryony House
人们没有在梦中购买很多门票,敢于Bryony House的筹款活动。The CBC notes that the lottery is facing “stiff competition” from the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre’s annual lottery.
Lotteries probably aren’t the best idea for funding worthwhile social programs, and lotteries with high-lifestyle prizes strike a discordant noteto my ear。也许我们应该回到征税税,以支付所需的服务。
5.圣卢的先生们的理发店破产了
圣卢是一个有意识的复古理发店的Historic Properties. Men show up for a cut and while waiting, owner/barber Rob Oxnard offers them a coffee or a beer. Well,提供。现在不再有啤酒了,因为一些匿名人士在等待理发时认为免费啤酒是对法律和秩序的威胁,并在奥克斯纳德(Oxnard)上扮演了警察。“No more beer due to an anonymous complaint,” says Oxnard sadly在Instagram上:

1. Starving slaves out on Scatarie
我昨天关于新斯科舍省奴隶制历史的短篇小说促使帕克·多纳姆(Parker Donham)a fascinating post关于布雷顿角(Cape Breton)民间歌曲中的一条经常性线:“在斯卡塔里(Scatarie)挨饿的奴隶。”多纳姆说:
Was the singer bemoaning the impoverished circumstances he and and his brother found themselves in, “像在斯卡塔里(Scatarie)饿死的奴隶”,“像”以某种方式变成了“和?”那不是我的声音,但是如果这是歌手的意图,他到底是如何提出这样的短语,例如“在Scatarie上挨饿?”照明人员的家人似乎极不可能将奴隶留在岛上。中间通道中的某个时候,奴隶可能在斯卡塔利上被危险了吗?
除了Scatarie奴隶的奥秘外,Donham发布了一份有趣的Deep Cove Amby Thomas的有趣录音当我第一次来到喀里多尼亚时,还包含它。
2.彼得·凯利
The Westlock County, Alberta council’s failure to fully vet former Halifax Mayor Peter Kelly before hiring him as county CAO “充其量表明缺乏判断力,在最坏的情况下,表现出完全疏忽,以履行其作为该组织钱包弦乐的韦斯特洛克县居民和监护人的代表的角色,”说the Westlock News。“至少可以这么说,这真是令人尴尬,由于这份雇用,议员们无疑会面对老板的一些棘手问题。如果您在网上阅读评论并听取城镇周围的Scuttlebutt,那么辞职的呼吁已经进入。”
论文补充说:“我t makes a lot more sense now why [Kelly] wanted his identity kept a secret until Sept. 2, when he was formally appointed to the position.”
The paper’s online poll question is “韦斯特洛克县议会是否在雇用彼得·凯利(Peter Kelly)方面进行了尽职调查?”88%的受访者回答否。

设计审查委员会(市政厅下午6点) - 委员会将查看Cunard Block,这是一栋拟议的17层建筑,位于莫里斯街脚下的海滨。建筑物看起来像one of the cruise ships ran ashore。I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing, but I doubt it’ll ever be built.

“一对CMES(冠状质量弹出)正朝着地球前进,”reports NASA。“这两个太阳雨云在9月9日和10日在Sunspot AR2158的磁篷中发射了强烈的爆炸。NOAA预报估计,9月12日,两个CME的第一场到达时,极地地磁风暴的机会近80%。Auroras处于野外状态,周末之前可能会在中段看到。”
当然,星期五的哈利法克斯会下雨,所以我们可能会错过Auroras。

3. Clearcut
如果DNR对“环境敏感区域”的定义是指“主要价值是保护,包括保护生物多样性和栖息地”,那么选择性切割可能是合适的,但肯定不会明确。
我认为,在这片皇冠土地上获得登录的租赁的伐木工人和锯木厂需要更大的方向,执行和从DNR监督,以遵守政策和法规。为什么我想知道这显然没有发生。DNR人手不足,没有足够的保护官和区域森林人?罚款太低了吗?
Tim, I hope you find the time to look into this problem.

I would recommend talking to Matt Miller – forests at ecologyaction dot ca – for a good overview of what is happening on the increasingly bare ground of the Nova Scotian woods.
Re lotteries – – I don’t want to win a million dollar house, or a fifty thousand dollar car. I wonder why they don’t offer less ”grand” prizes and more ”good” prizes, like a house that I would actually like to live in. Then, I might buy a ticket.
