Is your loyalty to Nova Scotia “fun” or “exciting”?

Morning File, Thursday, August 18, 2022

August 18, 2022ByPhilip Moscovitch4 Comments

News 1. August 18, one year later A year ago today, on August 18, 2021, I was scrolling through Twitter to see if there was anything I should mention in the day’s Morning File.

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.

The Tideline, with Tara Thorne

Episode 95 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.
A white woman with light brown wavy hair, wearing a black top and dark rimmed glasses rests with her face in her hand.

Halifax poet laureate Sue Goyette, an early-run Tideline guest, returns one last time to discuss her new bookMonoculture,out in October. Neither poetry nor fiction, its hybrid form imagines a near future where Nova Scotia’s last living forest has become a tourist attraction and explores our relationship to trees and the land through the website’s comments section. It’s ever evocative and poignant and at turns funny, enraged, and in awe of its surroundings. Sue speaks to its creation, her deep relationships to the elements, and the deplorable way they’ve been treated.
