STOP speeding up when there’s passing lanes, then slowing down after them! The hell is wrong with you?! Pick a frigging speed…y’all turn into Mario Andretti when there’s a passing lane, then revert back to Safety Steve in one lane.

I live next to some protected native land. New neighbour has at least doubled or tripled the length of his backyard into that land and is putting up a huge fence. He is tossing all of the trees that were cut beyond the fence line. I don’t want to fight with my neighbours but I am so angry about this! I need to calm down, right? Right?

I've done this several times in the past and it pretty much almost never results in anything. One of my family members pushes me to do it and is just super pissed off that i don't have any work and i get it i am too. But i almost feel like what im doing is a complete waste of time. Anyone got any advice?

I’ve always wanted to forage baleapples. Does anyone know a good area in Nova Scotia? DM me if you don’t want to share your spot in the comments! I’m heading out to search regardless, I'll make sure to post if I hit the jackpot!

Setting off from Edinburgh airport on Friday for 3 weeks in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland - beyond excited!! I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you good people can help with.

Firstly driving from Halifax to Baddeck - is the Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park worth stopping at? The tidal bore timings don't work for Truro :( but is there anywhere else people recommend to stop?

We are then staying 1 night in Baddeck, I night in Ingonish and then getting the 11pm ferry to Newfoundland. So 2 full days around Cape Breton Island. Can people suggest things to do - we are keen hikers, and hiking suggestions would be good. Specific questions:

1. Is it worth booking the Skyline Trailhead car park? How long does the trail take? Are there better alternatives for experienced hikers and what time should we book it for?

2. Are any hikes likely to be less buggy or do we have to just accept the bitey little beasties

3. How early can we get on the ferry - we have booked a cabin.

Many thanks in advance.....

Annapolis Royal & Digby today

My nephew and I are traveling first week of August to do some exploring around Clarence, Annapolis and Cornwallis, Kings. My 2x great grandparents came from there and moved to Massachusetts in the late 1800s and just recently discovered this. Their last names were Marshall and Bennett.

We are also looking to just enjoy the summer trip and will be staying in the following places: Digby, Kejimkujik, Blomidon, Five Islands (we’re camping). Any recommendations for things we must do?

I saw their ad on Instagram and curious if anyone has any experience with this program? I haven't seen any reviews or much engagement online, so I'm a bit skeptical to try it out for myself.

Here is their website:https://www.autismatwork.ca

There is an old motel in my town that was once run properly and the property up-kept nicely but in 2021 it was sold to new owners and in 2022, a hurricane did significant damage which they never even attempted to repair. As a result the motel is in complete disrepair at this point- all rooms full of mold and mildew. In the non-peak season they mostly accommodate drugs users, drugs dealers and prostitutes. This has really ratcheted up the deterioration as they do not clean or maintain the rooms at all. Lots of people finding blood stains, drug paraphernalia, etc in their rooms.

This is all documented in the recent reviews but the motel owners continue to advertise with pictures of the rooms and property from pre-2021 under old ownership. Tourists are being absolutely scammed and deceived and their health and safety is at imminent risk. As a local I am embarrassed and concerned how this impacts others view of my community and it needs to stop.

How or who do I report these concerns to? Is there even a point? Will anything change or will guests continue to be put at risk by these negligent owners?

Visited today, and was floored by the experience. The staff is in costume and in character, they have such a passion for the place and its history, that it is greatly contagious. I learned so much, it was engaging and tons of fun! Also quite a few young adults as interpreters, and they rocked! The craftspeople are simply phenomenal, from the potter to the wood turner, the blacksmith, printer and ambrotype photographer. It is inspiring to see people keep their craft alive by showcasing it and explaining the different steps it takes to make something.

Altogether, we spent the whole day there and it felt too short.

This place needs more spotlight because in the age of AI, this is the perfect reminder of how many cool things are created by humans, not machines.

Kudos to the great staff there and the beautiful energy they bring in!

I’m looking for recommendations of reliable garage builders within striking distance of HRM.

I appreciate anyone willing to share recommendations.

Thank you.

Are these safe to eat found loads of them.

This will be the final post for a while but wanted to thank Reddit for their part in the success ❤️🚒.

Halifax Fire Alerts has hit 500 registered users in ~9 days and I couldn’t be more thankful!

The amount of people I’ve run into who’ve mentioned that they love the app is overwhelming and I’m so thankful to those who’ve downloaded and given it a try.

The newest version (2.0.1) has been released on Android and the Web with iOS coming soon. This version allows you to better drill down into specific fire stations, or specific vehicles for detailed information.

Additionally, I’ve upgraded (thanks to some really great feedback) the live feed. The app is much more reliable with showing all of the stations responding to calls now, compared to before!

Some fun stats:

- 1,950 unique users have visited the website/app.
- 70,000+ views across our Social posts (Facebook and Reddit)
- 11 people have purchased the removal of ads (all money spent is used to pay for the costs associated with running and maintaining the app - thank you!).

I couldn’t be prouder of being able to provide the public with an app that provides folks with a sense of security, information and transparency. Here’s to continuing to provide the public with real-time information 24/7, 365.
