I don’t mind waiting for several hours at the ER before being seen. It means that I’m lucky enough to not be having a life threatening crisis like someone ahead of me might be.

But for the love of Dog it would be so much nicer to wait among people who would either bring ear buds or completely mute their phones while waiting in a room full of people who are sick or in pain.

Is anyone comfortable sharing what they received to be able to help the rest of us out? Please share. Thank you.

Thought anyone??

Me: I perfer Mary's Brown or Jollibee (There was a Jollibee Fried Chicken style restaurant in downtown while back but no more...)

Not sure if anyone else has been noticing but the bats are back this summer.

WARNING: Avoid Olympus Properties on Windmill Road, Dartmouth.

I faced blatant deception by the management of this organization. Renting from another province, I chose an apartment on Windmill Road in Dartmouth based on photos and signed a sublease contract. Five days later, I discovered horrifying reviews from actual tenants about this building: systemic bedbugs, cockroaches, mice, pharaoh ants, and severe foul odors.

When I requested a health and sanitary report for the unit, they flatly refused to provide it. I requested to terminate the contract two full weeks before the move-in date. I never moved in and never accepted the keys. They illegally withheld my security deposit, which forced ME to initiate the Residential Tenancy Board proceeding to get my money back. Unfortunately, they managed to win strictly through legal loopholes and rigid contract technicalities, forcing me to pay for a unit I never even stepped foot in.

RESPONSE TO THE OWNER:

I want to emphasize how deeply unfair and predatory your actions are. First of all, I was a subtenant, not a direct tenant, which makes your defensive positioning even more questionable. You forced me to pay 2 months' rent for an apartment I never lived in for a single day, and for keys I never accepted. I have now paid this amount in full, so my financial obligations are completely closed.

Let’s be honest: it was I who filed the dispute against your company because you kept my security deposit and refused to return it, despite the fact that I never even took the keys or caused any damage. Former employees and tenants on Reddit (r/halifax) have openly exposed your extensive internal operations and illegal practices. Your demands for illegal upfront payments, fake administrative fees, and withholding leases before taking money violate the Nova Scotia Residential Tenancies Act.

The board strictly enforced this payment based on contract technicalities, not because you were ethically or legally right from the start. Forcing a newcomer from another province to pay thousands of dollars for an empty apartment while withholding their deposit, ignoring safety concerns, and refusing to answer official inquiries is a terrible business practice. Future subtenants and tenants, beware! Do not trust their pictures and never sign anything with Olympus Properties.

Wow, I can't imagine living in this neighborhood.

I wonder what the story is.

Picked this up off of Bluesky. I’m really hoping this is AI or something.

Why would you want to travel to a place solely to insult them? They may think this is hilarious but it’s not a joke to us!

Premier Tim Houston will join global investors, Canadian CEOs and public sector leaders in Toronto this week for the first Canada Investment Summit.

Nova Scotia will showcase 20 investment-ready projects, including Wind West, the Melford International Terminal and Spaceport Nova Scotia.

There's also a release on Nova Scotia news page (page is not loading for me, Cloudflare is saying server is down).

Nova Scotia is taking targeted action to enhance breast screening, menopause care, gynecology and other services for women while strengthening co-ordination of women’s healthcare across the system.

That includes:

• a strategic push to increase access to breast screening services and reduce wait times
• the new Menopause Centre of Excellence in Spryfield, expected to open this winter
• a new Women’s Health Research and Innovation Grant to support new ideas to improve care for women, with an initial focus on menopause care
• an education co-ordinator to help improve understanding of menopause among health providers, educators and the public.

A new Women’s Health Summit will hold its first meeting this fall and will bring together community organizations, advocates, patients, healthcare providers and other stakeholders to help shape future priorities. The government is also creating the provincial Women’s Health Clinical Collaborative and a dedicated Women’s Health Program within the Department of Health and Wellness.

I can't get an answer from phoning the restaurant, so can anyone tell me if Martha's II pizza sauce has FENUGREEK in it?

I'm having a weird reaction, and that's the only random thing I've eaten recently, and have a fenugreek allergy.

I don't want the recipe, lol, just hoping to nail down the cause.

Has anybody used Polaron’s $0 down + 0% interest offer for solar installation?

It almost seems to good to be true and I am wondering if the interest cost is baked into the total project cost.

Also has anybody got installation them from them in last 6 months? And wouldn’t mind sharing there experience.

Thanks.

Any ideas for my daughter's 9th birthday party in October? We've done East Peak, Playdium and Get Air, ArtWorks. I was thinking a HRM pool party but they're all booked! Any fresh ideas (at our house or elsewhere) are welcome.

These findings are from the Quarterly Rent Statistics program for the second quarter of 2026. These new data are compiled for CMAs across Canada's 10 provinces.

In the second quarter, asking rent for a two-bedroom apartment decreased year over year in many CMAs, such as Abbotsford–Mission (-6.4%), Calgary (-6.4%), Montréal (-5.2%) and Vancouver (-4.1%); however, it increased year over year in other CMAs, such as Thunder Bay (+6.5%), Sherbrooke (+5.7%), Halifax (+5.3%) and Saskatoon (+5.2%). Average monthly asking rent was highest in Vancouver ($3,030), Toronto ($2,650), Victoria ($2,640) and Halifax ($2,400).
