I love when weird or overly specific regulations are purged from New Brunswick laws:
Bars were able to stay open an hour later from February 7-10 2008. The reason: Fredericton was hosting the East Coast Music Awards.
Cabinet finally repealed it in March, 18 years later.

Two takes on Hannay: “important and still-relevant historical writings” (nble.lib.unb.ca/browse/h/jam...) vs. “energetic scribblings all but forgotten” (www.biographi.ca/en/bio/hanna...).

Parliament Hill has its own micro climate with a wall of fog between West Block and Confederation.

Carney is removing the federal excise tax on fuel until Labour Day weekend, a move he said will drop gas prices by 10 cents/litre and diesel prices by 4 cents/litre. It does not appear the GST is being removed on fuel.
I encourage everyone to follow my neighbor and friend Alfred Leblanc @alfredjleblanc.bsky.social who has long been chronicling Cape Breton, where he is originally from, and has more recently added the people of the Ottawa Valley
Who can forget Dief's landmark "We Are Stardust" speech?
Keep thinking that.
A female mallard has what looks like an iced-cap lid around its neck. You can see where water is collecting in the lid as the duck swims.
Never sure what to say or even if I should post but I've seen two waterfowl in the past two weeks with plastic on them. One was this Mallard the other a Black Scoter on the Northumberland Strait.

Canada’s federal Conservative caucus has now yielded the Carney Liberals as many seats as Prince Edward Island.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
