@CackowskiLiz 💙

This is so cool! I had a lot of challenges this year, but this is a great reminder that I celebrated an awful lot of wins too. I guess 2024 was a pretty good year, all things considered.

@docm77 Keep feeding that mind!

So far, it also seems it is quite universal. Not only language but also mathematics and general knowledge is well above average. Doccy wanted to learn about symetry today. Out of the blue, asked : what is symetry papa? I started to talk English with em now. Pretty intense, lol

@tara_taylor It’s not hard to vote early if it’s more convenient. I voted early in person over the weekend. People always have an excuse ready, even if it’s not a valid one.

I see people say things like “shouldn’t have left it last minute” or “these people shouldn’t vote if they didn’t plan ahead”. Yesterday was the election day FFS. Do we want an actual democracy? Are we okay with low voter turnout?

@MLimaBean Happy birthday!

It’s balloon day!

So when do we start eating the rich?

@nspc Funny, PCs were saying something very different during our contract negotiations last year.

Tonight's debate made it absolutely clear: Tim Houston and the PCs are the only ones who can Make it Happen with Lower Taxes, More Doctors, and Higher Wages. #vision #planthatsworking

@tara_taylor @NSNDP @ChenderClaudia It’s frustrating how they are left enough to split the vote but not left enough to make a difference. I would love to be proven wrong

I was going to volunteer for the @NSNDP in Antigonish but I won't feel comfortable doing that until I hear more details from @ChenderClaudia. This is so disappointing, and will cause the NDP to lose potential voters.

@safe_hrm Thank you for sharing

@TimHoustonNS No, they took the time to understand the reality of who they are serving. Potentially traumatizing refugee children is not the role of the armed forces.

In demanding that veterans and members of the Canadian Armed Forces not wear their uniforms while observing Remembrance Day, the leaders at this school are disgracing themselves while demeaning the people who protect our country. Remembrance Day is a day on which we honour those who serve and remember those who have sacrificed so much to keep us safe. Our veterans were never ashamed to wear their uniforms while protecting Canada and they should never be made to feel ashamed to wear their uniforms today.  If the people behind this decision had a shred of the courage that our veterans have, this cowardly and insulting idea would have been rejected immediately. In the Nova Scotia and Canada I know, our veterans will never be asked to hide who they are. Saying Lest We Forget is a solemn promise to the fallen, our veterans and those who continue to serve that we will pass our respect and gratitude to the next generation.  The decision makers at Sackville Heights Elementary School have forgotten this sacred obligation.

@FridayInHalifax @MLimaBean Last summer some people had their horses out around the neighbourhood and I wasn’t mad about it

@MLimaBean @ChadwickKHall Wild stock!

If we just banned roads, there’d be no traffic problems at all

@awhspeed We can’t fund any of the infrastructure we have and their solution is to collect less money. Pretty clear why Tim isn’t working as an accountant anymore.

20 years from now "why is our bridge in such poor condition? We're going to have to raise a bunch more taxes"

and it’s not even close

I watched this show as a kid and I always looked forward to hearing from The Professor. The intro to this clip encapsulates my philosophy as a teacher. youtu.be/4wzSKEruj70?si…

@deAdder Hey now lol

At least my name isn't Chad.

@CackowskiLiz I only know it from stories. Apparently the smell was very distinctive lol

@ChadwickKHall I’ve never heard it called a Gestetner before 😊

Using an overhead projector for a demo and having to explain to students what an overhead projector is 🤦🏼‍♂️ Reminds me of my dad telling stories about using the Gestetner

A lot of them are into 90s rock or as they say “the old stuff”… damn…

Random conversation with some students today lead to an impromptu analysis of the lyrics of American Jesus by Bad Religion and explaining what punk was youtu.be/12kcpP-8jfM?si…

@HalifaxReTales I didn’t know that was possible
