@TSNCurling Hi. Love the Briar coverage from NL. Favour to ask- when updating other sheets, commentator often uses curlers first name only. Some of us don't know men's first names. Could you use last names too? Thx
@GarrethMD hi. Thanks for broadcast. Watching/listening thru FloHockey. FYI- When you go to break, your mic is still hot. Can hear conversation w producer. Thought you'd want to know.
@adriearsenault hi. Watching from NS. Thx for your commentary. Am very disappointed CBC went to split screen to air ads during opening ceremony tho. Very disappointing. Please feel free to pass along our disappointment to the producers.
@GarrethMD hi. Curious as to why ur feed on Flo is so much lower than what we hear in rink. You're drowned out by rink announcer when goals/penalties r announced. Is it a FloHockey thing?
@TSN_Sports great coverage of tennis. Would suggest female commentator show a little less favoritism toward Gauff. Commentators should be unbiased on air. Thanks
@jonmonty Hi! Live AR Canada & you as host. Could you convince producers/directors not to chose "professional reality gamers" as contestants tho? Thanks!
Good morning all:
Effective immediately, I have decided to take a break from the day to day operations of HRMFireNews. For most of a decade now, the operations of this fire news outlet have been an all-consuming every day commitment. One cannot do such things forever.
Despite the occasional rant/troll/dust up, this has been a tremendously positive experience. That said, quite frankly, I am tired out.
The time required to do this correctly, in the way I want, is substantial. It is an every day thing, and it times, it completely takes over life. To operate that way has been a choice of mine and a fulfilling one, but I’ve also found myself looking ahead and somewhat dreading continuing to be glued to my keyboard. This is new and has caused me to re-evaluate.
Half-assing it isn’t an appealing option. I’ve always felt I would only do this as long as I could give 100% commitment.
While many things have changed for the better and I feel this project has accomplished lots, I am fatigued. I can’t tackle advocating on certain issues with the same enthusiasm I used to and while keeping the public informed during emergencies is a privilege, like I said, it’s hard to maintain that pace forever as a hobby. I've basically been giving the fire gods a free claim on all my spare time for most of a decade, which is tough to maintain.
I will be honest, I do not know if this is a temporary or permanent break. Since starting the page, I have not spent any serious amount of time away from the page, so this will be new. I’m going to simply put things on hold for now and give thought to next steps.
To the members who are pushing for positive change: keep pushing. HRFE has an amazing number of incredibly capable, talented, and knowledgeable people who have made things better and will continue to. Much change is needed but the public is in good hands.
I need some time to think about what, if anything, I want to do next, and in order to do that, I need to get away from all of this.
To head off any questions that may follow, I should note there is nothing personally wrong. Also, nobody has forced or pushed me into doing this in any way, shape, or form. I simply have decided to think about the future.
To be honest, I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while but given the Tantallon Fire and the floods that followed last year I felt a responsibility to try to keep people informed through the full unfolding of those events from end to end, including the PIA.
I appreciate everybody’s tremendous support, including the public who follow and the many members who provide information/insight etc. Thank you. There are too many people to thank individually, but seriously, thank you.
In other news, I'm really, really, really looking forward to going hours or weeks or days or months without addressing "what's going on near so and so" or the latest problem.
After today, I will not be posting, responding to DMs, or writing the Sunday update during this hiatus. I will make a further announcement later on once I’ve finished reflecting on the future of the page.
Thank you all and enjoy your long weekends.
@Bill_Zebedee@DarrenFisherNS@SamAustinD5 Is this same company who continues work at Horizon Court complex that the city has revoked permit from developer and has appeal before courts?

@eastlinkmavs thanks for the coverage of CB-CHI. Appreciated!! The "etch-a-sketch" term is getting a little tired tho 😁. Do appreciate the coverage though!!
@TSNCurling Could the commentator remember airing time & talking about upcoming games. Watching the CDA-NOR game, taped from earlier. Announcer said CDA plays SWE "tomorrow night". True watching live, not accurate if watching tape broadcast. Clearer to say the day itself. Thanks
Nova Scotia is presenting a comprehensive plan to reduce emissions that is better than a carbon tax. I look forward to the Prime Minister accepting this plan and working with us to implement it.
