I guess it was bound to happen. Hopefully this will be good for a smaller venues though, as people such as myself who do not want to associate with Ticketmaster will choose events at any other venue over the Scotiabank Center now.

I'm blatantly borrowing an idea I saw in the Montreal community...

Would anyone be interested in a virtual book club featuring books set in Halifax, or perhaps the Maritimes more broadly? A thread could be opened and run for a set time (maybe a month), after which a new book would be chosen.

A couple of possibilities off the top of my head. Both are available through HPL and the Libby app.

If a few folks are interested, I would be happy to facilitate the first thread and come up with some discussion questions. ๐Ÿ˜„

I'd like to buy plexiglass for a kids play house but I would like to buys things locally rather than on Amazon if possible. It would be nice if I can get it precut in 16x16 squares but I can cut it myself if I have to. Does anyone know a good place to go? Thanks

While "fix everything" is a bit ambitious, this seems like a step in the right direction. I'm not sure I trust our current council to work toward such a plan with any sort of urgency, considering the numerous delays on something as basic as tap-to-pay transit... but shoot for the moon, I guess.

What do you think?

Although I lost power briefly just after midnight, I had no strikes near me.

I only found out about Lemmy when looking for reddit alternatives over the API drama.

It was probably a long time coming for me as over the years reddit has been less and less of a community and more business-like. I very much enjoy the decentralized nature of Lemmy and I really hope the Fediverse catches on at a wide scale.
