From time to time, you'll find a link to something on the internet that comes up as "404" meaning it doesn't exist, has been moved, or has a dead or broken link. But other times, information about someone that is wrong or incomplete is online and viewable forever. That seems unfair.

First of all, this has nothing to do with the former US President. But it does have to do with how much anxiety there is these days about the perception of risk versus what the statistics tell us.

Some people say everything happens for a reason. And sometimes I say, as humans we can find a reason for everything happening. And a post about Ray Zinck brought back a flood of memories for me today.

Today is the day Nova Scotians find out how the government plans to spend tax dollars over the next fiscal year. But last year's predicted deficit turned out to be a $3.5 billion surplus after the ledgers were balanced. What are the lessons learned?

At the same time Nova Scotia is trying to lure construction workers to Canda's Ocean Playground, Alberta is making a pitch for workers here to head out West. And at the same time, governments are trying to find housing for people to live in, while they build housing. If you have kids in high school, there's a lesson here.

Money doesn't buy happiness. But it can help you buy a house and have a better work life balance. And I think there's a good reason why the government's "thank you" bonus of $10-thousand will help the helpers.

It's something you hear from opposition politicians when they feel they have leverage. Are you better off now that you were a year ago? And with raging inflation and rising interest rates, it's pretty easy for most Canadians to answer that question. But what does it mean for the upcoming provincial and federal budgets?

I noticed there were a lot of excited people who got their tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Burr in Halifax this August. They still haven't announced the Saturday night headliner of The Great Outdoor Comedy Fest. I've noticed a few things that I thought I'd point out since some of the comments about the ticketing process weren't so positive.

Vinyl records outsold compact discs in 2022, the first time that's happened since 1987. And there's a lot of memories created by music and the various forms we've consumed it over the years.

Maybe I should give more credit to the people who show up with protest signs at events where the Prime Minister is attending. At least they are publicly showing the person they're unhappy with how they feel. The people attacking the local businesses online after the Bridgewater announcement may be some of the same group, but it doesn't have the same impact.
