This is utterly heartbreaking. How hard could it be to offer homeless people a central mailing address? ⁦@hfxpublib⁩ is this a service you could offer along with those great snacks? Friends shocked Halifax man found dead in parkade was homeless | CTV

This is worrisome given the clear evidence of risks for some women. The breast cancer that finally killed my mother was linked to her use of HRT. #breastcancer #HRT HRT demand expected to surge after new Davina McCall film on menopause

#DRUGALERT We’ve received reports that an unknown substance is circulating in the #Halifax area. It has led to a number of overdoses, including 2 deaths. The only description we have is that the drug may be being sold on a blotter (small squares of paper, typically used for acid)

Let's be perfectly clear: Sweden's experiment with herd immunity was a failure that resulted in the highest per capita COVID-19 death rate in the world in the last week. Guess it was wise to #StaytheBlazesHome #pandemic #FlattenTheCurve

Heard a piece of #Covid19 news today that may slightly reassure pregnant & lactating women. There's been no evidence of virus in breast milk from lactating women who have been infected. And no sign of women passing infection to their fetuses. Source: @CDCgov
