Enjoyed this one. My latest for @TwitCoast, on @classified's new album, Luke's View (premiering at midnight) -- as well as a dream-like career that's approaching 30 years and counting. "I had to figure it out my whole way." https://t.co/jDjxlzls2C

"I know I don't belong in the mainstream ... I have to maintain what it is that I do on the fringes. Because this is where my light still shines the brightest." For @TwitCoast, I spoke w/ @HawksleyWorkman ahead of his show at the Light House Arts Centre. https://t.co/k3qlKIY0U7

Twenty-five years on from his debut record, the Canadian troubadour beautifully marches on—and into Halifax for an Apr. 6 show.

French-language students on the peninsula aren’t sure where they’ll finish junior high school in 2026. Many CSAP families have lobbied for a high school to be built on the peninsula. But that hasn't happened. New from @lau_athletics: https://t.co/l2hN7ImFRV

After 2022 brought us a full-blown pizza war, a kitchen labour shortage and a buffet table of new waterfront restaurants in Halifax, you’d be forgiven for thinking that 2023 couldn’t possibly keep pace. Could it? @martin_bauman reports: https://t.co/WjJYqRkLko

From longtime favourites closing their doors to a wave of new restaurants and taprooms across the HRM, 2023 was never dull in Halifax’s food and drink scene.

In the shadow of #COP28, as climate scientists point to a shrinking window for meaningful action, a question looms: Why can't Nova Scotia phase out of fossil fuels faster? My latest for @TwitCoast: https://t.co/AiBAh2Ewpv
thecoast.ca
Amid global COP28 discussions, focus remains on the province’s plans for an 80% renewable grid by 2030. But there are other options to explore, policy analysts say.
