My Take with Sheldon MacLeod
My Take with Sheldon MacLeod
Finding the silver lining in the rain clouds
5 JUN 2023 · It is devastating and heartbreaking to see the people affected by the losses from the wildfires in Nova Scotia. And it is heartwarming and inspiring to see the response from caring people who want to make a difference.
Letting illegal burns go unpunished comes at a huge cost
31 MAY 2023 · Firefighters have been on the scene of fires across the province over the last few weeks. Those and the three raging out of control are all likely the result of human activity. When there seems to be no penalty for violating the fire ban, it ends up costing all of us. And some, a lot more than others.
Prepare for 72 hours home or away
30 MAY 2023 · We often hear about preparing for hurricanes and winter storms and being able to be on your own for at least 72 hours. Not many of us think about being told to leave our homes and not come back for three days because of the danger. And there's lots of good advice coming from some of the 16,000 Nova Scotians who have had that recent experience.
Five alarm fires and no rain in sight
29 MAY 2023 · It's shocking how quickly we can be pulled out of our lives by something unexpected or out of control. And in the case of the wildfires, we can be grateful that so far no one has been injured — or worse.
Hope for humanity and wildlife
26 MAY 2023 · She didn't try and make her case to the public. Instead, Hope Swinimer was prepared to defend her actions and her reputation in a courtroom this week. And in the end, the https://www.saltwire.com/atlantic-canada/news/permit-charge-against-hope-for-wildlife-founder-dismissed-after-crown-offers-no-evidence-100856835/ delivered justice to the woman who has committed her life to helping animals.
Sherri Aikenhead and Karissa Boudreau
25 MAY 2023 · Someone in the audience asked about getting people to talk about a horrific crime against a child. And in the end, the people who shared their stories helped get the truth on the record about the girl who will forever be 12-years old.
Security between a rock and a hard place
24 MAY 2023 · No public inquiry but public meetings. And that recommendation into the allegatitions of electoral interference by the Chinese puts the Prime Minister between a rock and a hard place.
Where were you when the pandemic ended?
19 MAY 2023 · It may be a distinction without a difference. Thttps://www.saltwire.com/atlantic-canada/news/covid-19-no-longer-a-global-health-emergency-but-nova-scotia-keeping-protocols-in-place-100852227/. And it seems most of us weren't waiting on the announcement that passed by without any major fanfare.
Another lesson in mortality and humanity
17 MAY 2023 · There are somethings in life that are unavoidable. And as a society, we talk a lot about taxes. Death; not so much. And maybe for some things, the old ways helped us make sense of things in the circle of life.
When nobody profits and it helps everybody
12 MAY 2023 · This week I met a former soldier who is living in Nova Scotia. And he and a few others have formed a group to support each other and to serve people in need. And he and the folks with The https://www.strayboar.ca/ Project are interested in doing something that seems unheard of these days.
