| 1640301587129147392 | @HalifaxEditor Would love, just once, to see a prospective worker interviewed for ANY of these articles: "The pay ethic is just not there with employers. No one wants to pay their employees a proper wage anymore. It's because of all the government subsidies business gets." | 4 |
| 1638589677706911768 | @HalifaxEditor It could be one person in a mental health crisis who needs space to be talked down. It could be 22 murders by a fake cop. You'll find out by the end of the week, probably, why are you in such a rush to know anyway | 1 |
| 1639232495248982016 | @HalifaxEditor Seems like a standard vehicle-infrastructure collision with the vehicle sustaining non-life threatening injuries | 1 |

| 1640757232890421256 | @FridayInHalifax @HalifaxEditor Kinds like when Marc Maron hawks that coffee on WTF and describes the impact it has on his pants. | 1 |
| 1641158350955069440 | @rickconrad @HalifaxEditor .@Tim_Bousquet and other reporters got embargoed copies of the 3,000 page report today. I wonder if @NSMassCasualty will go so far as to admit #TraumaInformed testimony was a huge mistake? Can’t imagine they will. It was all by design to minimize liability for AG and RCMP. | 1 |
| 1639262628651360261 | @jillreports @CityofVancouver Hey @jillreports, I've figured out the cause of the incident pictured. Hint 1: It wasn't an inanimate object. Hint 2: It wasn't an it, but a who. h/t @HalifaxEditor | 0 |

| 1640311084018987008 | @HalifaxEditor "She said that while some applicants have experience and drive, they're also seeking higher wages." -business owner OMG people with experience and additional skills want to be paid for those. How dare they. | 36 |
| 1640318160480993288 | @HalifaxEditor Nova Scotia's tourism industry is still based on the notion students have cars, live in cheap apartments, and will earn enough from a low-wage summer job to cover their living expenses and tuition for the next year. | 28 |
| 1640306649536647169 | @HalifaxEditor It’s a trend for employers struggling to recruit to blame a generation rather than create a workplace that attracts workers | 16 |
| 1640302022388842497 | @HalifaxEditor There is no place for people to live in rural Cape Breton for them to be able to supply workers. Even in medium sized rural communities Air BNBs take up the scarce capacity that there is left for rental housing. | 13 |
| 1640692723630985216 | @HalifaxEditor And let's not forget about the politicians. It can't be a coincidence that @StephenMcNeil, Mark Furey (former cop, @NS_Justice) and Chuck Porter (@nsemo) - the 3 key NS ministers - all got the hell out of Dodge. Bill Blair (former cop) got bounced as well. @LiberalPartyNS | 12 |

| 1640676366499602432 | @HalifaxEditor No accountability for incompetent police? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. | 10 |
| 1640680435737931776 | @HalifaxEditor That coffee this morning was so impactful | 9 |
| 1640302684296081408 | @HalifaxEditor also our rural location which pretty much forces people to be dependent on car because we have failed to develop any model of transportation and sustainable living is not attractive to many. | 9 |
