Halifax

The letter from Scotland was brought to him in the afternoon, having reached London by some day-mail from Glasgow.

He was sitting at his desk with a heap of papers before him, referring to a contemplated railway from Halifax, in Nova Scotia, to the foot of the Rocky Mountains.

It had become his business to get up the subject, and then discuss with his principal, Lord Cantrip, the expediency of advising the Government to lend a company five million of money, in order that this railway might be made it was a big subject and the contemplation of it gratified him it required that he should look forward to great events and exercise the wisdom of a statesman What was the chance of these colonies being swallowed up by those other regions, once colonies, of which the map that hung in the corned told so eloquent a tale? And if so, would the five million ever be repaid? And if not swallowed up, were the colonies worth so great an adventure of national money? Could they repay it? Would they do so? Should they be made to do so? Mr.

Lowe, who is now a QC and in Parliament, would not have greater subject than this before him, even if he should come to be Solicitor-General.

Lord Cantrip had specially asked him to get up this matter, and he was getting it up sedulously.

Once in nine years the harbour of Halifax was blocked up by ice.

He had just jotted down the fact, which was material, when Lady Laura's letter was brought to him.

He read it, and putting it down by his side very gently, went back to his maps, as though the thing would not so trouble his mind as to disturb his work.

"'I have been a governess for five years,' said she, "'in the family of Colonel Spence Munro.

But two months ago the Colonel received an appointment at Halifax in Nova Scotia, and took his children over to America with him, so that I found myself without a situation.' I advertised, and I answered advertisements, but without success.

At last the little money which I had saved began to run short, and I was at my wits' end as to what I should do.

There is a well-known agency for governesses in the West End called Westaways, and there I used to call about once a week in order to see whether anything had turned up which might suit me.

Welcome back to Loonie Hour, episode 259.

As always, joined by the three amigos, Mr. Richard Diaz, Keith Dicker over in Halifax.

We do have a third amigo joining us today.

So for all of you haters, Mr. Ben Rabidoux-

And then he kind of outlines all the other things, all the things that would oppose that.

So he talks about Black Mountain College or Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax in Canada.

And then he talks about St. Martin's in the late 1960s and Goldsmith.

So these kind of broad based art courses or art and design courses that would ask students to specifically kind of move around and not see themselves as limited by media but this whole this is then going to be a defense of okay but what about a BA painting undergraduate course

Oh, I'm in your neck of the woods.

I'm in a hotel here in Halifax, beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia, doing a little professional traveling.

Okay, this has nothing to do with the number 230.

That's something I know you're more keen to get into.

You want to start with yours? You got anything? I know you're traveling.

Do you know how to use stores in Halifax?

I don't have anything.

Now, move 100 headlines.

Giving you a heads up now to prepare you for another major road closure in Halifax.

Beginning September 21st until the end of November, a couple of months, the off-ramp from the McKay Bridge to Massachusetts Avenue and Robie Street will be closed for a rebuilding project.

The city says it's necessary because there's underground infrastructure that needs to be installed.
