Eve Travis has always admired Jeff Kilburn and is worried that his heart is broken when her cousin Moya dumps him for a British peer.

In search of a relatively flat cycling route that would show us an interesting cross-section of Halifax, we found our way to the Chain of Lakes Trail this afternoon. The trail runs 7¼ km, starting on Joseph Howe Boulevard and ending on Beechville Park Drive. It’s a completely separated-from-car-traffic paved trail...

Everything feels fair because the result went your way. Losing is the real test. When people do not get the result they expected, disappointment can quickly become anger....
