Speaking of Boston, unless this really go to shit.... I wonder who pays the tariff (sarcasm ) on Nova Scotia's tree sent every year at Christmas as a thank you for the help, re #halifaxexplosion #tarrifftyrant

Bon voyage #TreeForBoston. Halifax and the rest of Nova Scotia will never forget Boston’s kindness in the aftermath of the #HalifaxExplosion in 1917. 🎄
Today a Christmas Tree was cut down in Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. Every year, Nova Scotia sends the City of Boston a Christmas tree to thank them for the help they provided after the 1917 Halifax Harbour Explosion.

There's a date in Canadian history I just can't find any time for humour. Today's that day. #halifaxexplosion #EcolePolytechnique Lives lost by disaster, lives lost by hatred. It must be the saddest day. May both never happen again!

I wonder if we could recreate the understanding, compassion and initiative to create housing for the unhoused like we did 106 years ago after the #HalifaxExplosion.

Or are we really that selfish?

Last night at home. Children tucked in. Lunches packed. Handkerchiefs washed, ready for pockets. Dishes put away. In the morning, 1 in 25 people in Halifax would be killed. Many more blinded, injured & homeless. #HalifaxExplosion

News of the disaster reached the city of Boston the same morning. That night a train loaded with supplies & volunteers left for Halifax. #HalifaxExplosion

Dear Canadians (especially those from Halifax):

On behalf of the City of Boston, I just want to note that we really do like the tree and know why you send us one every year. (The news covers it. It’s a whole thing)

It’s a lovely tree. Glad we could help. 💙

For those not in or from Halifax, today at 0905 Atlantic time, marks the 108th anniversary of the largest non-nuclear man made explosion. The #halifaxexplosion killed over 2000 and injured over 9000. We'll never have the exact figures because of the toral devastation.
