FYI: the very good people of Nova Scotia send Boston MA a Christmas tree every year because of MA rushing to their aid decades ago after a catastrophic explosion there.
We remember our friends and neighbors. We reject Trump and his mobsters.

I love the story behind this tradition so much.
The tree is an annual gift from the province of Nova Scotia to the City of Boston in recognition of the aid sent following the Halifax Explosion in 1917.

Since 1971, Nova Scotia has sent Boston a Christmas tree every December — thanks for the relief train Massachusetts rushed to Halifax within hours of the 1917 Explosion, which killed nearly 2,000. Boston's 2025 tree: a 45-ft spruce from Lunenburg County.

Relations with Canada are getting so bad, I wonder if Nova Scotia is going to skip giving Boston its tree this year? It's been over a century since the Halifax Explosion, perhaps the debt has been repaid. novascotia.ca/treeforboston/
