Beautiful! And a wonderful antidote to what you encountered within synod each day. Thanks for your excellent reporting, David.
I used to feed swans there, years ago…
It’s lovely. What does it call itself? (As I am trying to ‘put together’ a garden!)
Imaginatively enough, “The Public Gardens”. At least, I think that’s a picture of the public gardens.
Goodness, is that in Halifax? Those gardens look positively tropical!

They are called Spring Gardens.
As it appears that David’s coverage of General Synod from Halifax has ended, I wanted to give credit where credit is due and thank him for his work. You probably won’t be surprised that I didn’t appreciate some of the bias and barbs, but I knew going in those would be there. David your posts were quick, concise, immediate and accurate (except for some of the opinion) As a former journalist, I was impressed by your abilities and will freely admit that I got a good deal of information from GS via your reporting. Thank you for efforts, they are sincerely appreciated
Thanks Keith,
Bias and barbs? Surely you jest.
Besides, it’s the nature of the blog beast. I think it is actually more honest than mainstream journalism – you know what our bias is. I know that they teach you in journalism school that you have to be unbiased, but really, that’s impossible. Better to declare where you are coming from and get on with it than to try to hide your bias. It’ll always show, eventually.
#9 maybe on the blogs, where yes you know the slant before you click on. Journalists are not always supposed to be neutral, depending on the nature of the piece. When journalists blur the line between fact and opinion (usually to in honour of building careers and making dollars) the results can be problematic.
It can – I was thinking more broadly, though. If I pick up an Ottawa Sun and a National Post, I know how the stories in each are going to slant.
