where in the world 181 peggy's cove nova scotia canada by KєєƒH Hєℓℓiทgєr📷🎬💻 Via Flickr: shot by KHWD want to see more images or read the blog? www.holiday2010.co.uk/novascotia Peggy’s Cove is a place that feels like it was plucked from a dream and set gently on the edge of the Atlantic 🌊. Here’s a deep dive into what makes it so captivating: ️ Where It Is Peggy’s Cove is a tiny fishing village on the eastern shore of St. Margaret’s Bay, about 45 minutes southwest of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Despite its small size—only about 30 year-round residents—it’s one of Canada’s most iconic coastal destinations. 🏠 The Village Vibe - Still an active fishing community, with colourful boats bobbing in the harbour and lobster traps stacked along the docks. - The homes and shops are perched on wave-washed granite boulders, giving it that rugged, postcard-perfect charm. - It’s also a Preservation Area, so development is carefully managed to protect its natural and cultural heritage. 🗼 Peggy’s Point Lighthouse - Built in 1915, this red-and-white lighthouse is one of the most photographed in the world. - It once doubled as a post office, where you could get your mail stamped with a special lighthouse postmark. - - A new accessible viewing deck now allows everyone to enjoy the sweeping ocean views safely. ♀️ The Legend of Peggy There are two tales behind the name: - Practical version: It was originally called Margaret’s Cove, after nearby St. Margaret’s Bay—“Peggy” being a common nickname. - Romantic version: A young woman named Margaret survived a shipwreck and was taken in by locals. She became known as “Peggy of the Cove” and inspired a local legend, museum, and even a series of books. 🎨 Art, Culture & Community - Visit the deGarthe Gallery, home to a 100-foot granite sculpture honoring Nova Scotia’s fishermen. - The Peggy of the Cove Museum, run by artist Ivan Fraser, is filled with whimsical tributes to the legend and local life. - The Peggy’s Cove Festival of the Arts each July brings plein air painters and local creatives together in a celebration of coastal beauty. Things to Do - Climb the granite rocks (carefully—avoid the black ones near the water’s edge). - Hike the Polly Cove Trail for dramatic coastal views. - Visit the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, a solemn and moving tribute just outside the village. - Shop local at artisan boutiques like Amos Pewter and Holy Mackerel, or grab a lobster roll at Tom’s Lobster Shack. ⚠️ Safety First The ocean here is beautiful but dangerous. Rogue waves can appear even on calm days, so heed the warning signs and stay off the slippery black rocks. ️ When to Visit - Open year-round, but May to October is best for full access to shops, restaurants, and events. - Sunrise and sunset are magical times for photography—especially with that lighthouse silhouette against the sky.

Canada is high on the list for countries with the best education systems; but its "support services" and importance placed on mental health and well-being that are reasons why they are high on the list, don't even result in anything actually helpful and effective from my experience and observation. Why would it? School vice principals and guidance counselors, social workers, anyone with the duty to support students, don't understand or know many (actually, countless) crucial things, which in turn affects their attempts at helping you. Another thing to consider in the first place is that the world itself with its people is extremely, unbelievably problematic and cruel and sad and flawed. That is important here obviously. They simply don't get it and therefore students (who may not even understand many of the same things themselves) feel unseen, unheard, misunderstood, not understood, confused, and angry. Those people with their roles think they are being of help or that they are dealing with the issue but they simply don't see, they don't see a lot of issues and things, they talk about the wrong things and say the wrongs and think and assume the wrong things, unintentionally cause harm, etc. Those wack mental health and crisis helplines/hotlines are exactly that; wack. Useless. There are so many problems with it. I have direct experience and I am speaking based on that, and my experience was far from..."helpful". It simply just doesn't work. They act like counseling or therapy and mental health support services like those hotlines are a big fix, a solution, or significantly or genuinely effective and helpful. But none of it is what they think it is. There are various issues, a ginormous, complex web of interconnection that is always, at every moment, present everywhere, many of which I am not even aware of myself. Those hotlines are just ridiculously unimpactful (well, positively) to the point that they're laughable.

Besides from all of that, students have to go to school early in the morning and finish around 2 or 3 of course (that is, if they don't have extracurriculars after), and they have assignments and projects to complete at home. Additionally, they have to do 40 hours of mandatory volunteer work that, obviously, they don't get paid for. On top of that, they have to work or get/have a job so they can save up money in order to make paying for their next step easier, and living on their own if they want to move out (probably because they loathe their family) easier (and this is extremely common). Kids as young as 15 work a job to do that. Teenagers also have to participate in extracurricular activities and invest time and energy in that if they want to increase their chances at getting into a good university. That's not exclusive to Canada, in fact, none of what I am saying is.

These school systems (including colleges and universities), in the first place, are not even designed to suit, adapt and adjust to, support, and work for individuals and individual needs + differences. Differences in learning styles, capabilities, (natural) skills, talents, potential, circumstances, problems, etc. Psychological differences as well. But people don't even have a clue about that (yet?) unfortunately. The systems are not built that way, and they were not set up for the students or the public, with the people that will be participating within it in mind and being prioritized. They still follow the old traditional system, which has many problems of its own. College/university is absurdly expensive and leave people with debt. They expect us to fit into one big box, and to function well. Sure, inside that system they may be apparently "improving" things and may include and offer certain "options" and alternative pathways in order to support and help us somehow individually. But it is barely much. It's almost nothing. And oh, the illusion of choice. We don't realize just how little control we actually have over our own lives and paths, just how controlled we are [instead], how in actuality, we have very little choice and even every single one of those choices that we make are not free from the influence of a billion things, and the illusion of "options" and "choices" and "paths" that is created to give us the idea or false sense that we have freedom or control (funny) and the power to choose/decide when in reality, only it is withheld that it is determined and decided for us by others what choices, paths, and options we receive or have in the first place, and what those even are. We don't decide that. Within those meager sets of options, we pick. We have choices, albeit a very narrow set of them, but what those choices are is predetermined for us. We don't decide what we choose between/among; not that I am saying that is what we need or should have necessarily, either. But we are so deeply entrenched in this order of things and have been for so long, we barely realize any of this. Even if we become aware, we easily forget or it slips away, and it is difficult to truly grasp and internalize it or incorporate it into our viewpoint. And that is, of course, just a result of this very large and complex system.

We don't decide whether we pay for water or not. We don't decide to not work. Even if you do, you have to rely on others and somebody else who does work, to survive. Everybody depends on everybody, all the time. We don't decide to participate in or not, be part of or not, this unfair, cruel, harrowing, tormenting, and torturous system. We have no choice but to live and participate within the broad systems and structures we are existing in; that is what we have and that is what we have to accept. We don't decide how we are shaped and impacted every moment of our lives since birth by the people around us, and our parents and siblings and family and routines and structures, or the words we hear and the tones with which we are spoken to, the facial expressions we are shown and the ways we are treated, the actions that affect us and what we observe, what we learn and are taught directly or indirectly, the various forms of media we discover and consume and absorb, and the narratives and stories we are fed, and the information we are told about, what we experience and what we see and what we watch and what we read, and anything and everything that ever happens to us or is done to us. We don't control how any of those things mold us and impact us, and we also don't control or decide the "what" (what those things are and are like, etc). You don't choose how you are influenced and you don't choose what influences you (which is everything, in some way) and what those things are like or all the processes [by which you experienced/read/watched/found/saw something, for example]. Behind something is another thing, behind everything is another thing, and another behind that, and that, and so on. There are various things behind anything. Everything is behind everything. Everything is behind every decision you ever make. When you choose a movie to watch, there is already an entire complex history and web of events, occurences, influences, processes, ways you were impacted and shaped, things you read or heard or found, everything, that led to that moment where you pick that particular movie. Many of those things were chosen by you, and many weren't, and the things that were chosen by you, had everything behind it. Your choice of the movie and the very fact that you even decided to watch a movie — that whole complicated history is behind that.

It probably would be very difficult for these school systems to 'tailor to' every individual or be able to support and work for them personally according to their needs and who/what they are, and I don't have any ideas about a better system myself due to my lack of knowledge, but that doesn't mean the status quo cannot be criticized. In fact, it is very much in need and deserving of scrutiny (as well as insults). I can still criticize and question it even if it would be difficult to achieve something greater, or there is no obvious "better" alternative, because it is still severely harmful and just tragic, honestly. It collectively causes serious harm and damage, a lot of which isn't immediately obvious or recognized [at all, or ever].

Perhaps Canada is just high on the global list because it really is still better compared to most other education systems. You can't even trust the information you read, or the sources where you read them, it can give you a positive impression of something if you haven't experienced/seen/had/used/it, etc., but who is writing this information? Who are the people gathering the information and how? What do they know? What is behind it all? Aren't there things they're missing? Aren't there problems and issues they can't see? What is the process, exactly? There are things they aren't considering and aren't basing whatever they are writing on. There are things they are basing what they're writing on, that shouldn't be used as foundations. There are various things they are misunderstanding. There are things they think are true or right or good, when they aren't those things, at all. This just makes you more distrustful and skeptical of official and established things, lists, information, and descriptions. Remember, "official" doesn't [always] mean true or good or correct/accurate.

The Wreck of The McIntosh

If you work on the water for long enough, you start to see things. If you decide to stay on the job afterwards, you start to accept them.

I was young when I joined The McIntosh’s crew, a cargo ship transporting logs from Canada to Michigan over Lake Superior. The other men on the ship told me their ghost stories at night, but I never believed them until I started seeing things for myself.

The McIntosh is named after the man who designed her, Fredrick Vaughn McIntosh. He spent the last half of his life making her the fastest, most efficient ship on the Superior. Stories say he loved her more than his own wife, Marianne. The first night she set sail after her completion, Fredick died on the bow. They say the crew found him with a glass of wine still clutched in his hand, head turned toward the sunset. When I saw him for the first time, standing in the same place he died, watching the horizon, I hadn’t realized who he was. When I questioned how he got on board, he just smiled and said, “Isn’t she a beauty?” before fading away. I was terrified, running to the bridge as quickly as my legs could take me. Everyone laughed after I told them what happened.

“He’s harmless, don’t worry too much about him, yeah?” The captain said, patting me on the shoulder.

“Yeah,” another crewmate said, “it’s that old weeping widow you gotta worry about!”

The crew burst out laughing again as I demanded her story. Twenty years ago, one of the crewmembers, a man named Henri Tautou, died during a storm on their way back home. A wave hit the side of the ship and the giant cedar logs came loose, sending him into the water. His wife, Angela, so overcome and distraught with grief, snuck onto the ship and jumped overboard, joining her husband at the bottom of the lake. Some say you can still hear her moans of agony during storms, late at night, and if you’re not careful, she’ll take you with her to their watery grave.

After a while, the ghosts that haunted the ship stopped scaring me. What I saw on the Superior is a different story.

When you hear sailor stories, they’re usually about beautiful women singing their siren song, but all I ever heard was screaming. The first night I heard it, I ran to the side of the ship, searching frantically for its source. In the distance, illuminated by the full moon’s bright light, I saw a figure standing on top of the water, reaching their hands out towards me. I only got a glance before hands were pulling me back, my name being cursed.

“You must never pay heed to the demons of the lake, boy!” A crew member, an old man with an angry face only ever called Haggard, yelled as he roughly pulled me below deck. “They’ll swim off with your soul, do you understand!?”

Despite Haggard’s warning, I was intrigued. Any moment I could spare, I was at the bow, gazing into the water. I learned that there was a whole world under the surface. Humanoid creatures with fins and long, stringy hair would inspect the boat, banging on the metal with stones to listen to the echo. Some would spot me and wave with their pale, webbed hands. Others would screech and dive below the surface, never to be seen again.

Occasionally, Fredrick would join me. He did and said the same thing each time, like a broken record, perhaps reliving his last moments on earth. My Ma always warned me about meddling with the dead, but I didn’t consider it meddling. I never spoke to him, we just watched the sunset, and he’d say his line; “Isn’t she a beauty?”

A year and a half into my time on The McIntosh, I started smuggling extra food onboard to feed the creatures. The merpeople had their own language that I couldn’t understand, but they learned my name, and I theirs. With a basket tied to a rope, we’d pass each other trinkets. They loved most dearly the jewelry I would bring them, and I adored their shells and agates.

The creature I was most taken with was what I could only describe as a mighty dragon. The first time I saw her, I thought I was dreaming. I was gazing over the side of the ship, like I usually did, when a darkness overtook the water. I had looked up, thinking a cloud had shielded the sun, but that wasn’t the case. The great mass in the water was longer than The McIntosh, its sleek, scaled head, peering up at me from just below the surface. I stared back in absolute shock, horror, and wonder, pondering if this was my last moment on this earth. However, she only stared at me, her shining, amethyst eyes piercing my very soul. I gave her that name, and told her as much. She looked wholly unimpressed, seeming to roll her eyes at me before swimming off. Yet, she came back the next night, and all of the ones after. She became my closest friend, and I loved her, but the time I would spend at the bow had been noticed by the crew, and they were unhappy.

On the third night of The McIntosh’s last sail, I stood at the bow, a pistol in hand.

“You can’t hurt her, she’s peaceful, and my friend.”

“That thing is a beast! You’ve brought death onto this ship, and if you don’t move aside and let us take care of it, you will be cut down, too!”

The crew yelled in anger, torches and petrol cans in hand as I pleaded with them, but they were too overcome with fear to understand that the lake and its creatures weren’t what we thought they were. For so long we lived afraid and unwilling to accept the world as it is. In that moment, I worried that it was too late for change.

“Amethyst, you must leave. Never return to the surface!” I cried behind me, at the beautiful sea dragon in the water below. With a look as sorrowful as she could make, she disappeared into the inky depths, and my heart sank with her.

“You were never meant for life on the water, boy,” Haggard growled, moving to the front of the crew. “I knew that as soon you stepped on deck. You’re weak. You got no guts.”

So overcome with grief, I didn’t act quickly enough to stop him from driving his filet knife into my stomach.

As if a siren went off, all around us, the lake wailed in agony. I saw the crewmembers cover their ears against the noise, before a large, black mass shot out of the water and landed on the ship as I went overboard.

As I sunk deeper into the lake, icy, webbed hands stroked my face and hair. Through blurry eyes, I saw the merpeople gathered around me, weeping as they pulled the knife from my stomach. The pain faded as I looked up at a great, yellow light on the surface; fire encasing the sinking ship as the crew jumped into the water, dodging debris and spears as the creatures of the lake attacked.

Amethyst swam under me, allowing me to rest on her back, as my eyes slid shut, and water filled my lungs.

Powering Digital Innovation: Canada's Rise in Mobile and Web App Development

But mobile apps are just one piece of the puzzle. In today’s competitive environment, businesses also need powerful web platforms to connect with customers and operate efficiently. This is where comprehensive web app development services come into play. These services go beyond simple website creation—they involve the development of dynamic, scalable, and secure applications that live on the web and support mission-critical business operations.

Web app development services include everything from front-end UI/UX design to back-end system architecture and integration with APIs and databases. Companies offering these services understand the need for performance, security, and scalability. Canadian firms are increasingly recognized for their ability to develop applications that are not only functional but also visually compelling and user-friendly. These solutions are often tailored specifically to the client’s industry, goals, and customer needs.

One of the main drivers of this rise in Canada’s digital development sector is the high quality of talent and infrastructure. Canadian developers are known for their strong educational backgrounds, fluency in the latest coding languages, and commitment to best practices.

What makes Canadian companies truly competitive in both mobile and web application development is their emphasis on collaboration and communication. Clients are not kept in the dark; instead, they’re part of the process—from ideation and prototyping to development and post-launch support. This results in better products and stronger long-term relationships.

In addition, the use of agile methodologies and continuous delivery models ensures that development remains flexible, fast, and adaptive to changing requirements. It’s no longer about launching a product and forgetting it; it’s about iteration, feedback, and continuous improvement. That’s how leading providers of web app development services are staying ahead of the curve.

Another noteworthy player in this space is cybrcoast.com, once again proving the importance of expertise combined with innovation. Their commitment to quality, on-time delivery, and client satisfaction makes them a trusted name in the industry, helping businesses unlock their digital potential.
