“I’ve always loved baking, both my grandmothers and my mom taught me well. I learned the basics from them. I took a cake decorating course many years ago and made cakes for people’s birthdays and cakes and cupcakes for weddings,” said Moore.For Patti Moore, going all out on her holiday cookies is about more than just spreading Christmas cheer. It also helped cheer her up during a difficult time in her life.
Baillie Arseneau of Spryfield, N.S. is also known for her holiday cookies and has always been creative in this way as well from the time she was a child. “During the last number of years, making cookies has helped me through my breast cancer and my second mouth cancer. So, for me, making cookies is more than just the process, it’s my therapy.”
“I find the best for painting is either ginger snap or sugar cookies, and it has to be stiff royal icing,” said Arseneau.“I’m not know for a specific design, just known as the Cookie Lady,” Moore said, laughing. “If anyone wants to start making and decorating cookies, I’d say just buy a couple of cookie cutters and have fun. I probably have over a hundred of them now,” said Moore.

‘Procedural cat-fishing’: final proposal for Nova Scotia riding redraw raises ireThe final proposed new federal riding boundaries for Nova Scotia have caught at least one MP by surprise, with Sydney–Victoria Liberal MP Jaime Battiste saying the late-stage decision to significantly shrink and redraw his riding—removing Mi’kmaw communities in the process—without proper consultation is “deeply concerning” and goes against the principals of reconciliation. “I was absolutely shocked, actually, and deeply concerned,” Battiste told The Hill Times about seeing the federal riding boundaries put forward in the Nova Scotia redistribution commission’s final proposal, which was tabled in the House of Commons on Nov. 17. “The most recent map is a total deviation from what they originally proposed. To me, it felt very much like procedural cat-fishing,” said Battiste, who is a Mi’kmaq from Potlotek First Nation. “Taking an entire Mi’kmaw community out … without consultation is not consistent with reconciliation and is not consistent with the fiduciary duty that we owe to communities, and not consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People that requires full, prior, and informed consent before any kind of administrative bodies make decisions affecting their rights.” In the commission’s first proposal in April, the Nova Scotia riding of Sydney–Victoria had been left untouched. Currently, it includes the entire county of Victoria, and stretches from Cape Breton Highlands National Park, around much of Bras d’Or Lake—capturing the Eskasoni Mi’kmaw Nation, Wagmatcook First Nation, and other communities—to just past the city of Sydney.
