This has played out exactly the way Environment Canada and Peter Coade predicted on 18-19 August (see my earlier post): A much-diminished storm that has remained well offshore from Nova Scotia.
And I must say that I am somewhat disappointed by certain posters on here who reacted somewhat imperiously to my suggestion yesterday that this storm would be a non-event for Halifax.
Incidentally, Piers Corbyn was also right on the money when he predicted several days ago that Bill would track slightly to the right of projections. I'll be following Mr Corbyn's forecasts more closely from now on.

Every forecast I saw, including the ones you mentioned, had Bill going east of Nova Scotia. Still, it's always a good idea to treat such storms with caution until they pass. One storm 'behaving' as forecasted does not mean the next one will. We have had certain posters learn this firsthand the hard way in the past, unfortunately.
