Nova Scotians want to protect nature for future generations — so why is the Houston government dragging its heels?
New polling from the EAC and Narrative Research shows that a clear majority of Nova Scotians want the provincial government to protect more land.

Every Nova Scotian should read this. There is so much detailed information here on how fracking was tried, was a disaster and the efforts made to get rid of it. Dalhousie’s current involvement is abhorrent to me. You’ll be angry after reading this but you’ll be very well informed. #nspoli

So far, a staggering 13.6 million Sudanese have been forced to flee, according to the World Health Organization’s estimate. The World Food Program has said the country is enduring the world’s largest hunger crisis. Over 40 percent of the population faces acute food insecurity; children are dying of malnutrition. High on the list of areas in the world where the United Nations has warned that hunger is at catastrophic levels are Gaza and Sudan. Despite all this, the crisis receives only a small fraction of the humanitarian aid that’s needed, in large part because of deep cuts in U.S. aid. Survivors of the war whom I saw in another town, Renk, arrived at a U.N.-run center there exhausted, devastated and hungry. They weren’t offered a warm meal, but a small biscuit. Sometimes there weren’t even biscuits, workers told me. Nearby, a transitional center run by the U.N. refugee agency provides beds and blankets to survivors, but it has long since run out of room; it was built for 3,000 people and now shelters some 9,000. Thousands of others who have fled to Renk, including families, sleep out in the open or in rough shelters they build themselves of sticks and cloth.
Elon Musk's legacy cannot be cars and rockets and robots. His legacy is starvation and human degradation and mass death.
This was a choice.

It's curious that the oil companies are making windfall profits so the response it to cut taxes on their products, which amounts to a subsidy on top of their windfall profits. Seems something is missing in this calculus 🤔

The Government promises to deal with affordability. Well start with those profiteers stealing our hard-earned money in plain sight.

This is how easy it is to register to vote in Canada, you check a box on your tax return. That’s it.

Yesterday, RCMP forced to walk off reserve with their assault rifles as vehicle are left behind, and vandalized. Why is the Canadian Media not covering this event . Remember Liberal “Rule of Law“ #NovaScotia #Indigenous #cdnpoli #canada #RCMP
CBC and CTV Maritimes are bombarded with Ontario gambling ads. FOR ONTARIO.

To me, this is the height of comedy.
So Nova Scotia Health have issued $3.7 billion worth of contracts NS Health since 2020.
The AG just said they are not tendered an lack justification.
Oh wait. The longest running interim CEO just did whatever the hell she wanted with no board oversight? #nspoli
People should protest more, only Conservative governments do this bullshit!

In a gross misuse of power, Speaker of the House Danielle Barkhouse has said the Nova Scotia Legislature will not reopen to the public until the people who contributed to a shutdown of government business last week have been identified and banned

Conservatives do not like to hear dissenting voices from the people they govern. Houston in particular has a history of denying access to the press as well as to ordinary citizens. They prefer to run a government like a business rather than a democracy.

ICYMI, I released Part 2 of my Football Primer series over the weekend. Talked about some basic terminology around different run game concepts. Inside Zone, Duo, Crack Toss, etc. Lots of diagrams! dustyevely.substack.com/p/football-p...
Cartoon with regional commuter saying that after making his choice to live in the suburbs, now he wants widened roads to drive smoothly through the city, lowering safety, health and quality-of-life in the city.
Remember, if you’re interested in what REALLY “drives” a lot of regional growth & infrastructure politics, it’s pretty much this.
Great drawing via Ian Lockwood.
And as feared the government is planning to pass the Appropriations Act (the budget bill) tonight - under cover of darkness while the majority of Nova Scotians are sleeping. I really hoped Houston wouldn’t stoop so low but he never disappoints. He’s an utter coward and a despicable POS.
Another cut by the Houston government 🤬🤬🤬 #NovaScotia #Fail
