Protest signs from a rally in downtown Halifax, demonstrating against proposed budget cuts to many social programs These posters show people are unhappy with the premier including one that says “Houston we have a problem. Keep Nova Scotia vibrant. Support arts and culture “

Went to the New Budget Now rally. Amidst the signs, chants & music there was good news: government has walked back SOME cuts.

YET: museums, arts & youth programs, climate action, & much more is still on the chopping block.

Speak out, write your MLAs, keep the pressure on!

Guess I’m off to Halifax again

Deep cuts to education, arts, environment &more

The Premier’s budget priorities show who he thinks matters in the province

Fact is our arts, environment and young people are the beating heart of what makes N.S. our home

Do better, Mr Premier

Tim Houston's budget reflects an ideological project to remake the economic order - Halifax Examiner Budget discussions are necessarily discussions of values, and of morality.

#TimHouston is using the old/despicable neoliberal playbook - plunging the government into huge debt, as an excuse to gut government (while giving carte blanche to environmental criminals aka capitalists).

N.S. culture minister faces questions about cuts to tourism, arts On Wednesday, Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage Minister Dave Ritcey deferred to staff when asked if stakeholders would be given a reason why certain programs were chosen for funding cuts.

Woke up to hearing 12 museums closing. Then watching the interview of the Minister responsible Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage.....and.....I have never in my life seen such incompetence. Watch the video and tell me I'm wrong.

So, based on today’s budget, I’m guessing Tim Houston doesn’t plan to stick around much longer. He no longer gives a damn what voters think. This budget’s all about serving the interests of the people he expects will be lining his pockets in the years ahead. #nsbudget #nspoli #NeverVoteConservative

N.S. budget: Reserve fund, major tax cuts coming amid U.S. tariff threats | Globalnews.ca The Nova Scotia government has introduced a $17.6-billion budget that includes major tax cuts and a reserve fund to be used if the U.S. makes good on the threat to impose tariffs.

Derek Mombourquette, the interim Liberal Party leader, said if the contingency funding is drawn down, then the potential deficit will be daunting for a small province of about 1.1 million people. #NSBudget #Insanity #nspoli #NovaScotia #CONSAreNotFiscallyResponsible

Alarming oversight: No funding for the Office of Children and Youth—established last year to safeguard kids' rights. By ignoring this, the gov't sends a troubling message about priorities. #ChildRights #NSBudget 3/8

🆘 Nova Scotia's 2025-26 budget fails to protect the well-being of children and youth. Vital investments are missing, leaving families vulnerable to worsening economic instability; a thread 👇 #NSBudget #NSpoli 1/8
