A Facebook post from Nova Scotia premier Tim Houston with text that reads, β€œToday we tabled our 2026-27 budget, "Defending Nova Scotia: A Plan for the Long Term". In the face of global uncertainty due to Donald Trump's trade war, this is a plan that controls spending while continuing to invest in healthcare, housing, and growing Nova Scotia's economy.”

The text is followed by an image with the headline Budget 2026-27, with two fake book covers with what may be an AI-generated image of a container ship that read β€œDefending Nova Scotia.”

To the #nspoli comms person running this campaign: I hope the local arts program you’re funding with this terrible day job didn’t get cut, b/c you have skills.

Selling our premier on β€œdefending” knowing literally everyone & anyone could photoshop it to β€œdefunding”? Brilliant.

Appreciate you.

I haven't experienced myself
but people are saying that their
car keys stop working
when parked at the Woodside No Frills

Not consistently but periodically
I have noticed that it is common to see tow trucks there

A premier with the largest majority in Nova Scotia’s history treats reporters as opposition members. These availabilities are strictly timed and he’d rather argue than answer questions. This is not being open and accountable to Nova Scotians.

Cuts are happening to so many vital areas at once which is a great way to spread out our anger and make it so people get overwhelmed and miss pieces of all the awful things Tim Houston is doing. It feels so nefarious.

β€œJust eight days before these Visitor Information Centre staff at the airport were unceremoniously laid off, they were visited by the Premier himself, who told them to keep up the good work.
We guess he meant to add: "... for one more week."
Is this the kind of respect our Premier has for the public service in Nova Scotia?”

Photo attached of Tim Houston posting with two staff members (their faces are covered) at the airport.

They start to talk and she realizes why she left the manipulative relationship, and looks around the bar realizes how racist and mysoginist the small town,.
She jumps in an Uber that has truck nuts and never returns
