I get your drift - I would too! Our community of west hants voted out public transport too, Crazy! The town used to have it in Windsor and once we joined west hants well we lost public transport. For people that live outside of Windsor its no problem - they all have vehicles! One day in the future.

No detailed strategy, no goal to achieve Vision Zero, no proposal/motion for this. After a record-breaking year of fatalities on our roads including five pedestrian fatalities, two child deaths

Good one from Mackinnon. Had to steal it as I refuse to repost any US-hedge-fund-owned Postmedia Network papers including the C-H. Subscribe to the @halifaxexaminer.ca Instead - more news and for the people. But great editorial cartoon.

He is so maga that government ! This is deeply sad for the people and communities. He is acting like a dictator with such disregard for everything but mining and allowing housing in old forests. And his disregard! Sorry its deeply sad. We need to call an election.

More than $17M in municipal infrastructure grants cut for N.S. budget | CBC News The new provincial budget contains less direct money for municipalities across Nova Scotia, as grant cuts across various sectors also have community groups turning to their local governments for help.

And it seems to matter not about community and citizens. Its all BS from Houston and his government which really is the people’s government!! Why did the Nova Scotia folk fall for his BS and elect him? What are we going to do now is my question too! I read mining is starting in Cobequid for gas!‼️

New/Mode | Make your voice impossible to ignore

Premier Tim Houston has blown successive windfall budgets, and now, he wants Nova Scotians to pay the price for his overspending by cutting jobs and the public services we all rely on. Reverse these cuts!

Who Really Benefits from Nova Scotia’s Tax Cuts? - CCPA The Nova Scotia government says its 2026–27 budget will save the average family more than $1,400 per year through tax cuts. This sounds like strong support for families struggling with the cost of liv...

Tim Houston's reckless cuts stem from massive tax cuts favour the wealthy. In 2026, families earning $26K save just $194, while those earning $209K+ save $2,234β€”11x more. Communities are asked to suffer while the rich get richer. #NovaScotia #TaxCuts www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

I'm very disappointed with the #TimHouston government in #NovaScotia. They wanted to cut taxes, now they are closing museums and art sites, and lying about cash provided by the federal government for nature. #nspoli

We know this is all connected. We know Houston is coming at the arts, and education and community services so that he can give subsidies to the extraction companies,” he said.
