I read a lot, talk a lot, and procrastinate A LOT. I am too laidback, but when poked, I will detonate. I like that my beliefs are fluid, but not my values. And, although I value my Canadian identity, I do feel a sense of responsibility to the world itself.

FAFO.
Nova Scotians now need to convince LG Mike Savage to apply this action to the Houston regime - starting with an independent fiscal audit.

Screenshot of Facebook Katie Keen comment:

More fulsome excerpt of MLA Gavin Dew's comments during the debate over Bill 9 (for which Minister Kelly Green is responsible), proposing amendments to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) allowing govt more time when responding to FOI requests: 

"She (Minister Green) would be railing against this legislation if she were in opposition.

She would be hurling invective at ministers and saying that they were hiding information from the people. She would be filled with righteous indignation as she stood in question period and thunderously called upon cabinet ministers to stop this horrific assault on freedom of information and to let the people have the information that belongs to them. And yet, she won’t do that. She will sit meekly and do what she is told. She will sit meekly and defer to men in suits. She will sit meekly and vote for this legislation because she and every other member of the government caucus lack the courage of their convictions. They lack any actual spinal fortitude. They lack any actual belief in the things that they said they believed in when they were opposition. They lack any belief that the people deserve freedom of information."

Katie Keen on Facebook provided this expansion of Gavin Dew's comments (see: attached photo).

And men don't turn orange, naturally, as they age.

I think this is the right decision. The arrogance and disregard of law by greedy, unethical people must be checked outright.

A common disappointment felt by many countries' citizens regarding the tepid/weak/compliant response of each of their governments to the lawless and immoral actions/policies of Netanyahu and Trump's regimes.

It was probably more like the people who didn't vote them in. πŸ˜‚

The Conservatives (including #TimHouston ) don't seem to get what they got wrong - people don't want what they're selling.
Extreme riches at the expense of our environment and wellbeing is not what Nova Scotians want.
We like us. We want to be better, not different - big industry is not who we are.

NB has a lot to offer!
And, lucky you, it appears our NS premier is trying to trade in tourism for industry, so any competition might disappear.
As long as our pollution and run-off doesn't drift into your area, you'll be good to go.

Files are shared, then removed. Names are redacted, then some names shown but without context, or context shown without a name.

Trump knows the power of the files, and he's using it to his advantage.

Here, he appears to be flaunting his control over the files to the people not yet revealed.

I have two very real young couples living in my house, who can't actually afford to buy a house, even though they were approved just before the housing market skyrocketed. They don't mind paying the extra 1% HST tax.
They do mind that that NS mismanagement and lack of oversight is hog-tying them.

My MLA, who usually sits on his right, hasn't replied to any of my emails - not even a "we're currently out of the office" form letter.

A civil lawsuit filed with the Supreme Court for defamation/libel should definitely be done, if only to highlight to the public that they were intentionly targeted.

Although the NS government has a monopoly on the (legal) cannabis/drug industry, they (and the RCMP) are making the Mi'kmaw look like criminal drug dealers.

There is no reason, like the gambling industry the NS government also controls, the Mi'kmaw can't be involved in this lucrative business.

Except, in the context of the photo, to answer the question:
How high can you pile shit?

Hegseth with his hand held up to Trump’s head:
This high.

No wonder the Christo-Fascist-Republicans want to restructure the schools. Then, the ignoramuses (teachers with no qualifications) can teach the ignorant (workers and breeders).

At least, a hypocrite. I expect you to worship only me, total love and devotion.
But, I can kill off your wife and kids to prove a point, then expect that you will be perfectly happy again with a brand new wife and kids - with some extra riches thrown in for your troubles (plague and all that).

Either/or, I guess.

Houston was out of town for the last Shoulder to Shoulder Rally, so let's show him in a even bigger way what he missed.

Worse, the adults insinuated I was evil for questioning.
I wanted to know why the very explicit list of sexual partners no-nos didn't include fornication between father and daughter.
I was told it was implied.
It details rules for steps and in-laws, even animals, but father/daughter is implied?

Recipe for modern-day slavery:
Propose a budget that defunds supports for minority groups, which will increase hardship and desperation.
Increase daily living costs, including transportation to job site.
Privatize jails (which are already overrepresented by minority groups with uneven sentences).

Maybe Trump can revise his role as a successful...oh...nevermind.

Carney has better things to do than put out Trump’s fires - like actually help find a way to put out that fire Trump started in the Middle East.

Practically every NS kid under 30 has painted this cat painting (and other Maud Lewis paintings).
I still have the one my grandson did 16 years ago - framed and hanging on the wall next to his Mom's childhood painting of Van Gogh's Starry Night.
They are both still proud of them.

Yes. That's why they thought it was the end of days - they could believe that, but not that the environmental disaster of blowing up oil facilities on the other side of the world would impact them.
It was dark enough that chickens went to sleep.

We had a dark smoky barely yellow sky that the sun struggled to light up here in Nova Scotia in 1991 during the Kuwait oil fires (Gulf War).
Some people literally fell to their knees thinking it was the end of days.
We will likely see it again in the very near future.
