How many of our problems would disappear if we had Universal Basic (Liveable) Income?

as rapidly in Canada where I lived, as we were noticing as far north as we were then. He was quite surprised when I pointed out that Nova Scotia was at about the same latitude as France! 2/2

We seem to be a northern country, but Halifax, for example, is at about the same latitude as Nice in France. Most of our population lives at latitudes comparable to Europe. One time travelling in the Baltic in the fall a fellow traveller, USian, remarked that the days must be shortening 1/2

Have eaten natural, usually organic, pb for many years. We buy Sobey's crunchy organic now that Windsor's Nutsmith has vanished from the shelves. Took a while to get used to no salt.

And the cardinal male calls attention to himself to distract us from the female and nest😍. It's always so gladdening to see cardinals, and a coup to glimpse a female!

Back in the days of the flower children (and Vietnam war) we asked why soldiers didn't just refuse to go to war.
But that's what they're hired for. Sigh.

Let's talk about the morality of the negative economic impact of Tim Houston's attack on Nova Scotia - Halifax Examiner There is a negative economic impact of cutting all the arts and social programs. It is real, and it is enormous, but Houston doesn't value it enough to even measure the loss of them.

I'll be on the ferry from Dartmouth soon. If my MLA were PC I would not give them a moment's rest. Let's hope all their constituents get the word!

Thank you! I was at demo which was heartening, if also terribly serious. Anti-uranium signs on railings, and a lot of emphasis on all of us being Treaty people who can work together "shoulder to shoulder" to combat the gov. The treaties provide legal basis for obligation to protect land etc....

A conduit for the taxes, not for anything else to do with owning and running a building?

Prov NS could use a bit of that public engagement. I hear even the backbenchers had no input.

They may have changed it since, but last time I was in UK seniors (residents that is) had free transit every day and had done for many years.

Good turnout at today's demo outside the Leg. "We are all treaty people." There is, apparently, wording in the treaties which give us all legal opportunity to protect land, water, wildlife, heritage. Sorry I don't know more but if anyone can enlighten me please do πŸ”†
Another demo Wed, same time.

This is just me thinking, not (yet) applicable personally. But might this mean that a person on a fixed income gets priced out of their own home? I know there are supposed to be caps but our assessment has gone up a couple of times since we moved 7 years ago. Not dire yet. We are seniors.

I wasn't asking specifically. I do know our assessment went up but it's an older condo so not (yet) as vulnerable as single family homes in settled neighbourhoods.

What will it mean if your property is now assessed at twice or more times what it was the last time they set tax rates?

Cuts to N.S. arts funding cruel and misguided, theatre coordinator says HALIFAX - A Nova Scotia theatre coordinator says the provincial government’s cuts to the arts sector are β€œcruel” and β€œmisguided.”

Year round daylight time is mistake. For health reasons we need early daylight not late day. The further north we go the sillier it gets because we have plenty of sun in summer and not enough in winter, time changes or no.
Most latitudes, just go back to old dates for change, closer to equinox.

I caught part of that show when it was first broadcast, found it really good but missed early episodes and the end, so I should check Gem. Thanks for suggestion.
