NEW RELEASE: Who Really Benefits from Nova Scotia’s Tax Cuts?
Our analysis reveals who will actually benefit from tax cuts in NS.

Families in the highest income group benefit 11 times more than families in the lowest income group.

These tax cuts also result in a $465 million loss of revenue.

How the N.S. government is feeling the heat over its budget It's been a week since Tim Houston's government tabled a budget that featured many cuts. But after appearing at an African Heritage Month gala, the premier saw and heard public blowback to the budget ...

An Open Letter to Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston and Hants East MLA John A MacDonald - Halifax Examiner Your actions in the form of these budget cuts are mean and hateful and tell African Nova Scotians that we do not matter in the eyes of your government.

An Open Letter to Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston and Hants East MLA John A MacDonald
By Sherri Borden Colley

Exactly this: "We need to understand this deeply: the debt crisis is entirely the creation of the Houston government...for the ideological project of making the rich richer, the poor poorer, and working people more uncertain and thus less likely to object to deep political restructuring."

Yes, there is a wrong way to celebrate Rosa Parks. @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social takes on The Met Gala

Misguided lawsuit against UBC evokes culture war nonsense A small group of professors is suing the University of British Columbia to stop the university from engaging in “political activity.” According to the CTV story on the legal challenge (I have not seen...

Seeing more posts and discussions about the prof lawsuit against UBC being "political", so am re-upping my newsletter post on the topic: emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/misguided-...

We can beat Pierre Poilievre here in

And that, as they say, is the Tweet, “The charter of rights and freedoms exists to protect Canadians from people like us on stage, politicians who may use their power to override fundamental rights.
The issue is not where you start, but where you stop".
- @mark-carney.bsky.social

Yet another fact-checked lie by Poilievre (he also lied about 200,000 affordable homes built under his govt; it was 4,000). The percentage of people’s income that are taxes has remained unchanged since 2016:

If Carney wins the election, Conservatives will flip out, but ultimately their lives won't be negatively affected one bit. None of their rights are on the line in this election.

If Poilievre wins, different story.

Please vote to defend vulnerable Canadians from bigotry and fascism.

10 days to go.

Poilievre lying about being "gagged" if he gets his security clearance.
He would merely need to be responsible in his commentary, which he refuses to do. #debate

"I haven't followed Canadian politics closely, but when a politician talks of limiting free press, activities at universities & defying the courts, it's the canary in a coal mine for autocracy"

'If Your Church Won't Speak Out About a Deported Father (and Thousands More Like Him)—It May as Well Cancel Easter'

Imagine using the word Genocide to describe a genocide, then getting cancelled.

It’s all simply awful. All of it.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

She didn’t ask them to pause the tariffs for the benefit of Canada. Or for Alberta.
She specifically asked them to pause the tariffs to help her preferred political party win an election.

She can deny it all she wants, but we all heard the call.
