Taking up 54 minutes of the NDP’s hour-long question time with just ONE ANSWER - that’s the level of contempt our premier is showing for the legislative process.

Are you all ready for 42 public speakers at city hall today? I’m going to try to live post most of them, but also try to bus down to province house for the Shoulder to Shoulder rally, so I may miss a few of them. So far we’re already 5 minutes late getting started.

Great job to the #NovaScotia government 👏 Nothing says “priorities” like cutting funding to community programs while rolling out a 1M$ A.I. traffic monitoring systems.

Meanwhile groceries, power, and water costs keep climbing for every Nova Scotian. But sure, let’s automate the intersections..

Join HCC in solidarity with many other groups to protest Tim Houston selling out everything we stand for in NS. The environment, the climate, the arts, cycling, active living, treaty rights, and our democratic rights are all under attack. Tue, March 3rd at noon on Granville behind Province House.

I want every single reporter, every pundit, every advocate, every EVERYONE to point out the cost of the bridge toll removal and 1% HST cut. Every time someone asks you about the budget. Every time a politician has a microphone in their face. In the Legislature.

Please Note Date Change!!

Houston is not even trying to hide his grand plan. 1. Run our economy into the ground. 2. Save it by destroying, extracting, exploiting our lands and waters.

This is going to be a pivotal legislative sitting.
