She/her/teetotaler. No one is free until we are all free. Eat the rich. Abortions for all. Trans rights are human rights. If you think you know me, no you don’t.

NS cut arts funding by 32%

The 2026-27 budget slashes $14M from arts and cultureβ€”closing museums, killing or gutting 72 programs, and putting nearly 14,000 culture jobs at risk. Musicians, theatres, festivalsβ€”all on the chopping block.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

It is a sign that the administration has a rock solid and very legitimate justification for attacking Iran that the justification changes on a daily basis.

Apparently the protests are really getting to the provincial government. They’re pushing budget talks til 10pm tonight and blaming it on today’s protest. In other words, it’s working Nova Scotia. Keep going!

From the Shoulder to Shoulder Rally today March 3rd 2026 at Province House, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Tim Houston we've had enough! You are trying to destroy everything that is good about Nova Scotia. You are anti-Nova Scotian, pro-corporation.

Yeah we couldn’t see either. Our apt faces the exact opposite direction and we’re halfway up a hill so it’s blocked by houses/buildings, even if we did go outside.

Rubio confirms what so many of us already knew to be true: the United States went to war with Iran because of Israel.

Forced treatment doesn’t create recovery.
It creates resistance.
I’ve worked in the private recovery industry.
The clients who were forced into it didn’t recover.
They relapsed, they disappeared, and some died.
Support people. Don’t control them!

I probably shouldn’t have said ALL MLAs bc clearly I can’t recall every single one of the emails I copy/pasted (there are 75 total with the ministerial addresses)

Nope. Interestingly, I just looked that one up and it’s easternshore.MLA@novascotia.com so I wonder if each region has an assigned email address and they can choose to use it or not?

The ministerial emails are not Gmail, but their MLA emails are. And not all MLAs are ministers.

As someone who just emailed every single MLA in this province, all the PC MLAs have Gmail. NDP and Liberal do not.

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro SΓ‘nchez on Iran:

β€œRemember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

I’ll use my first BlueSky post to demand we immediately return to 15% HST and restore programs eliminated by the Nova Scotia government in their latest budget. This government’s policies are not what people voted for. It’s been a bait and switch all along. #NovaScotia #nspoli

I think bc it was a snap election a lot of folks were taken off guard, seniors didn’t receive voting cards, some districts has less candidates or candidates barely had time to get their platforms out. So it was a lot of factors, but yes, agreed. Everyone must vote next time.

Fun fact: bridge toll removal and 1% HST reduction cost us appx $300 million.

All of the devastating cuts in the current budget?

$300 million.

Is your 1% HST cut worth the loss of tourism, arts & culture, educational quality and wildlife conservation in NS?
