Ottawa incentivizes electric vehicle purchases; Nova Scotia makes them more expensive HALIFAX — As Ottawa incentivizes Canadians to buy electric vehicles or hybrids, Nova Scotia is making it more expensive to drive them. Nova Scotia’s budget tabled on Monday includes a $500 fee for ele...

A clear sign of the policy direction of the NS conservative gov. Disincentivize sustainable economic and environmental measures, while promoting resource based industries through deregulation. This is not the way to build a better future. Ultimately, all Nova Scotians will pay a heavier price.

I am convinced that the only difference between Jim Jones and Trump is Trump would have had them pay for the Kool-aid! Don Lemon

#Conservatives: cut taxes (for their high spending friends) in any way they can, defund schools & social services, increase unemployment & reduce benefits
Others: does it matter - it can't be any worse...

Inside Michael B. Jordan's 'disgusted' reaction to BAFTAs N-word slur Michael B. Jordan was left 'disgusted' after a racial slur was shouted from the audience while he and costar Delroy Lindo were presenting on stage at the BAFTA Film Awards.

Buried in this story is the fact that the BAFTA’s censored any statements in support of Palestine from the broadcast, but still left the N word in.

Two things Conservative governments have in common:

They cut, cut, cut while debt and deficits go up, up, up.

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.

We should all be very concerned about this. #nspoli

The Conservative party in Canada is compromised. Wannabe USA MAGA's and following Heritage's Project 2025...make no mistake about it. The Christian Nationalists in Canada are part/parcel of the problem here.

Suzanne is doing a huge public service with these articles!

Holy shit.

Houston manufactured the faux budget crisis.

Coun. Kathryn Morse: “It was really important for students to have this for their independence and confidence and that sort of thing, as well as reducing the vehicles on the road and building transit ridership — sort of a culture of transit ridership for the future.”

Happy Thursday Gerry!

A grade 11 student outlined in detail the impact of ending the free youth student transit pass - the passes offer independence, allow youth to get to school, work, extracurricular activities. The youth, Teddie Rafe, urges people to contact their MLA

People acting like CBS in 2026 bending a knee to Trump is new forget that CBS in the ‘60s canceled “The Smothers Brothers” because Nixon didn’t like their criticism of the Vietnam War.

Houston bristles at questions about staff costs | CBC News As his government moves a budget through the legislature that includes more than $300 million in cuts to jobs and grants, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston bristled at a reporter’s question Wednesday ab...

Another politician doesn't want his office budget questioned at a time when they're cutting budgets that will deeply affect others. Anyone else seeing a pattern? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Attacking reporters and ascribing malice to legitimate questions are part of a growing comms strategy among politicians who abhor accountability.

Houston is doing a fine job of making himself look bad. No one needs to, or is doing that, for him.

Canada is the first non-European country to be granted membership in SAFE. This is unlocking new export markets abroad for producers across Canada’s defence industry and better equipping our military with the resources they need.

This is how all #Natives were treated after serving in the war ,think about that next time you attend remembrance day

I am noticing a trend in all the things cut by this horrible government, programs for women, black communities, Indigenous, students, mental health, programs against racism, etc., Houston is showing how ignorant he is, this will backfire and he deserves all the shit coming to him. #NovaScotia 🤬

I just got confirmation that Tim Houston’s PCs cut the entire Writers in the Schools program.

This man is cutting a program that lets children meet and learn from local authors (among many many other things) so he can spend $5 million teaching civil servants to use AI.

After record-breaking spending, this government chose to cut from the Nova Scotians who could least afford it first.

46,000 people lost the heating assistance they relied on to stay warm through the winter.
