It’s a sticker company that got in trouble for printing Blue Jays stickers. This was their work around. It’s ridiculous and hilarious.

Yup. Armstrong isn’t a lawyer and has no relevant experience. The AG and Minister of Justice had a key role to play in ensuring government operates legally. I suspect that’s the reason Houston wanted rid of Druhan. She was giving him advice/information he didn’t want to hear.

A cabinet shuffle that distracts us from a crisis - The Coast | News, events, restaurants, concerts and Burger Week for Halifax, Nova Scotia Ministers removed, portfolios switched as Houston's cabinet shuffles. What this latest move says about politics in Nova Scotia.

If you’re not paying attention to the chaos in the NS PC party at the moment, let me remind you.

Houston and LaFosse Parker are running the gov through fear mongering and bullying.

We now have another unqualified MLA as justice minister. #nspoli

The fact you have to clarify this to your own peers because they want to take digs is a huge part of the problem.

1. They didn’t get fired, they all quit en masse leaving Julie to hold the bag.

2. She was writing a ton of the content on her own, pregnant, lost her husband to an aneurism and her mother to dementia the whole time.

Somehow Tim Bousquet managed to make it sound otherwise.

TOM URBANIAK: Nova Scotia’s democracy is seriously ailing Premier Tim Houston is fast beocming the new β€œstrong mayor” of Halifax and all Nova Scotia.

Druhan has been kicked out of cabinet. For what? Speaking up?

Bet she regrets defending the premier and his bootlicking crew now.

If you're headed to the MacKay, the Circ is backed up to Main Street.
