Who voted to maintain Tarrifs on Canada? I think we should get a list together of representative’s districts where Canadians should never visit, and should never support industry based in these places.

NL Housing has become the worst landlord on my street. They don’t fix up their units, and don’t secure empty units. We’ve lost at least 10 units on my street already in the last year or so to fires set by squatters. How do people think this is responsible management of our resources?

If you lived in an NDP incumbent riding, had wanted to vote NDP, and didn’t because you wanted to prevent the conservatives from winning, then news flash….it didn’t work.

During a housing crisis and tent city protest we saw John Abbott and Fred Hutton negotiate an expensive 1050 day lease of a hotel with no RFP. Let’s be clear, this was never a response to people living in encampments. It was a political response to outcry from citizens.

White House official pushes to axe Canada from Five Eyes intelligence group. Alienating our friends and courting our enemies. This is straight out of Orwell.

What a win for Canada! It was packed with hockey fans at the Duke of Duckworth in St. John’s, NL. It was also very comforting hearing people’s very loud booing of the Conservative Party ads!

The federal government must revisit its approval of a popular weed-killer, court says The federal government has been ordered to reassess its 2022 approval of a popular weed-killer after a Federal Court judge ruled ­this week the original approval was unreasonable.

As an organic farmer and organic farm and processing facility inspector I can’t wait to see this review from the seat of my tractor.

Newfoundland and Labrador is very slow to make change.

What’s your favourite way the province has changed and how was that change spurred on?

Notice to Podcasters and Media:

This is not a time to fill the airwaves with the conversation surrounding the Canadian identity. This is the time for connecting Canadians across the country.

Please tell stories about Canadians and stop deconstructing the Canadian “Brand”. It’s been done.

Former encampment dwellers moving to HRM shelter villages The units are a huge change for people who have been living out in the cold and, in some cases, the woods. Gareth Hampshire got to see one resident's new home when she moved in.

Here is a new tiny home community in our neighbouring province of NS. Tent encampment residents were moved there. They have a warm room that locks and share bathroom space in a larger building.

Seems like a good solution. Why doesn’t our government think so?

All I want for Xmas is for NL’s detox capacity to double or even triple.

Why are we spending time discussing forced rehab when people who want detox still can’t access it?

Nobody should have to wait.

Burned-out public housing will be sold, not repaired. An activist neighbour is furious | CBC News NDP leader Jim Dinn and resident Mark Wilson are outraged after learning that a Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation building in downtown St. John’s is being sold but housing minister John Abbott is defending a decision.

Our leaders in NL and in St. John’s need to do a better job in providing social housing and to work harder for vulnerable communities.
