Canada cannot equivocate on this dangerous an illegal war. Our NATO allies have been clear in rejecting the war.

“If there’s unintended impacts or ramifications, we always listen to that and if we can be responsive, we try to be responsive. Those are discussions that will have to take place,” Houston said.

So, we can assume the gutting of rural NS is intended?

You could I suppose. But you could just bake the fish topped with your fav sauce and parm cheese in a pan.

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?

I would happily pay one more percentage point on the HST, for bridge tolls, and for parking to help fund grants, museums, bus passes for students, and more #taxmedaddy.

My first thought was we need a 50/50 for the Bluenose. Seems to be the only way to make sure things have the funding they need 🫤

What a view!
Big blue skies allowed NASA's MODIS satellite to take an awesome shot of the Maritimes today.
Lots of snow... and yes sea ice. Sea ice coverage in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is currently running around 20%. The 1990-2020 average is closer to 35-40% this time of year.

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 🤬

Our oldest graduates this year. Plans to go to grad school, but taking a year off. Wants to work in HRM for the year. No idea how he’ll afford it, let alone save money for his next degree. He’s done well having a scholarship and RA job to get through school. No scholarships out in the “real” world.

I Don’t Recognize Alberta Anymore - Macleans.ca My province has always fought with Ottawa. What’s new is a premier who gives legitimacy to separation.

Maclean's approached me about writing a personal essay on Alberta Secession and my opposition to it.
It was published today.

Why people come to NS- the natural scenery and the arts and culture- all hung out to dry with Houston’s cuts. Guess that’s why we won’t need tourist bureaus anymore.
