my bi-annual pet peeve … daylight saving time has ended and we are now in standard time … you don’t hate daylight saving time, you hate standard time. and also the fact that we are in the northern half of the northern hemisphere.

Really wish people would stop making assumptions that someone is abled just because their disability isn't listed in their profile. Not everyone is comfortable disclosing that in plain view. Same goes for race, gender, long Covid, etc

I have news that I want to share with you directly.  

I have made the decision to leave the Nova Scotia PC Caucus and continue to represent the people of Lunenburg West as an Independent MLA.

I’m deeply proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish on behalf of Nova Scotians as Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development, and as Minister of Justice and Attorney General. While I continue to have great respect for my government colleagues, I believe I can best serve the people of Lunenburg West and Nova Scotia as an Independent voice.

This change will allow me to place even greater focus on our community β€” to spend more time here at home, listening, connecting, and ensuring that your priorities and perspectives are fully reflected in my work.

My commitment remains the same: to serve with integrity and diligence β€” to listen and advocate; and to help deliver results that make a real difference in people’s lives and leave Nova Scotia stronger for the next generation.

β€” Becky
