And if not, then the people who were complaining about Carney’s travel (which is actually part of his job) had better complain ten times as hard about this.

I hope he’s paying for this out of his own pocket, because there is literally nothing about his role as MP or leader of the opposition that would require this travel.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
Someone ask Mark Carney why he can’t issue a statement like this.
NEW RELEASE: Arts and Culture: Nova Scotia’s Undervalued Public Good by Sébastien Labelle
This piece emphasizes the contributions of the art & culture sector to NS, and how these sectors will be impacted by budget cuts.

I honestly thought we were there when they updated the Regional Plan in 2014. And then council and staff spent the next 12 years ignoring or undermining it.
At this point I honestly think HRM will just have to collapse under the weight of its own poor decisions.
Growth doesn’t pay for itself because HRM has prioritized growth in areas where service costs exceed tax revenue.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
If you want to avoid repeating historical mistakes, it helps if you don’t leave the same idiots who made the mistakes in the first place in positions of authority.
Most are still allowed to live semi-respectable lives. Useful idiots like David Frum still get regular gigs as pundits.
It might be because very few of the people responsible for the fiasco of the Iraq war, from the politicians who lied to justify it, to the pundits who manufactured consent for it, to the people who committed war crimes on the ground, were ever held accountable for any of it.
Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.
But he also supports them, so…
Pretty much the only time a cover of an Otis Redding song was better than the original.
I don’t understand why people believe that a small secret cabal of billionaires is running the world. They’re doing it out in the open.
Did the NDP also organize the “we are treaty people” rally Tuesday? The booing of the Premier at the African Nova Scotian Heritage gala?
How partisan do you have to be, how impoverished is your worldview, to believe something that patently ridiculous?
Tim Houston suggests that the NDP organized yesterday’s “save the arts” rally outside Province House.
How out of touch with reality do you have do be to think the arts and cultural community can’t organize a protest?

It would be good to get an independent legal opinion on that instead of a municipal solicitor parroting what he’s heard from a minister of justice who frequently gets the law wrong.
I will give Trish Purdy some credit here for being willing to extend the same scrutiny to the police budget that has been extended to other budgets.
And somehow the people who vote for this think this will make traffic better.
Starting to look like this was more of a promise than an observation from Andy Fillmore. If he keeps trying to cut transit and bike lanes, people really will have no choice but to drive.
Look if you scare away billionaires with boats, pretty soon you’re left with nothing but regular people and their problems.

We are just going to become a playground for ultra rich people and fuck everyone else aren’t we?
The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.
Dear friends of DASC: March 4, 2026 We wanted to let you know that the Province of Nova Scotia (Department of Opportunities and Social Development) recently notified DASC (Dartmouth Adult Services Centre) of a budget cut to our core funding of at least 10 per cent. DASC has hosted life-changing programs for persons with intellectual disabilities for 60 years. Each year we serve about 200 people through our social enterprise and production centre, and in our recreation, life enhancement, active lifestyles, individual support, community employment, and youth programs. This commitment continues. Our priority is to ensure that any funding reduction from government does not impair our ability to meet the needs of persons with disabilities in our community. Our vital work goes on, and we will certainly keep participants and families informed if there any changes to our programs or operations. DASC's mission is to be a destination of choice for persons with disabilities today and tomorrow. We are determined to help deliver on the promise and potential of the Nova Scotia Human Rights Remedy, and we will work closely with the Province to align with Remedy priorities. Thank you, Henk van Leeuwen, Executive Director, DASC
Easter Seals Nova Scotia was recently notified of a 12.45% cut to our core funding, representing more than $100,000.00, and directly affecting our New Leaf program which provides front line services for people living with disabilities. This vibrant program, founded in 195/ within our Easter Seals Nova Scotia family, provides people with choice in skills training, youth employment support, recreational opportunities and holistic therapies. We provide these services daily to over 80 people living with both intellectual and/or physical disabilities in our community. The services provided by New Leaf align with the spirit, intent and opportunities which are at the core of The Remedy. This decrease in funding during a time of reorganization and re-calibration of our services to meet the goals of The Remedy will be impacted. Our goal is to continue providing the life-changing and compassionate services and supports we have been delivering for decades in our community. Joanne Bernard, President and CEO Easter Seals Nova Scotia Angela Rafuse, Chair Board of Directors, ESNS
Tim Houston is making cuts to sales tax and road tolls on the backs of disabled Nova Scotians. This is outrageous, and cruel. Easter Seals is an organization that makes a huge difference to the lives of several families that I care about. I’m pissed.
History is a bunch of woke nonsense.
It’s like every decision they take is based on what will make traffic worse.
