NS politicians always think it’ll be safe to scapegoat and sideline arts and culture, assuming NS working people won’t care about the artsies. But they forget 1. We too are working people and 2. We grow industries that employ still MORE working NSians
I love NS arts & culture. We have such a vibrant, tireless community and it deserves so much better from this government

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

No thank you JD, I was thinking I might do some Christianity that day
This story is astonishing. They detained a grandma for 6 weeks with zero due process for the crime of being on holiday. Don’t go to the US as a tourist right now www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
The great thing about Canadian winter is sure the temp goes way down below 0 and you’re freezing, but then it rises and the snow melts and it becomes incredibly DAMP both outdoors and in which also makes you freezing
This interview is actually pretty amazing. They speak seriously about their religious faith and the teachings of Christ on a late night show. To wild applause.

There's also been little reporting on the fact the CRTC recently released new Canadian Content guidelines they've spun as more "flexible," but actually mean Canadian-owned projects can hire more non-Canadians as writers and directors and still access the financial incentives that make them possible.
