B.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time | CBC News March 8 will be the last time British Columbians have to change their clocks, B.C. Premier David Eby announced Monday.

C’mon New Brunswick, lets follow BC and end this unnecessary time change permanently. #nbpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Without these sorts of institutions and endeavours, we become more brutish, more combative with each other, more distrustful of our neighbours. We become undemocratic, in the broadest sense of the word."

#nspoli

Houston is still angry he did not get any seats in the HRM, he has not taken control of any other municipality, just this one. So, if you complain about City issues, it is probably Houston behind the issues. #Halifax #NovaScotia

Budget cuts in Nova Scotia are taking away what we are and leaving the door open to rape of land & sea. No oversight no real tourism, and so much more downloading onto those who can't afford it.
" Oh! Look! Squirrel! See see NSPower messed up look over there not here"
#novascotia

The NS Cons all need a hard and swift kick in the arse. Maybe it will jumpstart their brains to stop mindlessly yes-manning their destructive and greedy overseer. #nspoli In 10 years time, don’t visit NS, nothing to see here but a resource stripped rock.

N.S. culture minister faces questions about cuts to tourism, arts On Wednesday, Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage Minister Dave Ritcey deferred to staff when asked if stakeholders would be given a reason why certain programs were chosen for funding cuts.

Outrageous!!! Minister has no clue what was cut or why?? Politicians are not accountable, and civil servants are accountable to their masters not to the public... so in Nova Scotia we are just supposed to be mushrooms (in the dark and fed BS) #halifax #novascotia #nspoli
www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

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 🤬

Houston government’s rapid, packed session is an affront to democracy, say opposition | CBC News In less than 72 hours, the Progressive Conservative government of Premier Tim Houston has released a budget, a capital plan and six bills affecting more than 30 pieces of legislation.

#TimHouston is a liar. "simply acting on the priorities he hears about from Nova Scotians"? He lied to get reelected

Was this your priority? |framework for getting provincial revenues from offshore wind projects"? Over healthcare, wages, homelessness? #NSPoli Not one of us!

HOUSTON IS THE PROBLEM

Found the original draft of the PC Party budget announcement. #nspoli

Tim Houston's budget reflects an ideological project to remake the economic order - Halifax Examiner Budget discussions are necessarily discussions of values, and of morality.

What do you think, rural #NovaScotia? Are you ready to #NeverVoteConservative?!

Or will you be content with higher unemployment, fewer services and fracking in your backyard?!

Opposition MLAs question value of Premier Tim Houston's travel | CBC News Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston spent more than three times as many days out of the province as he spent in the legislature in 2025 and opposition MLAs are wondering how that benefitted taxpayers.

Opposition MLAs question value of Premier Tim Houston's travel #NovaScotia

Houston travelled 104 days in 2025, while the legislature sat for 30

once again, beyond any shadow of a doubt, #NovaScotia Conservative premier Houston demonstrates his priorities - why nurture when destroying is such a temporarily profitable option.
#NEVERvoteCONservative.

Today is the 107th anniversary of the Halifax Anti-Chinese Riot they didn't teach you about in school.

Tim Houston thinks you hate civil servants more than you hate traffic. #nspoli

They Make You Sound Crazy You will appear to be a complete lunatic if you explain reality today.

Wrote for BadFaithTimes.com about Trump officials' winking and nodding to fellow fascists, and how even *trying* to describe this winking and nodding makes you sound unwell.

Housing minister says Nova Scotia has more work to do to address rent prices | CBC News As Nova Scotia bucks a trend of declining rents, the province’s housing minister says it’s proof that his government needs to keep working.

The blind ideological faith that supply and demand alone drive housing costs is staggering. Affordable housing won’t simply “trickle down” by incentivizing high-end purpose-built rentals.
The reality? We’re ignoring the financialization of housing. #NSpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

For some of us, this can be tricky and inconvenient.

If your kid was sick, you would find a few hours to take them to a doctor.

Your country is sick. Try to find the time to do the same.

(And the inconvenience is kinda the point of the protest)

N.S. government departments told to examine potential impact of 10% cut to program grants | CBC News In the face of a projected record deficit, Finance Minister John Lohr has asked provincial government officials to look at the potential impacts of a 10 per cent cut to discretionary spending and prog...

Let me get this straight: The government overspends on untendered contracts for their friends, hands out a $500M tax cut favouring the wealthy, and now considers cutting services for the vulnerable during a cost-of-living crisis? This is peak incompetence. #nspoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

That’s Conservatives! Never trust or believe any Conservative premier. Yep, Cons seem to be “open to development” within the very parks they say they’re protecting. Premier #TimHouston of #NovaScotia on the development bandwagon. And N.S. just gave him a majority, after he called an early election 🆘

Debunking (again) the Mining Association of Nova Scotia - Halifax Examiner Nova Scotians are opposed because mining uranium makes no economic sense and would put the health and well-being of citizens too much at risk.

Debunking (again) the Mining Association of Nova Scotia
#NoToUranium #NovaScotia

The reason it will not work here, it is too densely populated in the areas that they want to mine, it would poison the water table and cause irreparable environmental damage.

Until It's Done: Sylvia Rivera YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...
