Nova Scotia United: New Budget Now! Rally with us Tuesday March 10 at Noon, Province House, Halifax Culture is Critical
We're not even remotely done holding this government to account. Back at it on Tuesday! #nspoli #halisky
What about the 2.2million for the "Nova Scotia Guard" - Houston's pet project that include activities currently being performed by Search and Rescue and the Red Cross. How is this still being funded!!!
8% "morally questionable" in the Canadian population seems true. That's our Maple Maga, Diagolon, conspiracy theorist, "people who would steal from seniors" population.
52.5 million to buy land for future needs- is this a slush fund?
That is 176 million
And then there is the
120.1 million for Halifax Harbour Bridges - 'cause they took away the tolls without thinking it through. Dumb.
-$2.2 million for nova scotia guard- a redundant idea
-$24.7 million for tax credits for under 30 in specific jobs. Why do they get a break?
-$3.2 million to 811.- they just tell everyone to go to emergency anyway
-$84.8 million physician recruitment. Seems a
little excessive?!?
- $1 million for more ads for mining companies
-1.8 million for private logging roads
Alternative cuts
- 1 Million to SailGP
- 958,000 for business travellers air travel connections
- 1.2 million for study of AI controlled traffic lights
-1 million for ads to foreign mining companies
- 1.5 million for more ads to attract more resources extration
companies
But putting homes on prime agricultural land is dumb. People gotta eat.
Hey liz- thanks for doing this. As part of a non-profit arts organization I've been having absurd, circular conversations with gov' departments regarding grants for a few months. Now I know why.
I'm chilled with the lies this government is telling.
My particular favourite is about "poor usage of student transit passes". Bus drivers just let the students on the bus- no data is collected and the buses are full of students. It's Another lie.
Keep up the good work holding them to account!
The only way to fairly deal with the road maintenance issue is to have the fee rate matched to kilometres driven AND introduce a similar fee for other large heavy vehicles that cause more wear and tear.
But they will be proportionally paying much more than heavy trucks. It amounts to a fine for driving electric.
Point- a person driving 10000km per year will be paying twice as much as someone driving gas for 10000km.
The issue is the price not the concept.
I hope he is booed next home game in Toronto. Or egged.
A bunch of these players will be returning to their Canadian teams soon. Wonder what their home games are going to be like?
Yep. Canadians are different! #cdnpoli
Wouldn't it be cleaver to use the infrastructure and network of Canada Post to enable this new force?
Classic DARVO
I hope you've picked some delightful distractions. I tend to go to historical and/or romance to get my mind off things. If you're up for something steamy Heated Rivalry is a good fun.
What would happen if these were lubed?
So student research grants in Health are being cut because it doesn't align with resource extraction yet Nova Scotia is chosen as site of a major drug study. When will the PCs understand that Nova Scotia's greatest natural resource is, and has always been, it's people.
And the PCs are cutting health research grants...
Medical flights too. Hospitals will be impacted.
Ya think? It's a 10 day closure. This looks more like a military action. Cuba? Seems too far.
@flyelp.bsky.social
Is the airport open?
Classic DARVO.
Knew it was going to be horrible. It is far worse than i thought.
I do truly despise Javani. somehow he is worse than PP. What possible trade expertise or insight does Javani think he has? He would sell out all of us in a heartbeat.
A subtle message about looking after the defenceless and abandoned and helping them soar. This is a veiled political statement, pointing out that looking after the poor is something to be proud of, something that made America. The ad is so gentle that it will not overtly upset anyone. Clever.
