🤭😂🤣

This is why Canadians have trust issues 😂

I am so sorry, Alison!

Cuts proposed by Houston are more than just numbers on a budget sheet – they represent real impacts for everyday Nova Scotians.

When we cut these programs, we cut opportunities for youth engagement, community connection & sustainable transportation growth.

But we all know it’s fake 😂

It’s time for our annual fake spring, Nova Scotia. We should enjoy while it lasts.

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

Austerity is code for erasure: What one disabled educator, researcher and Nova Scotian thinks of the budget - Halifax Examiner If you care about disabled people, any people, your fellow Nova Scotians, then we need to talk seriously about collective action. About coordinated labour disruption. About a general strike.

“This budget will disable all of us. Austerity always does. It erodes public systems until precarity becomes the norm. The only people insulated are those with private buffers and political friendships.”

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.

I’ll use my first BlueSky post to demand we immediately return to 15% HST and restore programs eliminated by the Nova Scotia government in their latest budget. This government’s policies are not what people voted for. It’s been a bait and switch all along. #NovaScotia #nspoli

At tonight's African Nova Scotian Heritage Month Gala at the Halifax Convention Centre Tim Houston was LOUDLY and justly BOOOOED.

I often dream about what the world could be if humans just focused on living their lives without hurting others.

Just think of Cabot Trail. Most of it has no cell service. 🙄

If only Erin was around. At least one person would be happy about the shoveling. Or maybe she would get sick of it too 😄

As pessoas (quando testam) testam 1 vez e se convencem que não é covid. Eu não confio em teste rápido pq a última vez que dependi deles, todo mundo testou negativo com os mesmos sintomas que eu e eu que só tinha sido exposta a eles e tive os mesmos sintomas fui a única a testar positivo. 😏

He did, right? That’s the best explanation for things like “Please, please, please, Mr. President, we’re winning too much, we can’t take it any more”

I decided that I wil hybernate until the spring if it snows again. I am done!

I read this as I am about to go clean my driveway 😭

Certamente foi a chuva

The optimistic in me hopes that we get enough rain to avoid shoveling on Tuesday

For sure. Anything is better than all this snow

We are almost at winter’s finish line in the calendar. Nova Scotia only gets spring weather around mid May 😏

'Shock and awe' at DNR: Wildlife division gone, managers sacked, and restructured department geared for natural resources exploitation and extraction - Halifax Examiner Retired wildlife biologist Bob Bancroft describes the elimination of the division and today’s changes to the department as “absolutely disgusting.”

You did great, @benmacleod.bsky.social. As usual! Proud to be your friend.

Same. Also, this was great. Kudos to you!

I’ve always been puzzled by this. Was shocked the first time I’ve heard that someone who was hit by a bus still had to pay a fine.

Brasil sil sil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

My watch says I did 2 minutes of exercise today. That’s not how I feel after all the shoveling. It was easier than other times because of the snowblower, but I am still sweaty and tired.
