Yellow to transparent gradient on the top half of image, with image of group of people standing in a circle with their hands together on the bottom half of the image. Over top, text on the image reads: “March 10th, 2026. By Madiha Mughees. Non-profit sector says funding reductions in budget pose ‘serious and compounding threat to the well-being of the people.’ Read the full piece in the Halifax Examiner.” A quote from Benny Welter-Nolan, executive director of Impact Organizations of Nova Scotia (IONS) in the Halifax Examiner, is displayed on the bottom half of the image: “If you take a look at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives’ (CCPA) alternative budget, there are some actually very simple, very actionable strategies that will benefit Nova Scotians.” The Halifax Examiner logo is in the top right corner. The CCPA-NS logo is in the bottom right corner.

This is amazing. Congrats to Tamara and Shane, and I hope the premier was watching when his incompetence was announced to the whole wide world. #Oscars #NSpoli

She speaks the truth. The #budgetcuts will hurt artistic production across Nova Scotia, and will have wide spread ramifications beyond our borders.

TW: sexual harassment and abuse
8 years after #MeToo and we still don't get it.
I address the piece in All Nova Scotia and why these tropes (perpetuated by women, nonetheless) are extremely harmful and dangerous. #nspoli

Un an après un piratage majeur, le principal fournisseur d’électricité de la Nouvelle-Écosse peine à se relever. Des milliers de données ont été volées. La facturation des clients demeure perturbée. Et l’entreprise n’a toujours pas expliqué clairement ce qui s’est passé. #nspoli

Self care has been co-opted by the wellness industry and capitalism.
Self care isn’t a nice to have. It is a necessary act of political warfare.
For every Nova Scotian traumatized by the recent budget cuts, take time to rest.
We cannot fight the good fight exhausted.

"Developer ordered to remove two extra stories"
Ouch!! Though I can't say that I have very much sympathy for the builder on this one.

Nothing to see here, folks. Burn restrictions in place as of (checks notes) March 15th. Don’t worry though. The forestry industry will be permitted to continue clear-cutting 24/7. #nspoli

It's about time New Brunswick promoted it's tourism attractions rather than allow Nova Scotia to hog all the attention - and tourist dollars. 👍

The Houston government seems to have no idea where people like Anne Murray, Sarah McLachlan, or Joel Plaskett come from. They all had publicly funded music educations in Nova Scotia. Artist development doesn’t happen on its own. #nspoli

Now we must all be a voice for wildlife and nature.
With science being sidelined, expertise being eliminated and nature falling to the wayside, it's up to each of us to be the voice for wildlife and nature.

Yesterday, Tim Houston
said he values arts and culture workers even though he has cut funding.
I also value you Tim...won't vote for you but I just wanted you to know how I feel.

Journos, the next time you question Tim Houston, please ask him this: when you dropped the HST by 1%, was cutting arts and culture funding part of the plan?
Because I want to know if this was a premeditated attack, or just blind incompetence. #nspoli
