  2. The Nova Scotia government seems to be as qualified as the Trump administration.
    #TimHouston accused First Nations of selling Fentanyl laced cannabis, because he gets his information from facebook. Now they are still attacking them, and the RCMP aren't buying it. There's no evidence of any of this. Trump and Tim Houston saw something on TV and had a knee-jerk reaction, because that's what happens to the knees of Jerks. 😆

  3. 67% of Nova Scotians want more protected areas. This comes as Tim Houston breaks terms of the Nature Fund Agreement NS has with the Federal agreement, lays off conservation staff and starts talking about fracking and uranium mining.

    I've started hearing lifelong conservatives muttering and shaking their head at the mention of his name.

  5. Can’t wait for the report to be submitted. Then a committee formed to review the report. Then a proposal for changes. Then a committee to approve changes. Then a budget approval for the work. Then advertise a tender for the work. Maybe in about 50 years we’ll see the results. #HRM #Halifax #NSPoli

  6. Tim Houston being booed by *everyone* at the African Nova Scotian Heritage Gala. Houston tries to remain relevant, but just sounds pathetic.

    He needs to experience more hubris everywhere, as his time in control of Nova Scotia crashes and burns.

  11. Thankfully for Jamaica, their power supply is massively more resilient than Nova Scotia's. By my calculations, Jamaica's power supply is 20 times more resilient than Nova Scotia's..

    18% of Jamaica's population is without power after Hurricane Melissa's gusts of up to 300km/h swept through the island.

    In 2022, Hurricane Fiona left 80% of Nova Scotians without power. The strongest gust was merely 180km/h (which is 1/5 the power of Hurricane Melissa).

  12. RED book decides, not receipt.
    A Nova Scotian who owns a mobile business is calling on the government to end the tax on privately sold used vehicles, saying the extra cost unfairly affects low- and middle-income people living in rural communities.

  13. 20mm of rain here in Halifax is such an extreme weather event that nearly 10,000 homes are currently without power.

    Or perhaps its what happens when utilities are run by US companies.

  14. NS Premier Timothy Houston has a serious legitimacy problem. He doesn't like the fact that Halifax's councillors reflect the views of their residents. Houston doesn't like it, because the region's residents do not support his Progressive Cronysim Party.

    Houston is just a Mini-Me Doug Ford - A Mini-Me Mini-Me Trump, if you like.

  16. Striking #CanadaPost workers have offered to continue socio-economic cheque delivery (i.e. pensions, social assistance payments etc.) during their current strike.

    The provincial governments in #NovaScotia, #PrinceEdwardIsland, #NewBrunswick and #NewfoundlandLabrador have REFUSED to take #CUPW up on its offer!

  17. #RCMP issued an #apology on September 7, 2024, for the historic use of #StreetChecks and other harmful interactions with members of the #African #NovaScotian community. It was an apology too long in coming, for treatment that was, in the words of Rev. Lennett Anderson, “dehumanizing and tragic.” And the RCMP's history suggests we should be deeply skeptical that the proposed action plan will be even close to what is required to remedy these grave injustices.

    In his 2019 report, written for the #NovaScotia #HumanRights Commission, Dr. Scot Wortley defines street checks as any occasion in which civilians are stopped by #police and subjected to intrusive questions, and their personal information collected into a database. He confirmed what community members have known for years: people of African descent in the #Halifax region are almost six times more likely to face street checks.

    It took five years after the release of this report for the RCMP to apologize for the harms caused. They also committed to an action plan, developed in consultation with members of 13 African Nova Scotian communities and the Association of #Black #SocialWorkers.

  18. Voting in the #NSPoli Provincial Election was so easy. I went into a polling place that was not in my riding, showed ID, voted electronically with a paper receipt in the ballot box and out within five minutes. Lovely staff were so helpful too. #Democracy #VoteABC (Photo from 2013)

  22. Elections Canada are investigating a Conservative candidate who handed out gift cards. Fair enough.

    I know I am new here, but when are they going to investigate Houston's HST cut and other acts of voter bribery? This is a greater crime.

    No city is immune to the explosion of #homelessness.

  24. Nova Scotia's Department of #Environment and #ClimateChange is looking for #PublicInput on 16 proposed new or expanded #wilderness areas and #NatureReserves.

    It opened an #OnlineSurvey that will be active until Sept. 20.

    "Designating these sites will be one more step in helping #NovaScotia protect 20 per cent of its land and water by 2030," the department said in a news release on Friday. Nova Scotia's Department of Environment and Climate Change is looking for public input on 16 proposed new or expanded wilderness areas and nature reserves.

  25. Everyone on Halifax it seems is getting phoned on a *premium number* by pee-pee to hear his fraudulent message about pretending climate change doesn't need action.

    He's inciting a mob to protest about climate action.

    Steven Harper's mini-me can F*ck right off.

  26. So there can be some accountability, but not used/hidden...

    "... And worse, that means this city’s police oversight body has had its authority and legitimacy undermined by #HRM’s legal department, even as those same lawyers told the board that there was no need for an independent lawyer. ... The assumption of the board’s powerlessness went without being challenged for three decades, even as societal outcomes of policing have gotten worse."

  27. Shut down of glass #eel (#elvers) #fishery as "Hundreds" of illegal #poachers
    #nspoli #cdnpoli were out to get them at $5000 a kilo.

    In a poor province, nature's abundance just looks like a quick buck... (and although it should be made sustainable - you cannot really blame them for trying to find enough $$ to make life worth living
    - or just to get by)

  28. Good crowd for #Housing
    demo in Halifax at noon today...

    Demands :
    1. Build/create/fund Non market housing (social, public, co-ops, supportive)
    2. End "fixed term leases"
    3. Permanent rent control, now.

  29. From Protect Eisner Cove FB site.
    "So, for the record. If you look at this map. Parcels 1, 2 and 3 were sold, in January 2021, for $680,000 (previously assessed for approximately $1.3 million). In December 2022 parcels 1 and 2 were sold to three people as part of a numbered company for $3 million. Parcel 3 was recently listed for $7 million. That's a $9.320,000 profit off of what was public crown land.
    UNREAL."

  30. "Big Celebs being sued for promoting crypto crap"

    If big celebrities are being sued for promoting digital crypto crap, will members of Steve Haper's "Conservative Party" sue Pierre Poilievre for using the "Conservative Party" disastrously to promote crypto crap?

    Or will Steve Harper hide him in the blockchain, and issue another Non-Fungable Leader?

  31. Is it just my age, or is everyone emotionally distraught seeing the state of #Homelessness? This makes me cry, and I don't do that for no good reason. it's very sad.
