"The Chignecto Isthmus is a narrow strip of land connecting New Brunswick to Nova Scotia. It’s a globally significant wildlife corridor and is home to vibrant rural communities in the Tantramar region. As of May 2026, it’s also the approved site of a 500-megawatt gas-and-diesel power plant.
The Protect the Chignecto Isthmus Coalition formed to stop it. Their fight matters far beyond Atlantic Canada."

"The 500-megawatt diesel & gas power plant proposed for Centre Village should legally fall under federal jurisdiction ... The Protect the Chignecto Isthmus Coalition contends that evidence shows the project is a transboundary issue between New Brunswick & Nova Scotia, & is calling on Beauséjour MP Dominic LeBlanc to review said evidence & coordinate with federal Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin to ensure a proper federal review is completed."

NDP politician said Carney must not burn the world, and a reporter laughed and asked if he really meant Carney was trying to "burn the world"
The answer is yes. Yes is the answer.
Carney does not have our permission.
We THOUGHT he was sane.🇨🇦

I don't read it every day, but I support it ever day, in my subscription. A good bang for buck.
8 people cancelled subscriptions, did they read the whole article?
How about 20 more people, sitting on the fence, subscribe and support Halifax Examiner ?
Good journalism needs you. Will you help?
DISCLAIMER: I am not affiliated in any way, other than I am a long-time subscriber (I have the T-shirt), and I know where Tim lives, but that's it. But, there are other journalists that make the team, and they are all good.
I just want to put in a proper PLUG for the Examiner, and tell you, there's no other news source I feel this passionate about. It's small, but it does BIG work, please boost this you don't have to live in Halifax to subscribe and not all the articles are about Halifax.
If you don't agree, tell me why?

I don't support violence either, but #Tim Houston is a dick, and angers a lot of Nova Scotians beyond common sense reaction. Just vote the lying bastard out #NSPoli

Let's cut libraries, fire museum staff and build a stadium for millionaires and billionaires.
Oust Houston, please.

I condemn all political violence. I condemn the closure of libraries and cutting of programs and the ending of grants that are acts of structural violence against the people of Nova Scotia, that absolutley does lead to people dying. I condemn the premier's driver using a vehicle as a weapon against peaceful protestors. Some minor property damage that doesn't hurt anyone is a reasonable response to these acts of violence. #NSPoli

'On June 24, City Council in Hamilton advanced a motion to place a one-year moratorium on data centre developments, with no loopholes and with the possibility of a year-long extension. A final bylaw is expected at the July 15 council meeting. That means all three proposed data centres in Hamilton — including Slate’s hyperscaler — are on hold.'
'This is a major and possibly unprecedented win in Canada, and it came directly as a response to the growing backlash from local residents.'
“I think that every single municipality across the country should be asking for this framework”

The Energy & Utility Board of New Brunswick has approved a 500 MWh methane/diesel powered electric generating plant on the environmentally sensitive Chignecto Isthmus that connects Nova Scotia to the mainland and is an important migratory route for species at risk.
Let's stop it before it's too late!

Meanwhile, in Nova Scotia, Canada
"The Nova Scotia budget released this week makes owning an electric vehicle in the province more expensive.
The budget introduces a $500 registration fee for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and $250 for hybrids, payable every two years upon renewal. The levy takes effect October 1"

What do we want to bet that some O&G CEO is going to pick up the CarneyPhone and suddenly these projects will be ‘in the national interest’?

Hey Nova Scotia, a small thread about something politically very troubling we all need to prepare for. The more I think about it, the more I start thinking about how Houston's govt is moving. Yes, they have a supermajority, but, like, no one likes what they're doing. Follow me here...1/ #nspoli

The only way to make change is to make the leaders uncomfortable. Nova Scotians are attempting to do just that.

Oh byes I am pissed. Here's what I wrote to my MLA, the blameless Claudia Chender, and here's where I will be next Tuesday and Wednesday instead of working on my next novel.
Rally images stolen from Ecology Action Centre & Page 1 Theatre. Some email wording stolen from nsarts.ca.
Remainder of email's alt-text (will put rest in reply): Cuts to youth-focused arts programming and education will negatively impact our literacy. Especially after the disruptions of Covid, our students don't need to have enrichment opportunities taken away.
In the '90s, I worked for the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia. Amongst my many jobs was running the Writers' In The Schools program. WITS involves a small investment (only $65,000, which I notice has not been increased since I ran this program 30 years ago) and puts local authors into their classrooms to support a love of reading and allow students to see themselves in the books they are reading.

#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.

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.

#PetroState #ScamOil refiners want cost of reducing their carbon footprint -pollution/profit- rolled into N.S. pump price.
Translation .
Polluters and fire starters want victims to pay for their pollution and tax free profits .
That this would even be a consideration is evidence of political pollution and corruption from a Corp Welfare Govt - Corporatocracy .
