If Israel is serious about stopping the current wave of antisemitism, then I would suggest it first stop murdering Palestinian women and children. I am not antisemitic, I am anti-Netanyahu.
no fan of insurance industry, but this is not a happy thought.
Be very careful out there.
we are living through floods and fires from climate change, people dying from heat in the summer... but our provincial gov't values money, & profits for their friends (the already rich) over the ordinary people of N.S.

Polio? Once pretty much eliminated in Canada, along with measles. Sigh. I hate the world.
Its not enough and we are still fighting. He dinged the poor and the marginalized and the arts to pay for tax breaks for the rich, and overspending in previous years. INFURIATING. Capitalism working as it is designed. But hard to live through.
Solidarity and respect to all those in #NovaScotia who are showing us the way forward in the struggle against #austerity.

He restored funding to the groups that could really move the dial on votes in rural Nova Scotia and now he's lecturing us on deficit numbers as if we've never heard the term before.
This guy (Houston) thinks we're stupid.
The NS gov is reinstating $21.4 million in grants to support seniors and people with disabilities, and to help African Nova Scotians and Indigenous people access educational opportunities. Another $10 million will go back to organizations that support those groups.

Canada and Nova Scotia are failing to respond to the Trump regime’s mendacious actions

CP NewsAlert: Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston reverses some budget cuts amid backlash
I literally can't open instagram without seeing 5 of the most famous people in the world talking about a tv show based on a book that my friend in Bedford Nova Scotia wrote, and our stupid provincial government still doesn't think art has any value.
