Why should any of us believe in the economic vision of a Tim Houston Nova Scotia government that had a historic, anomalous surplus and went RalphBucks with it.
Highly recommend all Nova Scotians read this article by @timbousquet.bsky.social @halifaxexaminer.ca for a clear-eyed analysis of whatβs happening here. Link in next post.
Did I miss the part where this was thoroughly investigated as a hate crime or
How about being at all concerned about racists burning down the Miβkmaw encampment on Hunters Mountain in the middle of the night when people could have been sleeping there instead of dreaming about β¦impounding Miβkmaw property yourselves www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
I don't like Nova Scotia Beyond Thunderdome
Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

As Greg has said here, the store's site has crashed from the traffic/flood of orders. But a GofundMe is still live to help with the store's renovation.

Carney going Pearson-ish on the world stage, that is an interesting one to think on

Then on Thursday, when asked about public feedback, he said that he heard βthe MLAβ had feedback but laughed off the notion he ever talked to anyone local himself. Heβs too important. Who can even remember something so quaint as this. Thatβs about 4mins in here. www.youtube.com/live/HrglmvI...
βI hear from lots of people who are actual residents of the area that send me messages saying, βThis is a good thing,ββ he said. Sounds like heβs been deep in the local convo!
By the way. Disdain for the public is never a good look. Two weeks ago, on Oct 30th, the Premier was all over this golf course as a positive possibility. Said he talked to lots of local people. I wasnβt having that as you see. www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/nov...
Donation information for Hunters Mountain
Here is where you too can donate $ to the Land Defenders at Hunters Mountain.
The weather was awful but people came anyway. We raised $825 for Hunters Mountain. The cheer was good. I am as always, very proud of my home. Hereβs our rally on CBC. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
An outdoor rally in November
Then on Sunday, we had a rally planned, and we did that as well. Our Park had been spared, but only for now. And we are in solidarity with our neighbours at Hunters Mountain, who are winterizing their encampment. And with everywhere in Nova Scotia that is trying to make a public say matter.
A crowded community hall
It went really, really well. No one came with conflict to hash out. People came with open hearts wanting to help. We served tea, many people brought food to share. We could even laugh, and after many tense weeks, it felt good. The presentations were well researched. Audience questions were on point.
we needed an event that prioritized the communityβs ability to come together. We would only present info that had paperwork to back it up. We would not tolerate anyone with an axe to grind. We said, we will find a way to move forward together. Which we still need to do, so, we still held the event.
We had two events planned. After Thursdayβs announcement, we held them anyway. The first was a community information session. Presenters spoke about history, ecology, & legislation. Rumours and speculation are rampant every time this comes up, and tempers flare. We learned from past golf shitstorms.
It should never have happened in the first place. @nsgov.bsky.social Close the legislative loopholes. Protect what is βprotected.β Stop doing this to our community, or to any community. You can walk away from it unbothered and pretend it meant little, but we live here. We live with what it meant.
I donβt celebrate this, bc it could happen a fourth time. And everyone who was fighting it is entirely depleted. I missed weeks of work, for this. It was stressful for anyone sticking their neck out in a small place. I had a taste of what people have been through here over and over, and, I hated it.
