Snort - you keep me sane Dim
100%
Also the hospital parking lot debacle
I really hope the folks who voted for him are starting to see his true self, and not the BS campaign lies.
Money for billionaire, but not for seniors, students, arts, etc.
Money for a tax break (which disproportionately benefits the wealthy), but not for services.
He is definitely "that kind of conservative"
Shortsighted Houston must go.
He campaigned on improving healthcare, yet he pulls funding that keeps folks in their home and out of hospital.
I'd gladly pay 15% HST and a bridge toll to ensure folks receive the care they need and deserve.

Many thanks to Theatre Nova Scotia & NS Arts Coalition for having me in to photograph today’s protest.
These cuts hurt everyone, myself included.
Bring back 15% HST and the Bridge Tolls and "Have Some Guts and STOP THE CUTS!"

As a caregiver, this is morally wrong . I cannot stand that man.
We are just going to become a playground for ultra rich people and fuck everyone else aren’t we?
And worse: hundreds of civilians have already been killed in the all-out bombardment of dense urban areas like Tehran.
Musing about sending Canadians to fight and die in this carnage is unreal. You’re talking about Canadians being asked to participate in likely war crimes.
No one voted for this!
1/ PM Carney: you can and must categorically rule out participation in this illegal war.
Your unqualified support of Trump and Netanyahu’s war was bad enough. It’s unconscionable that you’re now considering putting Canadian forces in harm’s way.
Dear friends of DASC: March 4, 2026 We wanted to let you know that the Province of Nova Scotia (Department of Opportunities and Social Development) recently notified DASC (Dartmouth Adult Services Centre) of a budget cut to our core funding of at least 10 per cent. DASC has hosted life-changing programs for persons with intellectual disabilities for 60 years. Each year we serve about 200 people through our social enterprise and production centre, and in our recreation, life enhancement, active lifestyles, individual support, community employment, and youth programs. This commitment continues. Our priority is to ensure that any funding reduction from government does not impair our ability to meet the needs of persons with disabilities in our community. Our vital work goes on, and we will certainly keep participants and families informed if there any changes to our programs or operations. DASC's mission is to be a destination of choice for persons with disabilities today and tomorrow. We are determined to help deliver on the promise and potential of the Nova Scotia Human Rights Remedy, and we will work closely with the Province to align with Remedy priorities. Thank you, Henk van Leeuwen, Executive Director, DASC
Easter Seals Nova Scotia was recently notified of a 12.45% cut to our core funding, representing more than $100,000.00, and directly affecting our New Leaf program which provides front line services for people living with disabilities. This vibrant program, founded in 195/ within our Easter Seals Nova Scotia family, provides people with choice in skills training, youth employment support, recreational opportunities and holistic therapies. We provide these services daily to over 80 people living with both intellectual and/or physical disabilities in our community. The services provided by New Leaf align with the spirit, intent and opportunities which are at the core of The Remedy. This decrease in funding during a time of reorganization and re-calibration of our services to meet the goals of The Remedy will be impacted. Our goal is to continue providing the life-changing and compassionate services and supports we have been delivering for decades in our community. Joanne Bernard, President and CEO Easter Seals Nova Scotia Angela Rafuse, Chair Board of Directors, ESNS
Tim Houston is making cuts to sales tax and road tolls on the backs of disabled Nova Scotians. This is outrageous, and cruel. Easter Seals is an organization that makes a huge difference to the lives of several families that I care about. I’m pissed.
Wind in their sails: Billionaires’ SailGP event spared from Houston government’s budget cuts

Despite what N.S. environment minister says, Canada–Nova Scotia Nature Agreement does have timelines and unspent funding will be returned to Ottawa

Retired wildlife biologist Bob Bancroft wants his name removed from Nova Scotia Forestry Hall of Fame
“These cuts appear to target the most vulnerable Nova Scotians,” Dr. Aaron Bates writes.
“These harms were preventable. The 1 percentage point cut in the HST will cost Nova Scotia $265 million this year. Reversing this tax cut will nearly negate the chaos caused by this decision.”
Bob Bancroft has spent a lifetime fighting - often in vain and against very powerful industrial interests - for the health of Nova Scotia’s forests, biodiversity, and wildlife. With N.S. Premier Tim Houston’s latest all-out assault on nature, Bancroft now asks “What will be left?” Read and weep.
Very promising research in mice of a candidate inhaled vaccine strategy that has potential to protect against multiple respiratory viruses and bacteria and maybe even allergies!
Needs more work on humans obviously but this is the type of research that needs to be fully funded!
RobertFella 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 @Bonkavision5 BREAKING🚨 A man was choked to death by ICE guards, and DHS hid his body at a military base to block the autopsy. His name was Geraldo Lunas Campos. When the county medical examiner finally performed an autopsy, the conclusion was devastatingly clear: his death was ruled a homicide. But here is the detail that should make your blood run cold. When another man recently died at that exact same #ICE facility, the Department of Homeland Security didn't call the local medical examiner. Instead, they moved his body to a nearby U.S. Army base.
Wow. 🧵
What are we even doing?
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”
Former Canadian Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy shreds the rationale for an attack on Iran - and 🇨🇦 support for it.
The Houston government’s responses during Question Period are anything but clear

Perhaps now is a good time to seek the counsel of former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.
Targeting schools and murdering children?
Par for the course for Israel.
Bombing cities to change the channel on Epstein? Such are the crimes of Trump.
But Carney?
He failed the world by giving these monsters the thumbs up.
He has repudiated Canada's stance at Davos.

Says a guy who poisoned his opponent while that opponent was already imprisoned and after an earlier attempt was not successful.
Premier Houston being loudly and justifiably booed.
