I just made another donation as well. Listening to Poilievre’s rhetoric is so incredibly exasperating that it motivates me to support the Liberals even more.

I wish I could contribute even further, but I believe every bit counts.

Why Won’t Pierre Poilievre Get His Security Clearance?
Why Won’t Pierre Poilievre Get His Security Clearance? YouTube video by Justin Trudeau

Our outgoing PM thought this subject important enough for a YouTube video in his last days & I think it bears serious consideration. Fellow πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ IMO we need to keep asking #PoiLIEvre WHY is he refusing to get a security clearance? His 'reasons' seem flimsy to me. #CanadaSkyπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

I’ve realized that this kind of self care - short trips to the beach, into the woods, taking moments to breathe and take in the beauty around us - is more important than ever. The world is a mess. But it’s still beautiful.

Keeping the "Know" in Nova Scotia | Ecology Action Centre In early 2025, the Nova Scotia government repeatedly expressed intentions toΒ expedite an array of resource extraction projects, such as fracking and miningΒ β€” saying they wanted "to take the "no" out of Nova Scotia."

I've tried it when I've had trouble sleeping and was always curious if part of the success came from blocking out surrounding noise. This information was very helpful! I think I need to hunt down some comfy wireless headphones so I can give it another try. Thanks so much for sharing your research 😊

Honouring Indigenous teachings, like the Seven Generations principle, encourages us to make decisions with future generations in mind. We must choose a path of stewardship and protect Nova Scotia for those who will come after us. Tim Houston, do better. It's time to listen, not destroy.

Attitude products are amazing! I started using them because of my allergies, but I also love that they are very environmentally friendly.

In Denmark the law encourages owners of agricultural land to plant 5% flowers for bees via subsidies from the European Union to develop flower fallows and promote #biodiversity

Why other countries don't do the them?

I'm in a similar situation and feel very fortunate to have benefits, a supportive spouse, and a caring family. However, it’s unsettling to realize how quickly that luck can vanish. Witnessing it happen to so many others makes it impossible to ignore just how fragile that security truly is.

Anyone who thinks Canada is broken and is not the best country in the world should never lead it.

Our universal healthcare saved my life. More than once. We do not want to be American!

Canadians need to wake up, see conservatives for what they are, what they're all about.

I find joy in memories of Red River in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, surrounded by wildflowers like black knapweed, Queen Anne's lace, and clover swaying in the ocean breeze. #wildflowerwednesday

Nova Scotia’s super conservative majority under Tim Houston just proved you can indeed turn back the hands of time, right back to the dark ages. Did Nova Scotia already join Trumpland as a 51st state and no one told us? Frickin’ Fracking hell.

Trying desperately to progress as an artist is endless frustration when your #chronicillness keeps knocking you down. But I keep getting up again because art gives me purpose and joy.

I completely understand. It’s one of the reasons why I really appreciate WFM2Go. I can order small amounts like a single cucumber, 1L of cider or 1lb of potatoes at a time. It makes it much easier to avoid food waste.

We've been ordering online from the Wolfville Farmer’s Market for about a year and a half, and I would definitely recommend it! Such an outstanding service that directly supports Nova Scotia Farmers. We pick up our order at Birdies Bread in Woodside every Wednesday. Can’t say enough good things!!
