Nova Scotia United: New Budget Now! Rally with us Tuesday March 10 at Noon, Province House, Halifax Culture is Critical
We're not even remotely done holding this government to account. Back at it on Tuesday! #nspoli #halisky
Carney cuts $192m from CBC at time when Canadian news, culture probably not important

Large board reading "should the cuts pass, we the undersigned hereby pledge to BOO TIM HOUSTON and his complicit stooges, loudly and at every opportunity' and is covered in hundreds of signatures. The sign is in front of Province House in Halifax, NS
Back view of the same board, titled "'Boo Tim Houston' Pledge Cont'd", densely covered with many many more signatures
In response to a devastating PC austerity budget, hundreds of people in Halifax have sworn to boo premier Tim Houston and his bootlicking ministers on sight @nsgov.bsky.social
a cartoon of Tim Houston holding a bloody anatomical heart that he has torn out of a hole ripped in the middle of Nova Scotia. he's got cash behind his back. the sign says TEARING OUT OUR ARTS!
felt pretty good about my sign for the arts and culture protest yesterday! don't mess with the 'eart of Nova Scotia!
If I may make a suggestion www.researchgate.net/publication/... #nspoli
get the puppets we’re going back
Call your MLAs and tell them to tell him to eat shit and that they should do their goddamn jobs if they plan to have any future in politics or even just walking around their communities in peace.
Protest signs wedged in the fence outside the NS Legislature read 'Farewell to Nova Scotia, the arts are toast' 'Put the tolls back MORON' 'Tiny Tim is in his scrooge era' 'save our stories' 'Houston Pennywise, pound foolish' (with drawing of Pennywise the clown), 'Dave Ritcey, why do you betray your home?' 'If the dancers aren't funded the dancers will leave', 'I've heard of "cancel culture" but this is ridiculous' and an empty frame reading 'poster no longer available due to cuts'
Tiny sample of signs from the protest in Halifax today #NSPoli

Here's the other side of that board!
It was so heartening to join the protest at Province House and see how big and diverse the crowd was. I hate that we have to do it, but I loved to see how many people care about our province.
Wasn't me this time (I was doing the booing pledge haha!) It looked amazing though, huge congrats to the artist/s– the NSCAD students had some great paper mache rats, maybe this was them as well?
Large handpainted cardboard sign reading 'PUT THE TOLLS BACK, MORON' in reference to Tim Houston's dumbass removal of bridge tolls that no one asked for
We did a bunch to hand out on Tues/Wed! Open to suggestions if you have any :P #NSpoli #Halisky
large blue handpainted banner reading "More like DEFUNDING Nova Scotia", in reference to the title of Tim Houston's disastrous austerity budget
great minds
At tonight's African Nova Scotian Heritage Month Gala at the Halifax Convention Centre Tim Houston was LOUDLY and justly BOOOOED.

Fun fact: bridge toll removal and 1% HST reduction cost us appx $300 million.
All of the devastating cuts in the current budget?
$300 million.
Is your 1% HST cut worth the loss of tourism, arts & culture, educational quality and wildlife conservation in NS?
Gouache painting of the Nova Scotia coat of arms: a blue X on a white field under a gold shield with a red rampant lion in a double border decorated with fleurs de lis. The lion is thin with visible ribs. It weeps because NS premier Tim Houston plans to starve the province into abject austerity, and neither he nor culture minister minister Dave Ritcey absolutely could not give less of a shit about any of us, our province, or the arts
so clearly Dave Ritcey (the minister overseeing the obliteration of our arts and culture) is not much of a "numbers guy". Perhaps we can still reach his heart through the power of images? Please express yourself to cch@novascotia.ca in the medium of your choosing #NSPoli @nsgov.bsky.social #Halisky
Rally for the Arts: Wed March 4th, 12:00 / Noon @ NS Legislature!
📣 Shoulder to Shoulder Rally - Tuesday March 3, 12 p.m. at the N.S. Legislature! 📣
In Nov, hundreds of people from communities across Mi'kma'ki/NS came out for the Shoulder to Shoulder rally to call on the Houston government to respect Treaty Rights and democratic processes.
I'm sorry Tim, that's awful. Hope you're all doing okay.

Was that Andy at the #HFXBike event? Couldn’t be
Two mayors at Halifax's first annual deputy mayor's bike ride
Andy Fillmore in effigy rides on the back of our Bike Mayor’s bike
Andy Fillmore in effigy in front of the Shubie Pump Track.
Bike Mayor holds the Mayor’s (paper mache) head waiting to reattach it to the suit-clad body.
Look who turned up at the HRM Community Ride (formerly the Annual Mayor’s Ride)? Riding on the back of the Bike Mayor’s bike. Unfortunately, as soon as he hit a few bumps in the road at the pump track, he lost his head.
#bikehfx #halisky
A fake mayor Andy Fillmore made from paper mache and holding a sign that says “bike good” sits as the passenger of a bike with a cyclist in a helmet.
I’m at Graham Grove Park in #Dartmouth for Deputy Mayor Tony Mancini’s #Bike Ride.
Mayor Andy Fillmore (sort of) made an appearance. #Halifax
We got off on the wrong foot with the cycling community. Since Dummy Mayor will be at the 12th annual bike ride, be sure tell him how much you appreciate him attending. Be sure to snap a photo shaking his hand! #bikehfx
