Definitely!! Because the out of budget spending isn't helping those who truly need it or areas that are struggling.

Tim Houston doesn’t have any interest in respecting democratic processes. He’s only in politics to serve the interests of his billionaire pals.

It staggers me how fast the vast majority of people - including medical professionals - have normalised infection with a virus that can cause cognitive dysfunction / anosmia. SARS-2 is definitively not 'just another respiratory virus', yet society is just shoehorning it in there.

Don't let the fuckers privatize Canadian healthcare.

Thankfully my grandkids were fully vaccinated for Covid and the flu but they are in the HRM area. Our public health here in NS has failed our kids big time . It's truly a disgrace.

If you're working in the AI space, you need to be pushing for universal basic income RIGHT NOW. It's not good enough to just say UBI may be needed in the future. And put your money where your mouth is, or else people will assume you're lying about the capabilities of AI and/or will push against AI.

more items like a transfer belt and personal supplies she is going to need. Once again truly grateful for you showing me and my wife such kindness. ❀️

Getting closer to getting my wife Kathy home . Waiting on a bed from the Red Cross. Thanks to those who've helped financially by sending to either my email at spurg63@gmail.com with e-transfer or via the go fund me. It's helped me get some things in place like a decent sitting wheelchair and a few

Journos, the next time you question Tim Houston, please ask him this: when you dropped the HST by 1%, was cutting arts and culture funding part of the plan?

Because I want to know if this was a premeditated attack, or just blind incompetence. #nspoli

CONCLUSIONS
In our sample of 650,173 COVID cases among active-duty military personnel, a total of 278,278 were identified as having post-COVID-19 syndrome (42.8%). Of these, 273,405 reported post-COVID symptoms in at least two visits (42.1%). Our findings showed that the top three symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome in military personnel are related to pulmonary, neurological, and fatigue issues. Mild to moderate cases of this syndrome could leave military personnel with long-term deficits in their overall fitness and readiness. This readiness is a critical aspect of military effectiveness, ensuring that personnel can respond rapidly and decisively to threats. Thus, continued assessment and potential treatments are needed to assist active-duty military personnel to improve their overall health outcomes.

Oh look, the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ military concludes over 40% of COVID infections lead to Long COVID, among a population sample that is all adults, & on average in better physical condition & younger than the national/global population.

Excellent question. It’s pretty clear Cabinet members were as blind-sided as other members of caucus so where did the proposed list of cuts come from?

I hope people don't stop pressing the NS government and paradise paper Tim to rethink the whole budget and stop the other cuts that will gut too many crucial things we need in this province. Let's not take our eye off the ball and keep this government held to fire and force a new budget.

Take a look at the list of reinstated grants - it's not even the tip of the iceberg. The NS premier thinks we're all stupid.

Income inequality is growing faster than ever in Canada , those over 50 are falling into poverty and struggling more than ever, younger people are pushed to the brink with spiralling rent , cost of everything as well. Canada is screwed up , and broken for many . We need a UBI .

MPs reject bill to close arms export loophole despite some Liberal support - National | Globalnews.ca NDP MP Jenny Kwan's bill came after the U.S. sought to purchase Canadian weapons for Israel, despite a Canadian ban on exports of various types of weapons to that country.

This shows that Canada was never serious about stopping the flow of weapons to israel.

Tim Houston "raising revenues".

I cannot grasp that an NDP would cross the floor to be a liberal. It's a betrayal of being a progressive. If you can cross to be a "conservative" you were never an NDP , you deceived your voters. Can Avi Lewis, if he wins the NDP leadership restore the progressive voice ? I hope so .

It's not that complicated.

This government should be able to explain how they came up with the budget and why they made the cruel choices they did.

But they can't. Or they won't. Either option is a betrayal of the public's trust.

What's got to happen, or it should, is the military needs to refuse the unlawful orders to bomb and destroy other sovereign nations. Yes Iran's ruler was a nasty individual but seriously,the US has no right to do what they are doing.There are better ways of supporting the people against that regime.

Trump should be executed for treason and then tried in absentia for trafficking and raping children.

The less Nova Scotians know about their past & feel connected to place, the easier it is for a government to redefine conservation areas & penalize people for not aligning use of land with exploitation.

History is dangerous, writers in schools are dangerous, artistic critique of power is dangerous.

Some people can't bike to work , so how about letting them remote work if they can. Both would cut traffic and emissions.

Premier Tim Houston (engineer of the worst fiscal situation in Canada) ordered provincial employees back to the office in a city with 3rd worst traffic in Canada.
This as our ERs are closed by constantly sick staff, unable to service a constantly sick public since letting a pandemic rip unmitigated

Thankfully, with caring for my wife with early onset Alzheimer's it's needed . Still grossly low and hasn't gone up since it was implemented which is disgusting.

Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today.

Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st.

You're going to pay in for 298 more days.

This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us.

Scrap the cap.
