So #Timhouston cuts 120 full time jobs as he closes multiple museums,visitor information centers and "modernizes" our DNR These cuts only "save" $21 million and reduces red tape for mining. We have a $1.5 billion deficit, and the last fiscal year I'll premiere spent $1.6 billion in appropriations

During the #Halifax budget to save $40.7 million! yesterday, Kevin Russell was grilled by 2 counselors when he pushed his Stop the property tax hike campaign The Counselors question the authenticity where the campaign did not screen for local postal codes and offered template stories as feedback.

Newly appointed Judge Cameron MacKeen has drawn the attention of the opposition as he is possibly biased as was the PC government 2x campaign co-chair and even asked to be on #TimHouston transition team. Given how much the premier loves his power grabs is this really surprising?

Do you think #NovaScotia should have a landlord license system?. Should they be held to the same accountability as any other business that requires a license to run? In my opinion I say yes! But it is complicated with no 1 blanket solution. #TimHouston certainly doesn't help matters 😒

A job that used to be done by 91 full time Healthcare workers is now being contracted out to Oracle Cerner and Iron mountain in a 10 year $365 million deal. N.S Health aims to send 900 boxes full of health records to Ontario to be digitized. So much for bringing more jobs to #NovaScotia

Personally I find it interesting that #TimHouston wants to make cuts to programs to help reduce our deficit, Yet has completely ignored the Auditor General Office Since getting into office this government has had $5.6 billion in over budget spending that was NOT approved by our house of assembly.

Rental.ca report rental shows rates across Canada going down but the average square feet of a rental unit is also going down. #NovaScotia remains in 2nd place and is the only one in the top 3 that has their rental rates continue to climb. You can view the report here rentals.ca/national-ren...

Killiam REIT purchased a 1973 apartment building in Halifax with an average rental rate of $1,860 When questioned about the rental rates in this building they didn't even hide the fact that they plan to increase rates during turnovers. Profits over affordability is the #NovaScotia Rental Market

So #Halifax is easing up on its winter parking ban for now as they see the amount of fines dropping. Just between Jan 26th-28th Halifax dishes out 1,714 tickets each costing $86.60. So just over these 3 days Halifax racked in at least $148k in fines .

I find it a bit interesting that even @novascotiapower.bsky.social has the capacity to team up with 13 Mi'kmaw Communities for a project to build the latest Battery plant in the maritimes Yet #TimHouston continues to erode his relationship with our First Nation people instead of working with them.

#Halifax corporate landlords are now looking to offer incentives to tenants to fill in vacancies. They offer these incentives so they can look good for financial agencies, yet they have vacancies because people can't afford to keep up with the rising costs of rent especially due to fixed term leases

The First Nations Chiefs of Nova Scotia are banning together and taking aim to self-govern on their lands per the Aboriginal rights of Canada. You can view the Aboriginal rights of Canada here and look at section 35 laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/const/pa...

Canada Food Bank CEO provided a report direct to #MarkCarney showing they see nearly 2.2 Million people across Canada needing their services. In most recent accomplishment the government is not only revamping the GST boosting it for the next 5 years but also takes aim to tackle food insecurity

#Kentville hosted a public meeting to discuss homelessness in the town and the province and what's being done. This meeting not only helped with people's anger around homelessness but focused on key issues such as public safety regarding individuals who fall through current supports.

#TimHouston wants to Dawn his old accounting hat to reevaluate the $700 million value @novascotiapower.bsky.social has on its coal plants. Based on how he runs this province I would not trust him to run these numbers 😒

Dalhousie is looking to research ways on making fracking in #NovaScotia less impactful on the environment and the people. One can simply look towards Alberta and B.C to see the harmful impacts fracking has on the environment and the people. #TimHouston continues to push fracking regardless of input

Latest report from Affordable Housing Association of Nova Scotia shows HRM has over 1,028 individuals/families homeless, with 667 chronically homeless. We currently have 197 individuals who sleep outside such as vehicles,streets or encampments You can view the report here www.ahans.ca/statistics

So a #NovaScotia worker has been caught on camera saying " Tim Houston has ordered all signs to be taken down" for all dispensaries including on indigenous land. The sign in this video had a tarp over it yet they still plan to tear it down. This is our Premier stance on supporting Nova Scotians.

So #TimHouston has now ordered the removal and destruction of local dispensary signage without so much as warning the business. There's has also been talks he's looking to do this at other locations as well. Rather destroy then work with our local businesses 😒. youtube.com/shorts/VjaAU...

So the "Provincial Review" on non-nslc cannabis outlets that @nsgov.bsky.social claims to have done does not exist CBC reveals. The province responded that the number was based on “standard intelligence” and added, “focusing here misses the point. It’s about preventing harm, not statistics.”

The latest report from the Auditor General Office of #NovaScotia shows not only is the province $20.8 Billion in debt but there is $1.6 billion in overspending that is poorly documented. You can view the full report here oag-ns.ca/sites/defaul...

#Halifax Council is looking to make changes to the By-law B-400 changing the false alarm fine to a flat rate of $300. I feel more needs to be done to protect Nova Scotians as we have seen countless stories of rental units not having proper fire or carbon monoxide detection.

The latest report came out from Rentals.ca showing the average rental market is slowing cooling down. Yet #NovaScotia sits in 2nd place as one of the most expensive provinces to live in across Canada. You can view the full report here rentals.ca/national-ren...

@novascotiapower.bsky.social CEO Peter Gregg decided to Opt out of being questioned during the Public Hearing against the company. Yet he still showed up to talk to reporters beforehand then sat at the back of the room while his directors were questioned instead.

@hfxgov.bsky.social wants Federal court to approve their restrictions to infilling at #Dartmouthcove without the pointless provincial restrictions. @andyfillmorehfx.bsky.social continues to support A.R.C.P as they promise to keep fighting even if #Halifax restrictions get full approval.

@novascotiapower.bsky.social is going to spend the next 8 days proposing to increase rates by 8% To N.S Energy Board Their reasoning for these increases are -Will bring in $150 million over the next 2 year -Help restores their credit rating which is currently the lowest grade in North America.

Worker unions across #NovaScotia including have been struggling with Labor Shortages. #TimHouston claims to be all for career jobs yet wages trends show N.S pays the lowest across #Canada and He's in terrible standing with many unions. You can view the wage trends here lmi.novascotia.ca/wage-trend

The latest report from @policyalternatives.ca shows the list for the Top Paid Canadian CEO's . Every single one on the list has made more in the first 33 hours of 2025 than an average worker will make in the entire year. You can view the report here www.policyalternatives.ca/wp-content/u...

#NovaScotia Gov has announced they will be increasing the rates of income assistance by 1.6%, as well those on disability programs seeing an increase of 1.6%. Even at the highest amount for 2 adults at $1,473 that's only $23 😒 You can view the announcement here news.novascotia.ca/en/2026/01/0...

@samaustind5.bsky.social has responded to Atlantic road construction and Paving claiming they will start construction on a service road to #Dartmouth Cove on Jan 5th. To do this work they need building permits and other documents. He recommends people call police if they see any crew in the area.

Dartmouth Cove Saga Continues as Atlantic Road Construction and Paving is ignoring rules set by @hfxgov.bsky.social to restrict infilling and has made plans to start building a road to the cove starting Jan 5th. This was revealed in an email by @andyfillmorehfx.bsky.social

@novascotiapower.bsky.social is in the news again. During this report N.S Power admits that 80% of their consumers are now on "Estimated" billing vs only 0.54% prior to the Cyber-Security attack. Want to join the class action lawsuit pending against them? macgillivraylaw.com/data-securit...

@novascotiahealth.bsky.social is reintroducing mask mandates as flu season kicks off. You may also see similar signs in local businesses, given the hospitals and businesses are private property they are within the rights to do so If you have any issues please respectfully talk to a staff

So it would seem @novascotiapower.bsky.social took inspiration from the U.S and released their cybersecurity incident report, but redacted all useful information from it. This includes how they plan to keep their consumers safe #Novascotia You can view it for yourself here nserbt.ca/nseb/news/in...

#RCMP Calls Out #TimHouston For Lying About Cannabis Laced With Fentanyl "In a statement RCMP said that testing of seized products is conducted by Health Canada and the #NovaScotia RCMP is not aware of any fentanyl having been detected in cannabis products seized by the RCMP"

In a $300 million joint funding between the Federal & Provincial Government we are seeing 930 homes coming to Shannon, Next door we also have Ocean Breeze that has a 5,300 housing project. We have utility companies, emergency services, and construction companies struggling to keep up with demand.

Just how terrible can @novascotiapower.bsky.social "Estimate billing" be? Eric owns a cabin that has its power turned off, so his power bill is only $50 a year. He did not have any power turned on since Nov 2024 yet in Oct 2025 N.S Power charges him $488.25. They only offered up to $200 credit

Tim Houston had the opportunity to meet with the Mi'kmaw Chiefs regarding cannabis sales. Yet even when offered alternative approaches on this matter he refused. He continues to claim the unchecked dispensaries could have fentanyl laced in their products yet no police report backs up this claim.

-Update- #TimHouston is at a loss on why he has been banned from Sipekne’katik land. This debate boils down to the 1752 Peace and Friendship Treaty. #4 allows for unimpeded sale of fishing,hunting and agriculture sales. They claim cannabis should be included. www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/11001000...

#TimHouston is banned from indigenous land and called "Undesirable" by First Nations Chief In the latest crackdown of cannabis sales First Nations Chief has had enough and slams and #NovaScotia government claiming these new restrictions overstep their treaty rights to sell on their indigenous land.

In the latest report by Rentals.ca the national average rental market has been slowly going down, unfortunately the same can't be said for #NovaScotia. In this report N.S is now in 2nd place as most Unaffordable Province to live in across #Canada See the report here rentals.ca/national-ren...

So #TimHouston aims to increase the minimum wage to $17 by Oct 2026. Yet his government also refuses to discuss anything regarding a guaranteed basic income, even with their own data showing assistance is well below the cost of living. You can view their data here novascotia.ca/finance/stat...

So after major oil companies told Newfoundland and Labrador that the reason they had no bids on offshore oil was they favored " Low Hanging fruit", We now have #Timhouston optimistic that he can sell Nova Scotia to them. Really let that sink in on how he's selling #NovaScotia

To get Nova Scotians vote #TimHouston gave 18 campaign promises. Since he's been in office he has only fulfilled half of them with some of them even being questionable at being completed with the remaining promises still pending The question is Do you think he's done enough in office?

#Dartmouth Cove Update Municipal affairs Minister John A MacDonald has upheld Halifax council's restrictions for Dartmouth Cove. As it stands right now the only infilling allowed for this area is for public infrastructure, utilities, or shore protections @andyfillmorehfx.bsky.social isn't happy🤣

#NovaScotia faces more rental housing pressure, while we have landlords like Killiam continue to see increased rental rates and revenue. #Canada Housing quality and quantity is so bad it even affects our Canadian armed forces. Check out the Audit report here www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/Eng...

Norway House a Cree Nation in #Manitoba has 100% ownership of a magnesium mine, with plans to produce 98% less carbon emissions than China who holds 85% of the magnesium Market but uses coal. Maybe #TimHouston should take notes? Would you allow mining to happen if they had this mindset?

#HRM Council votes unanimously on a new Homelessness Framework with the goal of closing all designated encampments. In my opinion this ignores the pleas of non profits asking the pathways to homelessness to be addressed You can view the framework here pub-halifax.escribemeetings.com/filestream.a...

Viola’s Place a shelter in #NewGlasgow is being blamed for the rise in crime but is it their fault? No! This falls to the N.S Gov Homeless shelters and encampment's are a symptom of the real problem. We lack proper resources going to programs that need it, programs that aim to help those in need.

#Halifax is the 2nd most sought after city to live in according to the rental website Rentcafe , but can we say it's the safest? While #NovaScotia is $8 shy of being the most unaffordable province to live in according to rentals.ca , the rental market itself is very dangerous for tenants.
