#NovaScotia 5% rental cap is set to expire in 2027 yet no action from our Gov on what to do when it does expire. Kevin Russell of the Landlord Association wants it to expire because it makes it hard for them. Yet N.S is the 2nd most expensive rental market in #Canada. So what needs to be done

So Food Banks Of Canada released their latest Poverty Report Card and it is not looking good Here's how each province ranked Quebec: C Manitoba: C- Saskatchewan, P.E.I & Newfoundland: D+ Nova Scotia & British Columbia: D Alberta: D- New Brunswick: F content.foodbankscanada.ca/reports/pove...

This is exactly why #TimHouston plan to double the population was never going to work. He put ZERO forethought on how much strain this would put on #NovaScotia infrastructure Now we have large landlords like Killiam not investing in new projects because they know the infrastructure can't handle it

$1.5 Billion Stadium Proposal Dead In The Water as Clayton Development who is the co-owner of the land says this proposal lacked many details and will be moving on. This is exactly why we need to keep an eye on all major proposals coming to #NovaScotia.

So #TimHouston State of the province speech really shows how little this Premier is focused on Nova Scotians. While he bragged about all the ways he's selling #NovaScotia to large corporations #Cupe workers and allies were outside on week 7 of their strike for better wages and worked rights.

So Ridgefield Holding backed by JDMorgan & The Shaw Group have proposed a $1.5 billion 27k seating CFL Stadium by Halifax Airport. While they claim 100% of the stadium cost will be privately funded #TimHouston is willing to talk regarding #NovaScotia helping with the costly infrastructure pricetag

So @andyfillmorehfx.bsky.social just hosted a State of Address for #Halifax where he brought up " Brutal Facts". Yet he didn't bring anything substantial or actual solutions to the table. Simply regurgitated issues all Nova Scotians been seeing and pointing out. cdn.halifax.ca/sites/defaul...

So Invest #NovaScotia is looking to sell this province to data centers. Data centers that have been promising they will help with infrastructure to sustain them, yet have had massive negative impacts not only on the environment but all of those that live near them. We don't need in Nova Scotia

Should #Sobeys be allowed to stay as a partner for #NovaScotiaLoyal ? They have been caught once again lying about Canadian made products. Now to avoid getting fines like #Loblaws they decided to just remove the Maple Stickers all together. So no longer promoting Canadian products at all.

#FoodForTheEars is a local music festival that is a non-profit that gives all net profits to @feednovascotia.bsky.social . Their goal is to raise awareness of food insecurities in this province. Let's show our local artists love by supporting them. www.foodfortheears.com

So #NovaScotia has 2 large companies looking at our Cobequid-Chedabucto fault line as a potential spot for White (natural) hydrogen mining So we are going to completely ignore the potential risks that come with drilling into a fault line. Which is Man-made tremors, Well water contamination, etc

May Rental Report has just come out and to nobody surprise #NovaScotia rental rates continue to climb as other provinces go down Looking at the rental markets by cities #Halifax sits in 15th while #Dartmouth is in 18th. Yet N.S Housing Minister claims it's simply "Supply & Demand"

#CMHC report shows in #NovaScotia rental units dated 1960-1999 have seen an increase to their rental rates by 42-58% over the past 5 years. These units are in high demand yet rental rates skyrocket as many do not get brought up to code, or see maintenance worth the increase.

#Halifax Landlord discovers high levels of Radon in her units. Radon is an odorless invisible gas naturally produced from the ground that can cause Lung Cancer. Yet even Kevin Russell admits there are no mandatory checks for this even though it has claimed over 100 Lives per year in #Novascotia.

So yet again #TimHouston government tries to spread lies regarding indigenous owned dispensaries. This time RCMP dismissed claims from Leah Martin the Ministry of L'nu Affairs who says these locations are selling Drugs,Firearms and Women, with zero evidence to back up their claims.

So the Nova Scotia government is looking for a partner for an Inter-Municipal Transit System. This will provide more options for people to get to other towns throughout #NovaScotia. But are we ready for this? We need to address ongoing issues such as understaffing and safety issues.

So once again #Sobeys & #Loblaws have been caught lying on their labels and overcharging for underweight products. All the more reason to shop at local businesses and local farmer markets. If you do shop at these stores use self checkouts to weigh it and see if it matches the label.

#CUPE long term care workers are now on strike. These workers have been without a contract since 2023 and all #NovaScotia gov has done is offer the same deal 4 Times in a row. You all remember the definition of insanity don't you? 🤦

#TimHouston wasted zero time after the legislature closed to run off to Danielle Smith to brag about #NovaScotia and its "Potential" for oil and gas. Something Nova Scotians has fought to become less dependent on.

So #MarkCarney is sending #NovaScotia $2 billion in defense spending for infrastructure upgrades. Personally I feel more should have actually been spent on upgrading Nova Scotia's very old infrastructure and more on housing especially for our military members.

So #TimHouston has responded to the latest raid by RCMP on indigenous land. Seemingly our Premier has never stepped into a real cannabis store as he tries to claim products that look like real candy are "Clearly designed to appeal to children and youth"

So Tim Houston Government is investing $4.4 Million into A.I to make civil workers jobs "easier". Just to be clear It only takes $2 million to save every single museum that he's closing due to the provincial budget cuts.

Auditor General Office of N.S released their latest report this time targeting Nova Scotia Health. This raises huge red flags regarding their spendings as N.S Health as Spent $3.7 billion since 2020 You can see the full report here oag-ns.ca/audit-report...

~Dartmouth Cove Update~ The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has now denied the application from Atlantic Road Construction and Paving. Saying this project does not benefit the community, and Infilling for the same of Infilling isn't a reason. So naturally ARCP is filing a Lawsuit 😒

In the latest operation by Halifax RCMP plain clothed officers would act as a panhandler but really were traffic spotters Those who have Panhandlers for years are upset with RCMP as this makes their lives even harder RCMP called this operation a success as they handed out 12 offense tickets.

The house speaker bans the public from the house after singing before voting on the #NovaScotia budget bill Tuesday On Wednesday Every Single Conservative voted to pass the Budget Bill even though there is still a wait list of people to share their voice regarding it.

My take on Bruce Wood the CFO of Atlantic Road Construction & Paving crying victim over his No Trespassing being defaced. Given the property line it's very obvious when he bought this land in 2021 his goal was to build on the harbor without asking HRM permission.

This sign is owned by a subsidiary of ARCP called 4197847 Nova Scotia Ltd The restriction was put in place solely to prevent construction vehicles from accessing the property To be clear ARCP has repeatedly infringed on this easement agreement, including concrete barriers throughout this situation

The rat problem in Highfield Park #Dartmouth is so bad people's cars are being damaged as rats chew through the wires. On top of this tenants live in fear of bringing this to the public because the landlord could seek retaliation against them.

#Dartmouthcove -Update- Atlantic Road Construction and Paving has decided to try and mark the entire cove as private property. Save Dartmouth Cove group points out there is an 2006 easement agreement between the prior landowner and HRM that permanently makes Dartmouth Harbour Walk Trail public

#TimHouston claims he is not interested in talking about buying back @novascotiapower.bsky.social We have to remember it was the PC government in 1992 that sold off N.S Power without doing their own economic analysis to see if it was worth selling and the impact it would have.

Tensions continue to rise between the #NovaScotia government and our First Nation People. After the latest raids from RCMP at 5 Dispensaries Sipekne’katik and Membertou enacted the Cannabis Control Law #TimHouston continues to refuse working alongside our first nation people even after being banned

-Update- Zagros Nova Development waited till their 9 floor apartment building was nearly completed to apply for 2 additional floors so they can be considered a High-rise #Halifax Council now demand that they tear it down at the cost of 29-41 weeks,$1-$1.4 million and have to go to court for fines

During today's rally outside the provincial house the hosts of this rally were notified that people inside were uncomfortable as the chants echoed through the building. Good! Those echoes you hear are the people's voice that #timhouston chose to ignore.

March Rental Report Shows #Canada avg Rental rate has been slowly going down and now sits at $2,030 Yet In #NovaScotia rates continue to climb as our avg rate sits at $2,307. This puts us only $47 shy of overtaking #BC as the most expensive province to live in. rentals.ca/national-ren...

Programs in Visual Arts N.S,The Disabilities Partnership, and even the student bus pass program are facing shut down as Tim Houston continues to push his budget cuts. Yet we are keeping our $1 mil grant to SailGP. That was co-founded by a billionaire who's trying to curry favor with Trump 😒

Let this sink in #TimHouston can hear the loud chants of the people demanding their voices to be heard and for his government to pull back on these budget cuts. His response "No I Don't Think So"

So when given the opportunity to hear from the people regarding the Provincial Budget Cuts...his entire #conservative party votes no. If you are against these cuts then get out there and help remind #TimHouston what Nova Scotians voice sounds like #NovaScotia

#TimHouston gets booed while trying to give a speech last night at the African Heritage Month Gala. Absolutely not surprising when you cut more than half the funding to 36 grants affecting the community. Yet he stood there trying to claim he was supportive of the community.

With the New Changes To The Cannabis Control Act #TimHouston Proves He Can Charge Landlords But Only If It Benefits. As now he's not only increasing fines towards "illegal"(in his eyes) dispensaries but he's now targeting landlords who allow these products to be sold on their property

Let's get this straight #TimHouston Government has been spending $6.5 billion in additional appropriations since getting into office with ZERO oversight And now because we are in debt we are expected to accept cuts to 250 greatly needed grants risking thousands of Nova Scotia jobs.

Zagros Nova Home Development claims a "Misunderstanding" when they build an apartment with 12 floors instead of the approved 9. When called out by #HRM they claim it will take $1-1.4 Million to demolish those extra floors and cost the city legal fees Should developers be punished for lying?

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
