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.

#NovaScotia rent supplement program has faced multiple delays giving payments, and non-profits such as @adsumforwomen.bsky.social has stepped up to help Nova Scotians but at a cost. They revealed that nonprofits have spent $77k last year and $32k this year when payments were delayed.

An ongoing investigation by #cbc has revealed that #Sobeys and #Loblaws may just be the reason why #HRM has food deserts. They have either Restrictive covenants or Exclusivity clauses in place on properties they own preventing landlords from renting properties to tenants who want to sell produce.

#NovaScotia is now $8 shy of being the most unaffordable Province to live in according to the latest report on rentals.ca . Yet #Halifax chooses to focus on shutting down designated encampments (while shelters point out they're already full), instead of addressing why encampments are needed.

#TimHouston sure knows how to pick em 🤦 The newest Housing Minister for #NovaScotia John White shows he only focused on 1/3 of his job description as he states he's ONLY focused on housing stock. Seems he didn't read the part that says he's mandated to provide Safe,Suitable, and Affordable housing

The ongoing Saga of #Dartmouth Cove Infill continues as Transport #Canada gives amended approval. Ignoring the voices of local people,groups, experts and #Halifax Council who voted 12-3 to restrict this project. This opens a dangerous path that could allow future companies to build on our coves.

@novascotiapower.bsky.social Consumers see their rates climb year of over year, yet this very utility company can't seem to pay their own bills. Contractors claim they have not been paid in months by the utility company, which N.S Power blames the ransomware attack for the reason of not paying.

Dalhousie Legal Aid Just came out with their "Human Rights in a Housing Crisis" survey. You can check out the results here www.tenantsrightsguide.ca/tenant-survey This really shines a light on some key issues in #NovaScotia especially around knowing your rights as a tenant

This is why immediately when I see polling data I search for how many were involved in said poll. Do you think 1,052 people across #Canada are enough to claim they heard from Canadians? You can view the data here. nanos.co/wp-content/u...

The timing of this is very sus as it shows how much #Timhouston has the Mayor's back. Earlier this month #AndyFillmore has had complaints filed against him by citizens of #Halifax and now people can't make complaints. This is taking a page right out of a certain orange president's Playbook

Over the weekend, a thief broke into #Guysborough County Fire Dept., stealing donated hats, hoodies, mugs, on-top of wiper fluid & fuel containers. Fire Chief Doug Halfpenny called it discouraging, as firefighters are already strained by the ongoing drought & wildfires in #NovaScotia.

#NovaScotia is seeing a once in 50 year Drought. This drought has been ongoing since June and has caused such dryness that we've seen wildfires like Lake George and Long Lake. Local farmers are getting to such a point that they may sell the animals just to get by.

#TimHouston rush to pass his Omnibus bills not only shows how little he cares for the opinions of Nova Scotians but Bill 127 clause 14 goes against the very Charter Rights of our Mi'kmaq people. Then again this comes to no surprise given our Primers track record. nslegislature.ca/legc/bills/6...

#Halifax Council voted 12-3 to pass planning amendments for #Dartmouth Cove to only allow infilling activities for public infrastructure, utilities or retaining walls." #AndyFillmore voted against this and sided with the company, which is not surprising as they donated to his campaign

Everwind Fuels applied to set up 54-turbines, 432-megawatt wind project in Guysborough County. The goal is to sell green hydrogen and ammonia overseas. This project would cause some fish habitat loss and changes to 80+ wetlands The project would require the clearing of about 623 hectares of land

@hfx-fire.bsky.social Fire Chief finally steps down. The union has experience from senior staff • Mismanagement of funds • Racist/Sexist retaliation • Poor Management Of Staff During Crisis • Lack Of Proper Recruitment and Training They protect #NovaScotia everyday and deserve better

So #TimHouston is looking for ways to claw back from the projected $1.2 billion deficit he put us in. So one of these ideas is to reduce the funding for the greatly needed Heat Rebate Program? Which helped 132,000 Nova Scotians last year. All the while N.S Power aims to increase rates.

Issue 19 of the paper is out now—no paywall on this issue. On the front Giancarlos Cininni dives into the city's 1.4 billion debt problems. On the back @landofsticks.bsky.social explains how council has given up on Halifax Transit and road safety. Grab it in your inbox or at Atlantic News.

The #NovaScotia Gov has come out with an update on their housing plan, while more housing is great our infrastructure is suffering badly. The Construction Association of N.S are in a skilled trade workers crisis HFX Fire Fighters, N.S Schools, Utilities companies, and etc are all struggling

#Canada Federal Gov has initiated a Firearms Buyback program with focus on Assault Style firearms, as these types of firearms are not used for hunting or shooting practices. The pilot program will start in #NovaScotia. Will It Work? You can view details of that here www.canada.ca/en/public-sa...

#Halifax Council votes 12-5 to move forward with efforts to potentially limit infilling at #Dartmouth Cove. #AndyFillmore voted against this due to Downtown Dartmouth Water Revitalization project Andy's opinion on this matter has been called into question as the company did donate to his campaign

The latest #NovaScotia projected budget is $1.2 Billion Deficit Some Biggest contributors are Long-term care facilities are now tangible capital assets and not loans which added $879.9 million $411 million for the Health Department Bridge tolls removal added $318 million, $157 million was forgiven.

The Construction Association of Nova Scotia who has 570 businesses throughout Atlantic Canada has pointed out 2 crucial issues with the rise of housing projects. They need more Workforce & Faster Permit Approval. Permit Approvals atm can take longer than a building being built.

@hfx-fire.bsky.social Fire Fighters had enough as they released a 3 page letter calling for a change of leadership. You can view the letter here shorturl.at/B2vTu They point out there is not only no system in place for up staffing but management is attacking any members speaking out.

@hfx-fire.bsky.social union has stated they can't keep up with #Halifax population growth. The Middle Sackville Fire is a prime example of this. In a direct follow up post by Halifax Professional Fire Fighters they stated they had not only half the crew required but this was a failure of leadership

In the latest CCPA Report And #Halifax Students show that even a Living Wage of $27 is not enough to even afford a 1 bedroom in the city. This really shows #NovaScotia needs to do far more to protect its tenants than just building more housing.

@novascotiapower.bsky.social has failed yet again to meet the performance standards set by the N.S Energy Board For the 8th year in a row. N.S Energy Board made it clear the fine they incurred of $1 million is to go towards crediting their consumers and not recovered through cost hikes.

Stories like this shines a light on how little protection there is for tenants in N.S. We need to bring discussions back about a tenant Enforcement Unit.The same one #Timhouston spent $300,000 to look into but threw out claiming red tape and bureaucracy assets.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

So #Halifax wants to yet again phase out designated encampments, But is this any different from their past actions which were "Close Encampments First Think Later" tactics #hrmpolice are adopting a new policy for handling encampment's which may help You can view it here www.halifax.ca/media/91691

#NovaScotia public housing wait list has now hit 8,200 people, this was at 7,020 as of October 2024. This is a clear sign that more needs to be done than just focusing on building more housing. We need to actually address what is causing N.S to be the 3rd most unaffordable province to live in.

@novascotiapower.bsky.social is aiming to increase their rates once again, We also can't forget @halifaxwater.bsky.social also wanting to increase their rates. Combine this with #Novascotia rental market continuously going up, how can our Minimum Wage keep up? It's time to move to a Living Wage.

@dalhousieu.bsky.social could be looking at a second strike as @cupe3912.bsky.social voted Yes to a Strike Mandate with 87.7% saying yes. Now these talks won't happen till Oct 2nd but with DFA currently on strike it's not looking good for the university.

#Dalhousie continues to show how little they care for their staff as they only offer 2% increase to wages and want DFA to drop all other demands. DFA simply wants Improved work conditions Fair wage catch up, Keep 90/10 clause for permanent hires.

#NovaScotia Liberals put forward 2 bills for a Social media ban on kids under 16 Looking to the UK we can see the growing backlash and massive privacy concerns this brings and a rise of VPN usage. Some experts encourage this use of parent controls to monitor internet access instead. Thoughts?
