Cairista was denied treatment for the debilitating effects of endometriosis here in Nova Scotia and was forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars and travel to the US to get relief. And she's not the only Nova Scotian woman in this position.

Long-term care workers work hard to care for our families. They make sure our loved ones are cared for with dignity when they're at their most vulnerable.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of community and culture in our province. Thank you to every Nova Scotian who steps up to build something better. When you show up, you create real change across our province.

Such a treat to visit the Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum for their delicious pancake breakfast! 🥞

This weekend marks six years since we lost 22 Nova Scotians in the mass casualty that began in Portapique. We pause to remember the lives taken, to honour who they were, and to stand with the families and communities who continue to carry these losses every day.

Nova Scotians are marking the sixth anniversary of the largest mass casualty in our province’s history. One that was borne out of gender-based violence—a declared epidemic in our province.

Thank you Jennifer, Rob, and Sean from the Nova Scotia Paramedic Professional Association for the great conversation today. The NSPPA does amazing work to advocate for, educate, and promote the Paramedic profession in our province.

Today on Yom HaShoa, Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honour and remember the six million Jewish people murdered in the Holocaust. May their memories be a blessing.

Today, Nova Scotians commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge when 3,600 Canadian soldiers lost their lives and thousands more were wounded. We honour their courage and sacrifice, and remember all those who served to defend the freedoms Canadians enjoy today.

Happy Easter to all Nova Scotians celebrating! Wishing you a day filled with love, peace, and renewal.

Congratulations to Morgan Toney from Wagmatcook First Nation, Unama’ki/Cape Breton on his first Juno award win!

Autism Acceptance Day is about creating a Nova Scotia where everyone truly belongs through listening, learning, and taking action. Together, we can build a more inclusive and supportive province. April is also Autism Acceptance Month. Check out events and resources at Autism Nova Scotia.

Chag Sameach! Wishing a joyous Passover full of hope, happiness and renewal to all Nova Scotians celebrating across the province.

New Democrats across the country are marking the passing of Stephen Lewis with profound sadness today. A long-time social activist, he gave his working life to public service as Canada’s Ambassador to the United Nations, co-founder of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, and Leader of the Ontario NDP.

I was proud to stand with community members outside Province House today to mark Trans Day of Visibility.

Congratulations to @avilewis.ca on his decisive victory to become the new leader of the NDP! A huge heartfelt thanks to @donvdavies.bsky.social for helping the party navigate these last months.

For the third time in a month, Nova Scotians gathered in front of Province House to tell Tim Houston they won't stand for his cruel cuts. While his government forced the budget through, the Premier spent the week in Texas.

Today on World Down Syndrome Day, people across Nova Scotia are wearing colourful socks to celebrate the many contributions of people with Down Syndrome and to reaffirm our commitment to a province where everyone has the same rights, opportunities, and chance to thrive. 🧦

Today we mark Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day in Mi'kma'ki/Nova Scotia. New Democrats remain committed to supporting Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Nova Scotians as legislators and advocates.

C'est la Journée Internationale de la Francophonie. Célébrons ensemble la communauté francophone riche ici à Nouvelle Écosse. Bonne journée à tous! It's International Francophonie Day today—our opportunity to celebrate the rich Francophone community here in Nova Scotia.

عيد فطر مبارك Eid-mubarak to all Nova Scotians celebrating the end of Ramadan. May this Eid bring joy, peace, and prosperity to you and your family. أتمنى لكم عيد فطر سعيدًا ومليئًا بالبهجة والسرور

Nova Scotians are losing trust in the PC Government. How did we get here? This budget began as a collection of small, cruel cuts.

Had a blast flippin' about the cruel cuts to our arts and culture sector with Cape Breton icons Tracy and Martina last night.

Congratulations to Nova Scotians Tamara Deverell and Shane Vieau on their Oscar win this weekend! Their success is more proof that world-class talent grows right here in Nova Scotia.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Nova Scotia! ☘️

Brittany says it all. At just 31, she's a full-time caregiver for her sister Katrina. When the Houston government cut disability supports, it caused weeks of stress and uncertainty.

Brittany, Anne, Joceyln, and thousands of Nova Scotian caregivers spend their lives fighting for the health and dignity of their loved ones. After being shamed into reversing some of his cruel cuts, the Premier has made one thing clear: anyone can end up on the chopping block.

Nova Scotians have been hurt by this government. Real people have lost their jobs and weeks of sleep because of these cruel cuts. Real people are having to bear the brunt of this government's financial mismanagement.

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.

Using vulnerable Nova Scotians as a shield to prop up a terrible budget is shameful and people see right through it. Tim Houston won't answer questions about his budget, and his ministers don't know why programs in their departments were cut. Nova Scotians deserve a government that puts them first.

Happy International Women's Day! This year's theme, Give To Gain, highlights the importance of supporting and investing in women.

Good luck to Emma Archibald from Fall River! She's the only Nova Scotian competing in the Milano Cortina Paralympics this year, and the first Nova Scotian to compete in Para nordic cross-country skiing at the Games. Go, Emma, go!

The Houston government inherited a balanced budget and received unprecedented revenue over the last five years — more money to work with than any government in our province’s history. And the premier himself is a chartered accountant.

Today I joined hundreds of Nova Scotians at the Shoulder to Shoulder rally at Province House. Nova Scotians are upset and they have every right to be. These cruel cuts are hurting families and communities across our province.

Today on the first day of Endometriosis Awareness Month, we're calling on Nova Scotians to take a stand against the Houston government's cruel cuts to women’s health research and domestic violence court funding.

After record-breaking spending, this government chose to cut from the Nova Scotians who could least afford it first. 46,000 people lost the heating assistance they relied on to stay warm through the winter.

Cruel cuts like slashing the program that helped Nova Scotians afford their power bills — those are the choices this government is making as life gets less affordable.

Nova Scotia's own @rachelreidwrites.bsky.social remarkable success with her Game Changers series is reminder of why art, especially Nova Scotian art, matters. Thank you and huge congratulations, Rachel! 🏒❤️

Five years of record revenues in Nova Scotia have been squandered. The cuts run wide and deep: public service jobs, the arts and libraries, tourism, community organizations and the scientific management of our natural resources to name a few.

Thank you to everyone who came out to share how rising costs are impacting you & your family. It was an evening of great questions and conversations that we will bring forward into our work as we head back to the Legislature to debate the budget. Couldn't make it? Have your say: nsndp.ca/budget2026

While power bills and housing costs continue to rise, this government is telling Nova Scotians to get ready to sacrifice. This massive deficit isn’t the fault of hard working Nova Scotians. It’s time for the Houston government to answer for the choices they made to get us here.

A fight to the very end. We are so proud of team Canada! 🍁 A special shoutout Nova Scotians Kori Cheverie, Blayre Turnbull, Danielle McNally, and Troy Ryan.

Ramadan Mubarak to all Nova Scotians at the beginning of this holy month. Wishing you a Ramadan filled with peace, reflection, and community.

恭喜发财 Welcome to the year of the horse! Wishing everyone the perseverance and vitality of the horse as we celebrate the Lunar New Year across Nova Scotia.

À l'occasion de la Journée du patrimoine, les Néo-Écossaises et les Néo-Écossais célèbrent la riche histoire acadienne de notre province en honorant la mémoire du sénateur Joseph Willie Comeau, fervent défenseur de la langue, de la culture et de la communauté acadiennes.

Great to be at the @lovenovascotia.bsky.social Gala last night and feel the love from everyone there. Congratulations to the organizers on putting together a beautiful event celebrating amazing community champions. ❤️

As we get ready to return to the Legislature, we want to hear directly from you about how rising costs are affecting you and your family. Come out to our Affordability Town Hall at MSVU on January 19th from 7:00-8:30pm and share your story. RSVP: nsndp.ca/affordability2026

The future of end-of-life care is compassionate. Right now there are 10 hospice beds in HRM when there should 40. That’s 3 more hospice sites that could support Nova Scotians at the end of life in their own communities when being at home isn’t possible and being in hospital isn’t needed.

Every Canadian is waking up heartbroken about news of the shooting at the school in Tumbler Ridge and the 10 lives lost. My condolences to the families, friends and community as they grieve the unimaginable. May their memories be a blessing.
