Rural communities can walk and chew gum (and shovel snow) at the same time. Maybe it's time for a provincial government that will follow their lead. Our seniors and small businesses deserve better: Housing, roads, internet, and now... banking too. We need more than platitudes, more than well wishes, more than strongly worded letters. We need ACTION to revitalize our communities, and we need it now. https://www.ckbw.ca//rbc-shutdown-to-leave-rural-communit/

Mental Health care is a vital part of health care. That's why the NDP tabled a Mental Health Bill of Rights 2 years ago. The bill would ensure that 10% of the... health care budget be spent on mental health, as recommended by the WHO.

Nova Scotia NDP leader Gary Burrill has used the strongest language yet of any political leader in Nova Scotia to denounce the violence. Burrill told reporters Thursday that it is a "repugnant thing that citizens of our province should have to endure racist vigilantism in the exercise of a right which has been established incontrovertibly by the highest court in our country." He, too, said DFO was to blame for not defining a "moderate livelihood" sooner.

Harsh words maybe, but our current MLA, Suzanne Lohnes-Croft, is voting down vital education-related motions as we head into the school year with a vague plan for navigating COVID-19. What’s her rationale? Doesn’t she think we deserve answers?
