Nigel Kearns for District 5

Looking forward to chatting tonight with Jeff McNeil and sharing my thoughts about the election and our communities.

NAMI, The National Alliance on Mental Health has a 24-hour helpline: 833 456 4566 This is the Canadian # Now, I’m asking my small corner of FB to follow suit: Could any two of my Facebook friends just copy and repost to share the helpline far and wide? Just two. Any two. Say done

The second of two parts. Advocacy Advocacy to Action What do I mean by advocacy? In my opinion, is that it addresses all the concerns and shortcomings that our communities and people endure. That being, Taxes, Poverty, Housing, specifically the over all shortage and the unreachable rental rates surround the housing issue. Also tackling the barriers of a basic quality of life for so many citizens, those are jobs and food security. It also includes mental & physical health, ...Continue reading

Whoever was flying our flag on the overpass beside Maupeltuewey Kina'matno'kuom, me and Ben took it down. Someone vandalized it by spray painting all over it along with our beautiful overpass with hate.... there is a nazi swastika on the concrete! Disgusting to say the least.

This is long over due, but very good news none the less. Our African Canadians and Mi'kmaq brothers and sisters deserve better equal treatment and just justice system. I truly hope this takes a positive root and a real and systemic change occurs. I give must credit, where credit it due. Finally the Provincial Government has acknowledged the error in our justice system and are moving forward towards change. I also hope that it leads to corrective actions for those who have b...een victimized by our unjust system. We all will be watching. This link should start at the Premiers announcement and more importantly, the apology at the 15:30 mark should it not. https://youtu.be/3YxEmJjbmEM?t=928

The municipal elections are coming up pretty soon. I'm in district 5. I'll be voting for Nigel Kearns. I support him. I've always found him to be a straight sh...ooter. He's a bit of a dreamer, which I think is important. Eldon generally answered my calls and dealt with my issues. I don't think that's enough though. I think Nigel acknowledges that things can be a lot better than they are and I think he will push that agenda. He's highly approachable and open to any good idea. The status quo is not OK. We need, and deserve, better. I think that Nigel will help us get there. Reach out to him if you have any questions. He'll be genuinely excited to engage with you. Good luck, Nigel! See more
