Bluenoser by birth, Newfie at heart - SMU BA’22 PoliSci/RelStudies MA’25 Religious Studies - Proud @nspc president for Dartmouth East #WorldWithoutLimits
What a great first day at the @nspc AGM! It was an honour to connect with Premier @TonyWakehamNL and @PeterMacKay and represent Dartmouth East. Here’s to a great weekend of networking, sharing ideas and building a better Nova Scotia!
Today marks the 94th anniversary of the Statute of Westminster. 🇨🇦
A defining moment in Canada’s history, the Statute of Westminster affirmed our nation’s legislative independence and strengthened Canada’s place as a self-governing country within the Commonwealth.
"Only the PCs can defend Nova Scotia.
We build it. The NDP block it.
And my friends, let me be clear:
I will be here to see that fight through as leader of the PC Party of Nova Scotia in the next election." -@TimHoustonNS
It was an honour to meet @TimHoustonNS this evening at our @nspc 1 year election anniversary! The energy tonight was incredible, Nova Scotia put the right team in charge!
1 year ago today, Nova Scotians re-elected our @nspc government to one of its largest majorities in our province’s history. Proud to have been part of the Dartmouth East campaign with @TimothyHalman, it was a whirlwind month, but one I will always treasure.
Congratulations to the new Dartmouth East PC Association President Mr. @BadenMercer. Together, let’s continue to build up Nova Scotia with Premier @TimHoustonNS to ensure the next generation is set up for success and sustainable prosperity.
Remembering my namesake, Bosun George Baden Cunning on this Remembrance Day, who lost his life in service to the Newfoundland Merchant Navy in September 1944. Lest We Forget.
Thank you for bringing attention to this, Premier Houston! The poppy is NOT political. I would support this bill being introduced, no one should be told they can’t wear a poppy during Remembrance Week.
It has come to my attention that earlier this week there was an order issued prohibiting individuals working in certain court facilities from wearing poppies while on duty in those locations. This order was issued under the guise that the poppy is somehow a ‘political statement.’
This is disgusting.
The poppy is not a political statement. It is a symbol of remembrance and respect for the fallen and those who served and continue to serve our country. Poppies have been worn in Canada since 1921.
We have courts and a democracy because of the courage of those who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in pursuit of, and in defence of, the very rights and freedoms we enjoy.
The judges who issued this order are wrong.
While I respect the independence of the judiciary, I respect veterans, the very people who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country, our values and our democracy, more.
It is not lost on me that our veterans fought so we can enjoy the freedoms the courts uphold. That’s why I find it impossible to believe any judge would ban a symbol of respect for the fallen, our veterans and their families.
I stand firmly behind anyone who wants to wear a poppy in their workplace.
Because of the actions of these judges, if necessary, I will introduce The Nova Scotia Remembrance Observance Act that will enshrine the right to wear a poppy in the workplace from November 1 to November 11.
Congratulations to @TonyWakehamNL and his @PCPartyNL team on earning the support of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians in this election campaign. I look forward to working together to create opportunities for Atlantic Canadians across our region.
Congratulations to @TonyWakehamNL and @PCPartyNL on their outstanding election win tonight! It is my hope that our PC government here in Nova Scotia can work with you to create a stronger Atlantic Canada. #nlpoli
@juliakenney The NDP walked out of the House and focused their energy on making performative TikTok videos, trying to flip the narrative. They are in no way ready to govern, especially if they don’t even bother to show up now.
I support this move 100%, it’s good to see this earn national attention! I am also glad to hear that @NSLeg will be playing O Canada before each sitting, should be more commonplace in our country.
🇨🇦 Starting each school day with the national anthem is more than a routine—it’s a tradition that inspires pride in Canada. That’s why our PC government directed all schools to play it daily. Do you support our move? Add your name today.

Today marks the start of the fall sitting of the legislature! Your PC team will be hard at work passing legislation to unlock Nova Scotia's full potential. ✅

@CTVAtlantic Thank you to these young people for their patriotic support for our anthem! I was shocked to see playing the anthem wasn’t a thing in every NS school (graduated from a Halifax school in 2017), but I very much welcome a provincial policy on O Canada. 🇨🇦
BREAKING: Our PC government has issued a new directive requiring all schools to play the national anthem every morning. A simple tradition that builds pride in Canada and respect for our shared values.

@JtheCanadian I didn’t realize you covered this story! I first learned about the Sikh refugees in one of my first Religious Studies courses at SMU. What a shock and surprise for such a small community, but one which provided a warm Nova Scotia welcome all the same.
