Housing costs are skyrocketing and remain out of reach for too many people. Tim Houston says the answer is building more housing, the real answer is building housing people can actually afford. We need a compassionate government. New Democrats are fighting for you. #nspoli #nsndp

The federal minister issued a statement saying the Nova Scotia government has “every opportunity” to design a pricing system that will directly return carbon tax revenues to the public.

Morning Views: How do you feel about the Nova Scotia government's decision to stall on taxing carbon pollution?

The letter, signed by more than a dozen organizations, listed a number of recommendations for an “alternative path forward in the peaceful relocation of the individuals sheltering at Meagher Park.” https://t.co/1l9VtyQhgk

[Well Engineered Inc. @WEng_inc]

Well Engineered fully supports this statement made by supporting and cooperative organizations.

The criminalization of vulnerable people because they are failing to navigate capitalism is barbaric and not indicative of a functioning society.

[Julie Melanson (she/her) @Julie4Armdale]

This needs to be addressed immediately!

[Nova Scotia NDP @NSNDP]

As families struggle to make ends meet, Premier Houston is choosing to do nothing to help them as new numbers show inflation continues to skyrocket. The NDP plans to table legislation next week to help Nova Scotian families. #nspoli

People need help now. We welcome a return to the legislature but believe it should be used to address the real needs of people across this province who are grappling with the skyrocketing cost of living and can’t access the health care they need. #nspoli

Government funds should be leveraged to ensure that their deployment benefits everyday people, not just those who can afford thousands of dollars per month in rent.

Action is needed now, and Premier Houston’s hands off, private-sector response is not enough. #nspoli

[Julie Melanson (she/her) @Julie4Armdale]

Today we brought forward a resolution to bring compassion and love to people who use substances and for anyone seeing services pertaining to a substance use disorder
We very proud to say this resolution was passed, thank you @alisonperla for championing this resolution with me ❤️

[Julie Melanson (she/her) @Julie4Armdale]

Thank you for the opportunity!

To see the teams vision come to life is such an honour, I am beyond grateful to have been the lead planner of this extremely successful event. To see community come together and participate together is hopefully just the beginning.

With the rising cost of living the minimum wage needed to be $15/hour yesterday. Newfoundland will get there next year, while Nova Scotia will have to wait until 2024.

We need to be at $15 and working towards a living wage now. #nspoli #nsndp

Feast your eyes & spirits! Take a moment on this: new Circle of Change for #EveryOneEveryDay Kjipuktuk-Halifax, launching June 10. The #ParticipatoryCity approach adapted to center Truth & Reconciliation. More news soon! #decolonizingsystems #ParticipatoryCanada #ReconciliACTION

[Nova Scotia NDP @NSNDP]

First responders to mental health crises should be trained health professionals, not police. Last fall our caucus introduced a bill that would establish 24/7 mental health crisis teams throughout Nova Scotia.

I truly hope people remember that the CONSERVATIVE government does NOT support housing as a HUMAN RIGHT !

[Nova Scotia NDP @NSNDP]

In a recorded vote, the NDP’s Housing as a Human Right Act was defeated 29-24. All NDP and Liberal members and the Independent member voted for it. All Conservative MLAs voted against it.
