Just a gal living along the coast on Cape Breton Island, loving life and trying to keep it to a small footprint! 🌊 🌎 🦶 She/Her.

It’s time to change the conversation and start talking about Just Transition - jobs close to home that are safe for our workers and that support healthy communities. Donkin Coal Mine is neither and is - quite frankly - an accident waiting to happen! https://t.co/MOugyJcAAQ

COMMENTARY: Time to silence Donkin mine ... https://t.co/COMG7eOu3k

[Tom Ayers @tomayers2262]

Residents question value of new study on noise from the idled underground Donkin coal mine. They say study might not detect the low frequency that includes the tonal sound.

@TimHoustonNS - our health matters! Stop the Donkin Mine Noise!

Cape Breton residents near shuttered Donkin mine question effectiveness of planned noise tests https://t.co/x1pA4bWs1X

[Catherine Fergusson @capebretoncath]

“ residents were informed that direct communication with the Department would cease unless they consented to this flawed testing approach. ….For those seeking accountability from provincial regulators, this amounted to an ultimatum not meaningful engagement. @TimHoustonNS

Donkin coal mine located in the CBRM producing noise loud enough to wake people in the night 🟰 a clear failure of regulation & enforcement & complete disregard for residents’ health

‼️ Donkin Mine Noise Alert ‼️

Noise from Donkin Mine -extremely loud for last 5 nights.

Imagine a government that knowingly exposes people to harmful noise & puts their health at risk.

WAIT — you don’t have to imagine it. We’re living it.

I don't like talking about the hate & abuse I received in politics. I don't need sympathy. But we do need change. And I promised to support women & girls who want to go into politics. So here is my story.
We need to stop this. Now. Thanks @thewalrus! https://t.co/ChdXrVeexF

LETTER: Time for Premier Houston to listen to Cape Bretoners https://t.co/VUxtHSGv0w

If it feels like everything is getting more expensive, it's because it is.

Under the Houston government, the cost of rent, power, and other basics are up – way up.

This is Tim Houston's record. Nova Scotians deserve better.

Posting a little late but it’s never too late to voice your opposition to any proposal that would allow the development of a privately owned golf course by Cabot on West Mabou Beach Provincial Park — a publicly protected land!

[Donald Calabrese 🦩 @DonnieCalabrese]

Everyone in Cape Breton should head to Mabou on Monday to discuss saving West Mabou Beach with Claudia. Important for our political leaders to meet with concerned citizens, especially when @TimHoustonNS and Kyle MacQuarrie are too chickenshit to face their own constituents.

[Francesca Fiorentini @franifio]

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy.

Nice to see an article about @atRachelGilmore in today's Devoir. Predictably, there is no similar coverage in English.

When I was targeted by the same people, the same thing happened -- full page story in Le Soleil and silence in English.

@TimHoustonNS @MichaelTGorman @FredTilleyNS @MiningNS @nsgov @EcologyAction @welliott7 @Tim_Bousquet @TimothyHalman @NovaMac @poitrasCBC The amount of ink that @SaltWireNews gives to Sean Kirby of @MiningNS is a great example of just how widespread #IndustryCapture is in Nova Scotia.

@BobRae48 This is about ending the genocide in Gaza. Children are dying from starvation. It’s time to stop talking about finding a solution and start stopping the atrocities that governments are allowing to happen with their inaction.

[Catherine Fergusson @capebretoncath]

For 5+ years, residents near the Donkin coal mine have been battling an invisible but relentless intruder: a low-frequency industrial hum, emanating from massive ventilation fans—fans that have been running day and night, audible up to 7 km away.

[Catherine Fergusson @capebretoncath]

Exactly!

[John George McCracken @BigJMcC]

Hey #MorienResources, why would someone by a coal mine and not re-open it?

@CdnPressNews The Nova Scotia company says it's unclear whether a successful sale will result in the mine restarting operations.

I don’t how else to interpret the Houston government’s embrace of increased fossil fuel mining (Donkin, fracking, the offshore) as anything other than a complete indifference to the province’s supposed greenhouse emission reduction goals. https://t.co/afETvsx6Il

We’re halfway through the #juneclimatemeetings and we haven’t seen enough progress from countries yet. Leadership from the Brazil #COP30 presidency is needed to get us into a better place in time for this year’s climate negotiations.
