The verdict is in: A 4-day work week is good for business.

After 6 months, most of the 33 companies and 903 workers trialling the schedule, with no reduction in pay, are unlikely ever to go back to a standard working week.

We continue to see significant firearm-related trauma in Nova Scotia. Much is self-inflicted and related to mental health. Many are related to violent assaults.
Our question: why do we need guns?

Nova Scotia Health staff and doctors have shown up for patients, day after day, through over two years of a pandemic. In March 2020, we called them heroes.

This is a reminder - they are still showing up; they still deserve our respect. They are still heroes.

People ask what helps the Nova Scotia COVID efforts. I say it’s the people.
104 volunteers across 2 pop up sites (Halifax Convention Center and Alderney library) showed up and swabbed..get this...1931 people at the Convention Center and 920 people at new Alderney library site.

@LisaBarrettID The volunteers were amazing! I thanked everyone for their time; it was such a great experience at the Halifax Convention Center yesterday. I was happy to see so many Nova Scotians waiting in line on a beautiful day to get tested. 🙌👏

I have a plea/idea for the really smart underemployed students out there that would make a huge impact on our medical care: design a mask that is actually good. Make one that is comfortable, allows us to communicate, and protects us and our pts. HELP US! These aren’t fun.

If you’re heading out for groceries this weekend, buy Canadian. Not only will it taste great, but it’ll help all those who are making sure there’s food in our stores and on our plates. And to them - our fishers, our farmers, and everyone else who’s involved - we say thank you.
