Hey @thenslc #BeaujolaisNouveau sold out in 24 hours at @harvestwines . Maybe there was much more demand than you thought and you just upset alot of Nova Scotians with a really bad business decision. #bringitback #sourgrapes

Tim Houston: the answer to the housing crisis is to build more housing

Us: yes and prioritize affordable, non market housing

TH: never mind, just find a roommate.

Seriously, did they not hear about Owls Head? Enough with the golf courses in our protected areas already.

.@TimHoustonNS you said: "we can't allow tenants to pay the price through significant rent increases for the failures of government”. This is more failure. Wages: much too low for this. What are you doing about it? To be clear removing the rent cap will only displace more people.

Today, the Residential Tenancy Officer issued a decision in my favour. They dismissed the application by landlord Marcus Ranjbar to renovict me + he must pay me $837.91 for compensation/expenses.

This is a victory for tenant rights in Nova Scotia ✊🏾

HRCE released a report about ventilation in their schools in May 2022.

A surprising amount of schools have active ventilation systems that are functioning correctly - yay!

However, there are a number of schools with ‘natural’ systems that should be addressed.

The events that transpired on Friday during the media availability with Dr. Strang has brought up the question about what role public health takes in a pandemic, why our response got bungled, and what we could do to fix it.

A thread. 🧵

This chart suggests we're going to see a relatively high death count for weeks to come, as deaths lag about 3 weeks behind cases and 1 week behind hospitalization.

As a keen observer of Nova Scotia energy policy I reviewed the @nspowerinc rate application and I have thoughts

#nspoli 🧵👇

tl:dr - previous gov't needs to take responsibility for artificially capping investment & utility should be regulated on societal performance #nspoli

We were stretched thin yesterday and missed the post-cabinet scrum. But this happened: "Yesterday, when speaking to journalists, Minister of Housing John Lohr justified his government calling $1700/month apartments affordable and referred to lower-income communities as ‘ghettos’"

If folks are encouraged to work from home, reduce their contacts, in order to reduce the stress on an already stretched healthcare system, how does it make sense to keep schools open when that increases the risk of spread and further impact to schools and healthcare? #nspoli

[Mary Fougere @solid_sister]

If vaccines are a layer of protection in schools why are only staff required to be vaccinated? Doesn't that open the door to more COVID transmission if all who can be vaccinated aren't? #nspoli #COVID

[Mary Fougere @solid_sister]

So Dr.Strang says that we should expect COVID in our schools. We shouldn't be concerned though because it presents as mild illness in children. Wouldn't it be a challenge then for parents to identify if they had symptoms and more likely to send a COVID+ child to school? #nspoli
