This is your reminder that, with the upcoming storm, to check on your friends living with disabilities. When Mother Nature has a fit, some of us could be stuck. If you know someone, reach out to make sure they have what they need. #NSStorm
Damn right I'm here. My mother was from Africville. If the choice is between protecting vulnerable people from government forces trying to destroy their housing and....well there is no other choice. You'll know where I stand. We HAVE to do better.
81% of people in Nova Scotia support rent control. *
Only the NDP will protect tenants from a spike in rent after the state of emergency ends.
We need affordable and accessible housing.
Now.

🍊It’s a perfect day to visit the #DeaneryProject in Lower Ship Harbour! I’m meeting with neighbours in #ShipHarbour on Tuesday, August 3rd and hearing new ideas for how to build a resilient future for everyone on the #EasternShore - join us, the kettle is on! 🍊@NSNDP
New Report coming out tomorrow: No Nova Scotian Should Have to Work Sick, The Urgent Need for Universal and Permanent Paid Sick Leave Legislation. Report details the need for paid sick leave in NS. #NSpoli
@IainTRankin Give us a reason to believe you are serious this time - that this #childcare election promise is more than pretty words! Will these before/after places be free for all kids? When will the program start? What will the skilled #ECE’s earn? #affordablechildcare#nspoli#nsvotes
@IainTRankin Wellbeing? Delisting #OwlsHeadProvincialPark, selling it for $300/acre to US developers who will pulverize its critical habitats for golf courses that will give seasonal employment to less people than our local bowling alley is BAD FOR OUR WELLBEING. #StopTheSteal#SaveOwlsHead
Republican logic 101: Getting a vaccine to save lives during a pandemic should be a personal choice, but what a woman does with her own body should be mandated by the government.
@aoife_macnamara @IainTRankin@J_Bell25 Since #smartgrid standards literally require connectivity, the time is now to break the #NSPower contract. The 90s duopoly doesn't work to get to a universal broadband, universal demand response, EVs charged off every pole/transformer, fully monitored, 21st century grid. #nspoli
The housing crisis is real in HRM, but it’s most critical for those sleeping rough - we can’t just evict them this summer with a promise of 2 weeks in a motel. We need an all hands on deck approach to find affordable, accessible, supportive housing for our most vulnerable.
Someone argued with my teaching practice, saying that letting students rewrite/redo work is grade inflation. I couldn’t disagree more. What’s the point of commenting on someone’s work if I don’t invite them to revise? If I’m wrong, I’ll continue happily inflating grades, thanks.
