You can't walk in the woods in NS, but corporations appear to be permitted to spray the woods and kill deciduous plants and trees: is this reasonable? halifaxexaminer.ca/economy/natura…

Today in #NovaScotia 94% of the entire province is in low fire danger risk. A travel ban is legally not justified. It is not complicated . Read the data. The data changes daily and the danger will rise again as it always does until another rain. ⁦Vigilant Fox 🦊⁩ #nspoli

#nspoli Sept 8 2025 and after yesterdays rains 97% of the province is in low fire risk. There is zero reason for a travel ban today. It is a charter guaranteed right being stolen from Nova Scotians by a premier who has repeatedly ignored our charter of rights and freedoms .

Charlie Kirk was a 31-year-old father of two, mercilessly assassinated yesterday on a university campus for simply expressing his views. We must unite around this important principle: political violence is never acceptable. Freedom of speech and expression must be protected. My

Worth a read: "Teach students that objectionable speech is violence and you invite them to see their own aggression as self-defense. This is the bloody fallacy we just witnessed: Accept the premise that rhetoric is a physical attack and you hand extremists a moral permission

A recent national poll shows that 57% of Canadians believe free speech is under threat, and nearly half of university students admit they stay silent in class out of fear of reprisal from instructors. Fear like this has no place in a free and open society.
