Each day I attempt to see a physician through the Maple app provided to Nova Scotians who do not have a family physician (I have been a list for 2.5 years), and each day I get this message. It's demoralizing and humiliating that this is acceptable in a G7 country. @TimHoustonNS

Relying on religious charities to do this work is 'normal?'
My heartfelt thanks to the nearly 500 selfless Mennonite volunteers who arrived at the CBRM in the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona. They’ve been repairing homes, roofs, and removing trees to restore beauty, normalcy, and safety in communities affected by the storm. ➡️

.@GeoffMacLellan's twitter still says he's an MLA, so he's prob not checking this. But if anyone happens to catch him at the water cooler at Kameron Coal, ask him what his line is going to be when the thing we all know is going to happen finally happens. https://t.co/k1Tzm4nQHs

Nova Scotia's Department of Labour says a small amount of roof material fell in the Donkin coal mine's main access tunnel on Sunday and operations were shut down until repairs were done on Tuesday.

As opposition leader, Tim Houston was all for giving the province's privacy commissioner more power. As premier, not so much. #nspoli #cbpoli

@CBSpectator @SaltWireNews @capebretonpost @RCL_DC @CanadianArmy. I'm really excited to announce that the "Blue Beret Concert Series" is a GO at the Legion on George street in Sydney, NS. The series is seeking to mingle performances from CBRM's local & international communities!
