Good job Nova Scotia. Bring on the conservative blue wave nationwide. 🌊🇨🇦
1:11:44 PC Win
Liberals got womped gee
I love it when a plan comes together. Now for the blue wave to spread nationally to get our Canada back.
Is he conservative? Does this government actually balance budgets and pay debts? The Quebec welfare disease seems to be spreading. NB calls a 4 billion deposit balanced, 4 years in a row. Maybe they need their wives to teach them how to balance their chequebooks.
Cheers Nova Scotia. What we can clearly see from these results is that from Province to Province, Coast to Coast the Liberals are DONE as a political entity!
Israel idf force Hospital full😂😂😂😂
Proud of my Nova Scotian brothers and sisters. We sent a message that extends beyond our provincial boarder. Time for the blue wave to sweep across Canada.
🌊💙🌊

MNSGA MAGA FOREVER
Tim Houston and his Nova Scotia Conservatives:
– Scrapped a one-cent gas surcharge for Nova Scotia's cap-and-trade program, choosing instead the Canada carbon levy which is now 17 cents for gasoline, but blamed provincial and federal Liberal parties every step of the way.
– took power away from independent agencies and boards (NS Business Inc., Innovacorp, NS Health, NS Tourism, HRM Housing, NS Gaming Corp, Perennia Food Agency), handed their authority to partisan ministers, and limited the ability of opposition MLAs to hold those ministers accountable.
– appointed a Halifax building developer, who donated $24,000 to Tim Houston's campaign (there is a limit of $5000 per person, but the donations were spread across his mother, sisters and brother-in-law), as chair of the new government transition team with access to briefings on policy matters from senior civil servants.
– replaced the independent crown corporations Nova Scotia Business Inc. and Innovacorp with the new Invest NS to give the govt more partisan control over economic development
– despite the obvious conflicts of interest, appointed Houston's friend, Tom Hickey, CEO of Atlantic Road Construction and Paving Ltd., to run the newly-created crown corporation Invest Nova Scotia with compensation of $18,000 a month ($216,000 annually), and another mutual friend to run Develop Nova Scotia. Without public consultation, Hickey's company quickly received approval to dump 100,000 cubic meters (approx. 11,000 dump truck loads) of their acidic bedrock construction waste in Dartmouth Cove over the next 6 years.
– nullified HRM housing bylaws to give the housing minister absolute authority over city planning without consultation and incentivizes partisan ministers to engage in favouritism for friends and allies and donors, although it does nothing to address homelessness, high rents and housing affordability.
– scrapped the Coastal Protection Act so developers can decide for themselves where to build along the eroding coastline.
– fast-tracked "affordable" housing by removing environmental protections from arsenic-contaminated land at Port Wallace to allow developer friends building $800k luxury homes.
– after the Sobeys family paid $12,000 to Tim Houston's election campaign, he paid Sobeys $1 Million to encourage Nova Scotians to buy local products, even though local farmers' markets were excluded from the program.
– provided government subsidies to commercial wine bottlers of imported ingredients that are friends of the Premiere.
– paid $34 Million (2-3x market value) for a new, unfinished hotel, $10 Million to renovate into a short-term 68-bed nursing home, and $68 Million for a nursing home operator to buy back the property for $46 Million and run it for 5 years as a gov't funded and paid-for private facility, that cost NS taxpayers $66 million so far, plus future operating costs after 5 years is up.
– cried in his election campaign that he would provide family doctors for the 69,000 Nova Scotians waiting on the family practice registry, but 3 years after being elected the registry has doubled to 160,000 people and his new solution is to scrap the registry.
– scrapped the Covid dashboard that counts the hundreds who died this season and empowers concerned citizens to make informed decisions, because others find it stressful to be informed.
– withheld spring Covid vaccines until the fall, even for the severely immunocompromised, despite NS Health recommendations for a 6 month booster before the expected summer wave.
– violated patient confidentiality by allowing government employees to access individual patients' medical records.
– underfunded Child Protection Services and removed monitoring in temporary youth homes, where 4-day recommended stays are averaging 8 months.
– supported subsidizing private windmill farms for Bear Head Energy and EverWind Hydrogen's corporate use, while Nova Scotia Power continues to burn coal.
– created a policy that will require Nova Scotia Power customers to pay $31 Million ($67 per household) to prevent power interruptions at a single Michelin plant (so far, until others request it too), one year after paying Michelin a $105 Million subsidy, and residential power failures are more common than ever before.
– support Northern Pulp who knowingly polluted for decades, withheld pensions from loyal employees, and sued the province for $450 Million.
– made an election campaign promise to hunting groups and firearms sellers to create a spring bear hunt, and then broke it.
– campaigned on and legislated fixed election dates, then said he would overturn it to call a snap election if it was advantageous for him.
– called a snap by-election with only 5 weeks for candidate nominations and campaigns, and delayed announcing a local mill closure until the day after the election.
– called Cape Breton's state of emergency a publicity stunt when they were buried by a meter of snow and buildings were collapsing and exploding from gas leaks.
– joined Alberta UCP Premiere Danielle Smith to argue against the Canada Carbon Rebate but won't comment on her plan for Alberta to separate from the Canada Pension Plan or other authoritarian policies.
– have no plan to improve rural public transit or reduce commuter vehicle reliance to reduce emissions.
– won't stand up for local journalism after most of Atlantic Canada's newspaper outlets were bought up by Transcontinental/SaltWire which then closed most outlets, gutted the rest, withheld pension payments, and then entered receivership.
– plan to create a Nova Scotia Guard that will take resources away from existing search & rescue, volunteer fire departments and other emergency response groups that are already challenged for volunteers and funds.
– coerced a female staff researcher who was the victim of an alleged sexual assault and battery by PC party leader Jamie Baillie to sign multiple non-disclosure agreements (and her family as well) in exchange for cash. Baille was forced to resign and was replaced by Karla MacFarlane as the interim leader, who is suspected of issuing the NDAs and was promoted to Speaker of the Legislature (to replace the more impartial Keith Bain for supporting Covid protocols and denying MLAs a pay raise). The victim died shortly after from a sudden brain hemorrhage. A legal challenge attempting to ban NDA's from sexual assault cases that threatened to expose the whole affair was withdrawn when MacFarlane resigned. The PC party still refuses to enact a ban on sexual assault NDAs.
So then, how many doctors did Houston bring to Nova Scotia? They said it was 280, but when fact checked it turned out to be TWENTY EIGHT! Somehow someone added in a PHANTOM ZERO! What a WIENER!
Hey, tell me again how many doctors Houston brought to Nova Scotia? I know he said it was 280, but fact checkers found that it was actually TWENTY EIGHT with a phantom zero added in. LOL! Ahhh,well what can you expect from a CON?! You can expect to get CONNED! Hey, remember when Houston CRIED that he would make health care better and then instead gave FOUR MILLION DOLLARS of taxpayer money for an APP that people could use to self diagnose? I mean, we already have GOOGLE! Y'ALL GOT CHUMPED, AGAIN!
Ahhh, remember all the great things Tim Houston has done for Nova Scotia, here are just a few:
– fast-tracked "affordable" housing by removing environmental protections from arsenic-contaminated land at Port Wallace to allow developer friends building $800k luxury homes.
– after the Sobeys family paid $12,000 to Tim Houston's election campaign, he paid Sobeys $1 Million to encourage Nova Scotians to buy local products, even though local farmers' markets were excluded from the program.
– provided government subsidies to commercial wine bottlers of imported ingredients that are friends of the Premiere.
GET BACK FOR MORE, FRIENDS!🤣🤣😂Look what you did to yourselves!
Ahhh, just love reminiscing over all the things Tim Houston has done TO NOVA SCOTIA during his first term, fun things like:
– coerced a female staff researcher who was the victim of an alleged sexual assault and battery by PC party leader Jamie Baillie to sign multiple non-disclosure agreements (and her family as well) in exchange for cash. Baille was forced to resign and was replaced by Karla MacFarlane as the interim leader, who is suspected of issuing the NDAs and was promoted to Speaker of the Legislature (to replace the more impartial Keith Bain for supporting Covid protocols and denying MLAs a pay raise). The victim died shortly after from a sudden brain hemorrhage. A legal challenge attempting to ban NDA's from sexual assault cases that threatened to expose the whole affair was withdrawn when MacFarlane resigned. The PC party still refuses to enact a ban on sexual assault NDAs.
Oh, so many great things to reminisce on about TIM HOUSTON'S time as Premier of Nova Scotia, like:
– cried in his election campaign that he would provide family doctors for the 69,000 Nova Scotians waiting on the family practice registry, but 3 years after being elected the registry has doubled to 160,000 people and his new solution is to SCRAP THE REGISTRY.
– violated patient confidentiality by allowing government employees to access individual patients' medical records.
– underfunded Child Protection Services and removed monitoring in temporary youth homes, where 4-day recommended stays are averaging 8 months.
– support Northern Pulp who knowingly polluted for decades, withheld pensions from loyal employees, and sued the province for $450 Million.
Hey get at me for more facts about this winner. LOL!🤣😂🤣
Make Nova Scotia great again! Much support from Sweden
NDA's, the work he did to help rich folks secure out of country tax havens…lets talk about that rather than his veterans uniform debacle
Why are journalists in Nova Scotia pronouncing the "C" in LeBlanc!? ridiculous to be mispronouncing this name in NS
