Two years ago today, all parties came together to recognize the epidemic of intimate partner violence in Nova Scotia. This declaration was an important first step, but it must be backed by action. Nova Scotians escaping violence need real support — including access to safe, affordable housing.

Shana Tova! Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of Jewish New Year tonight. Wishing everyone a sweet new year full of peace and prosperity!

Today we remember the thousands of people who lost their lives, 25 years ago, during the September 11th attack.

No one wants to live in a tent and no one wants to see people forced to live in an encampment. But this government took away unhoused Nova Scotians' legal right to the full income assistance rate — which could mean the difference between living in a tent or a home.

On World Suicide Prevention Day, we mourn those gone too soon and recognize those impacted by loss. Raising awareness and reducing stigma can help to reduce the instances of suicid.

Stand Up Against Bullying Day began with students right here in Nova Scotia. Today I'll be wearing pink to stand up together against bullying in all its forms. Everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome. 💕 #KindnessMatters

On Labour Day, we celebrate the workers of Nova Scotia who go to work every day to care for us, build our communities, and keep our province running.

I am deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of a Cape Breton woman who has lost her life in the flooding in our province. My thoughts are with her family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

Thanks to the thousands of Nova Scotians who made their voices heard, the Speaker of the House has lifted her blanket ban on all members of the public who were present as some sang in protest from the gallery this spring. This was a fundamental overreach and we're glad to see it lifted.

At the 11th hour, Tim Houston finally walked back his decision to cut the student transit pass program after backlash from thousands of parents and students.

With no support from this government, the Upper Hammonds Plains Community Land Trust has done what this government can't or won't: they're building actually affordable, permanently non-market and community-owned housing.

Dolly Parton was a legend. She did so much to help so many—through her remarkable music, her kindness, and her Imagination Library which delivered hundreds of millions of free books to kids worldwide.

As Donald Trump’s tariffs are threatening Canadians, it’s encouraging that the federal government is fighting back with their own counter-tariffs and offering more support to the businesses and workers who will be impacted.

Donald Trump’s trade war will harm Nova Scotian families, workers and businesses. His actions are especially damaging given our long history of trade, friendship and family ties with the U.S. and New England in particular.

Tim Houston's trickle-down housing plan isn't working. Building more expensive housing alone won't solve the affordability crisis. When we focus on building homes people can actually afford, creating good jobs, and growing our economy, real change is possible.

In the last seven years, Shelter Movers Nova Scotia has helped 1,100 survivors of gender-based violence — mostly women and their children — escape abusive relationships and start new lives across our province.

Being a parent in one of the most expensive Canadian cities to live is already tough enough. If this government took the pressures of being a parent seriously, they wouldn't slash a program that was making students independent, reducing traffic congestion, and lowering the household gas bill.

This spring Tim Houston slashed our arts and culture sector and the aftershocks are still being felt in every corner of our province. Arts and culture is the bedrock of who we are as people and an economic engine for our tourism sector.

People work hard and are doing their best to build a life for themselves and their families in Nova Scotia.

Today's a great day to support local & celebrate the craftsmanship that makes our beer special.

Too many Nova Scotians are spending more than they should just to keep a roof over their heads. The Houston government needs to act now and invest in homes people can actually afford.

Happy Natal Day! 🧡 I love Nova Scotia and I'm especially grateful to live in Dartmouth. From our vibrant downtown to the neighbourhoods that make this community so special, Dartmouth is truly a place people are proud to call home.

The lobster industry is a giant economic driver in our province and the backbone of many coastal communities. Lobster is essential to our identity as Nova Scotians but it's also hard work with significant challenges.

This spring I joined members of Nova Scotia Woodlot Owners & Operators Association to tour two sustainable woodlots. Our forestry sector contributes nearly $2 billion in economic activity and is deeply embedded in the fabric of our shared history.

Nova Scotians expect their government understand how bad the housing crisis is—and to act urgently. So why isn't it happening? The Houston government has had five years, following years of Liberal neglect, but more and more families can't find a home they can afford.
