After the RCMP’s tragically inept response to the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting, an inquiry recommended reducing its role in front-line policing. Instead, the provincial government is expanding its role and giving it an additional $16 million.

“Not the Bluenoser Way” Actually, people in Nova Scotia rioting and attempting to take control kinda is. There’s even a day about it. Dedicated to it, even.
![From Wikipedia:
On June 11, 1925, the as many as 2,000 miners marched on the local power plant at Waterford Lake in an attempt to seize control of it. They were met by company police. 56. When the company police opened fire on the workers. three were injured and coal miner William Davis was killed. 57] The miners then rushed the police, forcing them to retreat. The miners seized control of the power plant, with the cooperation of the 30 power plant workers. The miners also began "liberating" company stores in the coalfields and distributing goods. What became known as the Battle of Waterford Lake
ended when 2000 Canadian army soldiers dispersed the miners and restored BESCO's control. 58]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3zujij5p2hl2ebibhomwshfo/bafkreibh34x36fcqcuthfmxsvut3ywus37kl5yf5ygwqarijn6wrilobtm)

William Davis (miner)
William Davis (June 3, 1887 - June 11, 1925) was a coal miner from Cape Breton Island. He was born in Gloucestershire, England and killed by a police officer during a union labour action in New Waterford, Nova Scotia.l'] His name is well-remembered in Nova Scotia due to the annual
observance of William Davis Miners' Memorial Day in recognition of Davis and also of all miners killed in the province's coal mines.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3zujij5p2hl2ebibhomwshfo/bafkreigs47lweaatgngtqygvtupjmuc5epcf7cuptgvaxxnqsopzsdu3gy)

"That's not the Bluenoser way" could honestly be the rallying cry against most anything the Premier of Nova Scotia is doing these days.
Jace@jacem.bsky.social · 3w agoThe "Bluenoser way" scolding rings so hollow when it's coming from a Premier who is continuously valuing greed over bettering the lives of Nova Scotians. Please look inward, Tim.

Nova Scotia is so lucky to have the Examiner. Most cities 5X Halifax pop’n don’t have anything remotely approaching the analytical and investigative firepower of this newsroom. So grateful for this kind of work ⬇️ look what Tim squeezed from the NS govt here. They don’t have a choice but to answer.

Mandatory age verification and the banning modern public towns squares for young people is, and forever will be, governmental and societal abdication of responsibility so that those in charge don't actually have to dare hold big tech accountable for the very real public harm they can foster.
This is what you'd need to make the social media ban work, and if you think it sounds terrible, it is.
James Ball@jamesrball.com · 2mo agoFrom one of the many PR emails I'm getting about the government social media ban. Obviously this is from someone selling this technology. But stop to think about just how utterly dystopian this is: *constant* video surveillance of all online activity, for everyone.
