Blanchet is using his radical Islamist line about who is attacking Jews again (said it last night) --
Let's be clear though, the RCMP has found that the biggest threat to increase antisemitism is actually the far right.

Substitute "Quebec City" for "Halifax." There is no "strategic" vote for the Liberals in our city.
My latest -- honest takes on strategic voting are few and far between, so here something to chew on.
Stop lying to yourself about strategic voting

I don't begrudge MLAs this overdue raise. But it's hard to stomach when @cupescfp.bsky.social education workers who keep our system afloat might have to strike AGAIN just to inch closer to a living wage.
MLAs are getting a 29% raise, from $89,235 to $115,00.
The premier's salary (including his MLA salary) is increasing 21%, from $190,780 to $230,748
There are increases in pay for all other provincial politicians, which I'll spell out in a full article.

The purpose of the Office of the Auditor General is to "provide independent assurance to the people of Nova Scotia that public money is spent properly and provides value". If this bill becomes law, the current gov would be able to fire the AG on a whim. Critical reports would never be made public.
