The blind ideological faith that supply and demand alone drive housing costs is staggering. Affordable housing won’t simply “trickle down” by incentivizing high-end purpose-built rentals.
The reality? We’re ignoring the financialization of housing. #NSpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

For some of us, this can be tricky and inconvenient.

If your kid was sick, you would find a few hours to take them to a doctor.

Your country is sick. Try to find the time to do the same.

(And the inconvenience is kinda the point of the protest)

Let me get this straight: The government overspends on untendered contracts for their friends, hands out a $500M tax cut favouring the wealthy, and now considers cutting services for the vulnerable during a cost-of-living crisis? This is peak incompetence. #nspoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

That’s Conservatives! Never trust or believe any Conservative premier. Yep, Cons seem to be “open to development” within the very parks they say they’re protecting. Premier #TimHouston of #NovaScotia on the development bandwagon. And N.S. just gave him a majority, after he called an early election 🆘

The reason it will not work here, it is too densely populated in the areas that they want to mine, it would poison the water table and cause irreparable environmental damage.

The only people more pathetic than American neonazis are Canadian neonazis. Many of the American ones got that way because they were uneducated and neglected by society, the Canadian ones have had their whole wealthy privileged lives handed to them and still cry opression as they spew their hate.

Maybe because the #NovaScotia government keeps offloading climate crisis fallout onto individuals while industry operates unabated? Thirsty fracking & mining will make this situation even worse. We wont be allowed to shower while they 'drill baby drill' & pay us the lowest royalties in the world.

The Goldboro gold mine just received provincial approval. Gold mining leaves toxic waste, polluted waterways, and long-term harm to communities - all for an unnecessary industry.

Read our full statement in the graphics.

#NSPoli
White text in a green box overlaid on an image of an open pit gold mine. Text reads: EAC’s Statement on the Approval of the Goldboro Gold Mine Black text on a green background, text reads: Yesterday, Goldboro gold mine in Guysborough County received its industrial approval. This is another example of the Province propelling us further into the climate and biodiversity crises at the behest of corporate interests. In the face of these worsening crises, we desperately need intact ecosystems to be doing what they do best: sequestering carbon and mitigating the harm of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, providing clean water and air for us and other living creatures, and supporting local biodiversity. Black text on a green background, text reads: Across the world, mining is the largest source of contaminated solid waste into the environment. Gold mining has proven to be extremely destructive within in Nova Scotia/Mi'kma'ki historically, and modern gold mining does not have a better track record. The waste from historic gold mines has destroyed vast areas of land and has contaminated waterways. Taxpayers are still paying for the assessment and clean-up of toxic gold mining sites that were opened 150 years ago. Black text on a green background, text reads: Open pit gold mining is an unnecessary industry. Gold can be recycled infinitely, and there is already more than enough mined gold to meet our needs. An argument in favour of the mine in Nova Scotia is job creation. However, the economic benefits associated with gold mining are short lived. The environmental degradation, continues into the long-term. The threat to communities and the natural environment from a completely unnecessary industry is indefensible.
