@cupenovascotia School Support workers across Nova Scotia have voted 97.5% in favour of taking strike action if an agreement that lifts education workers out of poverty cannot be reached. #nsed #nslab #nspoli #CUPE #canlab @BeckyDruhan @suzyhfx @DannyNSFL novascotia.cupe.ca/2023/02/28/cup…
2) “We are holding a province-wide Day of Action today, Feb. 28, to tell the @TimHoustonNS govt. that our members need to see a deal that will make a meaningful difference in their lives," @melansonchris, President, NS School Board Council of Unions
3) From 2012 to 2022, while inflation in Nova Scotia increased by 23.5%, wages in the sector rose only 14.5%, dragged down by years of legislated restraint under the previous @LiberalPartyNS government.

5) “Education workers’ pay is now worth nearly 10% less than it was a decade ago, and prices have only gone up," Nelson Scott, President, CUPE Local 5050.

@CBPost_Ian The contract for school support employees expired March 31, 2021. #nsed #nslab #nspc saltwire.com/cape-breton/ne…
6) @FredTilleyNS, your @LiberalPartyNS govt. had 7.5 years in power to fix this.

Instead, there were wage freezes, the Glaze Report and seven pieces of anti-union legislation. #FredTilley #CUPENS #CUPE #nsed facebook.com/search/top/?q=…
7) Solidarity with @CUPE5047 members in @HRCE_NS - and @cupenovascotia's 5,000 school board workers across the province!

Much better chance of dragging the victim through the mud this way.

@robyndoolittle Former members of 2018 Canadian world junior hockey team elect jury trial in sexual assault case #HockeyCanada #NHL #RapeCulture @Sportsnet @rwesthead @SNKenReid
theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
It's not surprising that the players elected for a trial by jury rather than judge alone, criminal defence lawyer Boris Bysteknsky
who is not connected to the matter, said Wednesday. #HockeyCanada #SexualAssaultLaws #NHL thestar.com/sports/hockey/…
“It happens all the time where there are multiple co-accused,” criminal defense lawyer Sam Goldstein told The Athletic on Feb. 2. “Some people are found not guilty and some people are.”

“We’re basically going back to everyone who criticized us for the long period of Moving Forward and saying, ‘Yeah you were right, you really can’t trust us to do what we say we’re going to do with our plans,'” @SamAustinD5

Story @zwoodford. #PublicTransit halifaxexaminer.ca/government/cit…
The cte. heard from @ATU_508 Prez Shane O'Leary on those staffing issues. He told councillors transit operators are burnt out, underpaid, and unappreciated.

“Our city needs transit and transit is not being treated like it’s needed." #ATU @atu_canada atu508.ca

@CloeILogan About 5 years after being slapped w. one of the largest fines for environmental pollution in Canadian history, Irving Pulp and Paper has received a federal loan for up to $100M to help clean up waste effluent from the mill. #Oligarchy #nbpoli nationalobserver.com/2023/03/01/new…

How is this not #Privatization of healthcare?

@smithc902 To do that, it will charge a monthly subscription fee — $27.50 for adults and $9.50 for children — to people who would also pay for their appointments, such as a $69 fee for an initial assessment. globalnews.ca/news/9510247/p…
So NOW @MThompsonPC tells us?

Generally speaking, she says people who use private health care to access the system need to be sure of the credentials and qualifications of those practising. #BluenoseHealth #MichelleThompson #NSHealth Image
@HeidiPCTV Former emergency department nurse and department manager @ConradMacNeil says Canadians need to understand the true price of private health care. #FixHealthcare #GoLikeHell #KarenOldfield atlantic.ctvnews.ca/private-clinic…

Now I'm wondering if @TimHoustonNS got a heads up on this before he announced the housing shakeup?

@larochecbc @OAG_NS has found multiple instances where a senior official at former Metropolitan Reg. Housing Authority was in conflict of interest. #nspoli cbc.ca/news/canada/no…
