I 💯% believe we need business development & logical rules surrounding investment: Not for its own sake, but to support health care, social programs & individual prosperity we all depend on BUT, pro-business does not! have to mean being stupid about the environment. The current gov't is being stupid

These provincial cons are monsters brain dead Nova Scotians voted em in for “jobs” and said fuck the future, now we have no jobs & we are destroying the future with what shitty part time industry we do attract. This is what happens when government officials go to church instead of science class

Well, that's what a conservative provincial government gets you. They always talk big, but it's all empty. They won't focus energy on anything that isn't big bigness (with big under the table kickbacks, no doubt). Corporations get rubber stamped, conservationists get left out to dry. Time to change!

Probably another 3 years before we'll get a chance to vote again. I just hope by then people will see Houston in a more focused lense.

Why? Is it the Cons greenwashing when at a mic, then going all out for big money and corporations? How is it acceptable in a province like Nova Scotia?

They barely have to green wash. This is exactly Nova Scotia. Provincial Libs are the same.

😣 When I arrive in Nova Scotia from NB, I am welcomed by wind turbines. When I come back to NB, Irving is “welcoming me” into HIS province. NS always appeared to be so much more free of this kind of monopoly. Your Conz were purple-ish, before the super majority! Our Conz are republicanish

Well yes you have Irving to contend with. The difference I think here is there a pretense by Libs and Cons to be a bit more socially progressive. But they both are all about power and the monied players. They work in backrooms exclusively and some of them together. They don’t need a super majority

They need enough electoral seats. And the smartest ones know how to get them. They are manipulative players in rural identity politics.

/4 "That's a huge issue, and something that really needs to be resolved," said Simon Ryder-Burbidge, senior marine campaign co-ordinator with the Ecology Action Centre. "[There's] a lack of focus at the provincial level so far in creating space and opportunity for these projects to go forward,
