#NSHR will meet on Tuesday, May 7, with @nseducation, @ChildCareNowNS, @MSVU_Halifax, @AecensNS and the Early Learning and Child Care Engagement Table for an update on the Canada – Nova Scotia Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement. #nsleg #nspoli

"Seeing a 52% ⬆️ should be wake-up call needed for Nova Scotia government to understand just how many people are falling through gaps in our social safety net." @CSaulnierHfx via @taasha__15 @CityNewsHFX Saulnier's #InformedOps @ bit.ly/3PHridi halifax.citynews.ca/2024/05/01/ala…
Looking forward to joining this and getting to hang out in person for this panel in St. John’s next week.

What better way to mark May Day then going to a @MayworksHalifax festival show? And it is bilingual. There is free childcare! And ASL interpretation. And it is pay what you can. #Halifax mayworkskjipuktukhfx.ca/event/bread-ro…
Very important new report. This is how we fund our public services and infrastructure. It needs to be based on ability to pay and yet that principle has been eroded.

#BuyLocal, #BoycottLoblaws Do folks know local food is sold cheaper in local stores & markets? The big stores often sell the same products for more $, to bring the price up to other equivalent rip-off products they sell
"Les bénéficiaires n'ont tout simplement pas assez d'argent pour se nourrir, se vêtir, ou se déplacer," déplore @CSaulnierHfx acadienouvelle.com/actualites/202…
« What does it mean when we see poverty rates increase like this,” Saulnier said. “It’s more people in tents and more people couch surfing, more people not eating. In a very rich province. It’s really shameful.” #nspoli @HfxExaminer halifaxexaminer.ca/equity/poverty…
A tremendous loss. What a service she provided indeed for Cape Breton: « no-holds-barred adversarial reporting, taking on the power structures and economic self-dealing of the ruling managerial class. » RIP thanks for your public service.

@StatCan_eng As Christine Saulnier (@CSaulnierHfx), Director of CCPA NS, says, “Seeing a 52% increase should be the wake-up call needed for the Nova Scotia government to understand just how many people are falling through the gaps in our social safety net.” #NSpoli #cdnpoli
Statistics Canada (@StatCan_eng) just released the most recent poverty and food insecurity data for 2022—and Nova Scotia’s rates are alarming. #NSpoli #cdnpoli
Today is the day of mourning for workers who died because of their work. Thinking of all the family and friends in Nova Scotia who lost loved ones last year.#DayofMourning #nspoli

Join @ChildCareNowNS and the Association of NS Midwives (@MidwivesNS) for family-friendly event celebrating all mothers and caregivers, including Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) and midwives, who need a strong child care system and midwifery in NS!
The new Canadian Disability Benefit, announced in Budget 2024, provides up to $2,400 a year, or $200 monthly—much less than what the many Nova Scotians with disabilities need to get by, many of whom live in poverty across the province. saltwire.com/nova-scotia/ne…
Beware people who try to smooth out politics wherever it appears. Beware blanket appeals to civility and institutions as inherently neutral and good. Politics isn’t smooth (although it attracts many smooth brains).

@davidrbrake @CCPANS @AngelaVCarter @CSaulnierHfx @jessmccormick @NLFL_labour @harriscentre It's huge. It feeds directly into cost of living challenges - arriving from another country and discovering wages are low and there are all those extra costs you might not have expected is going to make it really hard to attract and retain workers.

This is an excellent piece challenging the recent @globeandmail analysis raising concerns over rising international student refugee claims. “In 2023, only one per cent of international students sought asylum.” It’s important that our media outlets engage facts in context.
