1638366820489895941 | It wasn't as awful an end as some but it was grim all the same. Her family & HCWs did their best but they were too few & too tired, & she wasn't where she needed to be. After a lifetime of caring for others, no one with power cared if she lived or died. #HealthcareIsBroken @nsgov | 32 |
1637114313172213763 | Yesterday @nsgov announced $$ to build new housing. The same day, we read yet another story of more people losing housing because that same NS govt won’t address a flawed policy of fixed leases. Here’s a tip: prevent housing insecurity; it’s cheaper than resolving it. #nspoli https://t.co/XUmLCtmIr0 | 26 |
1638961463258673162 | 12 more COVID deaths reported today bringing the number of Nova Scotians lost to 819. Most of these deaths occured after protections were abandoned yet the @nsgov hasn't recognized this grief. @TimHoustonNS @zachchurchill @ChenderClaudia should be ashamed. https://t.co/yfcujHFUM4 | 25 |
1637777466675671040 | Let me fix that for you @nsgov: “This is for every person dying in an overcrowded ER. Let’s get @TimHoustonNS back out of office, Nova Scotia. Learn more about how @nspc’s utter abandonment of every COVID mitigation has made it impossible to enjoy Nova Scotia safely.” #nspoli https://t.co/qLZcXDnaUa | 23 |
1637204437771878400 | The @nsgov @nseducation needs to release the absenteeism rates & the @NSNDP @LiberalPartyNS should be demanding transparency. All the new programs in the world won't matter if students aren't well enough to attend school consistently. https://t.co/jogPcKCjC9 | 16 |
1639298907246034945 | Nova Scotians are hurting. We’re hearing from all kinds of folks struggling to pay bills, even single parents employed by the province, who cannot make ends meet. @TimHoustonNS @AllanMacMaster @nsgov all tone deaf ##nspoli https://t.co/bQmBInmdcz | 14 |
1639266814948458500 | Hey @nsgov, pretty sure a bunch of rules are being broken here. Any chance you're going to do something about it? #protectourcoastline @TimHoustonNS @BeckyDruhan @nsndp @LiberalPartyNS https://t.co/NGqY9iZ8fl | 10 |
1639020064585265158 | A good question for Nova Scotia, too. Why is it impossible to access Paxlovid? @HealthNS @nsgov @MThompsonPC @NSNDP @LiberalPartyNS anyone? https://t.co/5K7xgfeUkf | 9 |
1636722522157662209 | FFS, "affordable" housing isn't housing at 80% of market rates. Shame on @nsgov for yet another sad attempt to sell development subsidies as support for low income NSians. We need direct investment in non-profit housing, not more handouts to govt's pals. #HousingCrisis #nspoli https://t.co/ZOBdrgtErH | 9 |

1638249040750997533 | I get you don't want to rain on your parade, but could you not send at least condolences to all affected by the incident at Charles P Allen. @TimHoustonNS @nsgov | 144 |

1638984898626060289 | I hate that @nsgov is pulling this nonsense. Reporting zero deaths in the current reporting period when we know damned well there were deaths that will be reported later. Thanks to @Tim_Bousquet & @HfxExaminer for continuing to hold government to account. No one else is. #nspoli https://t.co/4MXI9Ao0fe | 60 |

1638012498690338819 | @CTVAtlantic Hire back the nurses who didn’t take the clot shots you maniacs. Just like the rest of the country. But wait, the Nova Scotia government doesn’t follow the science and they would rather people die in our ER’s than admit they were wrong. Disgusting humans. @nsgov @TimHoustonNS | 49 |
1636759207914471424 | @nsgov “Those who aren’t eligible for a spring dose and have had the recommended vaccinations, you are well protected,” said Dr. Robert Strang” Doesn’t sound like “personal responsibility” to me. What if we have family members who are high risk? I want to protect my family AND myself. | 38 |
