Tim Houston is on LinkedIn. Tell him how you feel:
Incidentally, here's Premier Tim's LinkedIn post about Morris Street and his threat to override your elected representatives. He takes great pride in "standing up for Nova Scotians," so I'm certain he's keen to hear from you, his fellow Nova Scotians.

Covering Canada's national teams is a privilege.
However, Canada Soccer's decision to partner with an American network feels like a huge missed opportunity to directly support & elevate talented, dedicated Canadian independent media who consistently cover & champion the beautiful game here at home.

Glad I’ll now be able to tell which products at Loblaws are overpriced due to tariffs, and which ones are overpriced due to everyday price-gouging by Loblaws.

At around 11p, a driver and passenger and a few others are dead after a civic traveling the wrong way on the highway crashes.

Why is every news cycle around Alphonso Davies always so bloody exhausting.
He's a 24 year old millionaire with free will who needs to stop having everyone else fight his public battles for him & speak, he's GROWN.
And not the 1st player on the planet to suddenly tear an ACL.

Alessandro Biello, one of Canada’s top youth prospects, needs minutes. RDS analyst Olivier Brett says CF Montréal prioritized loaning him to a club that wanted the young midfielder; it remains to be seen where @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social will use him in a deep midfield. #CanPL

The plot — or their midfield, in this case — continues to thicken for the Halifax Wanderers as they added one of Canada’s top prospects this week, signing 18-year old CF Montréal player Aless…
