The Green Party lives up to its usual standards of organisation in the Nova Scotia election campaign. You can be forgiven if you can’t keep track of who’s running for the Green party. The party has been grappling with candidates pulling out at the last minute in many ridings. These include: •Guysborough-Sheet Harbour. The party’s [...]
Federal Grit leader Michael Ignatieff just visited Nova Scotia and, based on the Halifax Chronicle-Herald report, he had nothing substantive to say. What do you expect from the man of whom Rick Mercer said, “Does he have any opinions on anything? I haven’t heard them.” Federal Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff says Rodney MacDonald and his [...]
The Nova Scotia NDP offers another amazingly innocuous ingenious plan to improve health care if it wins the provincial election on 9 June. To reduce chronic disease rates, it will set up two ongoing gabfests—a council and a task force—and it will “work closely” with medical professionals. The sheer genius of NDP leader Darrell Dexter [...]
Matt Pritchett of the London Telegraph shows us what does the trick in the UK. We find that, around here, Atlantic Frank has the same effect.
Campaign signs for Kerry Morash are going up all across the riding of Queens in southern Nova Scotia. The problem is that the signs say Mr Morash is the candidate of the Progressive Conservative Party—and that’s not true. The PCs haven’t nominated anyone yet. The signs ask people to elect Mr. Morash and say in [...]
Last month, someone from the Nova Scotia Liberal Party sent topless photos of actress and NDP candidate Lenore Zann to CBC reporter Paul Withers. The photos showed Ms Zann’s appearance in a shower scene on the lesbian television show The L Word. A brouhaha promptly erupted with the NDP in high dudgeon accusing the Liberals [...]
The Nova Scotia election campaign is barely two days old, but already voters are knee-deep in political claptrap. The feeble health-care proposal from provincial NDP leader Darrel Dexter takes the cake—so far. Mr Dexter has a series of brainstorms to alleviate recurrent closures of emergency rooms at Nova Scotia hospitals: Hire an “expert” advisor/co-ordinator to [...]

Seagram said some parents were keeping their children [...]
CBC reports that four cases of swine flu have been confirmed in Nova Scotia, all in Windsor, right next to my home of Falmouth. Nova Scotia’s chief public health officer, Dr. Robert Strang, said Sunday the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg confirmed late Saturday that four young people in the province are recovering from “relatively [...]
The City of Winnipeg is contemplating desperate measures to shore up municipal finances. It wants businesses to buy advertisements on trucks driven by pothole-filling crews. Already this year, the city has spent $400,000 filling the holes, twice as much as usual for the spring. The sponsorship proposal calls for company logos or names to be [...]
This happened last week but was only reported yesterday evening. A United Nations employee was caught with child pornography as he entered the country last week at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. Jose Antonio Ortega Osona, 40, a Spanish citizen who lives in New York, pleaded guilty Friday in Dartmouth provincial court to a Criminal Code [...]
An enterprising Nova Scotian started up two illegal operations in his home. He got busted. Kings RCMP uncovered a small marijuana growing operation and a moonshine still when executing a search warrant Wednesday, April 15 at a Centreville area residence on Highway 221. Charges are pending. In researching this item, I discovered that Nova Scotia [...]
I know it’s Easter Monday but, even so, this “news item” has no business on the front page of today’s Halifax Chronicle-Herald. Superstore change is in bag Grocer to alter checkout routine, charge for plastic bags, offer array of reusable sacks Shoppers may notice a slight change to the bagging procedure in Superstores as of [...]
This morning’s inspiring and thought-provoking Easter sermon by The Rev David Curry, Rector of Christ Church, Windsor, includes this great line: With apologies to President Obama, and for that matter most politicians, the Resurrection is change you can believe in. Read the whole thing.
