Of course the corporate media is screaming “DeFICitS” on a minority liberal government.

We still have an awful lot of work to do to fix our democracy and actually unite Canadians, despite the claims that everyone felt united by Trump's threats, this election was full of red flags if you actually look at the numbers they show we're about as far from united as we can possibly be, and it is going to be a herculean task to change that. We need to stop the flood of misinformation, especially the really toxic stuff targeting and radicalizing our youth who are going to be the next generation of politicians and voters. We are not in a healthy place, AT ALL, and my only hope is that between the Liberals and NDP they can both agree on how serious these threats really are and take serious steps to address them.
Fascism is still at our doorstep!
Tim Houston needs to be watched. He has attempted to pass laws in Nova Scotia that give hiring and firing power of the auditor generals office to the sitting government. That is one of, if not the highest check in our provincial government. Here is what happened when Nova Scotians heard this...
He also has said openly and proudly in the legislature as premier of Nova Scotia:
“I don’t know many Nova Scotians that grow up thinking, ‘Boy, I hope I make minimum wage when I grow up.’ That’s not the way people think, they want real jobs,"
Hear that? Real jobs. Class war is the real war!
Scream it out with me kids
THAT'S FASCISM AND WE DON'T WANT IT!!
This guy is vying for power of a major political party in our country. Join the conservative party even if they don't agree with you. Have a voice who gets to head the party. Don't just focus on the minority parties.

If he’s a facist he’s keeping it under wraps. I live here (too?) and he strikes me more as a fiscal conservative. He for-sure doesn’t respect minimum wage workers but he doesn’t scapegoat or “other” any group like you’d expect to see of a far-right Conservative. I just think he’s the type who wants to funnel public money to his white-collar business buddies through contracts and tax breaks.
He keeps people in poverty willingly and doesn't fight for them as their head representative or even talk about improving their station in life. He tells them to "pull up their bootstraps" while not supplying the help they need to do just that. He openly tries to rewrite and defy laws written to control his governments overreach. He makes sure his rich buddies can build their excessive homes by denying coastal protection.
If he was fiscally conservative our province would be doing much better than it is. Some of the highest personal taxes in the country and lowest wages however. Some of the highest rates of elder poverty and child poverty in the country. A healthcare system that has been in a shambles since the 1990s and he is in his second term of not fixing anything but ensuring his buddies get good hospital and parking garage build contracts as well as fancy homes on the ocean in environmentally sensitive areas, where they block access to all Nova Scotians who by law have legal access to all shoreline.
I could go on and on and on. He has charisma though. People like him for unknown reasons that is for sure.
The fuck are you smoking?
Fascism first! American Troglodytes trying to affect our decisions.
