A very disappointing response from Councillor ⁦@TonyMancini_NS⁩. Rather than being accountable, he just wants to point the finger at others. True leadership is demonstrating humility when errors are made and genuinely committing to change. cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scot…

Very saddened to see @AnitaAnandMP will not seek the @liberal_party leadership nor re-election. Ms. Anand’s authentic leadership style and outstanding capabilities are admirable. 🇨🇦 has been fortunate to have had Ms. Anand’s contributions. Thanks for your public service, Anita!
Please see my statement.

Murphy somehow takes a position worse than just defunding the CBC outright. He advocates removing all of the CBC’s revenue streams and then stripping the organization of all independence by having the government direct their day-to-day activities and operations. 🧵⬇️ 1/4

There is evidence to the contrary, however. Murphy wrote this opinion piece for Bell Media who reported in 2024 that they were cutting local news, despite the federal government saving them some 40M per year in licensing fees and negotiating payments from tech companies. 3/4

Most calls for defunding the CBC come from conservatives who argue it is not sufficiently independent because it receives gov’t funding and therefore has a liberal bias. Murphy’s solution is to essentially remove all independence, which would only undermine its credibility. 4/4

Yesterday I attended a @QMJHL game. It was a fun, lively, family-friendly event with many, many children present. Then I saw the father of a teenage player berating him for his on-ice play. They argued on the concourse. The player was later comforted by his mother.

With the discourse around the @CanadaWorldJ, again, I’ve been left wondering: Aren’t we better than this? Why isn’t the priority supporting these young men developing into healthy, well-adjusted adults? Why don’t we care what we’re doing to them? #TeamCanada #JuniorHockey

Dr. Nadim Joukhadar is a great guy and it’s an understatement to say this will positively impact the trans and non-binary community in Nova Scotia. This will change lives. Icing on the cake is that it will also save money. #TDoR2024 #TDOR

Can I just say congratulations to Aaron Kennedy? He laid down a ton of shoe leather across the town of Quispamsis over the last six-seven weeks, and turned a Higgs margin of 4,472 to a victory of 193. Biggest single-riding upset since the move to single-member districts in 1974.

So grateful for @shawnrouse and Amanda! My aunt and mother both proudly put up their signs from their third-party campaign. They complemented their Pride flags 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ nicely. Seeing them under the Higgs signs brought a smile to our faces and we just know it got under Higgs’ skin.
A special shoutout to @shawnrouse and Amanda Rouse for running one of the most effective third-party campaigns in decades. Their clear message resonated deeply with who we are as New Brunswickers, and voters agreed. Thank you for your dedication and vision. #Grateful #NBFuture

I grew up in @premierbhiggs’ riding of Quispamsis. I went to school with his daughters. His divisiveness, and his hateful anti-2SLGBTQIA crusade negatively impacted my family. I am grateful to unsung heroes like @shawnrouse & @dondarlingSJ who fought for decency and compassion.

I am as confident as ever that history will not be kind to Mr Higgs, and he certainly knows what “not being kind” looks like. I get the feeling he might not like it when the shoe is on the other foot. #nbpoli

And the best-case scenario for everyone else.
Blaine Higgs tells the CBC's @HadeelBIbrahim that this outcome was "the worst-case scenario" for his PC party.

✅Couldn’t have said it better.
New Brunswick voters have spoken - and they’re sending a message that should echo across 🇨🇦: they don’t want politicians targeting trans youth. They want action on affordability, healthcare and housing. CBC News just called it - Susan Holt is the new premier of New Brunswick!
