Hello! This is an important one, so it won’t be the last time I post it. The Land Defenders on Hunters Mountain are gearing up for winter. They are resolute. But they need supplies, they are winterizing the cabins they built, there is food and firewood and gas for generators needed.

The issue of West Mabou Beach Provincial Park is important to the entirety of Nova Scotia because handing it over to create a golf course would set a precedent for all protected land in the province. If they can do it here, they will do it anywhere. Comments on this: www.youtube.com/live/RP1xHzB...

On opening night of the Vancouver Writer’s FestivaI, I was with seven other authors where we were given the prompt to talk about being a Canadian now under this new pressure from tariffs and talks of annexation by the US. Everyone spoke powerfully. (Cont’d)

I dug a bit into Cabot’s dealings with the Florida gov over state parkland last year. What I read should be a warning to Nova Scotians. In short, secrecy, money and contempt for the public. The post was to inform my local community on fb, but here it is with links: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/37x8c...

An abridged version of my letter appears in the Provincial paper today, the Chronicle Herald. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...
Opinion: Cabot gets a bogey for another attempt to turn West Mabou Beach park into golf course
It looks like Cabot has been working with the government behind closed doors, since going through the community didn’t work last time, writes Kate Beaton.

I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper.
Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...

@caseyexplosion.bsky.social Hello! Long time no see, I’m not on socials much. I just wanted to say hi and hope you are well.

Canada still allows military goods to be sold to Israel, has yet to even recognize the genocide in Gaza, though it “strongly condemns” what is going on over there (wow, chilling). But it’s definite hardline action barring an Irish musical group from the country because we don’t tolerate terrorists.

We recognize that Britney Spears was pilloried in the public eye as a child star becoming a young woman, picked apart, laughed at, and we wanted a reckoning. Now I don't know much about Jojo Siwa but all the same my feed is full of people being pointedly cruel to her as though she deserves it.
