I'm deeply saddened to hear about Colleen Jones' passing. A superstar on and off the ice, a champion curler and talented storyteller, she showed us what it means to represent the best of Nova Scotia—and have a blast while doing it. Thinking of Colleen's family, friends, colleagues, and fans.

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we're reminded that far too many women and girls aren't safe in their homes, in their communities, or online. We stand with survivors and the front-line organizations who support them every single day.

Houston's plan to support developers building high-end apartments that people can't afford is not making it easier to afford a home in our province.
The data is clear: we need to invest in non-market housing options that will actually take the pressure of renters.

You Nova Scotians should be able to find and keep a safe home that you can afford.

Today marks 45 years since the late Alexa McDonough was elected to lead the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party. She was the first woman elected to lead a recognized party at any level in Canada and was later appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada.

On World Diabetes Day, we're reminded that everyone should have the care they need to manage this chronic condition. With proper support, those with diabetes can thrive. It's vital to ensure they have access to the primary care they need, something that too many Nova Scotians are still waiting for.

On Viola Desmond Day we remember and celebrate the African Nova Scotian civil rights leader who took a stand when she was faced with racist and unjust treatment. Her fight against racial segregation inspired people across the country and continues to motivate us today to pursue justice for all.

On Tim Houston's watch, housing costs are out of control, and it's just as expensive to live in Halifax as in Toronto!
Claudia Chender is standing up for Nova Scotians and demanding immediate action to protect renters and lower costs so everyone can have a safe, affordable home.

It was a pleasure to join my colleague Krista Gallagher for a community conversation in Annapolis Royal last night. We heard about people's love for their town as well as their concerns about protecting the coast, accessing health care, housing, rural transit, and so much more.

Across Nova Scotia, small businesses add character to our communities. This week we celebrate them and their hard work. It's never been a better time to support local, starting on a main street near you!

If it feels like everything is getting more expensive, it's because it is.
Under the Houston government, the cost of rent, power, and other basics are up – way up.
This is Tim Houston's record. Nova Scotians deserve better.

Today is Healthy Wells Day!
This year, serious drought conditions have meant months of dry wells for thousands of Nova Scotians. 45% of people in our province get their drinking water from private wells and need support to keep their wells healthy now more than ever.
