Congratulations and best wishes to Shannon Miedema, the next Member of Parliament for Halifax. Our paths will continue to cross and I look forward to that.

While I am disappointed I am also immensely grateful. #nspoli (1/6)

Hey #Halifax #nspoli - I got 40% of the vote when I lost to the incumbent Liberal MP in 2021, compared to the CPC’s 12%. There’s no strategic reason to vote for your 2nd choice if you value the role of the #NDP in our democracy

Today, for the second time in less than a month, I voted for @lisarobehfx.bsky.social to represent the riding of Halifax in the House of Commons. 🗳🧡

This election is about protecting Canada’s independence, but it’s also about what kind of country we want Canada to be.

I agree. This is a 2-way Liberal/NDP race. Lisa Roberts @lisarobehfx.bsky.social would make an excellent MP, just as she was an excellent MLA. The Liberals govern better with a strong #NDP. We don’t want to become a two-party state.

Campaigning is a bit of a grind and yesterday I needed a jolt of joy and grounding. So I planted ground cherries - maybe my favourite taste sensation/ fruit/ vegetable?! There is nothing like popping a ripe one. #Halifax

Happy to be one of the two Daves delivering signs this morning in the South End to support Lisa Roberts and the NDP byelection campaign. A bit nippy! @lisarobehfx.bsky.social

Summerville Beach, Nova Scotia, July 2023.

On #Halifax transit on my way to canvass (the 29 is my ride ) and it’s a good opportunity to acknowledge how glad I was to sit down with Patricio Garcia, President of ATU Local 508, to talk about #transit, immigration and labour issues. #nspoli #cdnpoli #cdnlabour #halisky @atucomms.bsky.social

The province is going to spend a half a billion dollars on highways, but Halifax’s transit plan goes mostly unfunded
