Our economy remains precarious and weak because governments prioritize corporate interests over workers' rights. While transportation is key to a productive economy, unpaid labour and low wages deepen inequality and stifle progress. This Liberal government’s policies are a disaster. #cdnpoli

Environmental racism harms health with cancer, respiratory diseases, & more. Now, NS faces uranium mining risks without releasing key findings on vulnerable communities. Transparency isn’t optional—it's life-saving. Release the report. #ClimateJustice #EnvironmentalRacism #NSPoli

Nova Scotia can’t afford policies that put profits over people. Houston’s plan of deregulation & resource extraction leaves workers behind. It’s time for bold, worker-first policies. Read why we need change. 💬🌱👷‍♀️ #WorkersFirst #NSPoli

Housing is a workers' issue in Nova Scotia. 🏠💼 While rents soar and developers profit, tenants face the brunt. Housing regulation can protect families and ensure fair housing for all.

It’s time to put people before profits. Learn more here 👉 alecstratford.substack.com

You know you're on the right track when the Premier calls you out for scrutinizing an economic plan built on austerity, deregulation, and resource extraction—the blueprint for making the rich even richer and poor even poorer. #NSpoli #EconomicJustice

During economic instability, corporations exploit the moment to price gouge consumers—just as we saw during the pandemic. It's time for our federal & provincial governments to fight disaster capitalism step up with strategic price controls to protect people. #PriceGouging #EconomicJustice

NS policies have fueled housing financialization, letting developers and investors profit off homes while driving insecurity and harming productivity. This isn’t sustainable. Real reforms are needed to prioritize people, not profit. #HousingCrisis #NovaScotia #NSpoli

The throne speech noted NS has some of the lowest wages in Canada, but wrongly claimed resource extraction is the fix. Real solutions? Unionization, stronger labour standards, higher minimum wage & income assistance. Houston has the tools—instead he has recklessly pushed “drill baby drill” #nspoli
