My experience with midwives makes me feel gutted that midwifery services are so limited in Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia needs more midwives. But Nova Scotia also needs midwives in more spaces.

The midwifery team took care of me post partum. Midwives checked my C-section incision. Midwives made sure I was connected to bereavement services. Midwives said my baby's name. Midwives came to my home so I didn't have to sit in waiting rooms with newborns.

@hbsfan9 @scottcwheeler Wages could always be better, but the national program has meant wage increases across the country.

Say what you will about our outgoing PM, no federal program has impacted my family more directly than the national child care program has/is. Can’t overstate the difference it has made for us with two kids in daycare. And I worry about what it could mean if Poilievre scraps it.

A big win from 2024: Nearly a million Canadian families saw their child care fees come down. Parents saved thousands of dollars, thanks to our national child care program. In 2025, we’re going to keep bringing those costs down. Let’s go.

@hbsfan9 @scottcwheeler This isn't true. In most provinces pay has also gone up for child care workers through this funding.

@scottcwheeler One of the side effects of the national child care program is the low pay for the workers at those daycares. The government doesn't subsidize it nearly enough

The ghoulish & depraved unresponse of Canada’s political class & media to #Israel’s now routine attacks on hospitals in #Gaza,indiscriminate slaughter of #Palestinian civilians-toddlers/teens/grandmothers- massacred & starved on an industrial scale, is a stain that won’t go away.

The fact that any politician, organization, faith leader, journalist or individual feels the need to defend this will haunt me for the rest of my days.
What's even more terrifying is that they think it's the "principled stance" to take - it really sends shivers down your spine.

The Toronto Police who sat back and let a serial killer prey on a community for seven years have some thoughts on “critically important public safety issues.”

The scars of the genocide are visible from the sky. Gaza has been ungrounded and life, as it was, destroyed.

Read beyond the headline. "For people looking for an affordable place to live, it's still a battle. The vacancy rate for apartments priced below $1,300 is well below one per cent and turnover remained at a seven-year low." #halifax #housing #affordablehousing

Workers in Halifax help hold the line for CUPW members ordered back to work by the Liberals.
The community picket and kept the Halifax sorting facility closed for several hours.
Similar actions happened throughout Atlantic Canada. An injury to one is an injury to all!

"In the first year, over 900 entire Palestinian bloodlines in Gaza - that is entire extended families, from little babies to great grandparents - had been exterminated by the Israeli military."

File an employment standards complaint.
Uber Eats couriers are employees applying the normal employee status test.
These companies only exist because govt’s permit them to misclassify workers & ignore basic minimum standards.
Time for some basic common sense.

@halifaxchamber @stephenmoore902 @NSLeg Tim Houston is not averse to fibbing.
@dartjenhen This photo, taken a few hours prior to the event, suggests there was enough space in the room to accommodate the remaining handful of local reporters likely to show up (paywalled).

I worked, and processed vacation banks and payroll under this same union agreement.
You are eligible for 7 weeks vacation after 28 YEARS of uninterrupted employment. You start at 3 weeks.
Don't let a lobbyist convince you to hate regular workers. This is what they want.
Dan Kelly@CFIB
Just learned that Canada Post employees get up to 7 weeks of vacation AND 13 personal days.
