@JarvisGoogoo As a German citizen, I have always trouble with people comparing things to the holocaust as of not to diminish the horror of it, but I have to say the stories that the RS survivors are telling give me the same nausea as when I was visiting the sites of former concentration camps.

Listened to radio news in this order 1. NS has a 2 billion $$ surplus 2. Suicide rate has never been higher in NS 3. New tent sites for homeless in Halifax If we're doing that well on tax income for the province time to spend it where sorely needed, that's why I am paying taxes

Not only are we losing our family doctor end of May but our medical records will be hold hostage by a company that will release them if we pay about $350 for the entire family... Is this even legal? These are MY records, no company should hold them hostage...

We need to put disabled kids, any vulnerable kids at the centre of our education system and rebuild it around them. If not, we will continue treating them as add ons that we might support depending on the school, the government or the mood of the day. Going to school is a right.

Inclusive education can't happen by the lottery of attending a dynamic & supportive school in any given year - it needs to be system wide & ideologically rooted. Paying support staff below the poverty line screams the absence of an ideology of inclusiveness.
