Wonderful speech. Wonderful tone. People need to be swayed into voting. Housing is such a big deal here in Halifax. The mayoral election had under 40% participation despite the housing crisis. Let's do better. In 2024 people are being bombarded with dire messages and sensational thumbnails here on TH-cam. Great job Claudia, but media is the message too. Packaging this and other videos with short attention grabbing messages that can exite viewers is my with so you can't be ignored by the non-voting population. Although people agree with the NDP they feel that you can't fight city hall, that they are not included in the process. Let's find a way to change that. For instance, make a series of totally effective short 2-3min videos encouraging voting. Raise issues in easily digestable presentations. Then refer to longer videos as links. (which get 4 view like this one). I think dialogues with random Nova Scotians by several NDP representatives with the purpose of being succinct and passionate could change things.

Tim Houston and his Nova Scotia Conservatives: - Scrapped a one-cent gas surcharge for Nova Scotia's cap-and-trade program, choosing instead the Canada carbon levy which is now 17 cents for gasoline, but blamed provincial and federal Liberal parties every step of the way. - took power away from independent agencies and boards (NS Business Inc., Innovacorp, NS Health, NS Tourism, HRM Housing, NS Gaming Corp, Perennia Food Agency), handed their authority to partisan ministers, and limited the ability of opposition MLAs to hold those ministers accountable. - appointed a Halifax building developer, who donated $24,000 to Tim Houston's campaign (there is a limit of $5000 per person, but the donations were spread across his mother, sisters and brother-in-law), as chair of the new government transition team with access to briefings on policy matters from senior civil servants. - replaced the independent crown corporations Nova Scotia Business Inc. and Innovacorp with the new Invest NS to give the govt more partisan control over economic development - despite the obvious conflicts of interest, appointed Houston's friend, Tom Hickey, CEO of Atlantic Road Construction and Paving Ltd., to run the newly-created crown corporation Invest Nova Scotia with compensation of $18,000 a month ($216,000 annually), and another mutual friend to run Develop Nova Scotia. Without public consultation, Hickey's company quickly received approval to dump 100,000 cubic meters (approx. 11,000 dump truck loads) of their acidic bedrock construction waste in Dartmouth Cove over the next 6 years. - nullified HRM housing bylaws to give the housing minister absolute authority over city planning without consultation and incentivizes partisan ministers to engage in favouritism for friends and allies and donors, although it does nothing to address homelessness, high rents and housing affordability. - scrapped the Coastal Protection Act so developers can decide for themselves where to build along the eroding coastline. - fast-tracked "affordable" housing by removing environmental protections from arsenic-contaminated land at Port Wallace to allow developer friends building $800k luxury homes. - after the Sobeys family paid $12,000 to Tim Houston's election campaign, he paid Sobeys $1 Million to encourage Nova Scotians to buy local products, even though local farmers' markets were excluded from the program. - provided government subsidies to commercial wine bottlers of imported ingredients that are friends of the Premiere. - paid $34 Million (2-3x market value) for a new, unfinished hotel, $10 Million to renovate into a short-term 68-bed nursing home, and $68 Million for a nursing home operator to buy back the property for $46 Million and run it for 5 years as a gov't funded and paid-for private facility, that cost NS taxpayers $66 million so far, plus future operating costs after 5 years is up. - cried in his election campaign that he would provide family doctors for the 69,000 Nova Scotians waiting on the family practice registry, but 3 years after being elected the registry has doubled to 160,000 people and his new solution is to scrap the registry. - scrapped the Covid dashboard that counts the hundreds who died this season and empowers concerned citizens to make informed decisions, because others find it stressful to be informed. - withheld spring Covid vaccines until the fall, even for the severely immunocompromised, despite NS Health recommendations for a 6 month booster before the expected summer wave. - violated patient confidentiality by allowing government employees to access individual patients' medical records. - underfunded Child Protection Services and removed monitoring in temporary youth homes, where 4-day recommended stays are averaging 8 months. - supported subsidizing private windmill farms for Bear Head Energy and EverWind Hydrogen's corporate use, while Nova Scotia Power continues to burn coal. - created a policy that will require Nova Scotia Power customers to pay $31 Million ($67 per household) to prevent power interruptions at a single Michelin plant (so far, until others request it too), one year after paying Michelin a $105 Million subsidy, and residential power failures are more common than ever before. - support Northern Pulp who knowingly polluted for decades, withheld pensions from loyal employees, and sued the province for $450 Million. - made an election campaign promise to hunting groups and firearms sellers to create a spring bear hunt, and then broke it. - campaigned on and legislated fixed election dates, then said he would overturn it to call a snap election if it was advantageous for him. - called a snap by-election with only 5 weeks for candidate nominations and campaigns, and delayed announcing a local mill closure until the day after the election. - called Cape Breton's state of emergency a publicity stunt when they were buried by a meter of snow and buildings were collapsing and exploding from gas leaks. - joined Alberta UCP Premiere Danielle Smith to argue against the Canada Carbon Rebate but won't comment on her plan for Alberta to separate from the Canada Pension Plan or other authoritarian policies. - have no plan to improve rural public transit or reduce commuter vehicle reliance to reduce emissions. - won't stand up for local journalism after most of Atlantic Canada's newspaper outlets were bought up by Transcontinental/SaltWire which then closed most outlets, gutted the rest, withheld pension payments, and then entered receivership. - plan to create a Nova Scotia Guard that will take resources away from existing search & rescue, volunteer fire departments and other emergency response groups that are already challenged for volunteers and funds. - coerced a female staff researcher who was the victim of an alleged sexual assault and battery by PC party leader Jamie Baillie to sign multiple non-disclosure agreements (and her family as well) in exchange for cash. Baille was forced to resign and was replaced by Karla MacFarlane as the interim leader, who is suspected of issuing the NDAs and was promoted to Speaker of the Legislature (to replace the more impartial Keith Bain for supporting Covid protocols and denying MLAs a pay raise). The victim died shortly after from a sudden brain hemorrhage. A legal challenge attempting to ban NDA's from sexual assault cases that threatened to expose the whole affair was withdrawn when MacFarlane resigned. The PC party still refuses to enact a ban on sexual assault NDAs.

Jagmeet and justin useless already spoiled canada😂😂😂

Stop demanding Khalistan we Hindus and Sikhs are one for our nation Bharat

I’m tired of these conservatives let’s go claudia!

Jagmeet Singh help our SENIORS from HOMELESS HUNGRY INCOME increases to pay RENT is needed AND overdue you have a pension most SENIORS who stayed home with children don't AND most SENIORS WHO worked MINIMUM WAGE JOB'S don't have a pension that covers today RENT this is SHAMEFUL FAILURES BOTH LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES SCANDALS back FOURTH LEADERSHIP STEALING TAXPAYERS ASSETS SERVICES for RICH FRIENDS PROFIT

Then why did you not vote for an election?? Carbon tax is bleeding us, and I will never support NDP because of it. Winter is coming, what are you doing about it???

Thanks Claudia for giving your voice to this ongoing concern.

Send Houston out of here, false promises. Gives our money to sobeys and all talk. No rent control!

Wasn't the NDP behind firing doctors and nurses for not taking a experimental injection?

😥 Promo-SM

He lies soooo well!!!

This is why we need more NDP!

all professional politician are abusers of the sheep who vote to allow the professional politicians to continue

Claudia Chender -- you rock!!! This fiasco has echos of Doug Ford and the Green Belt and we know how that ended....

fucking socialists

Stop Indian immigrants

The NDP always has better priorities than LibCon parties, but capitalists control the media so their pet parties keep winning

Controlled Opposition. Wake up sheeple

NDP have zero credibility.

Go Claudia!

NDP are the only party that's been fighting for affordable housing for decades

The NDP are great because they would actually do something positive about this issue

There's apparently a shortage of nurses, probably few people want to do it because it's rather gross and they're probably overworked with long hours too. Can the Government force people to become nurses? Seems unlikely, so what NDP expect them to do exactly?

Never NDP

Oh great....another app. Yeah that'll work.

The NDP has zero credibility supporting those liberal scum’s

Vaccinations for everyone 😂

Say hello Alfie, I understand he's no longer a senator and now he is a member of the legislature. This is the man who demanded my company go public and issue options on the stock to him. This is the man who refuses to even discuss any other alternative. This is the man speaking for those who shut down the coal mines and the steel company in Sydney and rejected the 300 million dollars on the table.

True but there is an ER crisis in every part of Canada, in particular the big cities, including Toronto.

Why they don't? Because they would have to address its cause: MASS IMMIGRATION. Then ofcourse they would face the crazy rath of the Woke Nazis.

Hire the UNVAXXED HERO’S BACK…you Sicko

You stupid NDP'ERS, this has been going on for years, and its getting dealt with in Alberta, so when we the people get rid of these lieing NDP'ERS and lieing lieberals, then this can be dealt with without interruptions from lieing parties like NDP'ERS, lieberals in Canada

This man the Premier is the very man who told me the General Electric capital wasn't good enough for him for us to run the Trenton works it didn't matter if they were gonna finances and buy the real cars we were producing he didn't give a s***

My very first job when I was a teenager in Nova Scotia other than the farm ,was to drive a bus load of medical people from Europe around to see the medical system we had, and they claimed we had the best medical system they where going to copy it and they did in Europe but they included eyes and teeth in their system. I bet they would see it different today if I was to drive them around now that I am 62. The only thing Nova Scotia is known for today is the elimination of industry in the province.

Tim... you sound like a liberal... don't be a liberal tim..don't.

And what are the dippers going to do? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! All they do is talk, talk, talk. They're worse than the liberals!

All our political parties are corrupted with young global leaders of the wef. Our judicary has also been captured. The people are struggling with housing and food.

Shame on the Houston government. We used to be better.

Yet NDP prop up this government and blame. Never vote for NDP Again!

Canada and the NDP is a joke.

One day if I ever lose all my brain cells I think I will join the NDP
