June 14, 2021ByEl Jones3 Comments

A blackface effigy on a property outside Parrsboro has been removed after concerns were raised by African Nova Scotians and Cumberland-Colchester MP Lenore Zann. The figure referenced traditional minstrel show symbols including the white glove and painted features exaggerating the lips and staring eyes. These elements of blackface costuming were intended to exaggerate African features […]

So… Nova Scotian

The still-unfolding story behind last year's firing of new NSCAD President Aoife Mac Namara fits all too neatly into the ongoing saga of business as usual in Nova Scotia. Pity.

June 13, 2021ByStephen Kimber

Let’s begin way back in the late 1960s and early seventies when a local developer named Ben McCrea cobbled together various deals that helped save a group of historic but ramshackle waterfront buildings from the wrecker’s ball.

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.
