“在考虑了以下信息之后,董事会决定对您的日常假释不采取任何行动,并授予全面假释进行驱逐出境。董事会在下面解释了其原因……”从此开始。当考虑47岁的伊桑·西蒙·圣殿骑士(Ethan Simon)圣殿骑士(Ethan Simon Macleod)的要求本月初的假释要求时,加拿大假释委员会已经有很多...
凯瑟琳·塔利’s power to persuade vs government’s power to ignore
即使在信息和隐私专员审查了您的请求并认为合法的信息之后,您也被拒绝访问信息,您唯一的追索权是将政府告上法庭。当然要自费。不必那样。这是因为阻止您知道这符合政府的利益。
新斯科舍省应得到现代访问和隐私保护,包括对其权利的有效监督。我们目前的法律不再符合任务。与去年的建议一致,我再次建议将法律现代化,以确保新斯科舍省和新斯科舍省已经准备好并能够应对挑战...
总统与新闻界。还是应该感谢媒体?
The day after the US mid-terms, Donald Trump staged a rambling 90-minute press conference to spin the dross of Republican electoral loss into the gold of never-ending Trumpian triumph, and thus re-establish his personal ownership of the news cycle. The press made it easy for him.
我从来都不是新闻发布会的粉丝。It may be a marginal improvement on canned-quotes press-release journalism when it comes to public accountability, but most press conferences I’ve attended are little more than carefully staged theatre pieces designed to control and direct the flow of information and emotion in ways favourable to the presenter....
詹的选择根本没有选择。为什么不?
詹·波利很聪明。她有四个学位。她是一位获奖作家,拥有折衷的简历和持续成就的重大记录。She’s still only 41. So why does she face a government-imposed Hobson’s life choice: go into a nursing home to be warehoused and “removed from society” for the rest of her life, or accept care that isn’t even adequate to meet her most basic needs?
詹·波利很聪明。She has four degrees: a BA in Social Sciences (with Distinction) from King’s University College in Edmonton in 2000, a one-year post-baccalaureate Bachelor of Journalism from the University of King’s College in Halifax in 2001, a Master of Planning degree from Dalhousie in 2008 and a Master of Fine Arts in […]
让我们吃蛋糕
自1971年以来,新斯科舍省人一直在为米其林的成功付出代价。不仅是赠款和贷款以及其余的。我们也一直以主权和自尊心付款。
Granton, Nova Scotia: Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. today announced two new projects at its Michelin Pictou County site… These projects, valued at $9 million and $12 million respectively, will add 150 new positions at the Michelin Pictou County site, and will make permanent 200 temporary positions that were slated previously to end in 2020. —Michelin […]
大麻仍然合法
And the story is still news. Sorry, it will be for more time than you might like. It's what happens when you become one of the first countries in the world to admit it's OK to smoke pot. Just sit back, relax and...
大麻仍然合法. In the months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and, yes, seconds — “5-4-3-2-1! … Light up! It’s legal!”— counting down to the legalization of cannabis in Canada last week, you could be forgiven for imagining there was no other news worth noting in this country, or the world. Or you might assume...
Why the pre-legalization crackdown on medical cannabis dispensaries?
为什么我们的警察部队突然成为医用大麻的地狱天使,徽章,坚强的代理人对政府对锅业务的价格固定垄断?
On Wednesday, Oct. 17, recreational-but-fun-free cannabis finally becomes legal in Canada. Before we go there — and we should — let us first take a step back and ask how and why our police forces have suddenly become the Hell’s Angels of medical cannabis, badge-toting, tough-guy enforcers of the government’s price-fixing monopoly on the pot […]
P3医院是否有资金的价值?斯蒂芬·麦克尼尔(Stephen McNeil)说
Deloitte(我们支付了500,000美元来分析新医院基础设施的P3智慧的公司)在其报告中必须说什么?我们不知道。为什么不?因为自2013年以来,“您的自由政府”“一直致力于成为该国最开放,最透明的政府,不懈地努力改善公众信任,增加公民参与并为您加强政府服务,纳税人,赢家,’t tell us.
The ever-expanding, ongoing plan to drag Nova Scotia’s healthcare infrastructure into the 21st century — by tearing down and replacing three well-past-their-best-before-date buildings in the QEII hospital complex, expanding the Dartmouth General Hospital and constructing new outpatient clinics in the Bayers Lake business park and on the site of the former CBC building on Bell...
不要对富人征税:他们不会付款
How is it possible our formerly best-to-do taxpayers, who paid $33.1-billion into federal coffers in 2015 could only pony up a paltry-by-comparison $26.3-billion in 2016? What really happened? We thought you’d never ask. And what will happen as a result? Don’t ask.
您是否知道每年收入超过25万美元的加拿大纳税人(他们对我和你来说都是“百分之一”)在2016年的联邦税款比2015年的联邦税减少了68亿美元?但是……呃……等一下。加拿大闪亮的新自由主义政府并没有在其2016年第一个联邦政府[…]中创建一个全新的括号。
斯蒂芬·麦克尼尔(Stephen McNeil):读他的嘴唇。只是不相信他说的一句话
Here in Stephen McNeil’s Nova Scotia, we should mark Right to Know Week by lowering the flag to half-mast and lighting a mourning candle in honour of the quaint notion citizens have some fundamental right to know what its government is doing.
快乐的“知道周的权利!”从今天开始,以防您没有注意到。你为什么要?And, oh yes, in case you’re counting, this Friday, Sept. 28, will mark the 16th annual “International Right to Know Day,” a day set aside in 40 countries around the world, including Canada, “to raise global awareness of individuals’...
