Just before the last provincial election, the Nova Scotia Liberals announced a seven-year, $390 million commitment to highway building and twinning. It was a distinct change from the stance they had taken the previous year during tolling consultations, when they made clear that Nova Scotia could not afford to twin highways without collecting tolls. One […]
NDP re-introduces same tire-burning ban bill introduced — and passed — by the Liberals in 2008
谈论似曾相识。民主党环境评论家丽诺尔Zann has resurrected a bill that Liberal MLA Keith Colwell introduced 10 years ago to ban tire-burning in Nova Scotia. All three political parties passed it in 2008 but the law was never proclaimed. Don’t expect the Liberals to pass a carbon copy of their previous bill...
What’s going on with LED Roadway Lighting?
该公司已经收到了至少2200万美元的公共资金,但没有人会告诉公众公司的状况。
有时,追逐一个碰到砖墙的故事可能会揭示。两周前,我决定对LED道路照明进行更新,这家新斯科舍省公司完成了哈利法克斯地区城市的37,000路灯转换为固定装置,这些固定装置消耗了60%的能源,应该交付的能量,并且本来可以交付的...

What price is too much to pay for the Yarmouth ferry, asks Tim? How much is the cost of a vote, responds Stephen...
In last Wednesday’s “Morning File,” Tim Bousquet walked us through the most recent disappointing passenger counts from the still ongoing, seemingly never-ending bottomless money pit we call the Yarmouth-to-Portland ferry service. (It’s worth noting that Tim got his numbers from that’s-public-information-you’re-entitled-to-know-so-here-you-go Portland, Maine officials and not from our own who-are-you-and-what-right-do-you-have-to-ask-how-your-tax-dollars-are-being-spent buttoned-up Nova Scotia government bureaucrats....
We need to start planning for the advent of autonomous vehicles
The details are nebulous, but the more you read about autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, the more one message comes through loud and clear: The development and widespread use of AV is not an “if’,” but a “when,” and most importantly, a “how.” The when of course depends on what you mean by autonomous vehicles. CEOs...
Who is the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms and why do they care about Lorne Grabher’s licence plate?

The first day of the real new year… Now what?
Are we — the collective Nova Scotian “we” — better off today than we were a year ago? Five years ago? Twenty years ago? Are we more — or less — optimistic about our own futures, and the futures of our kids and grandkids? If we aren’t better off and we’re less optimistic, what is the reason for that? And what are we going to do to change that?
As someone who has spent most of his life living to the rhythms of academia of one sort or another, I always think of the day after Labour Day as the real New Year’s Day, an annual day of stock-taking, resolution-making and future-fantasizing. Which inevitably brings me to this question. Are we — the collective...
