Stephen McNeil’s “right direction” and his Chamber of Commerce cheerleaders…

While MLAs debated the government's it-will-pass-anyway legislation imposing its will on teachers in the House of Assembly, more than 500 business types and government officials gathered just a few blocks away to celebrate Premier Stephen McNeil’s bold assertion that “no one can deny the fact this province is moving in the right direction.”

Schools, politics, and the thumb on the decision-making scale

Karen Casey should not have been surprised when eyebrows were arched after Liberal MLA Brendan Maguire Facebook Live-announced — the “proudest moment” of his political career — the surprising news that the McNeil government was going to replace J.L. Ilsley High School. We've been here before...

February 6, 2017ByStephen Kimber

Education Minister Karen Casey says reporters who would dare to even hint that politics — perish that pesky thought — might have influenced the government’s decision to replace Spryfield’s J.L. Ilsley High School should make that outrageous claim to the faces of the problem-plagued school’s teachers, staff, students, and parents. Well, yes, they could do...

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.
