Folks have asked about the configuration of the mo Folks have asked about the configuration of the modular units HRM is purchasing to create safe and appropriate spaces for the houseless. The units look like this, each bedroom is a single w. a desk, bathroom w. shower. Shared laundry and kitchen in each setup. These can be stacked, and I expect the initial set up will be two setups, one in Dartmouth one on the peninsula.

IMPORTANT VOTING UPDATE - It took 39 minutes to vo IMPORTANT VOTING UPDATE - It took 39 minutes to vote & the line at the Dal SUB is about twice as long now! About half are students who are trying to vote at the SUB but who are registered to different polls and cannot vote here. This is not a "university" poll this go-round! Staff are trying to help but it is slowing down voting and is taking up resources. If you do not have proof of address you just need someone in your polling district to vouch for your declaration and they can provide proof of address. Important everyone has a chance to vote! So if you are not sure where to vote go to this link in my bio and enter your postal code. This will tell you where to go. You need a bill or lease if you just moved to prove residency. #halifax #Elxn44

What took place this week in Halifax has made it m What took place this week in Halifax has made it more clear than ever that we have an urgent housing problem to solve. What happened this week made me sick to my stomach. The lack of homes for vulnerable residents is the result of years of neglect from previous Provincial governments. For the last nine years, I’ve been working on this and lobbying the Province to do more. I continue to believe that the municipality should take back housing from the Province, assuming the funding comes with it. It has been depressing and frustrating to watch the situation between protestors and police. None of us wanted to see events unfold the way they did yesterday. I don’t want anyone to be hurt or suffer and I appeal for calm. I have heard the concerns about the policing approach and some officer’s lack of name tags and wearing thin blue line badges. This is unacceptable and this will be reviewed by the appropriate bodies, the Board of Police Commissioners and SiRT. I do however feel that tents and temporary shelters in parks are not the answer and better options are now available from the Province. HRM’s decision to do this was built on the Province’s commitment to providing both immediate, temporary accommodations (hotel) and long-term stable housing. I understand that this may not have been made available to all of the people involved yesterday, and I will work to connect them with provincial housing support workers to ensure they can access housing options as was intended.
Posted an article about the Leaders responses to m Posted an article about the Leaders responses to my affordable housing letter, where I asked what they would do in the first 30 days to address homelessness and create adequate accommodations for all. The Liberal and PC answers say "we will follow the Affordable Housing Commission report" which is hugely disappointing and does not answer the current crisis. Only the NDP answered the questions.

Running a campaign is fiendishly difficult, all-consumingly intense, and emotionally fraught. If you and your team aren’t having fun with it, you’re not going to survive.

Watching other provinces discover rapid tests is a sight to behold.
