Tim Houston on X today @TimHoustonNS "I understand that the original proposed changes came out of a scan that looked to modernize the Office by looking at best practices around Canada. This scan identified a variety of practices used across the country. There was never any intention on my part to change the existing Auditor General. After discussions with the Nova Scotia Auditor General and her team, I am no longer supporting the proposed amendments. This afternoon I asked the Legislature to withdraw them. Sometimes things become something that they weren’t intended to be and I believe this is the case with the Auditor General related amendments. I have nothing but respect for the Auditor General and look forward to continuing our working relationship. This is why we’ve increased funding for that office in this year’s budget. As always, we remain focused on what is in the best interests of Nova Scotians and believe an open and accountable government is part of that." Lot of outraged people speaking up "changed his mind". Good for him. Good for us.

The free world is in Ukraine today
Barquentine replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I agree - not the best way to run an economy, but it's a huge part of your budget every year and the money does create a lot of jobs and stimulate local economies. Be a lot of reps and sens complaining if factories start shutting down. -

You do know that that US aid to Ukraine was spent in the US at munitions factories, right? Supporting one of your biggest industries. -

The U.S. government's dairy subsidies have led to a surplus of milk, which is then converted into cheeseThe government stores this cheese in converted limestone mines in Missouri. 1.4 billion lbs. 1.4 BILLION LBS.! They would love to flood our market with this crap. -

Isn't he one of the three nutjobs that expected Trudeau to sign a document handing leadership of the country over to them? And where is the missing 7 or 8 millions of donations to the "Freedom to be Stupid" convoy?
