Information being provided by @InfoMorningCB today is critical in times of emergency. But I think we need to ask whether CBC NS should have done this over the weekend when the storm was in progress?

Attended the Eid dinner last night hosted by the CB Muslim Society and Muslim Student Association @CBUSU. Never have so many people gone out of their way to make us feel cared for and welcome. A lovely evening.

Not sure what's going on but as of a few days ago, 95% of the tweets I get are from media entities or ads. No longer seeing all the people I follow?

The fact that RCMP brass have not yet read the MCC recommendations, answers the question, will the institution change? Not a snowballs chance in hell.

Am I understanding this @CBRMGov ? You turn down $5 million because there is no time for community consultation. But send the matter to Ottawa where people, who know nothing about this community, can make the decision.

Congratulations @InfoMorningCB and team on your excellent coverage of the $5 million housing grant fiasco. A perfect example of why Canadians need local CBC coverage in their communities! @BrittWentzell @MatthewMooreCB

So proud of @CBCNS @CBCPEI @CBCNB for their storm coverage especially overnight Friday/Saturday! Gone are the days when the live broadcast ended as soon as a storm passed Halifax.#warmandfuzzies
I'm hearing it's pretty much the same story in hospitals all over Nova Scotia.

@TimHoustonNS Please lower age requirement for 4th booster. And provide it to health care workers. Is our health care system not already strained beyond capacity?

Momma has been letting her three youngsters play in the field next door. Fascinating.

Ah the old bait and switch @InfoMorningCB . Let's not talk about tire fires. Look! Jobs! Does that still work? By the way, great interviews on girls hockey.
Wonderful initiative by @cbuniversity with a great partner @DalMedSchool
We're excited to be joining with Cape Breton University to pilot an undergraduate medical education partnership to address physician shortages in the province @cbuniversity @nsgov medicine.dal.ca/news/2022/05…

I think if @CBRMGov had read the report released today about our children, councillors would not have voted for a property tax cut. Heart breaking read. onechancens.ca/

@CBRMGov There are a lot better ways to spend money in CBRM than giving me back 5 % of my property taxes. Can you give this sober second thought? @EldonMacDonald

If Public Health really wanted people to keep wearing masks it would test like it used to and make the numbers available daily. I suspect case numbers would be staggering.
