What else does the Liberal government have in mind that will take away the rights of working people in Nova Scotia?

I'd like to outline the anti-worker legislation passed by this Liberal Government, and then deal with the added problems of Bill 100.

A year ago, Premier McNeil's government passed essential service legislation that forced home support workers back to work. The Law also stripped 700 nurses from the Victorian Order of Nurses of their right to strike. All told, Bill 37 stripped the right to strike from nearly 40,000 workers in the health sector including nurses, and hospital workers, 911 operators and paramedics. Half the union members in N.S. will be affected by Bill 37.

Editor's note: Today the president of Dalhousie University Richard Florizone announced that the 13 members of the misogynistic Facebook group have been suspended. Florizone has not specified whether or not the students will graduate as a result of this suspension. This article was originally published on December 24, 2014.

Who is on Harper's plane to Israel?

Headlines in the news trumpet the fact that the Prime Minister has taken a group of 208 (!) supporters to Israel, many at Canadian taxpayers' expense.

Reading through the list is an eye-opener. It includes 21 Jewish rabbis and more than 56 representatives from various Zionist lobbying groups and private Jewish schools. In addition, there are ten representatives from evangelical Christian groups which unconditionally support the most extreme Israeli positions. The delegation includes members of these groups: the Christian Missionary Alliance of Canada, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, Trinity Bible Church, Crossroads Christian Communications, and the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.
