Shorts and Threads

Not too long ago I posted that I was going to publish short-form content here. But since Threads launched in July, I've found a rekindled love for the immidiacy of posting in directly to a social network. Feel free to join me there, as well.

I'll continue to post short pieces here, too, but likely different stuff.

No Shock: Nova Scotia scores the worst on national poverty reduction review.

It was no shock to hear that Nova Scotia has earned the worst grade in Canada for poverty reduction. Poverty is an ongoing series of institutional and government decisions and not the fault of individuals. Read the CBC story: Nova Scotia gets failing grade in poverty reduction, report says.

Shorts at the Source

Instead of posting short posts on Twitter (now X) and other social media. I've decided I'll post them here first and share them on social. Also, this is going to enable me to post links to news articles and media items bypassing the ban on Canadian news by Meta.

A Maple interview on the state of labour in the Atlantic provinces

The Maple published an inteview that discusses the state of labour, worker rights and the labour movement in Atlantic Canada.

The summary? Nova Scotia is anti-labour, anti-worker, work is precarious, the labour movement is weak and workers are resigned to the idea that it is the way it is.
