@novascotiandp: Shyla is a mom of two with a good-paying federal government job, but the rising price of power bills, groceries and gas are putting strain on her family’s budget and forcing her to look at relocating — like so many Nova Scotians we hear from every day. New Democrats are pushing for solutions: ➡️ On-bill discounts ➡️ Support to make homes more energy efficient so it costs less to heat and cool ➡️ Help for people managing overdue Nova Scotia Power bills ➡️ A crisis intervention fund ➡️ Removing tax on all groceries ➡️ Changing rules that stop independent grocery stores from opening ➡️ Banning surveillance pricing Instead of putting solutions in place for people today, the Houston government is focused on long-term hypothetical energy projects that will take decades. People need help right now and this government isn’t getting it.
I need to get out of NS cause I can't afford it here either but where do you go when the whole country is in crisis... 😭

I'll probably have to move out of Ontario. Question is, by the time I do, which province won't be trying to privatize Healthcare and why TF doesn't the federal govt enforce the Canada Health Act?

My Social Assistance worker had to relocate and move in with her parents because of cost of living. I ended up needing SA because I spent 2 years looking after my brother at his end of life, where all other benefits ran out and neither the not Veteran’s Affairs would pay for me to care for him and after his care my age and health limited my ability to work. She had been consistently working FOR THE GOVERNMENT!!!!

to where all across Canada is expensive. I used to think maybe Saskatchewan wouldn't be too bad, but here it's just as expensive anywhere else in Canada

The government is letting the power company etc do what ever they want !! The government says they are trying to help homeless but yet they are forcing people to sell their homes because the land tax is to high they are the biggest cause of all this

It is sadly the reality for many here. Something has to give, because people shouldn't be forced to relocate to be able to live adequately. It has become difficult for so many with the costs of living increasing at such a ridiculous rate. 😔 Noone should have to make this choice.

When we see who is profiting from the decisions this government makes and those who suffer, it’s clear that greed has taken over power of our province.
