The Ecology Action Centre has concerns with Nova Scotia’s proposed cap-and-trade system. Energy Campaign Coordinator Stephen Thomas says they’re encouraged by the movement toward a carbon pricing framework, but are concerned with the direction and lack of public engagement. The centre calls the province’s unique system a subsidy for large emitters, where families and others should be getting financial aid and incentives.

John White acclaimed as PC candidate for Glace Bay
High school teacher, volunteer firefighter and Glace Bay Food Bank board director John White has been acclaimed the Progressive Conservative candidate for Glace Bay.
White says he’s excited about being Glace Bay’s new representative in the House of Assembly.
“The people of Glace Bay need a new champion. The Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal is our MLA, yet we have terrible roads,” says White. “We have potholes, cracks and faded paint on our roads. It’s unacceptable. Our MLA seems to be distracted by those other issues, like the Yarmouth ferry. We need a full-time MLA.”
