The legislature now has the power to keep auditor general reports private, and to fire the auditor general at will. Non-unionized government employee are now also at will and can be fired without cause.

😂 conservative provincial govts are run like the Mob govt business is done under the code of silence, don’t want any of those pesky special interest groups knowing/finding any information
This is a disgrace, I am disgusted with Tim Houston and his secrecy. He is connected to the billionaires; what’s he planning to do, join the US and sell out the rest of Canada
Maga style governance in Nova Scotia: getting rid of oversight, "drill baby drill", overspending without Legislative input etc. What next? Getting rid of "DEI' programs? For shame @timhouston.bsky.social
That’s not true; MLAs are under no obligation, even by party discipline, to vote for bills that aren’t matters of confidence. It doesn’t take a lot of constituent letters to make them nervous. And even if this bill passes, if they’re hesitant to support the use of these new powers, that’s a win.
Just heard a great explanation on CBC radio, back benchers are not part of the government (cabinet is government). They should be pushing back against poor governing. But will they? Letters to back benchers are all we have right now.
Okay! MLA I can do. My MP is like talking to a wall with an echo, except the echo is just anti-trans talking points and complaining about the gas tax. But my MLA listens and responds.
And even if your MLA is dismissive about it, IMO the goal of getting a volume of letters right after a bill is introduced is to get their nerves jangling.
Conservatives secretly (or not so secretly) admiring the ability of Trump and the Republicans to bypass that whole good government/public service thing and just rule like a dictator. The King should remind local politicians of their duty to serve the population.
My municipality would vote for a pile of shit, if it ran conservative. An early election call did not help matters. No election info sent out in the mail, except the premiers crap. All very underhanded and shady.
