A chance run-in for @chicken_nova Chair @AmyVanderheide with @KodyBloisNS and PM @MarkJCarney! Good opportunity to chat about supporting farmers and supply management on the hustings. #IHeartChickenFarmers #Elxn45 #cdnpoli

Farm vs. Factory: an important interview with @AvondaleSky’s Karl Coutinho about the impact the Premier’s new Commercial Wine Support Program will have on our Nova Scotia farm wineries. #nspoli #nsloyal?
As a mature student who’s committed the past 2.5 years, while working full time, raising a family, and contributing to my community, all while working towards my diploma and planning to graduate in June, I can’t express how much a strike would devastate me.
Over 1,000 Nova Scotia Community College instructors and staff across the province could go on strike as early as next Monday. saltwire.com/halifax/news/ns…

If this is it, if our year is over, there will be people who simply cannot jump back into this schedule, this time commitment. I stand with our instructors, and I’m hoping beyond hope that NSCC does the right thing for its staff and its students.

A big thanks to @dalagriculture for inviting Chicken Farmers of Nova Scotia for their poultry themed Aggies in the Community Dinner last evening. The menu, prepared by chef Peter Welton, was “Poultry Perfect”👌

Despite existing exemptions from carbon fees, Manitoba farmers say high energy bills keep them from making efficiency upgrades. Enter federal bill C-234, which environmental experts call another hole in Canada’s flagship climate policy. via @jsrutgers

I rose in the @SenateCA Chamber tonight to speak to the amendment on Bill C-234. Our farmers, ranchers and growers matter! #CdnAg #CdnPoli youtu.be/7fSBYUlAiTI
Lola and I are spending the evening as trail monitors for the @townofkentville and @landmarkeast Annual Pumpkin Walk! It’s a beautiful evening to take a walk outside and support a great cause!

Second stop in #NS today was Bayview Poultry Farms! I learned about the hard work of Nova Scotia’s egg producers and their contributions to #CdnAg. Thank you to the Jennings family for hosting me! #AgMatters #NSag @GetCracking @eggsoeufs @EggFarmersofNS
Encouraging market ready chickens to get up, release some trapped heat and get in some water. Record breaking heat for June 1st in the Maritimes.

The situation in NS is scary. I hope these rules are respected and enforced, our resources are stretched and it’s far too early in the season to see this many fires across our small province.
Clip from today's presser: Premier Houston announces as of 4pm all travel and activity within Nova Scotia's woods is banned including hiking, camping, fishing, use of off highway vehicles, and more. #halifax #novascotia #canada #nsfire #nswildfire #nswildfires
