But I’m uncomfortable setting different tiers of public service based on residence, and besides that, it strikes me that one of the first things tourists will experience after crossing the provincial border is an obvious money grab from them - which isn’t the most welcoming message. Removal of the tolls will make a difference in people’s lives, especially those who regularly commute across the pass.
MACPASS COBEQUID SERIAL NUMBER
If you have a MacPass, you can set up a Cobequid Pass account by calling 1-87 and providing them with your transponder serial number (located on the lower left hand corner of your transponder (i.e.
MACPASS COBEQUID REGISTRATION
Those without transponders will have to stop to demonstrate registration ( the announcement doesn’t say if the licence plate suffices or if you have to show the paper registration).
MACPASS COBEQUID DRIVERS
The toll booths will remain, as well as the rumble strips and reduced speed limits, but drivers with transponders will be able to drive through without stopping. The province yesterday removed tolls on the Cobequid Pass - but only for vehicles registered in Nova Scotia. Not a great position to start with, to try to convince the 90%+ of eligible voters who have already been vaccinated to join the anti-vax crusade.Ĭobequid Pass toll booth. In papers filed with Elections Nova Scotia, the party says it has $393 in cash and $1,000 in liabilities, leaving a net deficit of $607. You can hear him spew a bunch of untruths here. The new party is called Nova Scotia United, and is led by a character named Leigh Baker. Meanwhile, anti-vaxxers have formed an official political party, the province’s sixth, joining the PCs, Liberals, NDP, Green, and Atlantica Party. Premier Tim Houston and Strang have scheduled a press briefing for 2pm today such briefings are no longer in-person, but I’ll be on the phone line and will follow along on my Twitter account. I don’t have anything useful to say about this.

Sure, the tax base will increase, but if we don’t raise taxes to help the most needy, what have we really gained?

Still, population by itself is not an indicator of economic health, especially if we aren’t talking about inequality and the allocation of wealth. And as climate refugees roam the planet, we have the obligation to take many of them in. Of course we should be open to newcomers of all stripes, and the diversity thing is real - we need new perspectives to help us grow as people. I ask our citizens, employers, communities, schools and workplaces to open their arms to new Nova Scotians and provide a warm welcome to all who choose our spectacular province as their home. We all benefit from this growth with a greater tax base, new businesses and jobs, greater diversity and culture and improved infrastructure. More people make us stronger in every way. After years of a declining population, the world is learning how special Nova Scotia is we have momentum and are growing. Reaching the one million mark is a significant moment in our province’s history.
To hear Premier Tim Houston tell it, that enough Ontarians have cashed out of their Toronto condos to buy up cheap (for them) Nova Scotian homes proves that this province is some sort of economic mecca: Some lucky consumer is Nova Scotia’s one millionth customer, and will presumably be given a gift basket of donairs and a three-minute shopping spree at East Coast Lifestyles.
