67% of Nova Scotians want more protected areas. This comes as Tim Houston breaks terms of the Nature Fund Agreement NS has with the Federal agreement, lays off conservation staff and starts talking about fracking and uranium mining.

I've started hearing lifelong conservatives muttering and shaking their head at the mention of his name.

It's incredibly sad that some people won't see what's going on until it affects them directly. I'm sure people have been yelling about more protected areas for decades, but conservatives just shake their head and call your names.

I know a family of very environmental Trump supporters and it's funny. When I point out the dangerous policies and the reversals he has had they just disappear, they don't engage.
