If things ain't transparent then someone in power is stealing money or granting favours. We need the people to see this. How can a nation get it's government to work for the people again?

Nova Scotia isn't a nation.

Good thing this is only a problem in Nova Scotia and not the rest of Canada!

This is an article about Nova Scotia, and the Premier of Nova Scotia, not an article about "the rest of Canada".

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'll refer you to my previous comment.

[–] Arkouda@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I will refer you to my previous two comments, and add that it would be better for everyone to stay on point and discuss the topic at hand.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Looks like it's will have to spell it out, then. This is a specific issue happening to Canadians who live in Nova Scotia, but it isn't a unique problem to Nova Scotians and if you focus simply on this one instance you will probably not be able to identify the underlying cause, which is affecting all Canadians. And while the problem at hand may be under provincial purview, it is a problem that is happening at the provincial level across the country. I'm sure we can find elected officials at all levels of government who have been strident against some position while they weren't in charge and suddenly don't want to change things as soon as they're in charge.

Your whole comment chain comes across with the same tone as saying we can't talk about the systemic problems in healthcare at a national level because they're a provincial matter and the strikingly similar problems from province to province are completely unrelated. 🙄

I am glad it came off that way because that is exactly what I was saying. Thanks for listening and understanding me so well.

Can we stay on topic now?

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't know. I don't live in Nova Scotia, and I gather politicians lying is a local problem.

[–] Arkouda@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Try reading the article, form an opinion on the contents, and then get back to me.

Take care.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Nah, still trying to see how a problem with a leader of a province doesn't affect Canadians.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Just extrapolatin' man.

[–] twopi@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lol

Politician breaks promise to be transparent.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

tbf, they're transparent wrt broken promises.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

To be totally clear, our government won't be transparent with you.
