Description - A Halifax school is removing the name of Canada's first Prime Minister in the spirit of reconciliation. Some critics are calling this cancel culture, claiming if we don't learn from history, we're doomed to repeat it. I say, they are only partially correct.

There's a perception that police are investigating police when matters are referred to the Serious Incident Response Team. Nova Scotia put a retired judge in charge of the team but still relies on seconded officers to carry out investigations. Would following BC's model alter the perception?

Twice yesterday I heard comments in the media defending the actions of police officers saying they were just doing what they were trained to do. One was in a statement from the union representing Halifax Police officers and the other was the lawyer defending the former police officer accused of killing George Floyd.

Halifax Police Chief Dan Kinsella has put an officer on administrative duties after an incident captured on cellphone became public over the weekend. How does this square with the apologies, marches and the public stand by HRP on the Black Lives Matter movement?

It turns out the leak of budget information was exactly what the government wanted us to know. But there is still a mystery about the fees on the province's only toll highway and when, if ever, they'll be removed.

Are you on the edge of your seat waiting for the latest details from the Nova Scotia budget? Me neither, but I am part of the budget lockup. And a person "with knowledge of the document" already leaked everything the government wanted us to hear.

Nova Scotia's government held two contradictory positions on the environment this week. Iain Rankin held firm on the cleanup of Boat Harbour but backed off on the Biodiversity Act. Don't we deserve to know why?

We're at the bottom of the list when it comes to getting our population with at least one shot of the COVID-19 vaccination. But it's not the only story I wanted to talk about, given the latest from Northern Pulp and the cleanup of Boat Harbour.

According to Dr. Strang "all of our emergency first responders who have the potential to be first on scene for a medical event, whether they're police, fire, paramedics, are going to be treated the same in terms of their access to vaccination." I say there are 7-thousand people who aren't being given the same access.

An internal medicine resident in Halifax had an uncomfortable interaction with a patient recently. He refused treatment from her saying he wanted a white doctor. Her reaction speaks volumes about the culture in health care.
