By contrast, the Liberals led by Susan Holt have made 100 campaign promises — many of which focus on health care and housing.

 

 

The R-C-M-P have issued a provincewide arrest warrant for a man wanted for possession of a dangerous weapon, uttering threats and breaking and entering.  Police say 30-year-old Justin Ray Rushton from Glenholme is also facing charges of auto theft and mischief following an incident Thursday night reported in Great Village.  The Mounties in Colchester County say Rushton may be travelling in a white, Ford F-350 pickup with a Nova Scotia plate.  Rushton is described as 5-foot-11, 180 pounds and he has blond hair, blue eyes and a neck tattoo.

 

 

On Sunday, members of New Glasgow Regional Police attended the 42nd annual Nova Scotia Fallen Peace Officers’ Memorial at Grand Parade, Halifax. The memorial is a deeply significant occasion to remember and pay tribute to the brave peace officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Their dedication and selflessness are a powerful reminder of the dangers law enforcement officers face every day to protect our communities.
