Nova Scotia General @lemmy.ca nihilist_hippie @lemmy.ca New N.S. regulation allows retail cannabis sales on Mi'kmaw First Nations
The provincial government has introduced a new regulation to allow Miākmaw communities to open legal cannabis retail stores on reserve by agreement with the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC).
āWeāve spoken with Miākmaw leaders across the province, and they have raised concerns about the sale of illegal cannabis in their communities,ā Environment and Climate Change Minister Timothy Halman said in a news release on behalf of Finance and Treasury Board Minister John Lohr.
āThese changes will allow bands to open a legal store for those who wish to buy and use cannabis.ā
The new regulations will allow a band, or a band-owned corporation, to become an authorized seller within their community through an agreement with NSLC to set up a legal retail store.
Any cannabis stores in Miākmaw communities will sell cannabis purchased through the NSLC.
The NSLC is currently the only authorized cannabis seller in Nova Scotia.
There is an on-reserve NSLC location in Eskasoni that sells cannabis

Premier Tim Houston tries to defend his lack of consultation with Miākmaw Chiefs - Halifax ExaminerHoustonās suggestion that only he āknows the realities of this worldā and the effects of Trumpās tariffs, and that this is a valid excuse for not fulfilling a constitutional obligation to consult with the Miākmaq, is a remarkable admission that he feels he has the right to act on his own.

Nova Scotia General @lemmy.ca carbonprop @lemmy.ca What to do about neighbours with F*CK Trudeau flag
We have a new rental house across the road. The neighbours have decided to put up a no trespassing sign and an F*CK Trudeau flag. Our neighbourhood has always been a mix of different political backgrounds but everyone is lovely and respectful. Seems as though someone close by called the police about the flag. It wasnāt us although we have the same feelings about it. The flag is offensive but we decided to educate our child about why the display of signs like this are hateful rather than uplifting and supportive. Since the police showed up we heard them loudly exclaim āsomeone has too much time in their handsā. Iām guessing it was directed at us as we have a pride flag in our front window. Shortly after that the Trudeau flag showed up. How can one approach this? Weāre all for free speech. But why act like a trash human to get your opinion across?
Rant over.
