🚨 White Nationalist Demonstration Reported in Bedford

Halifax Regional Police responded after a small group linked to the white nationalist organization known as "Second Sons" staged a brief demonstration in Bedford South over the weekend.

Police say the gathering was short lived and no arrests were made. The group has been described by the Canadian Anti Hate Network as a members only organization for white men that draws inspiration from militant white nationalist movements.

Bedford South MLA Damian Stoilov condemned the demonstration, stating that hatred and racism have no place in a community known for its diversity and inclusion.

The incident has sparked renewed discussion about the visibility of extremist groups in Canada and the challenge of balancing free expression with community concerns about hate and intimidation.

What do you think communities should do when groups promoting racist or extremist ideologies hold public demonstrations?

Gary has thoughts.

Actually, Gary has exactly one thought:

Mind your business.

Gary doesn't care who you love, how you identify, or who you're holding hands with. Gary has enough going on trying to figure out why the food bowl is only 97% full.

A little more kindness. A little less judging. Gary thinks that's a pretty good plan.

Happy Pride Month. 🏳️‍🌈🐾

A heartbreaking story out of Atlantic Canada.

Clinton Ellison, a survivor of the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting, has died at the age of 52.

During the tragedy in Portapique, Ellison's brother, Corrie, was killed. Clinton later found his brother's body and spent hours hiding in the woods as the violence unfolded around him. Family members say the trauma of that night never left him.

His loved ones describe a man who struggled with severe PTSD in the years that followed, saying he was profoundly changed by what he experienced.

The 2020 mass shooting claimed 22 lives and left lasting scars on survivors, families, first responders and communities across Nova Scotia. For many, the effects of that tragedy continue long after the headlines faded.

Our thoughts are with the Ellison family and everyone still carrying the weight of that terrible weekend.
