As Nova Scotians face another cold winter, New Democrats are calling on the Houston government to reverse his cruel cuts to HARP and make sure people can afford to heat their homes.

Nova Scotia NDP news release dated October 1, 2026, titled “Houston government leaving Nova Scotians in the cold.” The statement from Service Nova Scotia Critic Susan Leblanc says thousands of Nova Scotians have been excluded from the Heating Assistance Rebate Program, 64,000 people were denied the rebate last year after eligibility changes, and those who qualified received $200 less.

Second page of the Nova Scotia NDP news release. It says a third of the HARP budget went unspent, heating oil costs have risen 47% since last year, and families and seniors face difficult choices as costs rise. It calls on the Houston government to reverse cuts to HARP and help Nova Scotians afford to heat their homes.

We hear it every day: it's getting harder to afford rent. Most concerning? This government doesn’t seem understand that its refusal to act is harming people in our province.

A week ago the Legislature wrapped after just nine days working for Nova Scotians and before this government revealed a $1.4 billion deficit, record debt, and record debt servicing costs.

No one wants to live in a tent and no one wants to see people forced to live in an encampment. But this government took away unhoused Nova Scotians' legal right to the full income assistance rate — which could mean the difference between living in a tent or a home.

At the 11th hour, Tim Houston finally walked back his decision to cut the student transit pass program after backlash from thousands of parents and students.

Screenshot of a CBC News article featuring a Halifax Transit bus. The headline reads, “Halifax student transit pass program to continue this school year.” Subheading says eligible students in grades 7–12 will receive a free transit pass for the 2026–27 school year.

Four years ago, New Democrats elected Claudia Chender to lead our party. Since then, she's become the first women elected Leader of the Official Opposition in our province. And that’s not surprising. Everyone who knows Claudia as a leader, lawyer, and mom of three knows she gets things done.

Claudia Chender walks through a crowd of cheering Nova Scotia NDP members at a party event. Supporters line both sides of the room, applauding and holding orange and teal signs reading “Claudia” and “Leadership.” Chender, wearing a dark green suit and orange heels, smiles and places a hand on her chest as she greets attendees. The atmosphere is energetic and celebratory.
