Sloan MackenzieGuestAs I just mentioned, the tentative agreement reached in the long-term care strike here in Nova Scotia.
I know many of you are relieved to hear that on the weekend, and we now await the results of that first vote.
Uh, if that first vote goes, uh, according to plan, I think, then that gets spread out across the red of the... rest of the province.
The good news, I drove by a couple of areas where I've been noticing, uh, picket lines over the last, uh, eight weeks, [swallows] and, uh, they weren't there this morning.
That's normal procedure when these things happen, right? They don't release the, the contents of the tentative agreement till after a ratification vote.
Uh, hopefully, there's, uh, some movement there [swallows] and things get back to normal, uh, in our long-term care homes.
Louise Arbour will become the governor general, and, uh, we'll say goodbye to Mary Simon.

If you were watching, uh, news at all on the weekend, you saw that, uh, the, uh, the, uh, uh, back and forth between Israel and Iran heated up again on the weekend.
Donald Trump says he calls the shots, and he was gonna call Benjamin Netanyahu, tell him not to retaliate.
And of course, [tsks] uh, when there's violence in the Middle East, then, uh, that usually impacts gasoline prices.
