The Nova Scotia government has extended the seasonal ferry service between Yarmouth and Bar Harbor, Maine, into the 2026 season, citing the tourism benefits the $21-million service brings to the province.

Dozens of emails expressing outrage, disgust and disappointment poured into the inboxes of Nova Scotia’s premier and justice minister after Brad Johns said he didn’t consider domestic violence an epidemic, and he now says that reaction influenced his resignation from cabinet. 

Officials say it's too soon to tell whether tropical storm Franklin will impact Nova Scotia, but they're urging residents to prepare for hurricane season in the wake of other chaotic weather events that have devastated parts of the province this year. 

An officer who shot and killed a man in Dartmouth last summer acted appropriately by shooting a man pointing a shotgun, Nova Scotia’s Serious Incident Response Team has decided after a year-long investigation.

Four crucial pages of a senior Mountie's notes were missing the first time the federal Department of Justice sent them to the public inquiry looking into the Nova Scotia mass shooting. The key section included allegations the head of the RCMP promised politicians the force would release information about guns used during the April 2020 rampage.

The RCMP intentionally held back key details — including the number of victims — and evaded questions officers knew the answers to in the early days following the mass shooting in April 2020, a public inquiry into the tragedy has found.

An RCMP officer who previously pulled over the gunman and was critical of his supervisor’s role in the response to the mass shooting, testified he didn’t agree with the decision to only send one team into the section of Portapique and said he should have been deployed differently.
