The province’s Opposition parties are calling for changes to spending practices that allow the governing party to approve extra spending without oversight from the legislature. Nova Scotia’s public accounts — released last week — showed that for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 2024 the province generated 422.5-million dollars more in revenue compared to what was originally estimated in the budget. Nova Scotia ended the year with a surplus of 143.6-million dollars, when government had predicted the year would end in a deficit of 278.9-million dollars. N-D-P finance critic Lisa Lachance says the government should consult more widely instead of adding to a “laundry list” of appropriations that aren’t reviewed by the legislature.

Bev Priestman, the embattled head coach of Canada women’s soccer team is apologizing to her players for the drone-spying scandal at the Paris Olympics. She says she is “absolutely heartbroken” for the athletes who have been penalized for the affair, which saw the team docked six points at the games’ outset. That puts them in the hole, as each win in the group stage is worth three points. Priestman says as the team’s leader, she is accepting accountability and pledges to fully cooperate with the investigation. On Sunday, Canada beat France 2-1 — keeping the squad’s Olympic hopes alive.
