KJIPUKTUK (Halifax) – This weekend’s video is a flashback to the large 2015 anti-austerity protests in Nova Scotia.
Last year’s provincial budget, with its changes to the film tax credits, was the catalyst for large rallies at Province House, by film workers, students, environmentalists, people living in poverty and many others hurt by the cost-cutting measures it contained.
The film contains interviews with 15 people affected in different ways by the budget.
Not much has changed since that time, unfortunately, and the five-minutes of fast-paced video is well worth a second viewing.
