Profile of Gillian Yorke in the Halifax Examiner
https://www.halifaxexaminer.ca/government/elections/first-time-ndp-candidate-profile-gillian-yorke/
Great article about Gillian Yorke in the Halifax Examiner. Nice to see this riding get attention from news outlets from the city, and to highlight that she's running a great campaign against a powerful incumbent.
First post, so apologies if it's not formatted correctly.

Gillian would be a great choice for Kings North. That's who I'm voting for!

Are you still paying for it? I thought they were done? Or did they just end local reporting?

u/Schooner- Nov 17 '24
They do still do some local reporting, but it's largely election related. Not sure what the status will be after the election.

They’re all about local reporting. I think you’re confusing them with saltwire…?

u/East_Importance7820 Nov 18 '24
Yup. Saltwire is what I meant. It appears my comment didn't post as a reply to the comment within the thread as I meant it to. Confusing and I can't navigate now to @ the person I meant to reply to. 🤦🏽♀️ At least not right now. And I'll likely forget by tomorrow.

I think you meant to reply to me, I still pay for saltwire, they are still in business and doing local reporting.

Between no online voting and no voter card, it's gonna such a low turnout. Hoping that means good things for yorke

Yeh it's a pay for site. They take a fair amount out from behind the paywall. Covid, items surrounding the Mass Casualties event (and hearings etc.), some other environmental related bits.
Honestly, I pay the low income/student rate and I feel I get more than what I pay for. With so much mainstream media and news sites cutting their journalists and reporters ...or going completely bankrupt, I think it's important to support the folks doing great work when I can. Plus, more often than not, they are the first to break things that sometimes the big corp media wouldn't touch because it could negatively impact shareholders.
I wish I could do more or pay a regular rate, but my income is mostly seasonal and crap.
