Maurina Beadle grew up in Pictou Landing First Nation. She has been an opponent of the pollution of Boat Harbour by the pulp mill across Pictou Harbour, and now, in a new battle, she is taking the government of Canada to court over the disparity between health care services available to her son Jeremy, and those available to Nova Scotian children off-reserve.

Jeremy Beadle Meawasige, a First Nations child with complex disabilities, loves music and his evening drives around Pictou County, Nova Scotia. He has been cared for by his mother his whole life. Since her stroke, which left her physically unable to look after her son, neither the provincial nor the federal government will agree to fund Jeremy's care at home.

Sixty people gathered in Halifax to declare solidarity with Libyans. "I have never felt proud to be Libyan until now; people in Libya have sacrificed their flesh" for freedom, said Mohamed Alzrighe from Halifax, addressing the crowd. "The least we can do is spread the word."
