Our government parody mission

Our Government Parody Mission
At the Nova Scotia Bureau of Absurd Nova Scotia (NS BANS), our mission is simple: do less, spend less, and make sure no one mistakes us for a serious government. We are committed to balanced budgets—not because we’re good at math, but because there’s nothing left to balance once you cut everything fun.

We pledge to:

• Protect citizens from dangerous new ideas like bike lanes, roundabouts, and efficiency.
• Ensure every public service costs exactly one nickel more than we can afford, so we have an excuse to cancel it.
• Keep Nova Scotians safe from runaway progress by enforcing sensible limits, like “two potholes per street” and “no more than one functioning ferry at a time.”
• Champion fiscal responsibility, mostly by not doing anything that costs money.

We are here to parody governance, to highlight absurdity, and—most importantly—to remind you that if government sounds ridiculous, it probably is.
