The McNeil Liberals win Nova Scotia – big time!
My Sun News Network hosting duties complete, I can now celebrate Stephen’s huge, historic win – and take a trip down memory lane, when I spoke before the Nova Scotia Liberal AGM!
The Liberals have successfully made the comeback, its now onto bigger gains and considerable contests. We should all be more than accepting that the long drought that was the lean years for the party is over, with this win we can see that the Conservative ship is maybe not sunk, but it is firmly aground and shall not sail the high seas for some time. Congratulations are in order for the Liberal Team out in Nova Scotia.
I remember you at the NS liberal AGM. Bernie Hum and. I picked you up at the airport. Great job by Stephen MacNeil during the campaign. He has potential to be great premier. He has the character to do a great job. Justt has to bring the people with him. What year was that AGM anyway?
They must
Reinstate the Yarmouth-Bar Harbor Ferry
Guarantee and enhance the Digby-St.Johns Ferry
Improve SW/SE Nova road systems
Rationalize school funding (close, concentrate, and improve standards)
at a minimum
Cynical, fyi re NS school funding: Closing schools doesn’t save money in Nova Scotia or elsewhere. Busing kids for hours a day to big mega-schools doesn’t improve learning outcomes and it hurts psycho-social behaviour.

Ignatieff! Woo-hoo!
Warren,
As any good economist will tell you, it isn’t just QE3 that is getting the chop. Nova Scotia proved that last night.
Governments, stock up on tissues while you still can.
