Nova Scotia's three main political parties will make the case to voters between now and Nov. 26 for why they should form the next government. Each has its challenges to overcome. When Tim Houston stood in the Nova Scotia legislature in 2021 to speak in support of fixed election dates — the first piece of legislation he put forward after becoming premier — he said it was a way to create predictability for the public, prospective candidates and volunteers.
Cape Breton University political scientist Tom Urbaniak thinks that if the early election call turns out to be a problem for Houston, it would be in the context of keeping promises.spent more than a billion dollars a year outside of its own budgets. Houston has been unmoved, saying speed and action is what the system requires. In the last election he said things would take time to get better, but he was willing to spend whatever it takes to bring about change.
Liberal Leader Zach Churchill greets supports and fellow candidates at a rally in Halifax on Sunday evening. While it's his first campaign as party leader, Churchill has been an MLA since 2010. He'll be seeking some way this election to reintroduce himself to a public that might already think it knows what he's about.
The Tories never missed an opportunity to make that connection during the past few years. Earlier this month, Houston labelled Churchill a "Trudeau Liberal," while adding that he is not a "Poilievre Conservative." "The Liberal brand generally is hurting right now and so that does have a spillover effect to the provincial Liberals, and the PCs are going to try to amplify that as much as they can."
