Thousands of ballots have been cast in advance of Nova Scotia’s election day, but party leaders won’t rest until the final polls are closed. Liberal leader Stephen McNeil was on the stump this weekend promising to improve access to affordable housing if his party is re-elected on May 30th. Progressive Conservative leader Jamie Baillie pledged to make Nova Scotia’s streets safer by restoring the Liberal government’s cuts to a police program. And N-D-P leader Gary Burrill proposed an environmental plan that would give citizens the power to weigh in on policies affecting Nova Scotia’s natural landscape.
