NS election day

Election Day is here.  Voting is open as of 8 this morning and goes until 8 tonight.  NDP Leader Gary Burrill will hold his final event tonight in Halifax, Tory Jamie Baillie will be in Springhill and Liberal Stephen McNeil will be in Bridgetown.

Scheer rallies the right

In his first caucus address since becoming leader, Conservative Andrew Scheer urged fellow MPs to look past the race and form a united front against the Liberals.  He referenced a former prime minister when depicting the Grits as out-of-touch elites, saying Tory John Diefenbaker was preoccupied with the interests of hardworking Canadians because he was one.
