Nova Scotia party leaders make push in provincial campaign’s final hours
HALIFAX — Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil covered hundreds of kilometres Monday in his final push to win back-to-back majorities, as the other major party leaders again fixated on health care in a bid to oust him Tuesday.
Tory Leader Jamie Baillie spent much of Monday in the Halifax suburbs, and told a health care rally in Dartmouth that the province is facing a health care crisis that needs an urgent response.
Baillie — surrounded by a few dozen supporters clad in Tory baseball caps and T-shirts — said Liberal neglect has left about 100,000 people without a family doctor, and services for mental health need to improve.
“He says there is no crisis. He is wrong. We know there is a crisis,” said Baillie, who will be in Springhill when the polls close on Tuesday evening.
