Nova Scotians tell Trudeau: 'Take your carbon tax and shove it!'
Support for the Nova Scotia Liberals fled to the decidedly anti-carbon tax Progressive Conservatives, under incumbent Premier Tim Houston.

Tonight, on The Gunn Show, the Nova Scotian Liberals suffer an embarrassing defeat, amid Trudeau's plummeting popularity in the province.
Liberal Party leader, Zach Churchill, led his party to an overwhelming defeat, electing only two MLAs — a stark departure from 17 MLAs in 2021.
Without question, Churchill's performance relegated the Liberals to mediocre third-party status, made worse by the fact he lost his Yarmouth seat to Progressive Conservative Nick Hilton.

Notably, the federal Liberals did not deploy help for Churchill, nor did he want it, given it would have poisoned what little campaign momentum remained. Churchill's support collapsed and went largely one place: the decidedly anti-carbon tax Progressive Conservatives, under incumbent Premier Tim Houston.
Trudeau suggests that fighting climate change is more important for struggling Canadians than paying rent or feeding their children.

The NDP, under leader Claudia Chender, picked up three seats from the last election to form the Official Opposition.
Meanwhile, Houston secured a supermajority with 43 of the province’s 55 ridings, courtesy of a growing anti-Trudeau wave.

David Heinze commented 2024-11-28 01:42:27 -0500On the GST, I have been sharing the following:
Exactly what will be covered for 2 months?
As of last Sunday (Nov. 23) Three weeks to sort this out & for businesses to implement.
Legislation/Regulations? Are they even written yet?
Sufficient Definitions? Specifically, exactly what will be taxed or not?
What about definition disputes? What if a customer disagrees with a retailer on what exactly is covered?
How do you fix errors after the fact? What if a retailer (involuntary unpaid tax collector) taxed something that shouldn’t be, or doesn’t tax when they should? This will be a 2 month nightmare for small retailers followed by 2 to 4 years of CRA auditing & nailing retailers for making mistakes. I guess, after wounding them with Covid shutdowns etc., now they see an opportunity to shot the wounded survivors. -
Bruce Atchison commented 2024-11-27 21:43:06 -0500Liberals just don’t get it. They sense discontentment among the “little people” so they assume it’s because we’re in a grumpy mood. The next election can’t come fast enough for me and I believe millions of others feel the same way.
