The next legislative session begins this week, and after spending the summer travelling across the province and speaking with folks in cities and towns big and small, we’re ready to take your concerns to the legislature and deliver real solutions for you and your family. That work started today.

This morning, Zach Churchill announced our plan to deliver free transit for Nova Scotians. From Halifax to Cape Breton, through the valley and across the province, we’re committing to make historic investments in public transit.

On top of eliminating fares, we’re also going to invest in community transportation to support more than 25 organizations in every county of this province AND we’re going to give transit authorities extra funds so they can expand transit systems and increase capacity.

We know that people are struggling with the rising cost of living, and this policy will put more money back in the pockets of commuters, seniors, and students. If you already buy a transit pass every month, this will save you over $1,000 a year. And, if you decide to make the switch from driving every day to taking transit, this could save you up to $5,000 a year in gas, maintenance, and parking fees.

Like our previous commitment to cut the HST, today’s commitment to eliminate fares across public transit, and more to come, we will keep presenting practical ideas to make life more affordable for you.

And together, let’s keep working to deliver a better deal for Nova Scotians.

This month, Tim Houston will celebrate three years since he was sworn in as Premier.

He made BIG promises to get elected. So, to mark this anniversary, we took a look at the progress he’s made… and one thing stands out: Tim Houston is all promise, no progress.

As he gets ready to celebrate three years since he was sworn in as Premier, we made a video to mark the occasion, take a look:

Tim Houston has shown us that he’s more interested in helping his friends than fighting for you. And we think all Nova Scotians should be taking a hard look at his record. 

So, before he tries to walk back the promises he made, help us spread the word. Please share this video with your friends and family.

And if you can, please consider making a donation so we can make sure everyone sees this video. Whatever the amount, your contribution will help ensure Nova Scotians across the province know the facts.

Richelle Brown-Redden has been nominated as the Liberal candidate for Kings North.

As a lifelong resident of the Annapolis Valley, Richelle brings a wealth of experience and dedication to Team Churchill. Using her education from Acadia University and NSCC Kingstec, Richelle went on to become the Senior Economic Development Officer with the Valley Regional Enterprise Network. Through this role, Richelle has championed economic and social well-being in the Annapolis Valley.

“Kings North is a beautiful riding with so much to offer. I’m excited to use my life experience to ensure everyone in our community has the opportunity to thrive,” said Brown-Redden. “Rural Nova Scotia is often overlooked by this government. With Zach Churchill at the helm, I know that our team can produce results for generations to come in rural communities across the province.”

Richelle is active in her community through volunteering at events, participating with groups such as the Valley Women’s Business Network, and has volunteered on the boards of Fusion Annapolis Valley, and the Hants County Regional Development Authority. She has also played a key role in the Strategic Tourism for Areas and Regions (STAR) project, the “Manufacture Your Future” career showcase, and the Annapolis Valley Continuous Improvement program. Inspired by her own parents’ entrepreneurial resilience, Richelle is passionate about promoting diverse business ownership.

“Richelle’s extensive background in economic development and her dedication to her community make her an outstanding candidate for Kings North,” said Liberal Leader Zach Churchill. “I’m confident that she will be a strong advocate for the people and will bring positive change to the region.”

Today’s update on the province’s public accounts is proof that the Houston government can – and should – cut the HST.

This government continues to rake in record highs in personal income tax and HST, and won’t use that money to offer tax relief to working families who are struggling with the rising cost of living.

“Our team hears from Nova Scotians every day, in every corner of the province, how tough it has become to afford the basic necessities,” said Opp Leader Zach Churchill. “The government is being irresponsible with the public purse – a Liberal government would be making investments in health and housing instead of PR campaigns, and making tax cuts to leave more money in people’s pockets.”

The government also shows no sign of stopping their practice of spending billions in additional appropriations every year that are not disclosed to the taxpayer, and not brought before the House of Assembly, which the Auditor General has repeatedly described as lacking any accountability or transparency.
