Premier Dexter calls by-elections in Yarmouth and Glace Bay for June 22nd.

Premier Dexter calls by-elections in Yarmouth and Glace Bay for June 22nd.

This morning the Premier called by-elections in Yarmouth and Glace Bay to fill the vacancies left by the resignation of PC Richard Hurlburt and Liberal Dave Wilson, who both resigned in the wake of the MLA expense scandal exposed by the Auditor General.

Yarmouth in particular presents the Green Party of Nova Scotia with an opportunity to advance our policies in a region that has been badly burned by all three major parties. Distrust is the word of the day in Yarmouth when speaking of traditional political choices. As Greens, we have an opportunity to build local public trust and increase our recognition and vote count.

The candidate for Yarmouth will be the Leader of the Green Party of Nova Scotia, John Percy.

I strongly urge ALL Nova Scotia Greens to financially support and volunteer time and ideas to the campaign. Hit the donate button on the front page of the GPNS website. Hit it often!
