A Liberal government under
@zachchurchill
would cut the HST from 15% to 13% — the lowest sales tax in Atlantic Canada. Unlike the NDP who have raised taxes & Tim Houston who has shown he isn’t willing to provide broad relief, our party cares about creating a NS you can afford.

Tim Houston fired a qualified doctor and replaced them with a friend to lead Nova Scotia's healthcare system.
The outcomes of that decision are clear: the doctor waitlist has skyrocketed and ERs are over capacity.

Tim Houston believes he's made "incredible progress" on his promise to "fix" healthcare.
But the reality is that since being elected nearly a year ago, healthcare has gotten worse by every measure.

The doctor waitlist hit a new record this month with nearly 111,000 Nova Scotians without care.
Tim Houston describes the progress he's made on healthcare as "remarkable" but when many Nova Scotians can't get the care they need, it's not remarkable – it's remarkably bad.
