The following is a statement from Chris Palmer, MLA for Kings West, on Liberal Leader Zach Churchill’s announcement today on “free” transit:
“Mr. Churchill had eight years to improve the lives of Nova Scotians. Instead, he was part of a Liberal government that created a healthcare crisis, didn’t build a single new housing unit, and ignored seniors and long term care.
Mr. Churchill is desperate to say anything to turn his political fortunes around. Nova Scotians see through his stunts and know that only Tim Houston and the PCs are focused on building up Nova Scotia and fixing what Mr. Churchill and the Liberals broke.
If Mr. Churchill is serious about addressing the cost of living, he will join the PCs in calling on Justin Trudeau’s Liberals to scrap the carbon tax.”
