Nova Scotia election roundup
HALIFAX — (NSElxn)
Nova Scotia’s Tories and governing Liberals are trading accusations over their treatment of female candidates.
Premier Stephen McNeil has praised his government’s record of appointing women to cabinet, saying the other parties tend to have female candidates contest ridings they’re unlikely to win.
But Progressive Conservative Leader Jamie Baillie stood with 12 female candidates Tuesday and demanded an apology, saying this isn’t true.
