federal election call as Nova Scotia elected its new premier — a progressive conservative.The Nova Scotia election was originally called in the hopes of snagging a majority government for Iain Rankin’s Liberals.
But the voters handed him a very different result — one that had federal Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole cheering on Tuesday night.“A great night in NS!” he tweeted as the progressive conservative victory became apparent.“Congratulations to (Nova Scotia Progressive Conservatives) and the next Premier of Nova Scotia, (Tim Houston), on an exciting election win!”According to strategists, the election result is one the federal parties should be watching closely.
