Party Platform: Darrell Dexter

Darrell Dexter: Darrell Dexter has been careful not to show his hand on election timing, but the platform's release at a Halifax recreation centre filled with candidates and campaign workers suggests an election could be called as early as Saturday. That would likely mean voters will go to the polls on Oct. 8 in a 31-day campaign, according to CTV. "The last election was about change. The next election will be about the future," Dexter said and HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia's NDP premier sent the clearest signal yet that he's about to call an election by releasing a party platform Friday that partly focuses on cutting costs for families by promising to make things like car seats and strollers exempt from the province's harmonized sales tax. The party is basing its campaign on seven broad commitments that Dexter says would not cost the province more than $34.4 million annually. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
