Party leaders to square off in debate

The three main party leaders will square off in a debate on Wednesday night.

It’s the first time Liberal leader Iain Rankin, PC leader Tim Houston, and NDP leader Gary Burrill will meet face-to-face since the provincial election campaign kicked off.

Some of the issues they’ll likely discuss over the 90 minutes include healthcare, the economy, affordable housing, and long-term care. These issues have been priorities along the campaign trail.

All parties have until 2 p.m. to finalize their slate of candidates under the deadline set by Elections Nova Scotia.

The debate airs on CBC at 6 p.m.

Meantime, the Green Party released its provincial platform last night.
