The MLA for Yarmouth sent the twitter world a buzz yesterday with a tweet from his account slamming the NDP government. Zach Churchill is the Liberal member in southwestern Nova Scotia. He tweeted that former NDP leader Jack Layton ‘would be disgusted with how the party is operating in Nova Scotia’. Further, his tweet went on to say ‘Premier Dexter makes Prime Minster Stephen Harper look like a saint’. Churchill sent the message on the social media site as the anniversary of Layton’s decision to step down as leader of the NDP approaches. Layton was forced to leave the party this time last year to focus on his battle with cancer, which he ultimately lost on August 22, 2011. Churchill was blitzed with reply messages from his followers who thought the tweet was inappropriate. We’d like to hear what what you think of the tweet – check our poll on the main page of our website.
