Throughout the Nova Scotia election, the Progressive Conservatives have tried to capitalize on the unpopularity of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and dissatisfaction with the federal Liberal Party.
PC Leader Tim Houston has repeatedly accused the leader of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party, Zach Churchill, of being “beholden” to Trudeau and the federal party.
One region where that tactic could bear fruit for the PCs is southwestern Nova Scotia, where there’s growing concerns and anger about what many people say is an illegal, out-of-season lobster fishery taking place with little response from Ottawa.
