Angus Reid Says New Democrats Poised To Win Nova Scotia Majority

46 per cent of respondents who voted for the Progressive Conservatives in 2006 saying they will not do so again this time around. These so-called PC ‘defectors’ tend to be older, better educated males and are sharply critical of Macdonald (87% disapprove of his performance as premier). [...]

When is Darrel Dexter going to try to become the leader of the federal Liberal Party?
I think every province should have a PR system where only one member of the legislative assembly is elected. It's all or nuthin'. Just for the sake of stability, we could have a 99-year term of office.

A majority would be sooo nice for the NS NDP. It'll give them a chance to make real change, without either conservative party stepping on the brakes.
