    If he’s a facist he’s keeping it under wraps. I live here (too?) and he strikes me more as a fiscal conservative. He for-sure doesn’t respect minimum wage workers but he doesn’t scapegoat or “other” any group like you’d expect to see of a far-right Conservative. I just think he’s the type who wants to funnel public money to his white-collar business buddies through contracts and tax breaks.

      He keeps people in poverty willingly and doesn’t fight for them as their head representative or even talk about improving their station in life. He tells them to “pull up their bootstraps” while not supplying the help they need to do just that. He openly tries to rewrite and defy laws written to control his governments overreach. He makes sure his rich buddies can build their excessive homes by denying coastal protection.

      If he was fiscally conservative our province would be doing much better than it is. Some of the highest personal taxes in the country and lowest wages however. Some of the highest rates of elder poverty and child poverty in the country. A healthcare system that has been in a shambles since the 1990s and he is in his second term of not fixing anything but ensuring his buddies get good hospital and parking garage build contracts as well as fancy homes on the ocean in environmentally sensitive areas, where they block access to all Nova Scotians who by law have legal access to all shoreline.

      I could go on and on and on. He has charisma though. People like him for unknown reasons that is for sure.
