Is it possible that a repeat of Francis MacKenzie's loss to Tory Len Goucher could take place in the 2009 Nova Scotia election? Well, no. It couldn't happen. The former leader of the Liberal Party went and buried himself in the sand after his loss in Bedford three years ago and hasn't come up for air yet. But, keeping with the context, is Liberal leader Stephen McNeil in any danger in Annapolis? Could Premier Rodney MacDonald's opponents put up a fight in Inverness? Does the NDP incumbent in...

PH1819 has already gone on record as saying the NDP majority come Tuesday night will be a very strong majority, indeed. With 32 seats predicted for Darrell Dexter's New Democrats, the Liberals and PCs will split the other 20 almost evenly (11 Grit, 9 Tory). However, the story of an election campaign runs far deeper than the seat total at the end. Read on for PH1819's predictions as they relate to a few theories that have been popping up over the last few days. ----- NDP Sweep Of Metro... Read Full Story
Eleven years ago, Darrell Dexter ran in his first provincial election campaign. This Navy/lawyer/journalist man didn't take Dartmouth-Cole Harbour by storm; but he garnered enough votes to win. Dexter won again in 1999 and then as leader in 2003 and 2006. 2009 marks his fifth provincial election; his third as leader of the New Democratic Party, and the first ever election win for his party. Ten years ago, Rodney MacDonald campaigned for a seat in Inverness; his first try at provincial... Read Full Story
Saturday night, the Pittsburgh Penguins lost to the Detroit Red Wings; scoring not once but allowing five. Last night, just one minute after Cole Harbour MLA and Premier-designate Darrell Dexter finished his speech, Cole Harbour's own Sidney Crosby led the Penguins onto the ice in a must-win game. Pittsburgh won 2-1. Guess what? It doesn't matter how great the margin of victory was, by five goals or one. Each team's scorecard shows 3 Ws. Frank Corbett, the NDP incumbent in Cape Breton Centre... Read Full Story
Under Darrell Dexter's centre-left-centre ethos, the New Democratic Party of Nova Scotia aimed for the moon and landed thereon with a soft impact. Reeeeesult . Before Premier-designate Dexter came along, the NDP treated itself well with Robert Chisolm. Chiz, now a member of Dexter's transition team, was a combative character. In the '98 election, his first election as leader, Chiz tied the Liberals for the election victory. Unfortunately for the NDP, the Liberals consorted with the... Read Full Story

SYDNEY (Reuters) - A Dutchman and his grandson boarded a flight to Sydney, looking forward to visiting sunny Australia, but ended up in a much chillier Sydney -- in Nova Scotia, Canada. Joannes Rutten, 71, and his 15-year-old grandson Nick booked the trip through a Dutch travel agency with plans to visit family living in Wollongong and Tallong, south of Sydney, according to local newspaper the Illawarra Mercury. They set out from Amsterdam's Schiphol airport with Air Canada on Saturday but... Read Full Story
Let it first be very clear that, if you haven't already noticed, Province House is a very non-partisan place to hang out. And by Province House, I don't mean the beautiful building on Hollis Street. No, this very place you read at this moment does not favour one party over another. Province House 1819 was created as a place to provide information on what took place inside the House during Question Period; the sort of stuff conventional media doesn't bother with and LegTV doesn't capture...
