Antigonish Progressive Conservative candidate Michelle Thompson said the previous PC government ran in the last election with a focus on health care, adding with her background as a registered nurse with over 30 years of experience, she has never seen this amount of investment or innovation and change for the better in health care.

When asked about specific goals for Antigonish should the PC’s make government again, Thompson said the party is committed to putting more money in the pockets of Nova Scotians, pointing to a proposed one-per cent reduction in the HST. She said there needs to be investment in infrastructure, particularly infrastructure supporting growth in communities and safe transportation.
