Yesterday, Nova Scotia Liberal Leader Zach Churchill sent a letter to Nova Scotia Lt.-Gov Arthur J LeBlanc regarding a potential snap election call from Premier Tim Houston.

Should an election be called soon, it would come almost 9 months prior to the fixed election date legislated by the PC government. Churchhill said if Houston does call an election early, he should have a sufficient reason.
When asked if the Liberals are ready for a provincial election should the writ be dropped, Churchill said his party began preparing over the summer, adding he hasn’t heard from any Nova Scotians who think there needs to be an election right now.
