Tonight I considered it a tremendous privilege to be able to vote for Gary Burrill to lead the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party. His intellect, compassion and insight have always been clear to me and I can’t imagine anyone better suited to leading our party and our province as we work to reshape both into the kinds of communities that foster engagement, equality and vitality.
If you are a party member, I hope you’ll consider Gary’s strengths when choosing who to support to lead the NDP. I believe we need his experience and principles to build a province rooted in social, economic, and environmental justice.
