Baillie Troubled By Local Candidate Harris' Remarks

The leader of the Nova Scotia PC party is calling on the Liberal candidate in Chester-St. Margaret's to apologize following remarks at a forum in Sir John A MacDonald High School in Upper Tantallon. Tim Harris told another media outlet that candidate participation was "a lot of effort for only three votes", after three students raised there hands that were eligible to vote. Jamie Baillie says he's disappointed in the comments and feels they will discourage young people from the political process. He says the Harris' comments are troubling.



A call to Harris wasn't returned. Baillie also wants Liberal Leader Stephen McNeil to address the comments and provide an apology as well.
