HALIFAX—The Nova Scotia NDP is looking to take back the federal riding of Halifax in the upcoming election, declaring anti-poverty advocate Christine Saulnier as its candidate in a nomination meeting on Sunday. “I’m so proud to accept the nomination to be the federal NDP candidate for Halifax. Christine Saulnier, the Nova Scotia director of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, speaks on Sunday fter winning the NDP nomination to become a federal candidate vying for the Halifax seat in the upcoming federal election. She’ll be up against incumbent Liberal MP Andy Fillmore, and the Conservativecandidate — Bruce Holland, Spryfield Business Commission executive director. Without addressing injustice, there is no peace in our world.” No one else put forward their name for the NDP nomination.
