Excited to return to private lifeJamie Baillie stood with PC MLAs as he said he was stepping down as party leader. "Over the last seven years we've faced very strong head winds because of a lot of reasons, from federal Conservative branding that we wore as a provincial party, to the rise of Trudeaumania, which we faced as a provincial party. I just said the solutions to our problems lie in the hearts and minds of Nova Scotians; they need to engage. — @JoanneDNLIBMany thx 2 NS PC leader @JamieBaillie who announced he is stepping down.
