We don’t need no stinkin’ nomination
Campaign signs for Kerry Morash are going up all across the riding of Queens in southern Nova Scotia. The problem is that the signs say Mr Morash is the candidate of the Progressive Conservative Party—and that’s not true. The PCs haven’t nominated anyone yet.
The signs ask people to elect Mr. Morash and say in small red lettering across the bottom that Robert Stafford is his official agent.
Elections Nova Scotia said Mr. Morash is not the official candidate yet and that means he has no official agent, but what he has done does not violate the Elections Act.
Morash says he’s the only one running for the nomination and, anyway, the party’s website already shows him as their guy.
The nomination meeting will finally take place on Monday and, indeed, it looks like Morash is a shoo-in: The meeting will convene at his campaign headquarters.
