2) In alphabetical order we have @RandyDelorey, the @nshealth minister whose tenure has coincided with what has been described as a health care crisis, topped off by 57 deaths in nursing homes overseen by his department. #Northwood

3) Then there is @LabiKousoulis, lately the @NSLAE minister in a notoriously anti-labour government, and the post-secondary education boss who did nothing as university tuition fees in Nova Scotia became the highest in the country.

4) Finally, there is @IainTRankin minister of @NSLandsForestry who wants to be seen as the environment candidate but will first have to deal w. a record that includes permitting tire burning for fuel, and constant criticism from environmentalists over clear cutting on crown land.

5) The success or failure of the @LiberalPartyNS effort to put a fresh face on a tired govt. will depend a lot on the opposition parties.

The best way to counter faux change is to present leadership and policies that represent real change – and now is the time to do it. @NSNDP
