The Progressive Conservatives are putting up Faytene Grasseschi, an activist and Christian TV host, in the Hampton-Fundy-St. Martins riding.
The Liberals, meanwhile, have also nominated a conservative — at least a former one.
He didn’t mince words: “Ours and this version of the Conservatives, whose candidacy lives outside the fringes of this riding, and who represents an extreme fringe politics that goes beyond the moderate traditions of the province.” “It could be a sign that the party membership, or the eventual caucus, are shifting to a different place.”
“This riding they used to say … federally and provincially, you can put a blue coat on a dog, and he’d win. Very rarely do we not go blue,” he said, referring to the Conservatives. “But there’s a good possibility that we might not go blue this time.”
