Nova Scotia NDP Leader Claudia Chender doesn’t make a habit of getting kicked out of the legislature — it’s happened once in her seven-year political career.
But last fall, when a Progressive Conservative minister said children across the province had access to free, healthy food in schools, Chender — knowing that statement wasn’t true — couldn’t help but blurt out, “that’s a lie.”
Chender’s exclamation — “that’s a lie” — came out of frustration, she said. “I really thought I was just saying that to myself.”Trudeau not satisfied with G20 leaders’ statement on Ukraine Born and raised in Halifax, Chender graduated with a bachelor of arts from Dalhousie University in 1999. She earned a law degree from the University of Victoria in 2004, and has worked as a legal educator with the Nova Scotia Barrister’s Society, as an associate publisher for a non-profit media company, and as a consultant in organizational design and development.
The Nova Scotia NDP started the campaign with a full slate of 55 candidates, but lost one along the way, announcing earlier this month that Tammy Jakeman was no longer running in Eastern Passage, after the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs alleged she had made “hurtful” social media posts.
