Bringing you the latest happenings in Nova Scotia politics as we head into the 2021 provincial election.

[Nova Scotia Political News #NSPoliNews @nspolinews]

Long-time Liberal MLA Kelly Regan announces on Facebook she is not running again in the next provincial election.

First elected in 2009, Kelly Regan served as Deputy Premier of Nova Scotia under the Rankin Government in 2021. #nspoli

The Liberal leadership vote in July could mean women lead two of the 3 main parties in NS.

Although Team Churchill is saying they feel they're in a position to win decisively and are already looking past Simmonds to take on Houston. #nspoli #nsliberalldr

[Angela Simmonds @AngelaSimmonds_]

#ICYMI - This weekend marked a big step forward for representation of women in leadership roles in #nspoli

As of Saturday, @ChenderClaudia is officially unopposed in her run for the NSNDP Leadership! Congratulations, Claudia!

[Colchester North Liberal Association @CNorthLiberals]

Check out this message from @AngelaForNS and @zachchurchill about next week's Leadership Candidate Forum: #nspoli #cbpoli #cdnpoli

[Hon. Zach Churchill @zachchurchill]

Happy to have my amazing team cheering along during the debate! #ReadyToWin

[Lenore Zann @ZannLenore]

At the time of the horrendous tragedy that took place here in Colchester County 2 years ago, I was a brand new MP. I said then that a public alert should have gone out to warn my constituents an armed and dangerous killer was in the area. I still believe that. ⁦@nspolinews⁩

A thread that is worth a read. #nspoli

[Nova Scotia Political News #NSPoliNews @nspolinews]

Churchill: "When this party is divided, we lose." #nspoli #nsliberalldr

[Nova Scotia Political News #NSPoliNews @nspolinews]

The NS Liberal Leadership debate is live with Simmonds vs. Churchill. https://t.co/LYJICR50nW #nspoli

[Nova Scotia Political News #NSPoliNews @nspolinews]

Simmonds: "It's time we had a woman to run this province".

Also takes a subtle swipe at Churchill by saying she hasn't been working to become leader her whole professional life. #nspoli #nsliberalldr

[Nova Scotia Political News #NSPoliNews @nspolinews]

Both Churchill and Simmonds spoke at the Kings-Hants Liberal Association AGM earlier today. #nspoli #nsliberalldr

[Kody Blois @KodyBloisNS]

What a wonderful morning in Kentville for the Kings-Hants @liberal_party AGM. It was great to connect with supporters, speak to Budget 2022, and to hear from @LiberalPartyNS leadership candidates @zachchurchill and @Angela4Preston.

[Nova Scotia Political News #NSPoliNews @nspolinews]

The hours for the Legislature have been set until just shy of midnight. This is common at the end of a sitting.

The former Liberal and NDP governments would also do this to ensure key legislation passes prior to the break. https://t.co/r6ENJGIAmG #nspoli

[Nova Scotia Legislature @NSLeg]

The House is adjourned and will meet again tomorrow from 9 am – 11:59 pm. #nsleg #nspoli

[Nico Takushi @nicotakushi]

Another day at the office. 🦩

The team over at @TwitCoast #Halifax heavily promoting their Burger Week while running a stream of stories about COVID cases being on the rise.

[Nova Scotia Political News #NSPoliNews @nspolinews]

A big endorsement for Churchill. @DartmouthG supported Rankin in the last Liberal leadership contest. #nspoli #nsliberalldr

[michael gorman @MichaelTGorman]

Lab official fears new normal of health staff absences if COVID not controlled #NSpoli https://t.co/sM4FJQxnEJ

[Nova Scotia Political News #NSPoliNews @nspolinews]

Both Churchill's and Simmonds' campaigns are showing a big change from the last Liberal leadership: candidates are better able to get back out there across the province and meet members in large groups. #nspoli

[Hon. Zach Churchill @zachchurchill]

Enjoyed breakfast with some of our amazing Liberal team in Truro. It’s essential that our next leader listens to and represents all 55 ridings across our province.

[Nova Scotia Political News #NSPoliNews @nspolinews]

Halifax West MP and former NS cabinet Minister @LenaMetlegeDiab tabled a bill to declare November the national Lebanese Heritage Month.

Both Ontario and Nova Scotia already recognize November as Lebanese Heritage Month. #nspoli #cdnpoli

[In the Chamber @HoCChamber]

.@LenaMetlegeDiab introduced Bill #C268 in the #HoC.

The full text of the Bill will be available later today: https://t.co/w8Py9Zszoc

In this video Churchill speaks with Annapolis MLA Carmen Kerr who took over McNeil's seat after the last election.

Churchill focuses on how the Liberals lost most of their rural seats, saying that's where they need to rebuild- rather than the urban centre of Halifax. #nspoli

[Hon. Zach Churchill @zachchurchill]

Rural Nova Scotia is critical for a strong Nova Scotia and a strong Liberal Party. Working with MLA’s like Carman Kerr, rural Nova Scotia is going to be a key part as we rebuild, together.

Liberal Leader Iain Rankin out with @chronicleherald columnist Katy Jean for a couple of beer at what looks to be Pickford & Black on the Halifax waterfront. #nspoli

Blueberry burgers, blueberry beer, and @IainTRankin.
