There will probably be a provincial election sometime in 2013. I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread in this section (Business, Politics & the Economy).
There was a story in the Globe and Mail yesterday that I thought was interesting:

This week’s quarterly poll by Angus-Reid on the approval ratings of Canada’s provincial premiers contained bad numbers for Christy Clark and Darrell Dexter, the two premiers next scheduled to face the electorate. Compared to the ratings their colleagues in other provinces had just prior to an election, and their subsequent fate, the news looks even worse for them.

I have mixed feeling about the provincial NDP. They have tried to keep the provincial deficit down, which is a plus, however the Nova Scotia economy has not done well under the Dexter government. Job growth has been dismal and the Nova Scotia population declined in 2012 (source:
