[edit] Regional Profile

The Liberals swept Nova Scotia in 1993, but managed to lose every single seat in 1997. Under former leader Alexa McDonough, the NDP made major gains there in 1997; picking up seats in the Halifax and Cape Breton areas. The Liberals, wiped out in 1997, made a resurgence in 2000. The Conservatives' strengths are concentrated in rural mainland Nova Scotia. However, those strengths have shown sign of weakening in recent years.

[edit] 2004 - 38th General Election

With Toronto's Jack Layton replacing Alexa McDonough as leader, the NDP saw its hold on the Halifax Region slip somewhat, losing Dartmouth. The Liberals, after having gained MP Scott Brison from the Progressive Conservatives in 2003, held Kings-Hants. A hoped-for breakthrough for the Conservatives remained elusive. edit
