New evening daily in Nova Scotia

[Flash]

Kids, kids, kids! The new evening daily in Nova Scotia, remember? Do you find it strange it would go evenings? We switched from a PM to an AM in April on the theory that evening news was old as it landed on the step. Any thoughts?

Didn't New Glasgow go to morning a few years ago, too?

Huntsie, the linked story said they decided to go in the evenings after being told by the majority of their rural target audience that they would prefer that. They don't have time to read the paper in the mornings.

People in rural Nova Scotia can read?

I thought the Canadian Maritimes was the most liberal part of Canada.

As for my knowledge of Nova Scotia, all of it comes from Hurricane Juan coverage and For Better or For Worse when the eldest kid and Weed went there to do a story on some family.

The Maritimes have always leaned towards the Liberals because it's always been a high unemployment part of the country and a lot of people (particularly seasonal workers like fishermen) depended on Ottawa for social services i.e. money.

I just got back from Nova Scotia and I'd move there in a heartbeat--if there were any jobs.

So more like inner-city D.C. liberalism than Massachusetts or Minnesota liberalism?

No, like big L Liberals. Although it has gone Conservative in a flood at times, too. Bill Gillis was the Liberal MP in my riding for the longest time. Then Peter McKay came along and everything turned blue.

I seem to have taken the wrong exit off the expressway to halifax and landed in Grudgeland.
Help.

It is a much easier drive now that most of the TCH through Nouvelle Ecosse is twinned.
