"Nova Scotians deserve better": You're right Dex, they sure do.
Although Nova Scotia hasn't ever had an NDP premier, the New Democrats are currently leading in the NS polls. That'll kind of blow your mind after watching a clip like that. For some reason, people like to hear what they want to hear, and then not actually check to see if their politician ever followed through with his promises. Generally, the party that tells it like it is (aka: presents honest answers and solutions to real problems) isn't as popular as the one that says whatever sounds pretty and fluffy and sugar-coated. (mmm...that does sound delicious...)
Living in Halifax, I sometimes find it hard to believe that there is a Progressive Conservative government in power, based on the general hippie dipster attitude. Then I'm sent videos like this one. Keeping in mind that the Liberals don't have much of a chance right now, the Conservatives have a fair shot. I mean, we certainly don't want lying maniacs like Darrel Dexter and the NDP in power. Because, like he said, we deserve better. :)

You're right about people hearing only what they want to hear.
I once had a relation (by marriage) who supported the NDP. When I asked her why, she responded that "they give us more". When I pointed out that the things that were 'given' to her were paid for by the same taxes that she complained about, she responded that I was wrong. According to her the social programs were paid for by the political parties! Typical NDP supporter.
