O’Leary should stick to debating fellow Conservatives: Nova Scotia’s premier
HALIFAX — Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil says Conservative leadership hopeful Kevin O’Leary should be focused on debating issues with his fellow Tories, rather than attacking him in an “open letter.”
McNeil was responding to the letter, posted Wednesday on O’Leary’s Facebook page, in which the reality TV star slammed the Liberal premier for the state of the province’s economy.
O’Leary said he spoke to many Nova Scotians about the poor economy when he was in Halifax last weekend for a debate.
He said the province is being strangled by high taxes and policies that discourage natural gas and oil exploration.
