Fishing industry and housing costs fire up Halifax voters
Description
Matt Galloway travels to Halifax to hear what’s on voters’ minds, in the final stop of The Current’s election road show Crossroads: Coast to Coast with Canadian Voters.
First up, the sea is both a livelihood and a way of life in Nova Scotia, flowing into how many people will vote. Galloway talks to a fisherman fed up with how his industry is being treated by the federal government, a restaurant owner serving up haddock with a side of national pride and a seaweed exporter worried about U.S. President Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs.
Then, housing costs have soared in Halifax since the pandemic, leaving people like Michelle McClung feeling squeezed. Her adult children can’t afford to move out, including one son living in a campervan out front. She wants less talk of Trump, and more work to solve the housing crisis and bring down the cost of living.
