| Description | NEW GLASGOW, N.S. -- Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay, Nova Scotia's embattled representative in the cabinet, has kept a low profile since the province's Conservative premier and one of its Tory MPs started denouncing the federal budget as an abject betrayal.
But in his riding of Central Nova, local residents had plenty to say Tuesday about their MP and his chances for re-election.
"I voted for Peter MacKay, but I would have a hard time voting for him anymore,'' said Linda MacDonald of Westville as she sat in a local coffee shop.
"I have watched him on many issues turn about face.... That's a real issue with me right now.''
Her friend, George MacDonald, said he was impressed by the stand taken by maverick MP Bill Casey, who was thrown out of the Conservative caucus last week for voting against a budget implementation bill. |
