Nova Scotians United (NSU) is a political party in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada.
Nova Scotians United started as an anti-protocol group that protested against COVID-19 restrictions.[2]
The party registered with Elections Nova Scotia on December 16, 2021.[3]
During the Canada convoy protest in February 2022, the party was involved with protests in Halifax where party leader Leigh Baker spoke at a rally.[4]
Bobby Taylor was nominated in the 2023 Preston provincial by-election, which served as the first political test for the party.[5] He only managed to muster 95 votes in the by-election, or 2.20%.
The party focuses on reducing taxes, allowing private healthcare, choice in education, and opposition to COVID-19 protocols.[6]
The party has the following statement on the platform page of their website:[7]
We are building a selfless movement that thinks only about the heart of our province which is the people who live here and our land, Mi'kma'ki. We believe many of the major issues we face in healthcare, housing, education, human trafficking, etc. are because of unending complacency and corruption.
