	Nova Scotia New Democratic Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Nova Scotia New Democratic Party is a social democratic party in Nova Scotia, Canada.
		After decades in the wilderness the Nova Scotia NDP was revitalized by a competition between its Cape Breton Island and Halifax bases in the late 1960's.
		While she was the only NDP member of the legislature elected in 1981, and had at most a caucus of three Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), she raised the party's profile and become a well known advocate for the poor and disadvantaged.

	Encyclopedia: New Democratic Party
		The NDP is noted for its populist, agrarian and democratic socialist roots, its close affiliation with organized labour, and, while the party is secular and pluralistic, it has a longstanding relationship with the Christian left and the Social Gospel movement, particularly the United Church of Canada.
		The influence of organized labour on the party is still reflected in the party's leadership elections as labour votes are scaled to 25% of the total number of ballots cast.
		However the party does not allow her to be part of the parliamentary caucus, as the NDP favours the abolition of the Senate.

		While many American "liberals" would be "social democrats" in European terms, very few of them openly embrace the term "left"; in the United States, the term is mainly embraced by New Left activists, certain portions of the labor movement, and people who see their intellectual or political heritage as descending from 19th-century socialist movements.
		The "New Left" has had varying degrees of unity since its rise in the 1960s, and can be seen as a coalition of numerous distinct movements, including (but not limited to) feminists, greens, some labor unions, some atheists, some gay rights activists, and some minority ethnic and racially oriented civil rights groups.
		For example, the Democratic Leadership Council (in which Bill Clinton was active) is generally considered to form the right wing of the U.S. Democratic Party (which outside the US is considered to be right of center), but in terms of the whole country he was generally perceived as being on the moderate left.

		The big news from last week's Giant Rally in support of the NOVA SCOTIA ARTS COUNCIL was not the large number of people who turned out or the cowardly refusal of the Minister of Tourism and Culture to address the crowd.
		The most important news was that the leaders of both opposition parties spoke at the rally, and both were unequivocal in their support for the NOVA SCOTIA ART COUNCIL.
		Given the circumstances, it must be clear to the opposition parties that (1) the Tories made a drastic mistake in shutting down the NOVA SCOTIA ARTS COUNCIL, and (2) there is huge public support, from all parts of the province, for its reinstatement.
