HAD ENOUGH?:
Nova Scotia Premier fiddles, Liberals burn (JANE ARMSTRONG, 6/14/06, Globe and Mail)
The fiddler from Cape Breton pulled it off — barely. Rodney MacDonald won a minority government in Nova Scotia Tuesday, proving his party was right to pick a rookie cabinet minister to lead the Progressive Conservatives and the province.Posted by Orrin Judd at June 14, 2006 8:46 AM“Nova Scotia is truly a great province where the son of Mabou County can be elected premier,” Mr. MacDonald, 34, told a throng of cheering supporters in his Cape Breton hometown, his wife Lori-Ann and son Ryan by his side. Mr. MacDonald's narrow win is the third minority government for Nova Scotia in less than a decade.

Wow Mabou, Cape Breton. Used to vacation there when I was a kid. Lovely part of the world. We had some MacDonald friends there too. Of course nearly everyone there is named MacDonald and every other person is a fiddler as well.
