Liberal Leader Iain Rankin says his party's $4-billion plan to upgrade health-care facilities will transform the way services are delivered in Nova Scotia, but critics say not enough is being done to support people with disabilities.

Life is not fair. A poor province with limited funds. I also find the activists selfish sometimes. No LTC for me. I am not eww-old so deserve 150K of funding instead of 75K. Ageism is also at play. Small homes if you don't have dementia but warehouses if you do.
