Sending paramedics to binding arbitration in early July is an act that has left a bitter taste in many union mouths, and I was curious to see what Dexter felt separated his NDP party from the provincial Liberals and Tories.
Please enjoy the following interview with Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter.
