Here is why the NSEF does not trust James Edwards, as he is running for Mayor. We urge you all to watch the following videos in full. You will see several councillors that took issue with supporting this motion but in the end, they all voted in favor of it. All but James Edwards.
The NSEF made a presentation on February 23, 2021, to the CBRM Mayor and Council about equalization. Here is the link:
(On the right side of the video you will see item 5.1 is the NSEF. Just click on that and you will be shown that portion of the video)
We then asked the Mayor and Council, with the help of Councillor Gordon MacDonald, to present 5 questions to the Nova Scotia Provincial Government from the Mayor and Council, about equalization. That meeting took place on July 6th, 2021. Here is that link:

(Again, just click on item 3.3 equalization on the right-hand side of the video)
James Edwards, who is now running for Mayor, was the only councillor who voted against the CBRM sending the 5 questions as coming from the Mayor and Council. Why? He also referred to the NSEF as a "special interest group".
James Edwards, in our opinion, does not deserve the position of Mayor of the CBRM. He has shown his true colors with regards to equalization so make sure you question him on that when he knocks on your door looking for your vote. Ask him why the CBRM only gets $15 million out of $3.284 billion that Ottawa is sending.
