Nova Scotia PC Campaign Faces Vote-Buying Allegations Over Gift Cards

Elections Nova Scotia is investigating claims that a campaign worker handed out Tim Hortons gift cards, prompting a resignation.

The Liberal Party has accused the Progressive Conservative campaign of Susan Corkum-Greek of vote-buying by distributing Tim Hortons gift cards in Lunenburg.
Peter Zwicker, the campaign manager for the PC candidate, has resigned after admitting to handing out $51.75 worth of gift cards.
Each gift card was valued at $2.07, equivalent to the cost of a small cup of coffee, and were distributed during a meet and greet event.
PC Leader Tim Houston stated that giving out gift cards was not a party strategy and local campaigns make their own decisions.
Elections Nova Scotia has confirmed it is investigating the allegations, with the provincial election scheduled for November 26.
