    Dartmouth, Highlights Key Themes in Your Area and Across the Province, and Outlines What DNS Is Doing to Help

    Doctors Nova Scotia’s Community Listening Tour Physicians in Nova Scotia are under pressure. Faced with large patient rosters and limited resources, they are worried about their patients, their practices and their personal lives. That’s why this spring, members of Doctors Nova Scotia’s (DNS) senior leadership team embarked on a province-wide listening tour. They attended 29 meetings with a total of 235 physicians in 24 communities – learning about the challenges of practising medicine in Nova Scotia from people who are experiencing them first-hand. Doctors Nova Scotia held 11 meetings in your zone. This report summarizes the discussion DNS staff members had with physicians in Dartmouth, highlights key themes in your area and across the province, and outlines what DNS is doing to help. Community Report: Dartmouth Meetings in Zone 4 – Central Location Date # of physicians Cobequid Community Health Centre May 18 16 Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital June 7 3 Musquodoboit Valley Memorial Hospital June 7 2 Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital June 7 3 QEII – Veteran’s Memorial Building June 13 4 Dartmouth – NSCC Waterfront Campus June 14 8 Spryfield Medical Centre June 14 7 St. Margaret’s Community Centre June 21 13 Dalhousie – Collaborative Health Education Building June 21 4 IWK June 22 2 Gladstone Family Practice Associates Sept 10 15 Individual correspondence Aug-Sep 5 TOTALS 11 meetings 82 physicians Issues in Dartmouth The association held one session in Dartmouth at the NSCC Waterfront Campus, but attendance was low. This is in part attributable to physicians leading very busy lives, but it may also be a reflection of the lack of connection and community among physicians in Halifax or a lack of confidence in DNS’s ability to influence change.

  • 2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results

    2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results

    2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results August 2019 2 Overview In Canada, we count seats, not vote. Just like in American Presidential elections, you can win the popular vote and lose the election. In fact, that happened to Justin Trudeau’s father in 1979. The general way analysts address that is to look at seats by region. However, seats in the same region can move differently. This release tries to get closer to reality in the seat-by-seat contest. Our analysis combines two projects: • An analysis of federal election districts (which we call “seats”) that groups them into 14 clusters based on which parties are most competitive in those seats. Given the shifting dynamics of Canada’s party system, we have relied on only the results of the past two elections. However, to assess where the parties stand in these 14 seat clusters, we need a lot of data. • A merge of the most recent three national surveys that include federal votes, creating a unweighted total of 7,555 respondents and a weighted total of 4,900. In each of our surveys, we collect postal codes. That allows us to create a riding variable for almost all our respondents and to group their responses by the riding they are in. The deck below shows the output from the analysis. The key finding is that, with the NDP in the doldrums, the Liberals are in a strong position coming into the race. Not only have they cemented their hold on last elections core seats, they may be able to gain seats to offsets the losses they will likely experience in the Toronto and Vancouver suburbs and Atlantic Canada.
