2006 General Election
The first ever election was held on November 20th, 2006 where the two main parties, the Liberal-Conservatives and the Social Democrats, tried to form the first government and eventually shape the nation's future. The leader of the Liberal-Conservatives, Karen Casey, led the party to a landslide victory. She advocated for former Canadian ideas like Universal Health Care and social order. The Social Democrats, led by Darrell Dexter, had a hard time capturing there base in Urban areas and other areas in Nova Scotia. In the end the new Liberal-Conservative government introduced Universal Health Care or the UHC, minor financial regulation, taxation, and adopted the Continental Dollar offered by the American Union.

2009 General Election
The next General Election was called early due to a slowing economy, slowly growing unemployment, and the financial problems worldwide. The Liberal-Conservative Party put foward a new leader Dale Graham to adress any problem that the party had with a concerned voter base. The tactic may have paid off, the Social Democrats Darrell Dexter ran a very successful campaign, more so than the first time, picking up six seats most in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In the current session the Liberal-Conservatives were able to stave off a recession with new financial regulations, lowered corporate taxes, closing loopholes and deductions, and tightened the belt around public spending, which may have helped lower the unemployment rate to about 5.7%.
