HALIFAX — John Buchanan, who was Progressive Conservative premier of Nova Scotia from 1978 to 1990, has died. He was 88.
A Halifax lawyer before entering politics, Buchanan was known for his folksy manner.
He resigned as premier in 1990 and was appointed to the Senate.
In a statement today, Tim Houston, the current Tory leader, hailed Buchanan as a master campaigner and a skilled politician.
More coming.
