Timeline
Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin (born September 7, 1969) is a Canadian politician.
Smith-McCrossin’s victory in Cumberland North marked the first occasion since 1988 that an independent candidate won election to the Nova Scotia legislature.
She graduated from Dalhousie University in 1991 with a bachelor of science in nursing.
She earned an executive MBA
from Saint Mary's University in 2013.
She was elected to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly in the 2017 provincial election.
She is an Independent member and represents the electoral district of Cumberland North.
Smith-McCrossin was born and raised on a dairy farm in Linden, Nova Scotia.
Smith-McCrossin was elected to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly in the 2017 provincial election.
She was a member of the Progressive Conservative party until ousted on June 24, 2021, for failing to accept responsibility and apologize for her role in an illegal blockade of the Trans-Canada Highway.
Smith-McCrossin launched a bid for the leadership of the PC Party of Nova Scotia on February 6, 2018.
Her leadership campaign was co-chaired by Halifax-businessman Rob Batherson and former Member of Parliament Scott Armstrong.
Smith-McCrossin was re-elected as an Independent in the 2021 provincial election.
In February 2020, during the 2020 Canadian pipeline and railway protests, McCrossin tweeted: “The rail blockades must be removed today.
Businesses are being affected in Cumberland North and layoffs are coming soon for many if they are not removed immediately,” said the MLA at the time, calling those blockades “illegal”.
On June 22, 2021, Smith-McCrossin was accused of inciting a blockade of the Trans-Canada Highway in protest to the ongoing closures of the border.
In reality the protest was held at exit 7, 43 kilometers from the border on an off ramp the day prior to the referenced blockade.
This protest did not block the Border, in reality there was a blockade conducted at the border by a non-affiliated group, Smith-McCrossin had urged the protesters to end the blockade.
However, media at the time did not clearly define that Smith-McCrossin was not responsible for the border blockade.
This led to her being ejected from the Progressive Conservative caucus and barred from running for the party in the upcoming election.
Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative leader Tim Houston said "As colleagues for the past four years, I owed her an opportunity to explain her actions, and the efforts she took to conceal those actions from her caucus colleagues. Ms. Smith-McCrossin refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing and — when explicitly asked by her caucus — refused to apologize to Nova Scotians as she didn't take part in the border blockade."
In April 2023, Smith-McCrossin asserted that a woman who once worked in her constituency office was persuaded into signing a non-disclosure agreement with the Progressive Conservative caucus when she worked there in 2018.
MLA and Minister Karla MacFarlane tabled a motion to expel Smith-McCrossin from the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, a legislative concept never before heard of in Westminster-style Parliaments of Commonwealth countries, the government later relenting.
Smith-McCrossin is pursuing legal action.
This matter is currently before the courts and is set to be heard in November 2024.
