Is the province poised to destroy itself even further?:
Voters in New Brunswick head to the polls today after a brief provincial election campaign notable for the unusual steps candidates had to take to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thanks to health and hygiene rules, there were no handshakes, no kissing of babies, no rallies and no community barbecues. ...
“I know that this year has been tough and has been filled with many unexpected challenges,” Higgs said Sunday in an email to party supporters.
“But it is thanks to our … government’s strong leadership that our province saw one of the lowest rates of COVID-19 in all of Canada. We have worked hard to keep our citizens safe and now we are working hard to safely reopen our economy.”
At dissolution, there were 20 Tories, 20 Liberals, three Greens, three People’s Alliance members, one Independent and two vacancies. At least 25 seats are needed for a majority in the 49-seat house. Recent polls put the Tories well ahead of their rivals.
