Article en français (La Presse)

The Liberals under Susan Holt have won the majority of seats in the New Brunswick election.

At 9 p.m., with 80 per cent of the polls reporting, the Liberals were leading 31 ridings, the Progressive Conservatives were leading in 16 and the Greens were leading in two ridings.

Just before 9 p.m., CBC projected wins for Holt and Green Party Leader David Coon, who both ran for Fredericton seats, but PC Leader Blaine Higgs lost his Quispamsis riding to Liberal Aaron Kennedy.

Sadly the Liberals also tend to be pretty friendly with Irving from what I understand. But I'll take anything over the Cons, and Higgs losing his own seat is fucking hilarious. I hope that transphobic piece of shit dies in a fire.

I'm not thrilled by a Liberal majority, but I must admit I prefer the Libs' tendency of inaction to the Cons active destruction when it comes to policies near to my heart, including healthcare, education, linguistic rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and our relationship with First Nations.

I don't dare put any hope in them to move our province forward, but at least they won't be as active in making NB worse as the past Conservative government was.

At the very least there's nothing I could find in their platform that I can disagree with. Let's see if they actually deliver on it all.

He, Moe and Drug Fraud should be repatriated to the nations their ancestors emigrated from.

And Danielle Smith. And Francois Legault.

And while we're at it, hopefully this rot won't take root in BC, either.
