They need 25 votes for the
majority , plus one as speaker. Higgs has the best option . Gallant cut
his chances off by rejecting PA option . Higgs has lots of options .
Deals open with both PA AND the Greens. Common sense dictates odds are
with him ! For Libs, 21 plus 3 DOES NOT = 25 , no matter how much you
adjust the figures !
Marc Martin
@Lou Bell
Greens said it wont align with any party that is involved against language so that option is off the table buddy.

"In addition to his MLA's annual salary of $84,674, former Speaker Chris Collins earned $52,415 for ministerial and other duties.
That's according to the government's unaudited supplementary employee lists from 2017.
It also lists $31,914 for his Speaker expenses and allowance and $6,574 for a car allowance.
Thompson said he doesn't think any of his fellow caucus members would accept.
"I think they're smart enough to say no," he said."

accommodate him .

*wrongly, paint the PA as anti-French*
95% of their platform is on the French language issue. So yeah Barneys purple party is anti-French.

one service in bilingual language so duality and money throwing at this

Of their candidates I heard speak (in person or in news coverage), not one made any effort to speak in French. They likely have some candidates who can speak French - at least as well as Mr. Higgs - but you are not going to reach people unless you make the effort to communicate with them.

I love these comments about
how the government cannot effectively govern without a majority - Oh you
mean it could be a problem with having other parties voices heard and
that the government couldn't just have complete absolute power to drive
us into Bankruptcy? This is the trickster nonsense that occurs every
election and attempts to scare people into voting for either Liberal or
PC. The PCs fear monger to folks that they will split the vote. This
election speaks volumes - they (Libs or PC maybe) just don't like the
fact they would have to deal with 3 green seat and 3 PANB. The CBC
falsely allows a narratives to occur that PANB is against Francophone
people - this is not true and anyone with a brain who listens to PANB
understands this. Bilingualism as it stands is going to financially
rupture us if not already. We are 14.2 B $ in debt!!! ~ $83000 and hour
in interest per hour! Wake Up!

The Unconventional Candidate
By Gisele McKnight
"FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos. The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada."
"Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians. "I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
"What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico."

Its literally impossible for
the liberals to form a government, even if all the greens support them
they still fall 2 seats short and the PC and PA won't vote them in, so
they should basically just resign, its over. The PC will form a
government with the PA and Green party. Shame on the Liberals, they
are acting like spoiled children who are mad they lost, you can't
avoid a vote for months because you want to throw a temper tantrum,
hopefully the rest of the people who did vote for them see how unfit to
govern they actually are. We won't see a Liberal government in NB for a
very long time now, and coming in the fall will be the end of them
federally as well.

It is one thing for a member
to cross the floor when they find their party is not behaving as they
think it should in the Leg, but quite another to do so after having just
been elected on their party's ticket and not even taken a seat in the
Leg. The latter would be unconscionable -- hardly the act of an
'honourable gentle-person'.

mishka landry
@Mark Deckard The Greens do
not have to cross the floor. They can agree to support the government on
a case by case basis. The Greens and Liberals so not have to have
anyone stand for speaker which means a speaker would have to be
appointed from the PC or PA ranks.
Jim Moore
@mishka landry Even with all
the greens they still can't form a government, its still short a seat.
24 isn't enough, and a PC or a PA won't vote for them because they know
they will form the government when the Liberals fail as they surely
will. Anyone hoping for the liberals to stay in power are just plain
delusional, it is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE

Neil MacLean
Somebody has to agree to be
speaker. It should be somebody with some depth of experience in the
legislature. You aren't going to get a party leader, so I'd say that
lets out Mr C of the Greens. It also eliminates all the newbies from the
2 lesser parties. So that means either a Conservative or a Liberal is
going to have to let their team down for anyone to agree to be speaker.
If the speaker is a Liberal, the PC+PA could form a "stable" government
just until somebody (anybody) gets sick, or frustrated. Can PA extract
what they want from Higgs? Liberals+Greens? Not likely because Liberals
would still be 1 seat short of majority even if they got a PC to be
speaker. What PC would desert his/her team to become speaker for such
short term prospects? Or you have to ask what Liberal would dessert
their to become speaker when again the prospects for the government
lasting more than a year would possibly be slight. I imagine all these
guys are looking at each other and trying to guess at each other's
prospects for health or rebellion. Another election may well come very
soon.
David Amos
@Neil MacLean Methinks nobody wants to be the Speaker of possibly the shortest Parliament in NB history N'esy Pas?
mishka landry
No party was received a
majority mandate from the voters. As the incumbent Premier Westminster
convention dictates he is given the first opportunity to form a
government. He has the absolute right to reconvene the legislature to
ascertain confidence. If he cannot command confidence then the LG can
ask the Conservative leader to form a government. If no party can
command confidence then Gallant can request dissolution and a fresh
election. The PC's would require the support of the PA. Even then it is
an unstable government given a speaker must be appointed which would
still leave a virtual tie. The Liberals did win the most votes despite
coming up one seat short.
David Amos
@mishka landry Your point is?
SarahRose Werner
Me personally, I would love
to see a Liberal-Green coalition government. But 21+3 is still only 24,
which is not a majority. Unless Gallant can get a PC MLA to cross the
floor, I don't see how he's going to put a government together.

The new brunswick election
signals something else.. people are slowly going to be disruptors by
throwing the establish to commit to something they do not want to do or
forfeit power the people or small minority can get ahold of two parties
and make the other parties go further than they wanted to before.
Or face another election now that people know how close they did come step up the game and smaller parties can hijack mainstream parties who want to remain in control. yeah then the next election if they do cave and suck up then why vote for the weaker party and go after the other minor other.. its wide game really. Very political.. That is why proportional voting representation is better.. not 1st choice or 2nd choice option. Just one vote that is all nothing more nothing less, than the real majority votes will matter.

RECAP: The liberals lost the
election,21 to 22 Conservatives won. The amount of votes means nothing
its the seat count that wins elections. Since either party at this time
has a minority government the liberals who are the incumbent government
have first try at forming a government. If they cannot win the
confidence of the legislature they have to step down and the
Conservatives have a chance if they are not successful and cannot win
the legislature over then a election is called.

The "All (party I don't support) crowd" is essentially the same, it doesn't matter if they are saying all Liberals are bad or all Conservatives are bad.
An individual can personally dislike someone, or have a different idea of how to help Canada than any particular party, but if someone can actually keep a straight face and accuse any PM of trying to ruin the country you can bet they just don't have much confidence in their own views.
You can't compare Harper to Trudeau because they governed during very different times. What you can do is cherry pick one liners, or highlight single incidents and try and portray it as fact.
That's why you see one particular quote from Scheer, or one Tweet from Trudeau, or childish selfies and socks or closet references.
That's why i say there is no "side" with this mentality, the anti cons and the anti liberals have more in common with one another than moderate supporters of either party. Their statements sound exactly the same, just change a few names around.

"What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.

Is 38% more than 32%?
How does that 6% translate as a proportion of 49 seats?
It's clear that you know little about democracy in Canada if you think that's the only number that matters.
It's clearly not.
There's even an article explaining it if you would care to scroll up and read before posting.

@David Allan Nope, it's constitutional conventions that swayed the LG - as she should have followed.
@David Allan So the number of seats held by a single party is irrelevant then? This doesn't sound much like democracy to me.
I do realize that the popular vote went a different way, perhaps if it was a flat out tie then the popular vote would count.

I trust that everybody knows why my name was on the ballot in Fundy again. While I did not get many votes as usual l tried my best to speak about the Irving versus SNB lawsuit, the closed Potash mine, dairy farmers versus NAFTA and TPP and most importantly how to get the province out of debt ASAP with the Chamber of Commerce folks and on local TV as well
Methinks many politicians are familiar with this story that appeared in the Kings County Record June 22, 2004 N'esy Pas?
The Unconventional Candidate
By Gisele McKnight
"FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos. The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada."
"Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians. "I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
"What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico."

Most countries in the world are multi-lingual.
You're basically saying NBers aren't as smart as people living in sub-Saharan Africa if they can't cope with two languages.
NB insisted on Sec 16. That's why it exists. That's why they're the only province with this specific mention. It was not forced on them. It was demanded by them through the governing party lead by Richard Bennett Hatfield (Progressive Conservative). During Hatfield's long tenure, he became prominent on the national stage, allying with federal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau during the constitutional negotiations that led to the 1982 patriation of the Canadian constitution and the creation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

That's where you're mistaken. Nobody wins or loses an election in such a manner. The election doesn't even determine who gets first chance to form government. It's just a battle for seats. Nothing more.
You clearly have zero understanding of our Westminister Parliamentary system... which isn't really your fault. Not many people do.

You think so? From the canadaguide.com website:
"At any time, any member of the House of Commons can introduce a proposal known as a confidence motion that declares something to the effect of: “be it resolved this House no longer has confidence in the present Government of Canada.” If that motion passes, the House is said to have voted no confidence in the government, and the government must call an emergency parliamentary election, and win it, in order to remain in office."
The leader of government must go to the Lieutenant-Governor, ask her to dissolve the present government, and to call an election.
Search "The Canadian Parliamentary System" on the above website if you have any doubts.

@Robert Brannen The Queen
must allow the Premier to create the next parliament before such a
motion can be introduced. Furthermore if he finds himself in trouble can
ask her prorogue it like Harper did in 2008. Furthermore remember early
2011 when Harper was found in contempt of the House like they falsely
claimed I was as well?
Methinks it should be a small wonder why I sued the Crown while I was running in the election of the 42nd Parliament and your hero Harper was still the Prime Minister. Its kinda strange that Trudeau The Younger and Premier Gallant support Harper's and Bernie Lord's actions against me in 2006 and two years before that as well N'esy Pas?
Dave Peters
The popular vote should have
an effect on who governs. We've been talking about reforming our
electoral system for ever with promises from politicians to be soon
forgotten after being elected. The thing I find most interesting in
this election is how our electoral map now looks in NB. It's like were
in a passive civil war between North & South. This is what is
holding our province back. So unfortunate for us all and we need to
talk about why this is occurring and fix it.

We were unfortunate enough to have been transferred to NB for 3 years by my employer, what a miserable 3 years. Despite my wife having an education and years of experience in her field she was unable to find a job in her profession because she doesn't speak French, government cash grabs and fees attached to literally everything, yearly vehicle inspection cash grabs, record out-migration, more deaths than births for the last several years in a row, no industry, no prospects, province teetering on bankruptcy, generational EI and welfare abuse etc etc. We were overjoyed when we got transferred back to Alberta. All that being said, I hope the Conservatives get in down there and sort things out. That province is in danger of becoming insolvent and despite being a disaster otherwise, it is a fairly scenic and quiet place to live.

Subject: What a showing! / Quelle démonstration !
To: David Amos <motomaniac333@gmail.com>
Dear Green Party
Candidates, Volunteers, and Supporters,
What an election!
And, WOW, what a showing! Three MLAs, more than 11% of the popular vote, and
major inroads all across the province. The final fundraising tally isn’t in
yet, but together we raised tens of thousands of dollars for this campaign, more
than double what we raised last election!
Whether you put up a
sign, knocked on doors, talked to family and friends about policies, wrote a
cheque, shared information on social media, or ran as a candidate – thank YOU!
The success of the campaign across the province is because of your efforts.
I know there are some
disappointed Green teams this morning, but just because you didn’t win your
riding doesn’t mean your amazing efforts weren’t noticed and appreciated. In
many ridings, the old parties are getting nervous about the growing support for
Green candidates. Over and over during the last few weeks I have been impressed
by stories from all across our beautiful province of campaign teams working
harder than we ever could have dreamed. Everything you did for this campaign helped up the ante
and raise the bar for the next election.
One thing is certain:
We are building a movement. A movement that is because of you, and FOR you and
your children and their children. A movement I’m very proud to be a part
of.
Here’s to
2022!

Chers canditats,
bénévoles et partisans du parti Vert,
Quelle élection! Et,
WOW, quelle démonstration ! Trois députés, plus que 11 % du vote et des
améliorations majeurs à travers la province. Le décompte final de la collecte
de fonds n’est pas encore connu, mais nous avons recueilli des dizaines de
milliers de dollars pour cette campagne, plus que double de ce que nous avons
recueilli lors de la dernière élection !
Que vous ayez mis une
pancarte, frappé aux portes, parlé des politiques à votre famille et à vos amis,
fait un chèque, partagé de l'information sur les médias sociaux ou présenté
votre candidature - merci à VOUS ! Le succès de la campagne à l'échelle de la
province est attribuable à vos efforts.
Je sais qu'il y a des
équipes vertes déçues ce matin, mais ce n'est pas parce que vous n'avez pas
gagné votre circonscription que vos efforts extraordinaires n'ont pas été
remarqués et appréciés. Dans de nombreuses circonscriptions, les anciens partis
s'inquiètent de l'appui croissant des candidats verts. Au cours des dernières
semaines, j'ai été impressionné à maintes reprises par les récits de nos belles
équipes de campagne qui ont travaillé plus fort que nous n'aurions jamais pu
l'imaginer à travers toute la province. Vous avez vraiment mis le paquet durant
les dernière semaines et tout ce que vous avez fait a placé la barre très haut
pour les prochaines élections.
Une chose est
certaine : Nous construisons un mouvement. Un mouvement qui est à cause de
vous, et POUR vous et vos enfants et leurs enfants. Un mouvement dont je suis
très fière de faire partie.
À 2022 !

Premier Brian Gallant makes changes to senior civil service staff
Number of deputy ministers is now 18, down 36 per cent from 2014.
CBC News Posted: May 13, 2017 1:56 PM AT
The Liberal government made some changes to the senior ranks of the
provincial civil service Friday, shuffling responsibilities between
deputy ministers.
Premier Brian Gallant says jobs, education and health care remain
priorities for our government.
"These changes will bring a renewed focus to these areas and enable us
to continue to work hard to get things done for New Brunswickers," the
premier said.
Changes include:
Eric Beaulieu, currently deputy clerk of the Executive Council
Office and assistant deputy minister of Intergovernmental Affairs,
will become deputy minister of Social Development and president of
the Economic and Social Inclusion Corporation on May 23.
Beaulieu replaces Craig Dalton, who has taken a position with the
provincial government in P.E.I.
Hélène Bouchard will succeed Beaulieu as assistant deputy minister
of intergovernmental affairs.
Patricia Brown-MacKenzie will replace Beaulieu as deputy clerk of
the Executive Council. She holds and will keep numerous positions
including deputy secretary to cabinet, secretary to the Jobs Board,
secretary to the Policy Board and assistant deputy minister
responsible for policy in the Executive Council Office.
Michael Comeau, who is the current assistant deputy minister with
Justice and Public Safety, will become deputy minister of Justice and
Public Safety on June 3. Comeau replaces Johanne Bray, who has taken a
position in her native Ottawa.
Bill Levesque, deputy minister of Intergovernmental Affairs will
take on the additional responsibilities of deputy minister of
Aboriginal Affairs and the government's First Nations representative
effective immediately. He will replace Patrick Francis and Judith
Keating, who are retiring from the civil service.
As a result of the changes, the number of deputy ministers is now 18,
which is a reduction of 36 per cent from September 2014.
Government departments reduced, 'priority units' created

Progressive Conservative MLAs ready to get to work
PC Leader Blaine Higgs to meet with lieutenant-governor on Thursday
Progressive Conservative candidates who
won Monday's election are waiting for an update from party leader
Blaine Higgs after he meets Thursday morning with the
lieutenant-governor.
But some say it's not stopping them from doing their job.
"I'm good to go," Dorothy Shephard said Wednesday at her constituency office in the riding of Saint John-Lancaster.
"It will be another day or two before I'm proclaimed by Elections NB but I've been notified by the legislature that we can begin working as soon as possible."
Higgs did not agree to be interviewed Wednesday.
Elected
for the third time, Shephard got 3,001 votes, according to unofficial
results posted on the Elections New Brunswick website.
Her nearest competitor, Liberal candidate Kathleen Riley-Karamanos, got 1,727 votes.
"I won by a healthy margin," Shephard said. "It won't be contested."
In the riding of Saint Croix, winning PC candidate Greg Thompson said he's fielding calls from frustrated voters.
"They're puzzled by the whole thing," he said.

Conservative MLA Greg Thompson, who won in the riding of Saint Croix,
said he doesn't think any of his fellow caucus members would accept the
Speaker's position that he rejected on Tuesday when it was proposed by
former Liberal MLA Jack Keir. (CBC)
Thompson also confirmed Wednesday that he had been contacted by former Liberal MLA Jack Keir.
"Jack called me yesterday morning around 10 o'clock and asked me whether I'd be interested in being Speaker," said Thompson.
"My answer was no, of course."
It may have been tempting. The Speaker's job comes with extra money, similar to a cabinet minister.
In addition to his MLA's annual salary of $84,674, former Speaker Chris Collins earned $52,415 for ministerial and other duties.
That's according to the government's unaudited supplementary employee lists from 2017.
It also lists $31,914 for his Speaker expenses and allowance and $6,574 for a car allowance.
Thompson said he doesn't think any of his fellow caucus members would accept.
"I think they're smart enough to say no," he said.
As a former member of Parliament, Thompson sat through two of the longest-lasting minority governments in Canadian history under Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

He
said the Conservatives didn't make any formal deals with other parties
but instead went bill by bill, with "good legislation" that others could
support.
He thinks the Progressive Conservatives, under Blaine Higgs, could do the same.
"Nobody wants an election," Thompson said. "They're expensive."
"I know the Liberals have enough money in the bank, if you will, to run another election. I think the other parties wouldn't be as well-heeled.
"That will be the glue that holds the whole thing together, if we're given a chance."
But some say it's not stopping them from doing their job.
"I'm good to go," Dorothy Shephard said Wednesday at her constituency office in the riding of Saint John-Lancaster.
"It will be another day or two before I'm proclaimed by Elections NB but I've been notified by the legislature that we can begin working as soon as possible."
Higgs did not agree to be interviewed Wednesday.
Her nearest competitor, Liberal candidate Kathleen Riley-Karamanos, got 1,727 votes.
"I won by a healthy margin," Shephard said. "It won't be contested."
Frustrated voters
In the riding of Saint Croix, winning PC candidate Greg Thompson said he's fielding calls from frustrated voters.
"They're puzzled by the whole thing," he said.
"Jack called me yesterday morning around 10 o'clock and asked me whether I'd be interested in being Speaker," said Thompson.
"My answer was no, of course."

Liberals court Greens for governing partnership
Premier has to act quickly to seek the confidence of house, professor says
New Brunswick Liberals have made the first public move to create a formal governing partnership after coming up short of seats in the legislature on election night.
Premier Brian Gallant, standing in front of the Liberal caucus outside the legislative building, announced the party will approach the Green Party in hopes of forming a partnership based on shared "progressive policies."
- Liberals and PCs continue battle over who will govern N.B.
- Election debrief: After all that and we still don't know who's in charge
- Tabulation machines make chance of flipping votes remote in recounts
After Gallant's announcement, the Green Party said it would not have a comment Wednesday.
Since the two major parties fell short of the required 25 seats for a majority — the PCs won 22 and the Liberals 21, pending recounts — there has been much speculation about whether they would court the six seats evenly split between the Greens and the People's Alliance.
The premier said a Green-Liberal partnership would mean they could "implement the progressive policies we both put forward in this campaign."
"We do feel there are a lot of principles, values and certainly very specific policy measures that match up," he said.
A meeting has not been set.
Greens keeping mum
Earlier in the day, Green Party Leader David Coon refused to discuss his options any detail, saying he and his new MLAs want to look for ways to make the legislature more co-operative to reflect the will of voters.
He told reporters that the three other parties all have positions the Greens could support.
Liberal + Green = 24 seats. Not a majority, and that's before a speaker is chosen. Gallant won't comment on that but says Libs will talk to PC MLAs about coming over.
Some PC MLAs won't be comfortable with Alliance cooperation, Gallant says. He names Robert Gauvin in particular.
Both the Liberals and Tories have been approaching opposing MLAs to talk about changing sides or taking the Speaker's post, which would leave one party down a vote.
Quick action needed
Gallant must call a session of the legislature very soon if he wants the Liberals to form the legitimate government, says Donald Savoie, a professor who specializes in public administration.
Gallant can't wait until sometime before Christmas, as he told reporters on Tuesday, before the legislature sits, said Donald Savoie, who holds the Canada Research Chair in public administration and governance at the University of Moncton.
"It will only be a legitimate government after the assembly gives it a vote of confidence, so he's got to move quite quickly," Savoie said, suggesting Gallant and his Liberals were like a hockey team keeping possession of the puck while the clocked ticked down.
"He cannot rag the puck on this one."
Even if [Gallant] had only won five seats, he has that right to meet the assembly and ask for confidence.- Donald Savoie ,Savoie urged the premier to call an assembly in no more than a week or two, saying there should be "a sense of urgency."
Until then, the government is being run the same way it was run during the election campaign — and the Liberals are still in power.
Later on Wednesday, Gallant told reporters he would call an assembly in November "at the very latest."
He said the Liberals would prefer to act sooner, but the party is in the midst of exploring potential governing partners.
Permission to govern
Gallant has said he's received permission from Lt.-Gov. Jocelyne Roy-Vienneau to try to govern and win the confidence of the legislature.
Higgs, however, has said he was told by the lieutenant-governor's office that Gallant hadn't, in fact, received permission. The PC leader suggested the issue can't even be decided until after likely recounts Oct. 5 in several close races.

"More discussions need to take place, and we await his decision," Richardson said, adding that would be the only comment.
Not always like hockey
But, meanwhile, people are still wondering who holds the best cards: Gallant, who is still premier, according to the Westminster system of government, and also won a greater share of the vote, or Higgs, who won the most seats and is referring to himself as premier-elect?
Savoie suggested New Brunswickers are comparing the contest to a sport.
"I think New Brunswickers look at this like they would a hockey game," he said. "Montreal Canadiens got four goals, Toronto got three … and Montreal Canadiens wins."
But although the party with the most seats usually dictates who forms government, Savoie said the sitting premier has a constitutional right to seek a vote of confidence from the legislature, even if he wins fewer seats.
Don't toy with democracy
"New Brunswickers don't elect provincial government, we elect members to the assembly. In turn they decide who should form government.
"Even if he [Gallant] had only won five seats, he has that right to meet the assembly and ask for confidence."

"I think we need to respect the will of New Brunswickers," he said. "That's what democracy is all about. We can't play fast and loose with democracy."
Nova Scotia experience
Former Nova Scotia Premier Rodney MacDonald called New Brunswick's election a reminder of when he governed a minority PC government from 2006 to 2009.
At the time, the PCs held 23 seats, the NDP had 20 and the Liberals 9.
MacDonald managed to steer the minority government for three years. Then his government lost a confidence vote, which led to an election his party lost to the NDP under Darrell Dexter.
"I've always been of the belief that the party with the most seats should have the first opportunity to assume power," he said.
'The people are never wrong'
MacDonald said keeping a minority government is not a simple task, and it was often a struggle to get legislation passed.
"If you will, you will need a dance partner," he said.
The PCs never formed a coalition with another party, but there was a partnership with the Liberals with respect to support for budgets.
"The Green or the People's Alliance Party, they're going to need to play a role in this, and so I would expect that to happen," MacDonald said.
He said party leaders and MLAs have a responsibility to make sure government works for the people of New Brunswick.
"The people are never wrong," he said. "The people decided what they want to see."

How Ottawa is reading New Brunswick's wild election result
Does the split result reflect momentum for Conservatives, or something else entirely?
The election results out of New
Brunswick don't offer much in the way of clarity. The party that got the
most votes failed to win the most seats. No party won a majority.
And the leaders of both the provincial Liberal and Conservative parties — separated by a single seat — are claiming the right to first crack at forming a government.
As it stands now, the Conservatives hold 22 seats, the Liberals 21. The Green Party and the new People's Alliance each won three. That means those smaller parties will play a pivotal role in deciding whether the province remains Liberal red or turns Tory blue.
Up in Ottawa, federal politicians are paying attention. Party strategists are analyzing the results for clues to how voters in Atlantic Canada might be leaning, and which issues might spill over into the next federal election a year from now.
Start with the Conservatives. MPs on the Hill were quick to jump on the promise by New Brunswick Tory Leader Blaine Higgs that he would join other conservative-leaning premiers in opposing the Trudeau government's national price on carbon.
"We see this as proof that New Brunswickers stand with Saskatchewan, Ontario and Manitoba and would fight against the prime minister's carbon tax," deputy Conservative leader Lisa Raitt told the Commons on Tuesday as her colleagues cheered.
"This election is evidence that the people of New Brunswick will not be bystanders. They used their voice and chose to fight back against an unfair tax."

Surprising
no one, the reaction from the Liberals was more subdued. They've
already seen Liberals swept out of power in Ontario. B.C.'s Christy
Clark, an ally on pipelines and the need for a price on carbon, is also
gone. Quebec's Liberal government could be next, with polls showing
Premier Philippe Couillard faces an uphill battle to stay in office.
If New Brunswick Liberal Leader Brian Gallant is unable to form a government in New Brunswick, the Trudeau government's brand of cooperative federalism will be a much tougher sell.
That may explain why the federal minister responsible for New Brunswick is conceding nothing while Gallant tries to make a deal with the Greens to stay in power.
"Every
vote counts," said Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc.
"We'll see what happens when the legislature reconvenes."
Either way, there's a visible crack in the Liberal fortress in Atlantic Canada.
The federal Liberals hold all 32 seats in the region. Each of the four provinces has had a Liberal government since Justin Trudeau became prime minister.
That may be about to change, even though Gallant says he's going to carry on governing for now.
"The red wall in Atlantic Canada has been breached," said David McLaughlin, a former deputy minister in New Brunswick and chief of staff to former Conservative premier Bernard Lord.
McLaughlin said he doesn't believe climate change was the deciding issue for voters in New Brunswick — but he's certain the results there indicate voters want something more tangible than what the Trudeau government is offering.
"People are voting for lower taxes, economic security. We saw that in Ontario with Doug Ford. And now we are seeing it in New Brunswick."
Liberal strategist Greg MacEachern cautions that Monday's results may only be the continuation of a pattern of one-term governments in the province. But he agrees there's a message there for the Trudeau Liberals.
"They need to convince Canadians that they are better off today than three years ago. They want to see the new infrastructure and more jobs in their community. They've done the aspirational. Now it's time to get stuff done."
There's always a risk of reading too much into a provincial election's implications for federal parties. But the outcome in New Brunswick, convoluted as it is, does offer a glimpse into what voters are thinking.
The victory by three Green candidates on Monday is a good example. The party is now represented in four provinces — British Columbia, Ontario and P.E.I. are the others — and federal party leader Elizabeth May said the results in New Brunswick suggest the party's appeal extends beyond B.C., where she has her seat.
"Greens elected anywhere help Greens get elected everywhere," she said. "It tells Green voters they are not alone."

The
news is not at all positive for New Democrats. Despite a strong showing
in the Ontario provincial election, where the party captured 33 per cent
of the vote and now serves as the Official Opposition, the NDP was shut
out in New Brunswick, winning only 5 per cent of ballots cast.
That's less than half the votes received by the Green Party.
MacEachern said that tells him the federal Liberals shouldn't assume that disaffected NDP voters in next year's federal election will automatically come to them. He said Conservatives need to take the same view.
The New Brunswick voters who marked their ballots for the People's Alliance — a party that opposes official duality and corporate handouts — may lean more toward the policies being promoted at the federal level by Maxime Bernier than those offered by Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer. The People's Alliance is in favour of things like ending duality for school busing, loosening bilingual requirements for paramedics, and eliminating the office of the commissioner of official languages.
After Monday, the people of New Brunswick weren't at all clear about which party ended up on top. Federal leaders in Ottawa may be just as confused.

Brian Gallant gets permission from lieutenant-governor to continue governing N.B.
PC Leader Blaine Higgs will speak with reporters in Saint John suburb of Quispamsis at 2:30 p.m. AT
New Brunswick's lieutenant-governor on Tuesday gave Premier Brian Gallant permission to continue governing the province while the Liberals try to win the confidence of the legislature with fewer seats than his main opponent.
Gallant met with Lt.-Gov. Jocelyne Roy Vienneau the morning after the results of the provincial election suggested the Progressive Conservatives had eked out a minority government — 22 seats to the Liberals' 21 — in a legislature requiring 25 for a majority.
Two third parties each won three seats.
Liberal leader Brian Gallant speaks to reporters outside Government House, before heading inside to ask the Lieutenant Governor to allow him to continue governing the province.
"I am still the premier, and we are still the government," Gallant told reporters after the meeting. "But … we have heard the message loud and clear from New Brunswickers last night. There's some uncertainty at the moment, and I recognize that."
Before the end of the year, Gallant will have to call the legislature, choose a Speaker, present a throne speech and then hold the standard two-week debate on whether the legislature supports that speech.
Gallant said he expects the New Brunswick legislature will sit before Christmas, and if the Liberals lose the confidence of the house, the government will resign.
The Liberals find themselves in a difficult spot despite taking a larger piece of the popular vote in the province's 39th general election. With all polls reporting, the Liberals won 37.8 per cent of the votes compared with the PC share of 31.9 per cent.

Brian Gallant's scrum outside Government House
Brian Gallant speaks to reporters before asking the Lieutenant Governor to allow him to continue governing New Brunswick. 19:15
Gallant
said the Liberals would continue to stick to their "progressive"
principles while trying to work with other parties to get things done in
the legislature.
Voters made it clear none of the five party platforms was "exactly what they wanted," he said, but they sent a strong message they want things to change.
"They did not clearly define who they wanted to lead that change. That is clear. But we did get the plurality of votes."
Gallant seemed optimistic he could win the co-operation of the Green Party, led by David Coon.
They disagree about some issues, but Liberals "share Green Party values" on others, including the environment, women and official bilingualism, Gallant said.
The first test
The choice of a Speaker will itself be fraught, because if Gallant chooses a Liberal, he'll be down a vote in the house.
At the end of the throne speech debate, there will be a vote — the first test of whether Gallant can win the confidence of the legislature.
If he loses that vote, the lieutenant-governor could then ask PC Leader Blaine Higgs to form a government rather than trigger a new election.
"If we lose the confidence of the legislature, there will be no hesitation for me to allow another party or parties to form government or for there to be a general election, which I don't think anybody wants." Gallant said.
Higgs will speak with reporters at 2:30 p.m. AT in the Saint John suburb of Quispamsis.

Gallant has the right to try to govern because his government — the cabinet, or executive — remains in office until it resigns or is dismissed by the lieutenant-governor.
The province's last minority government happened in 1920, when the United Farmers party held the balance of power.

Liberals get first chance to govern divided legislature, expert says
Progressive Conservatives won 22 seats on Monday compared to Liberals' 21, Greens' 3, People's Alliance's 3
What happens now?
It's been almost a century since New Brunswickers elected a minority government, so we're all a little rusty on our British parliamentary conventions.
But Liberal Leader Brian Gallant knew what he was doing when he declared Monday night — even when the Progressive Conservatives were ahead by one seat — that he would attempt to continue governing.
"The current premier always [retains] the right to meet the legislature regardless of the electoral outcome," said Philippe Lagassé, an expert on the British parliamentary system at Carleton University in Ottawa.
With his Liberals one seat behind the PCs in the count, and with both parties short of a majority, Gallant told supporters in Grande-Digue he would meet Lt.-Gov. Jocelyne Roy Vienneau to discuss an early convening of the new legislature.
"I will discuss with her my plans to do everything we can do to work collaboratively with the other parties," he said, acknowledging that voters clearly wanted other parties to play a role in the legislature.
At that point, the PCs were leading in 22 seats while Gallant's Liberals led in 21, exactly where the final count ended up. The Green Party and the People's Alliance won three seats each.
It takes 25 seats to win a majority government in the 49-seat legislature.
Gallant
has the right to attempt that because his government — the cabinet, or
executive — remains in office until it resigns or is dismissed by the
lieutenant-governor.
"From a strictly legal point
of view, the existing premier has the right to meet the legislature
regardless of the result, simply because he or she is is the premier," Lagassé said."That's it."
Higgs: 'I accept this mandate'
But Lagassé also said the public doesn't understand that technicality and assumes the party with the most seats wins automatically.
"Even though it's not convention that it's the party with the most seats [gets] to form government, I think it's still fair to say there's an expectation, particularly if the margins are wide enough in terms of public perception," he said.
That's a perception PC Leader Blaine Higgs was pushing on Monday night.
"I accept this mandate," he said, joking that, "I guess Brian Gallant and I will both be lined up at the lieutenant-governor's office in the morning."

Later, he added: "I'm treating this like an election victory because that's what it is right now."
He told CBC News he didn't accept that a party with fewer seats can even try to stay in office.
Convention would give Gallant a chance to govern
If Roy-Vienneau follows convention, though, she must let Gallant make the first attempt to govern.
That will mean calling the legislature, choosing a Speaker, presenting a speech from the throne, then holding the standard two-week debate on whether the legislature supports that speech.
The choice of a Speaker will itself be fraught, because if a Liberal is chosen, Gallant will be down a vote at the outset.
At the end of the two-week throne speech debate, there will be a vote — the first test of whether Gallant can win the confidence of the House.
"There must be no hiatus in government, no long breaks of delays between the defeat and resignation of one government and the swearing-in of another," former lieutenant-governor George Stanley said in 1992.
Then it would fall to the Progressive Conservatives to try to govern without a majority — by presenting its own throne speech and hoping that the other parties in the legislature will vote for it, or at least not vote against it.
Tories have 2 options in minority situation
The PCs would have two options.
They could try to forge a formal deal that would see one or both of the smaller parties prop up the Tories by agreeing to support them on confidence and budget votes in exchange for concessions on policies.
Or they could try to draft bills one at a time that would appeal to the other parties enough to win their support, case-by-case.
Ted Flemming, re-elected in Rothesay, pointed out that Higgs, People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin, and Green Leader David Coon share some views on fiscal prudence.
But Coon ruled out being part of any deal that includes the Alliance, saying there's "no way I can imagine being involved in any arrangement" with a party that would take away language rights or refuse to act on climate change.

Whatever happens, a Higgs PC government might not last four years.
The longer such a government gets from Monday's election, the more likely — if it loses the confidence of the House — that the lieutenant-governor would break the impasse by dissolving the legislature for a new election.

Liberals and Tories in dead heat, People's Alliance makes history
A 2nd Liberal majority in jeopardy, and smaller parties play major role on election night
CBC News
New Brunswick 2018 election special LIVE
After 32 days of
campaigning, New Brunswick is poised to learn who will form the next
government. CBC's Harry Forestell is hosting a special election program
that will deliver the latest results and provide analysis into NB Votes
2018. 0:00
It's a dead heat.
The Progressive Conservatives and the Liberals are tied at 21 seats as the final votes are counted in the 39th provincial general election
But Monday will a night to remember for New Brunswick's smaller parties.
CBC News projects PCs to win 16 ridings and the party is leading in another five, while the Liberals are sitting at 17 elected and leading in four. The parties are tied despite the Liberals taking a larger piece of the vote.
With 88.3 per cent of polls reporting, the Liberals have received 37.8 per cent of the votes compared with the PC share of 32.3 per cent.
Liberal Leader Brian Gallant won his home riding of Shediac Bay-Dieppe, while Tory Leader Blaine Higgs won in Quispamsis.
The People's Alliance made history party leader Kris Austin to captured Fredericton-Grand Lake and Michelle Conroy won Miramichi, home to Liberal minister Bill Fraser. The party is leading in Southwest Miramichi-Bay Du Vin and Fredericton-York.
In 2014, Coon became the first Green MLA elected in New Brunswick.
"The people of Fredericton South voted for hope, not fear. They voted for kindness. They voted for change, not the status quo," he said during his victory speech in downtown Fredericton.
NDP Leader Jennifer McKenzie, sitting third in Saint John Harbour, conceded in front of a room of supporters. The party received five per cent of the vote.
"Tonight, people have decided to send others to the legislature," she said.
Three Liberal-held ridings are projected to flip, including Fundy-The-Isles-Saint John West., where Tory candidate Andrea Anderson-Mason beat cabinet minister and longtime MLA Rick Doucet.
The party is also trailing in another two ridings it won in 2014.
Another single-term government?
The Gallant Liberals are seeking another four years in power, while the Progressive Conservatives hope to take back the legislative assembly and extend the recent string of single-term governments.
But a trio of smaller parties — the People's Alliance, the Green Party and the NDP — could play an "enormous" role in determining the outcome, said CBC poll analyst Eric Grénier. A third of voters could throw their support behind parties besides the Liberals or Tories.
The Liberals are aiming to be the first government to win a second term since the Bernard Lord Tories in 2003.
When the legislature dissolved, there were 24 Liberals, 21 Progressive Conservatives, one Green, one independent and two vacancies.
Voter turnout
Elections New Brunswick is hoping for a better voter turnout after the historic low of 64.7 per cent in 2014. And so far, the turnout has been positive, according to chief electoral officer Kim Poffenroth.
As of 2 p.m. Monday, more than 177,000 ballots had been cast — higher than normal at that point on election day, she said.
The figure is in part fuelled by a larger turnout in advance voting. More than 87,000 voted early this year compared to 67,317 last election.
Poffenroth said voting had gone smoothly so far Monday, with just one of the more than 470 polling stations opening late. The Le Goulet station in Shippagan-Lamèque-Miscou riding will remain open for an extra 20 minutes.
However, at least three ridings reported issues with tabulation machines. Elections New Brunswick said the issues in Hampton, Saint John Harbour and Fredericton North have been resolved.
Liberals, Tories trade jabs
The Liberals chose a pro-spending campaign in the face of concern from economists and the public to improve the province's finances. The party promised heavy spending on infrastructure, health care, nursing homes and education, while also pledging to freeze power rates.
If Gallant wasn't touting his record or making a spending pledge, he was attacking Higgs. The Liberals routinely targeted the PC leader's record as finance minister as well as his connections with big business and warned the electorate of cuts to public services.
Higgs stood by his record and even said — in rather dramatic fashion — the Liberals approached him about taking a job in their government following the 2014 election. Gallant denied the claim.
Stabilizing provincial finances and boosting the economy were the pillars of Tory messaging. The party promised to balance the budget two years into their mandate without making cuts to education and health care.
Higgs also campaigned against the "job-killing" carbon tax.
A two-party province no longer
New Brunswick has been a two-party province for, well, forever. Only twice in the past 100 years has a third party held more than one seat in a legislature.
However, a pair of upstart parties in their third election seem poised to play a major role Monday night. The People's Alliance and the Green Party were polling at unprecedented levels leading up to election day.
Feeling the smaller party pressure, both Gallant and Higgs have cautioned against vote splitting.
Coon made history in the 2014 election, becoming the first Green MLA elected in the province by winning Fredericton South. Now the party wants to build from Coon's growing profile and name recognition after four years in office.
The People's Alliance leader was defeated in Fredericton-Grand Lake by 26 votes in the last election, but Austin has returned with a groundswell of support behind him as the party seeks not only its first seat but multiple seats in the legislative assembly.
The Alliance has gained a fervent following in the past eight years, culminating in its largest field of candidates (30) this year. However, some of its policies, particularly on language issues, have spurred controversy and alienated voters.
The NDP, once firmly positioned as the third-party alternative, fell to fifth place in polls taken during the campaign.
NDP Leader Jennifer McKenzie, who is running in Saint John Harbour, steered the party away from the centre and back to its leftist roots in hopes of capturing its first seat in 15 years.
Gallant is running in Shediac Bay-Dieppe, while Higgs is running in Quispamsis.

> >> ORDER

> >> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on

> >>
> >> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
> >> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
> >> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
> >> in its entirety.
> >>
> >> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
> >> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
> >> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
> >> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
> >> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
> >> he stated:
> >>
> >> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
> >> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
> >> You are your brother’s keeper.
> >>
> >> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
> >> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
> >> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
> >> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
> >> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
> >> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
> >> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
> >> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
> >> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
> >> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
> >> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
> >> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
> >> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
> >> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
> >> Police.
> >>
> >> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
> >> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
> >> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
> >> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
> >> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
> >> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
> >> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
> >> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
> >> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.

> >> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of

Steven Pinker and Ken Dryden: 'Where there's a way, there's a will'
When NHL legend Ken Dryden was about to publish his book, Game Change, he got in touch with Harvard psychologist and linguist, Steven Pinker, who was about to publish Enlightenment Now. Their common ground: what does it actually take to change someone's mind? Pinker also happens to have grown up in Montreal, and idolized the former Canadiens goaltender. The two talk to Paul Kennedy about the relationship of rhetoric and reason.
**This episode originally aired March 13, 2018.
Ideas
Pulitzer Prize-winning psychologist Steven Pinker on the mysterious formula for social change.
Steven Pinker joins Ken Dryden and Paul Kennedy to discuss how we convince anyone of anything. 1:10
Hall of Fame goaltender Ken Dryden wants to change not just the rules of hockey, but the entire culture of the sport. There are simply too many serious head injuries, and the thinking behind the rules governing the game has lagged behind the realities of how it's actually played. Pulitzer Prize winning psychologist Steven Pinker believes that Enlightenment values have had their stock lowered on both the right and left, and he would like to see them resurrected — values like reason, science, humanism and progress. Too often, truth gets personalized. And we lose sight of the fact that life for most people has improved compared to any other epoch in history. And we owe that improvement, he argues, to the Enlightenment.
Progress in particular almost appears antiquated as an ideal. But both are firm believers in the notion that it is still viable, perhaps more than ever. Whether it's a sport in particular, or a society in general, changes for the better not only can be made; they have been made.
Steven Pinker's first contact with Ken Dryden
Ken and I met, I think [in] 1996, approximately. Ken was doing a series on learning and the brain for Ontario public television. I remember getting a call out of the blue from a filmmaker who called himself Ken Dryden. And [I was] thinking at the time: wow, what a coincidence! He has the same last name as the immortal from the [Montreal] Canadiens. And as the conversation proceeded — it was a very pleasant conversation — and the filmmaker at the other end said that he is well familiar with Boston. And at one point [I thought]: you're Ken Dryden! We had a very pleasant lunch, and Ken recounted all the great memories that he had of coming to Boston every spring, and winning!
Ken Dryden first encountering Steven Pinker
I started reading Steve's books when he was writing about language. And I thought they were just unbelievably interesting, and about something that that — notionally — should not have been interesting… and then I just kept reading him. And then the last the last book of Steve's that I read was the 'The Better Angels of Our Nature'.
And I couldn't believe how — again — interesting and challenging a book it was. And how he took something that was so indisputable, about how violence was really getting worse, and worse, and worse — and everybody knew it was even beyond discussion or debate. And then in the way in which Steve does things, of just relentlessly looking back at what was, as opposed to what we remember.
Ken Dryden on using Steven Pinker in the classroom
I was teaching a course at McGill called "Making the Future". And I wanted to get students to think about the future, not just to learn about the present and the past which they would do in the rest of their academic courses. And Steve's book was one of two that I assigned every year, in part because of how interesting it was about violence, but even more than that.
Here are these students who are 20 years old, 21 years old, and almost every adult in their lives is telling them about how things are worse and worse and worse, and that the world is going to hell in a handbasket. And if they are going to make a future they have to believe that, in fact, a better future is possible.
And so this was the book that really I wanted them to read, to help reinforce in their minds that they had the right to hope and the right to believe that the future that they would live would be better than what was and is.
Steven Pinker on resisting social change
People tend to moralize the status quo, that the there's a way of doing things that allows us all to get along reasonably well. And to challenge that is often seen not only as not particularly moral, but sometimes as immoral. Why are you going to mess up a nice harmonious society? [But] our cars are safer. We put up with seatbelts — that's another example that in the 50s and 60s would have been considered neurotic to to wear a seatbelt while you're driving. Airbags. Drunk driving — another example that was a source of comedy through the 80s. There was a movie called Arthur with Dudley Moore, and one of the funniest scenes was when the protagonist gets drunk and cracks up an expensive sports car. It's almost horrifying to watch that now because we think of drunk driving as something that kills children. And thanks to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, they reframed that practice from an act of comedy to an act of criminality.
Steven Pinker on the nature of progress
I don't think we really understand it. It's one of the great puzzles of social science. They just see these trends that seem to sweep along. But there's no such thing as a trend to make society safer. There are people who invent seatbelts, and there are legislators who pass laws, and there are car-makers who install them. And even though looking back with a bird's eye view, you can pretty much say that something is inevitable. Really, when you say 'inevitable' what you mean is sooner or later someone actually presses the button, someone makes the argument, someone rallies the supporters. Some of it is laying out concrete suggestions as Ken does in 'Game Change'. You can't bring head injuries to zero most likely, but you can reduce them a lot — and to adapt a quote from former President Obama: he would have to tell his staffers [that] 'better' is good. Because they would always say: well, that won't solve the problem… they're still be unemployment. Yes, but if there's less of it, that is progress.
Ken Dryden has been a politician, lawyer, and Hall of Fame goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens. He's also the author of numerous books, including: The Game (1973), Home Game: Hockey and Life in Canada (with Roy MacGregory, 1990), and Becoming Canada (2010). His most recent book is Game Change: The Life and Death of Steve Montador and the Future of Hockey (2017).
Steven Pinker is a Harvard professor of psychology and Pulitzer Prize winning author of books on linguistics, neurocognitive science, and computational theories of mind. He's a prolific author, and among his many books are: The Language Instinct (1994), How the Mind Works (1997), The Blank Slate (2002), The Better Angels of Our Nature (2011) and The Sense of Style (2014). His most recent book is Enlightenment Now:The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress (2018).

I've known of the famous Ken
Dryden since his goal tending days. I hadn't heard of Steven Pinker, the
"prize winning author", until just recently when I read a review of
"Enlightenment Now" the reviewer entitled, "Waiting for Steven
Pinkerton's Enlightenment". It wasn't complimentary. They're both navel-
gazers.
There has been only one enlightenment. It occurred about 200,000 years ago when 'Eve' asked 'Adam' "Why am I?", the question of meaning that gave birth to humanity. 'Adam' didn't know but instead of ignoring it tried to fill the void and whether or not we are aware, we continue his legacy.
There is no denying in the process of trying to fill the void humanity has acquired an astronomical amount of knowledge that has resulted in massive progress in medicine, science and technology and other microscopic aspects of life. However, we've made no progress toward accepting the fact we can't fill the void and in the same process of trying we have just about destroyed life.
If we have time to make a difference afterwards, the second enlightenment will occur when there is universal understanding we can't fill the void, and quit trying. In the meantime, Capetown SA may be able to put off the day they have no water, until next year. 40 million people who depend on water from the Colorado River are facing their own day 0. I may even see the day those of us on the west coast will burn to death or die of thirst.
Will someone please tell Ken Dryden in a few decades there won't be enough water to make ice rinks. And tell Steven Pinkerton the improvements he sees in our lives notwithstanding, humanity is on a collision course with Nature and not all the seat belts or hockey helmets in the world can save us.

@Doug Barr Trust that I am well aware of whose legacy I do continue. My forefather was Adam Amos. (He picked his own name)
That said when I heard Ken Dryden talk of Integrity today I saw red as well. I recall talking to Dryden in 2006 after we both ran in two elections while I went in and out of the Yankee jail in Boston. I cursed at another sneaky political lawyer after he had admitted knowing who I was and of reading my emails. Dryden just laughed at me instead attempting to discuss the content of my documentation. Anyone can Google my name and his and still see some traces of my emails to him over 12 years ago still published on the Internet. Here is just one of the files Dryden laughed at.

Woodlot owners might be stronger with 1 board, former minister says
Bruce Northrup points to dairy farmers, who have done well with a single marketing board
Former Natural Resources Minister Bruce
Northrup says woodlot owners might be better off if a single,
province-wide marketing board represented them in dealings with forestry
companies.
Seven marketing boards in different regions of the province now serve private woodlot owners.
To make his case for a single marketing board, Northrup pointed to the model used by New Brunswick dairy farmers who, through their single board, have control over their market sector.
"They have one board and the milk marketing board works really well," he said.
Seven marketing boards in different regions of the province now serve private woodlot owners.
To make his case for a single marketing board, Northrup pointed to the model used by New Brunswick dairy farmers who, through their single board, have control over their market sector.
"They have one board and the milk marketing board works really well," he said.
The wood marketing boards once had exclusive rights to negotiate wood prices on behalf of their members.
We don't see that right now as being a solution to the current problem.- Rick Doucett, SNB marketing boardBut in many cases today, mill owners like J.D. Irving Ltd., are bypassing the boards, requiring individual woodlot owners to negotiate prices one on one with a company or one of its contractors.
JDI started to use this practice on a large scale about eight years ago in the territory of Sussex-based Southern New Brunswick Forest Products Marketing Board.
In 2012, the company stopped buying wood from the SNB entirely, and has since expanded the practice of "direct contracts" to the territories of other marketing boards.
Six of the seven boards were created in the late 1970s and given regulatory powers over private wood sale by acts of the provincial legislature.
The recent industry practices have diminished the boards' effectiveness.
"Should there be seven boards instead of one?" asked Northrup, who was natural resources minister from 2010 to 2013 when David Alward's Progressive Conservatives were in power.
Northrup said he plans to discuss the proposal with woodlot groups in coming months.
John Sabine, a director with the SNB board, said he worries a single, provincial board would lose touch with individual woodlot owners.
"That's something I wouldn't be opposed to looking at," said Sabine. "I don't see personally how that would be a big benefit."
Board sees Crown deals as problem
The single board idea is not a new one, said Rick Doucett, president of the New Brunswick Federation of Woodlot Owners.
"Oh, we've discussed it among ourselves," he said.
"I guess where we don't look at different structures very seriously is because we don't see that right now as being a solution to the current problem."
The problem, according to Doucett, is that marketing boards are being forced to compete with large volumes of wood available from Crown land.
He said there could be one "overall private wood agency" in the future, possibly with regional offices to ensure a broader pool of wood to ensure an adequate supply to ensure woodlot groups can fulfil their contracts with industry.
The head of industry group Forest NB says any structure created by the marketing board system would have to be a win/win for both woodlot owners and industry or it will not work.
"Not knowing what a single marketing board might look like administratively, how it would function, it's difficult to say if that's even a plausible proposal," said Mike Legere.

hey bruce you forgot to
mention that the milk marketing board does a GOOD JOB OF KEEPING MILK
PRICES THE HIGHEST IN CANADA IN THE POOREST PROVINCE.
Bruce Northrup
@michael levesque we have great milk and great farmers in the province of New Brunswick.
Paul Bourgoin
The Louis Lapierre's forest management plan is what manages Crown Land today. It is destroying what belongs to this and future generations of New Brunswick Citizens, The Department of Natural Resources, The Forest Rangers our eyes in our forest, The Land, the Water, the Fish, all Wildlife populations, the Birds, and most important the access to Crown land. Private Woodlot owners and Marketing boards and Joe Public don't stand a chance facing this Lumber Giant!! There goes our Crown-land Forest, the jobs, New Brunswick's Pristine forest, clear rivers, Leaving only a silent Tree Farm!!
steve waddell
betcha there isn't a person
that can accurately tell you how much wood Irving slashes on crown land
besides Irving. 100 hector clear cuts everywhere, maybe bigger. very
poor management of our crown land

Tory wave sweeps across Saint John region as PCs win 9 seats
All but one Saint John-area riding elects Progressive Conservatives on Monday
The Saint John region has been painted Tory blue, electing Progressive Conservatives in all but one of 10 ridings.
That includes the resounding defeat of long-serving Liberal cabinet minister Rick Doucet, who lost by more than 1,300 votes to Progressive Conservative Andrea Anderson Mason in Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West.
He won Saint John Harbour by 10 votes, edging out retired teacher and Progressive Conservative candidate Barry Ogden. NDP Leader Jennifer McKenzie placed a distant third.
Since the riding was decided by fewer than 25 votes, a judicial recount will be automatic upon request.

New Brunswick election night in 90 seconds
00:00
01:40
The People's Alliance improved its showing in every riding in the Saint John region where it fielded a candidate.
In Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins, People's Alliance candidate Jim Bedford placed second to Tory incumbent Bruce Northrup.
Portland-Simonds
The NDP's Kim Blue finished third with 449 votes, while Green Party candidate Sheila Croteau was close behind with 435. Independent candidate Artie Watson received 191 votes.
Holder held cabinet posts in the Bernard Lord and David Alward Tory governments.
Saint John East
People's Alliance candidate Matthew Thompson placed third with 1,047 votes.
The NDP's Alex White finished fourth, followed by the Green Party's Lynaya Astephen.
Savoie originally lost his bid for the Saint John East seat in 2014, losing to Simonds High School Principal and Liberal candidate Gary Keating by only nine votes.
But in a surprise turn of events, Keating resigned only 22 days after the election. Savoie easily won the byelection to replace Keating with 44 per cent of the vote.
Saint John Harbour
In 2014, voters elected Liberal MLA Dr. Ed Doherty but only by 71 votes.
It was even more of a nail-biter this time around.
City councillor and Liberal candidate Gerry Lowe won by 10 votes, edging out Barry Ogden, a community activist and retired teacher who ran for the Progressive Conservatives.
Any past loyalty voters had for former NDP Leader Elizabeth Weir must feel quite distant now. Current NDP Leader Jennifer McKenzie finished third.
Green Party candidate Wayne Dryer — who ran for the NDP in 2010, before switching to the Green Party in 2014 — received 721 votes.
People's Alliance candidate Margot Brideau received 393 votes.
The results may be subject to a recount.
Saint John Lancaster
Liberal candidate Kathleen Riley-Karamanos finished with 1,727 votes, followed by People's Alliance candidate Paul Seelye.
The Green Party fielded Doug James and the NDP candidate was Tony Mowery.
Last December, Shephard announced she was taking a leave from the legislature to battle breast cancer.
Earlier this month, she received her final radiation treatment.
"We're almost through this and I am so grateful for the medical professionals who have taken care of me," Shephard wrote in a Facebook post at the time.
Shephard served as minister of healthy and inclusive communities in the David Alward government.
Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West
But it was Doucet who was on the other side of a landslide this time.
Progressive Conservative newcomer Andrea Anderson Mason won with 3,808 votes to Doucet's 2,422.
The People's Alliance candidate, Doug Ellis, finished third with 1,104 votes.
Romey Frances Heuff, carrying the Green Party banner, received 469 votes, while the NDP's Keith LeBlanc got 203 votes.
Doucet held the energy and resource development and agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries portfolios in the Gallant government. He was also government house Leader.
Quispamsis
Liberal Aaron Kennedy finished second, with 2,078 votes, followed by People's Alliance candidate Keith Porter.
The Green Party's Mark Woolsey finished fourth and NDP candidate Ryan Jewkes placed last with 239 votes.
Rothesay
Progressive Conservative Ted Flemming defeated Liberal candidate Stephanie Tomilson for the second time.
People's Alliance candidate Michael Griffin finished in third place with 722 votes.
The Green Party's Ann McAllister received 571 votes, while the NDP's Josh Floyd got 251 votes.
Flemming was first elected in 2012 byelection. He was a member of Alward's cabinet, first as health minister and then as attorney general.
Kings Centre
The new riding was created in 2013. It runs from Welsford up to Norton, encompassing parts of the old Fundy-River Valley and Hampton-Kings ridings.
Oliver garnered 3,267 votes, good enough for 43 per cent of the vote.
Liberal Bill Merrifield finished a distant second, followed by People's Alliance candidate Dave Peters.
Green Party candidate Bruce Dryer finished fourth. NDP candidate Susan Jane Shedd received 342 votes.
Hampton
The Liberals fielded Carley Parish, a local lawyer. She finished second, followed closely by People's Alliance candidate Dana Hansen.
The Green Party ran John Sabine in the riding, while the NDP candidate was Layton Peck.
Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins
Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins was the best showing for the People's Alliance in the Saint John region. Candidate Jim Bedford came second with more than 1,800 votes.
Liberal Ian Smyth placed third, followed by Green Party candidate Fred Harrison, the NDP's Dawna Robertson and independent candidate David Raymond Amos.
Northrup was a key part of Alward's cabinet, serving as minister of natural resources. He was later appointed minister of public safety and solicitor general.

Higgs says he will seek to govern as party overcomes challenges
Progressive Conservative leader puts own interpretation on election results
Blaine
Higgs, who sought to return New Brunswick's Progressive Conservatives
to power after four years in opposition, says he plans to meet with the
lieutenant-governor and intends to form the next government.
The party secured 22 seats in the 49-seat legislature, short of the 25 needed for a majority government.
But the party eked out one more seat than the Liberals, the party that governed for the past four years. The Green Party and People's Alliance won three seats each.
"The one who wins the most seats forms government," Higgs said Monday evening in an interview with CBC.
Philippe Lagassé, an expert on the Westminster system of government at Carleton University in Ottawa, said that's not the case.
Higgs said he'll need support from the other parties to govern.
Liberal Leader Brian Gallant told supporters he intends to meet with Lt.-Gov. Jocelyne Roy Vienneau about working with other parties to pass legislation on a vote-by-vote, issue-by-issue basis.

Who will govern N.B.?
It was an extremely tight race - and both the PCs and Liberals say they will make a case to govern. 0:28
Higgs took a shot at Gallant, saying he was "in denial about the election results."
The PC leader said he's looking forward to working with the leaders of the Green and People's Alliance parties.
"We've got to put priorities of the province ahead of politics," Higgs said. "I've said that for eight years."
"We're getting into the weeds now, it's all premature," Coon said as results were still coming in Monday evening.
The 64-year-old PC leader won his Quispamsis riding, taking almost 57 per cent of the vote. The PCs finished the campaign with one more seat than when the legislature dissolved.
Vote split worries
The PCs openly warned in the final days of the campaign against splitting the vote, suggesting people vote for a party that has better chance to win.
"Why would we take a chance on splitting the vote and having another four years of Brian Gallant?" Higgs said last week. "Because that is the real risk for New Brunswick."
"I will work with anyone who has the best interest of putting our province first and politics second," Higgs said.
The suggestion the PCs would be open to working with the People's Alliance, which campaigned on ending language duality, drew criticism from the francophone community on social media.
Language issues
Language issues dogged Higgs — who isn't bilingual — and the PC campaign. The last unilingual premier was Richard Hatfield, who left office more than three decades ago.
A proposed Radio-Canada leaders' debate did not go ahead after Higgs said he couldn't take part, prompting Liberal Leader Brian Gallant to say no as well.
The PC leader did take part in a Rogers/Brunswick News debate using translation equipment.
Higgs sought to distance himself from his past with the Confederation of Regions party, which campaigned on repealing official bilingualism.
"I have a different perspective on things today," Higgs said in August. "I believe that all New Brunswickers, French and English, have the opportunity to speak their own language and to learn another one. My opinion has changed over the last 30 years."
In that role, he oversaw cuts to public spending, though he was not able to eliminate the deficit.
Higgs was re-elected in 2014 when the Liberals took power.
The Liberals in this election repeatedly attacked Higgs over his record as finance minister, suggesting he would make further cuts to health and education if the PCs won. Higgs was vague on the cost of some promises, saying he didn't have the financial details necessary to make accurate predictions.
In the document, he claimed the Liberals offered him a position as finance minister or deputy minister in the government shortly after the Tories were defeated in 2014.
The Liberals denied it.
Plain-spoken message
Higgs secured the PC party leadership in October 2016, leading every ballot against six other candidates.
His plain-spoken message: He would do politics differently as leader.
The party entered the election year with a financial disadvantage.
The party fielded candidates who previously ran or supported other parties.
That included former NDP leader Dominic Cardy in Fredericton West-Hanwell and former Liberal supporter Moira Murphy in Moncton South.
At several points, PC candidates took positions that differed or contradicted Higgs, including positions on schools in Moncton and changes to a controversial law on relocating judges.
He was hired at Irving Oil Ltd. and rose through the ranks before entering politics.
Higgs and his wife, Marcia, have four daughters and three grandchildren.
