Methinks some folks should
find it interesting that when Gallant calls a news conference and gives
us no news whatsoever his words generate far more comments than the big
year end interview of Mr Higgs N'esy Pas?

mo bennett
this is exactly why the "top
story" voters want something new is absolutely hillaryous! I can't get
no, satisfaction should be voters new theme song.
David R. Amos
@mo bennett YO MO Methinks
you know I first crossed paths with Mr Gallant when he ran against
Bernie Lord in 2006 while I ran in Saint John Harbour while intervening
in the NEB Hearing about the Emera Pipeline Project for the benefit of
the the Irving Clan N'esy Pas?
David R. Amos
@mo bennett YO MO Methinks
you know that as soon as Mr Gallant became our Premier he could have had
Bernie Lord's illegal barring of me from legislative properties removed
but instead he waited for me to sue the Crown. Then to make matters
worse he had his old law professor Mr Rouselle write me a letter falsely
claiming that I needed his permission to sue the Queen after the matter
was already underway in Federal Court. Now that was truly funny N'esy
Pas?
mo bennett
this was like watching an episode of Mr. Know-It-All.
David R. Amos
@mo bennett YO MO Never mind watching try listening
Methinks Mr Gallant and Mr Higgs finally got around to listening to a hearing I had December 14th, 2015 with Justice Bell the first judge Harper ever appointed to the bench after he ran two election campaigns for him in New Brunswick N'esy Pas?

@Matthew Locke It is SO
amazing that all of a sudden there are so many brand new posters
commenting about a Liberal in little NB . Nothing like a coordinated
campaign to spread false impressions on the internet.

I found it strange how he was bent on staying in power even though he was one seat behind, he should have been more honourable!
Jack Forester
@Shirley Witt There is no honor among thieves.

@Shirley Witt Methinks
Gallant like all lawyers know when it comes to politicking or anything
else honour is not an issue N'esy Pas?

Key player in the francophonie games scam.

Guillermo Maletero
PEI , NB and NS should merge as 1 Province....only a million people live there …...way over governed...
less people than a couple of burbs on TO or Vancouver....cut the fat
definitely a region where the neck ( taxpayers) can't support the head ( govt)…. time to move on leave the old ways of pork behind

Methinks the Crown subdivided Nova Scotia for good reasons in 1784 However the "Powers That Be" forgot to give New Brunswick a constitution hence we must defer to the federal one N'esy Pas?

Shawn Tabor
This French,Acadian and even
Indigenous bashing has to stop. Sad to read on here that this still
exists. All these folks are good people. How do I know, because I run
the roads with them, partied with them and even worked with them. All
good people. We are all in this together. Has nothing to do with
language, just a small amount of folks making decisions, good or bad for
this little province that is our home. Don’t believe me, runs the roads
in Winnipeg or the B.C. areas.
David R. Amos
@Shawn Tabor I agree
Shawn Tabor
Oh I forgot, travel by
yourself and run the roads of Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Thunderbay,
Regina, Saskatoon, Nfld st George street esp. and the fine cities of
Alberta. But travel by your self.

Brian Gallant quits as leader of Liberal Party
Former premier says he'll step down at next caucus meeting
Former premier Brian Gallant says he'll step down as leader of the Liberal Party earlier than planned.
He made the announcement Friday afternoon at a news conference at the Hampton Inn in Moncton.
Gallant said he will resign at the party's next caucus meeting, when an interim leader will be chosen.
But he said he will stay on as MLA for Shediac Bay-Dieppe. He wouldn't say if he would stay on as an MLA until the next election.
Gallant said he will stay neutral on who should be the next Liberal leader.
Gallant, who tried to form a minority government after the Sept. 24 election, already announced his intention to resign when his government was defeated in the legislature and the Progressive Conservatives took over.
At the time, he said he would stay on as leader until the party found a replacement, which it hasn't done.
In a prepared statement Friday, Gallant suggested he was stepping up his departure as leader to nudge the party into arranging to elect a new leader.
Premier Blaine Higgs appears to be governing as if he has a majority, Gallant said, and as a result, the PC government might fall over its first budget.
"It is therefore, that much more important that I make it clear to the Liberal Party that I will not be reoffering," he said in the statement.
At the news conference, Gallant thanked New Brunswickers for the opportunity to serve the province.
He said he will continue to contribute to the betterment of the province but in other ways.
He has "no plans at the moment."
Gallant became Liberal leader in 2012. He won a majority government in 2014, defeating David Alward's Progressive Conservatives.
He made the announcement Friday afternoon at a news conference at the Hampton Inn in Moncton.
Gallant said he will resign at the party's next caucus meeting, when an interim leader will be chosen.
