David, it's just all those federal infrastructure projects running out of money before the election. I'm sure you know the "deal", boost employment, boost GDP, all with deficit spending. What you really aren't supposed to notice, in a supposid booming economy, is our money is worth less, and less, compared to foreign currency.

NB residents and NB government are the reason NB hasn't any jobs!
Between shutting down industry because of their beloved swamp land and Bilingualism .
Ottawa can't keep handing out useless government grants to a welfare friendly province.
And look at all the EI abuse that goes on in NB. How can anyone help NB if they don't want to help themselves??

The Liberals in New Brunswick have told Justin Trudeau to stay home this election. They don't want him campaigning here because it will hurt their chances of getting re-elected. LOL! One MP is now telling everyone that it the person in the riding that you are electing ...not the Prime Minister. LOL!!!!


Welby Trutthough 
Reply to @Bill Thompson: the liberal MPs in New Brunswick are terrible. A lot of nuts who buy into Justin's ideas of peoplekind and marijuana. Sooner New Brunswick become a blue fortress, the better. The way these liberal MPs act, it's as if they've never spoken to real New Brunswickers outside of their party activists world.

Reply to @Bill Thompson: But Higgs is not a liberal...He is the cause for the losts of jobs.
David R. Amos 
Reply to @Marc Martin: Methinks many would agree that its Brian Gallant and Trudeau The Younger's fault N'esy Pas?

Available jobs are decreasing, yet government claims the province needs more immigrants (newcomers) to increase the population and fill jobs. Something does not add up ..... part time job gains cannot make up for full time jobs lost.

Reply to @Dan Lee: but, did we really elect Higgs? Not with a minority government we didn't.

Cracks in the Liberal monolith...

Reply to @Alex Forbes: But New Brunswick still votes liberal, no matter what at the federal level and most of the time, provincial level as well.
Alex Forbes 
Reply to @Anne Bérubé: As I have said, you could have a scarecrow run as a Liberal in a French region and it would get elected.
Margeurite Deschamps
Reply to @Alex Forbes: I don't see too many vote Liberal in the south and the CONservatives do run scarecrows.

Reply to @Alex Forbes: Justin Trudeau is not the provincial premier but higgs and your hero pastor are....

Reply to @Alex Forbes: When I was living in my youth CoRsevatives where getting elected years after years with no results.

Reply to @Marc Martin: Methinks everybody knows your beloved SANB hero Brian Gallant just took a fancy job in Toronto because New Brunswick can no longer afford him N'esy Pas?
