NB Liberals nominate Aaron Kennedy in Quispamsis
July 2, 2024 • News
June 28, 2024 (Quispamsis) – Liberals gathered in the riding of Quispamsis last night to nominate Aaron Kennedy as their candidate for the next provincial election.
As the event began, surrounded by local supporters including the town’s Mayor and Deputy Mayor who spoke on Aaron’s behalf, caucus members, former MLAs, and nominated candidates, Leader of the Liberal Party of New Brunswick Susan Holt said “Higgs has got to go. New Brunswickers are frustrated and struggling to make ends meet. People are struggling to pay rent, buy groceries, and put gas in the car, and this government just isn’t listening. We need a government that will work together to ensure we can make life affordable, by introducing a rent cap, by taking the provincial tax off of power bills, and to find innovative solutions in local communities. Our municipal leaders know their communities best, their citizens best, and the needs of each unique region.”
Quispamsis is the twenty-second riding where the Liberal Party is holding a nominating convention leading up to the next provincial election.
Aaron Kennedy is currently the acting Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Quispamsis. He has been an employee of the town since 2011. Prior to his work in federal, provincial, and municipal governments, Aaron was an award-winning broadcaster and journalist. He was also the chair of the 2016 TELUS Cup host organizing committee, which generated a then-record $175,000 Legacy Fund, co-chair of Rogers Hometown Hockey in Saint John in October 2016, co-chair of the successful bid committee for the 2018 Canada 55+ Games, chair of the 2018 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, and chair of the 2023 Para Hockey Cup. Aaron was also involved with the bid committee for Les Jeux de l’Acadie, which were held in the region in 2022. He was named Discover Saint John Sport Planner of the Year in 2017.
When addressing the crowd, Kennedy said, “I’m proud to be joining this team, and I’m excited torepresent the people of Quispamsis. We are ready to replace what is left of the Progressive Conservative party with a government who will listen to New Brunswickers and govern as a collective team putting the needs of our citizens first.
“I am thrilled to be adding Aaron to our team,” said Holt while closing the event. “He brings with him a wealth of community and managerial experience, and is a strong advocate for the people of Quispamsis, which he will continue to be as the next MLA for Quispamsis.”

Allain suggests link between premier, delayed municipal fiscal reform
Some local governments in need of bridge funding: municipal group
Former cabinet minister Daniel Allain is suggesting there’s a link between the delay of further municipal fiscal reform and Premier Blaine Higgs, but the Moncton East Tory MLA won’t say exactly what that link is that has affected the file.
Allain, who was fired as local government minister by Higgs in June 2023, says his department was initially on track to hit a Jan. 1, 2025, deadline to provide more revenue sources for cash-strapped municipalities.
By the time he left cabinet in mid-2023, however, Allain says the municipal fiscal reform file had been moved to the “wayside.”
“Any time that we had momentum we lost it a little bit – that’s unfortunate,” he said in an interview Friday.
“However, I think we can get it back on the rails as fast as we can, and by seeing the two associations (agreeing to municipal fiscal reform priorities) in unison with one voice, I think it’ll definitely help move things forward.”
When asked why momentum was lost, Allain said, “You’ll have to ask the premier on that one,” and wouldn’t elaborate further about what he meant, calling it a “debate” to be had after the upcoming provincial election.
Allain has already announced he won’t reoffer in the election that must occur no later than Oct. 21. He was booted from cabinet last year after he and five other Tory MLAs voted in support of a Liberal motion on Policy 713, which deals with gender identity in the public school system.
Brunswick News requested comment Friday from Higgs about Allain’s statements. Higgs declined comment through his office.
New Brunswick municipalities are now preparing for another year without those promised fiscal changes. Both the anglophone and francophone municipal associations say they’ve been told by the government that additional financial reforms will be implemented by Jan. 1, 2026.
In a statement Friday, new Local Government Minister Glen Savoie said it had “always been the plan” for the changes “to be in effect for the 2026 budget year” once they were implemented in 2025.
But in an interview, Allain said his intention, through the municipal reform white paper he released in 2021, was to have additional fiscal reform changes implemented by Jan. 1, 2025.
In November 2021, the Higgs government pledged that a second phase of fiscal reform to support cash-strapped municipalities would be brought forward by the start of 2025.
Among those changes could include an overhaul of the property tax system, the splitting of provincial cannabis sale proceeds and the handing over of traffic fine revenue to municipalities.
More revenue sources were deemed critical by the Higgs government to support its reorganization of New Brunswick municipalities in the first phase of reform back in 2023.
That same year, the Higgs government implemented the first phase of fiscal reforms – adding a heavy industrial tax class and giving municipalities more flexibility when setting their tax rates – but the province has yet to take any additional steps.
Some local municipalities in need of bridge funding
Some francophone local governments will need financial support to bridge themselves through to Jan. 1, 2026, according to Yvon Godin, president of the L’Association Francophone des Municipalités du Nouveau-Brunswick (AFMNB).
“We’ve asked the government to be open to help these governments right now,” said Godin, a councillor for Rivière-du-Nord.
Last December, the Higgs government released a report by two Université de Moncton economic professors who reviewed municipal and regional finances in the province.
The report’s authors, André Leclerc and Pierre-Marcel Desjardins, concluded the current financial model for local governance isn’t sustainable. They predicted as many as 29 local entities – or about one-third of all municipalities and rural districts – could run a budget deficit from 2024 to 2026.
In his statement, Savoie said he was “proud of the work the department is doing to engage with our local government partners as we continue to navigate local governance reform.
“Since I have become minister, it has been my priority to work closely with municipalities on this file,” he said. “I want to recognize the efforts and hard work of local elected officials; we value their voice as we continue to collaborate.”
Liberal local government critic Jacques LeBlanc claims New Brunswick municipalities essentially lost a year of progress on the municipal fiscal reform file due to the departures of Allain and his deputy minister Ryan Donaghy in 2023.
Donaghy – a longtime deputy local government minister – was reassigned to the role of deputy education minister for the anglophone sector.
“(Donaghy) knew everything. He had everything lined up, the timelines were there,” LeBlanc said. “That was, to me, done intentionally.”
Green local government critic Kevin Arseneau said it’s clear that the Higgs government “mismanaged” the file.
“When you say you’re going to do something, you get it done,” said Arseneau, the MLA for Kent North. “This government made some promises and it didn’t follow through on them.
“They put their resources elsewhere.”
Municipal groups unite to advocate during election
Representatives of New Brunswick’s municipal associations continue to participate in a working group with provincial department officials to arrive at a fiscal framework.
But these associations are also preparing for a possible change in government come this fall.
Last week, New Brunswick’s anglophone and francophone municipal groups inked a memorandum of understanding on their shared priorities for a new fiscal framework with the province.
Those priorities include the diversification of revenue streams, “predictable” cost-sharing infrastructure programs, “stable and equitable” equalization funding, long-term funding for enhanced regional service commissions, and a “modern” property assessment and taxation system.
“We want all of the leaders of all the political parties to be aware that we’re united in our efforts around this now and going through the summer and into the election season,” said Tantramar Mayor Andrew Black, president of the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick.
Green local government critic Kevin Arseneau said it’s clear that the Higgs government “mismanaged” the file.
“When you say you’re going to do something, you get it done,” said Arseneau, the MLA for Kent North. “This government made some promises and it didn’t follow through on them.

Allain says he’s “impressed” by the unity on display by the two municipal associations and by the proposal they’ve developed.
Both the Liberals and the Greens say they’re supportive of the municipalities’ fiscal reform asks and know time is of the essence to help these local entities.
In the case of the Greens, Arseneau says his party would like to go further and give more decision-making powers to municipalities – the level of government closest to the people.
As for the Liberals, LeBlanc says he and party leader Susan Holt have been upfront with the municipal associations that they’d need in the new year to meet with stakeholders and develop a long-term fiscal framework if they were to form the next government.

Rona Ambrose's fundraiser leaves N.B. Tories in awkward position
Bruce Fitch has been hammering Premier Brian Gallant for attending Liberal fundraisers in Calgary, Vancouver
Federal interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose was preaching Tory togetherness during a visit to New Brunswick, but the close embrace may put her provincial PC allies in an awkward position.
Ambrose's Friday schedule included a $75-per-person fundraising dinner in Woodstock for the federal party's Tobique-Mactaquac riding association.
Several provincial Progressive Conservative MLAs, including interim leader Bruce Fitch attended the event, even though it's the same kind of fundraiser for which they've been criticizing Premier Brian Gallant.
On Friday afternoon in Fredericton, Ambrose mistakenly said the fundraiser was "a combined event to support both the provincial and the federal party."
- Premier defends practice of fundraising on public-funded trips
- Liberal Party fundraiser piggybacks on taxpayer-funded meeting
Fitch's office quickly corrected that, telling CBC News it was a fundraiser for the federal party only.
But the invitation for the event didn't make that distinction. It featured both the federal and provincial party logos, and photos of both Ambrose and Fitch.
"One of the things that I have tried to do is bring the federal party closer to our provincial counterparts. … Bruce Fitch and I are going to have a dinner together and show collaboration."
Fitch's PC opposition at the legislature has relentlessly criticized Gallant for attending fundraisers for the New Brunswick Liberals in Calgary and Vancouver.
Both Liberal fundraisers took place while Gallant was travelling on taxpayer-funded government business.
Gallant has defended gathering party donations on the side, saying "It's a normal thing for any political party to do fundraisers across the country or in the province."
Liberal fundraiser criticized
The PCs have also criticized a New Brunswick Liberal fundraiser held in Fredericton in February.
It featured Gallant, the premiers of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and several federal Liberal cabinet ministers, who were in the city for government meetings.
At the time, Prince Edward Island Premier Wade MacLaughlan and Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil both said they were attending the fundraiser in their spare time, the same explanation Ambrose's office provided Friday.
The federal Conservative leader was attending the Woodstock dinner "on her own time," her communications director Mike Storeshaw said in a Friday email.
He confirmed Ambrose's trip was taxpayer-funded because most of her events were in her role of leader of the Official Opposition in the House of Commons.
That included visiting a Red Cross call centre in Fredericton where employees were helping Fort McMurray residents displaced by the forest fire there and participating in a fundraiser for a family who lost their home in the fire.
Fundy Royal campaign targets middle class with focus on jobs

MP John Williamson and MLA Bill Oliver want immediate action from Ottawa
How long would they wring their hands if he abandoned his car in the middle of the road?
Companies exist in SJ that could do it in an afternoon. Or use the coast guard boats as a training exercise.
Sell it for costs. It should still have most of it's value. Even the electronics may have survived a dunking in mostly fresh water.
"Last month, an official with Transport Canada said if the boat wasn't removed by the owner by April 30, it would be "deemed as abandoned under the Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act, and the owner could face enforcement actions, including monetary penalties."
This week, Transport Canada spokesperson Katherine Proulx said a department official made a visit Wednesday to Not a Starship to "assess the situation." She was asked for more details about the assessment but has not yet responded. "
I pay taxes, therefore I am connected?
The Trans minister means; we don't care, sounds like work.
N.B. premier raises money in Western Canada as election looms
Liberal leader says it’s ‘a terrible time’ for Higgs to do fundraising outside the province
Premier Blaine Higgs spent part of his week outside New Brunswick rustling up much-needed cash for his Progressive Conservative party as he ponders the possibility of an election call as early as three months from now.
Higgs travelled to British Columbia and Alberta for meet-and-greet events, inviting participants to donate to the New Brunswick PC party.
"There is no ticket price to attend this event. However, it is a fundraising event in support of Premier Higgs, so any and all donations are very much appreciated!" said the web pages for the two events.
A third event, scheduled for Toronto's tony Albany Club on Feb. 8, has a ticket price of $250 to attend a reception with Higgs and $1,000 for the reception plus a dinner.
PC campaign manager Steve Outhouse posted a photo on social media Tuesday showing Higgs speaking to a crowd of people in a large room in Abbotsford, B.C. (Steve Outhouse/Twitter)
Liberal Leader Susan Holt said Higgs should not be leaving New Brunswick for partisan events while health-care challenges and homelessness are reaching crisis points.
"I think it's a terrible time for him to be out of the province," she said Wednesday.
"If he wants to be listening to people, I suggest it's not a hundred people at the Ranchmen's Club in Calgary but a hundred people on the ground in our health-care system right now, or maybe a hundred people on the ground who are working to house people."
The Tories could use the money.
The Tories reported an accumulated surplus of $431,160.14 as of last June 30, according to their most recent public financial return. The Liberals had $228,011.62 and the Greens reported $95,438.58.
Elections New Brunswick estimates that parties that run candidates in all 49 ridings in this year's election will have a spending limit of $1.4 million — meaning each of the three parties can spend more than what they had last June, if they can raise it.

The next provincial election is scheduled for Oct. 21, but Higgs has not ruled out an early election in the spring. The government will introduce the provincial budget March 19.
The PC party already spent an undisclosed amount of its war chest in late 2023 when Higgs considered calling a fall campaign.
Organizers booked a bus and outfitted it with PC branding and a large photo of Higgs before the premier finally decided to wait until 2024 to go to the polls.
The party has ramped up its out-of-province fundraising in the last six months.
It created a "Help Higgs Win" website that promotes parts of Higgs's record that appeal to conservatives nationally, including balanced budgets, his support for the Canadian oil and gas sector and his embrace of "parental rights" as an issue.
St. Thomas University political scientist Jamie Gillies said the Tories "want to capitalize on maybe what they see as the premier as a poster child for some of these issues in conservative movements across the country."
But Gillies says the appeal is a turn away from the moderate PC tradition in New Brunswick and could backfire at the polls.
"Certainly it's out of character for Maritime politics," he said.
PC Party president Erika Hachey and executive director Doug Williams did not respond to an interview request about the fundraising.

New Brunswick is one of a handful of jurisdictions that allows provincial political parties to raise money outside the province's boundaries.
Holt said she held one fundraising event in Toronto shortly after becoming Liberal leader but has no other such events planned for outside New Brunswick.
The premier's travel to Alberta and B.C. was paid by the party, not taxpayers.
The invitation to donate points out that corporate and union donations are not allowed and that the maximum allowable donation by an individual is $3,000.
PC campaign manager Steve Outhouse posted a photo on social media Tuesday showing Higgs speaking to a crowd of people in a large room in Abbotsford, B.C.
"The work Premier Higgs is doing in New Brunswick is having an impact and is appreciated across the country," he said.
Outhouse said in the post that about 100 people attended the event but he didn't say how much money was raised.
The PC party also held a "Victory Circle" fundraising reception in Fredericton last week and is promoting a $50-per-ticket roundtable discussion with Finance Minister Ernie Steeves in Penniac, north of the capital, later this month.
Money in the bank in the year before an election isn't necessarily a predictor of a winning election campaign.
In June 2017, the PCs were saddled with a six-figure debt and had just $20,260 in cash on hand, compared to more than $2 million for the Liberals.
Yet 15 months later, the Tories won one more seat than their opponents in the 2018 election and have held power ever since.
Like my father used to say " be careful what you wish for"!
Let the best person win.
There are so many jokes in that, one does not know where to start.
