RELATED: New Brunswick's election isn't scheduled until October – but with polls showing a tight race, party leaders plan to use the summer to kick off their campaigns. Silas Browns explains – Jun 11, 2024A former New Brunswick Progressive Conservative cabinet minister says he is coming out of retirement to run as a Liberal in the upcoming provincial election because he is “disappointed” with Tory Premier Blaine Higgs.
In a news release, Northrup says he has been following Higgs closely over the past year and doesn’t think either the premier or Scott-Wallace are serving the needs of the people of Sussex.Support for Trudeau nears ‘rock bottom’ as 68% want him to step down: Ipsos Northrup, who served four terms that included stints running the natural resources and public safety departments, says the government is “focused on distractions” while voters in the riding face flooding risks and an inadequately equipped hospital.Northrup, who was elected between 2006-2020, was an outspoken critic of Higgs’s plan in 2020 to close emergency departments in rural areas and smaller communities.
