It’s anticipated the writ period will kick off Thursday morning when Premier Blaine Higgs visits the lieutenant-governor, launching a four-week campaign against a backdrop of political controversy and divisive topics.Of the major parties, Higgs’ Progressive Conservative Party holds 25 seats, the Liberal Party headed by Susan Holt has 16 seats and David Coon’s Green Party has three seats.According to a Narrative Research poll released on Aug. 23, Holt remains most preferred as premier.
A major fracture in the PC party had occurred over Higgs’ decision to change the province’s policy on gender identity in schools: Policy 713.The new rules require students to get parental consent before teachers can use their preferred names and pronouns. Several members — including cabinet ministers — publicly dissented against Higgs’ leadership over the file, leading the premier to the precipice of calling an early election.
When asked last week about strategic voting and vote splitting, Green Leader Coon said it’s not something he worries about.
