New Brunswick votes out old racist white man Irving Oil Higgs! Bruce Teel: “Another corrupt Conservative bites the dust. Next, Poilievre, Moe, Ford, Smith. Vote them all out.”

@PMBowell:

Blaine Higgs just changed his pronouns to has/been Tweet of 2024!

@Lisab09231:

Hey New Brunswick – your turn.
Let’s try to wrap it up in one day, okay?

~

New Brunswick understood the assignment.
Congratulations Madame Premier.
Bye bye Higgs. Take your hate with you.

Martin Z. Olszynski @molszyns:

So, if I’ve done the maths right & BC holds, then nominally “progressive” parties are 3:0 in the most recent slate of provincial elections: MB, BC, and NB. That’s a notable trend, at least — and worth pondering.

All [eyes] on SK next.

Could it be that Canadians are (finally) growing tired of rage politics?

@DuaneBratt:

Higgs was the first Premier to demonize trans youth. First he lost members of his cabinet over it. Then he lost the election. Is this a message for Moe and Smith? Probably not, but it is good news for sexual minorities in New Brunswick today.

@andreapower4:

Delighted with the new NB Premier! A sensible choice! Happy for all my family who live in NB!

@friesen_f:

Despite Poilievre’s endorsement Blaine Higgs delivers the NB PCs the worst defeat in a generation, and the Liberals the best result since Frank McKenna.

Seems the NB voter wasn’t into pronoun policies and making women’s health less accessible.

@Mitts64:

Well, we know what NB thinks of Poilievre’s endorsement.

@littleorange64:

Let’s hope Sask follows!!!!!!

WATCH: “One thing is for sure. We know that #BlaineHiggs is no longer the Premier of this province.” – @DavidCCoon

The crowd goes wild!

Wab Kinew@WabKinew:

Congratulations Susan Holt on your historic victory. I look forward to working together to make life better for the people of our provinces. Toutes mes félicitations!

@roglfac:

Will media blame PP for the New Brunswick loss?

@ontwoopie:

And Harper is pissed!Indeed! Herr Harper’s evil scheme to destroy our charter failed!

@Sculls12:

Hallelujah! It’s about freaking time we got some good news.

@markrenaud:

Good riddance. What an abhorrent figure.

@PennyPo54201061:

OOOhoo hoo Next Doug the despicable

Peter Hickman @Pjhvan:

Higgs showed citizens that conservatives really are t there for you only themselves and their twisted Christofascist ideology

@AbbyandSadie1:

If BC is the 2nd province to not vote in a PC government I predict there will be grumbling at the federal level.
The foreign interference will be looked at more closely.
This might be another arrow shot in PP’s direction.

@BRUCETEEL:

Another corrupt Conservative bites the dust.
Next, Poilievre, Moe, Ford, Smith. Vote them all out.

@steve_boots:

You just know Scott Moe is watching in horror

Jason Scott@JasonOnTheDrums:

Nailed it Steve.

Zero chance.

Canada is not broken.
Conservatives attempts to break it are.

Repatriated Albertan@Taejonguy:

The spin the Conservatives will try on this… watching PP squirm makes it almost watchable…

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs: Old, white, Irving Oilman (for 33 years), anti-First Nations, anti-water, anti-community, anti-health, anti-environment, anti-rule of law, anti-truth frac pimp. Dolly Parton: “Greedy politicians present and past. They wouldn’t know the truth if it bit ’em in the ass.”

Irving Oilboy (for 33 years) Premier Blaine Higgs: Frac’ing is a better climate plan than carbon pricing. CAPE New Brunswick calls for permanent frac ban. Dr. Margaret McGregor: “Fracking introduces carcinogenic, mutagenic, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals into the local environment—and that has serious health repercussions.”

New Brunswick Premier Higgs pisses on UNDRIP, bullies/threatens First Nations trying to coerce them to let their territories and unceded lands be frac’d; sings about gas riches like any old conniving oilman. Stand firm, say “NO!” If Cities of Calgary and Lethbridge in Alberta can keep frac’ers out, First Nations in NB can too.
