Absolutely, but what needs to follow is the start of massive investments into the communities that were most plagued by the drug and homelessness crises. Higgs talks a big talk in terms of cracking down on drug use, but he avoids talking about what he plans to to make housing more affordable, healthcare more accessible, and our city’s more livable.
He’s been in power for 6 years and the best we are getting is a bunch of dog whistles and a promise to cut PST by 2%.
Higgs has no concrete vision for the future of our cities, just more empty promises. Holt at least has a hopeful vision for NB and its cities, and a willingness to invest in infrastructure and initiatives to make our cities more desirable places to live. These problems will continue to plague our cities if our municipalities remain critically underfunded as they have under the Higgs PCs. Higgs won’t even deliver on comprehensive tax reform… why should we believe he’ll deliver on forced rehab and cleaning up our streets when he’s already had 6 years in office. The homelessness and drug epidemic has never been as worse in NB as it has been under the Higgs government.
