New Brunswick Election

[Taeolas]

For me, balancing the budget and the budget spending in general isn't a factor for me unless it gets REALLY bad (and to date, I don't think any party has ever spent so badly I'd consider it that far).

On the other hand, Higgs has cut back or not invested so much on basic and essential services through the years (education and health being the biggest but other areas as well), that these "Surprise! Suddenly Surplus!" are just salt on the wounds when he's been claiming poor to avoid hiring teachers and nurses and raising salaries of unions an appropriate amount.

The social tactics he's been doing especially in the past year or two as well have also greatly soured me to him and his party. I've got a number of trans friends (none in province) and a gay sister, and the tactics he's been using to stomp on those rights just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

So yeah, as far as I'm concerned, I'm an ABC vote at the moment, that will probably be Liberal in the end.
