That can be changed.
Regardless, it doesn’t mean it’s not ridiculous to constantly bring up and blame Trudeau and the federal liberals for responsibilities of the provincial government that Higgs has done a terrible job on. It’s just lazy, partisan politics that holds the entire province back.
Holt shouldn’t be pay the price for Trudeau’s sins, while Higgs has been a negligent premier for the past 6 years on key provincial responsibilities like healthcare, housing, and tax reform. Trudeau isn’t to blame for most of the systemic problems facing NB today, Higgs is!
