Not sure I follow. This is a PC (star) candidate talking about the importance of electing non-Liberal (i.e., PC) North Shore MLAs with pretty standard talking points about getting 'a seat at the table' and not having their votes taken for granted by Liberals.
I don't think it matters either way. Bathurst was the closest northern riding by a country mile (L 51, PC 35) in 2020, under the new boundaries but it's probably not winnable this year. Hell, the new Champdore-Irishtown was PC 42, L 41, and the new Moncton East was only L 39, PC 32 and they're not really gunning for either (or Moncton Centre, which they actually won 39-30) AFAIK.
