Say what you want about its feasibility, NBers like trains, and many are nostalgic about trains, this could push the green party first past the post in Fredericton North, as it's currently the only race outside their three incumbents where the Greens stand a good chance win a seat.
This map is a best case electoral outcome for both the Liberals and Greens. If I had to put money on it, I think the Liberals will win a very slim majority of 25. They may even look to — to be the next speaker in order to have a more stable government. I have a feeling — would accept this, as he's almost 70, and being the first Green Speaker in the history of NB would not only further legitimize what he's accomplished with the Green party, it would be the perfect time to pass off the torch of the party leadership to someone new— likely Megan Mitton.
A slim majority for the Liberals remains far more likely than a minority situation, but it's still very much possible. This is shaping up to be an even closer, and far more interesting election than even the 2018 election.
Hopefully we get some new polling data soon.

This is quite the fantasy post. You have only rural anglophone going blue. Do you even think this is a possibility? I've never seen someone so desperate coming up with all this junk, to try and convince people to vote your way. I mean it's all propaganda at this point to convince people. Typical leftist tactic.
There is no way that the greens are picking up a seat or two because of trains. That is the farthest thing from people minds. What were you thinking?
