New Brunswick election called as Higgs looks to stay in power

New Brunswickers are headed to the polls. Premier Blaine Higgs made the announcement this morning after visiting Lt.-Gov. Brenda Murphy at her official residence in Fredericton. Under the province’s fixed-date election law, the vote will take place on Oct. 21. “New Brunswick has come a long way since we were first elected in 2018,” Higgs, who is seeking a third term, told reporters. He went on to say that his government had reduced provincial debt, had record spending on health care, and brought in more doctors and collaborative care centres. Silas Brown reports.
