New Brunswick Liberal Party leader Susan Holt is set to become the next premier of the province after her party won a total of 31 seats, with a 13% lead in the popular vote.

Incumbent Progressive Conservative Party leader and now former Premier, Blaine Higgs, lost his seat, as his party was reduced to 16 seats. 

Higgs told his supporters that he would be discussing a leadership transition process shortly. 

It’s the first time in ten years that New Brunswick voters have elected a Liberal government. This comes after a period of significant Liberal losses in Ontario, Western Provinces, and the ongoing polling struggles of the federal Liberals.

A caucus revolt inspired by the progressive spirit of the PC party, erupted when Higgs announced changes to gender ideology policy, known as Policy 713 in public schools. 

This change meant that students under the age of 16 would not be allowed to change their name, pronouns, and gender identity officially at school without parental consent. 

When Liberal-PC members revolted, Premier Higgs pushed them out of the cabinet, and they failed to trigger a leadership review before the election. 

Justin Trudeau also voiced the matter by saying, “I don’t think we should be trying to score political points off kids who are incredibly vulnerable”. 

Higgs’ policy also brought condemnation from groups like the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA), mainstream media, the CBC, Trans groups, and more progressive voices in what can be described as a woke tsunami in the Atlantic Provence. 

This prompted Pierre Poilievre to tell the Prime Minister to “butt out” of provincial issues.
