  • 5 Ridings That Will Decide Election
    20 août 2018 – Telegraph Journal 5 RIDINGS THAT WILL DECIDE ELECTION ADAM HURAS LEGISLATURE BUREAU They are the ridings that the experts believe will decide the provincial election. “Depending on what happens in about five ridings, it will be a Progressive Conservative or Liberal government,” Roger Ouellette, political science professor l’Université de Moncton said in an interview. J.P. Lewis, associate professor of politics at the University of New Brunswick added: “It feels like the most likely scenario is a close seat count.” Brunswick News asked five political watchers for the five ridings to watch over the next month leading up to the Sept. 24 vote. By no means was there a consensus. There were 14 different ridings that at least one expert included in their top five list of battlegrounds that could go one way or another. “Right now, based on the regional trends, it’s really hard to call,” MQO Research polling firm vice president Stephen Moore said. Six ridings received multiple votes. The list is heavy with Moncton and Fredericton ridings. 20 août 2018 – Telegraph Journal Meanwhile, a Saint John riding and another in the province’s northeast were cited the most as runoffs that could make or break the election for the Liberals or the Progressive Conservatives. Gabriel Arsenault, political science professor at l’Université de Moncton 1. Saint John Harbour: “It was tight last time and (incumbent MLA Ed) Doherty screwed up, so I’m putting my bets on the Tories,” Arsenault said. The Progressive Conservatives called on Doherty, the former minister in charge of Service New Brunswick, to resign amid last year’s property tax assessment fiasco.

The seminar will be held Thursday, September 23rd, at 6.30 p.m. at the Aurora Town Hall. For more information or to register for the seminar contact Marianne Fedrigoni at 905-727-0514 or via e-mail at mariannefedrigoni@sympati- co.ca. Winners tied At exactly noon Friday, two of The Auroran’s telephone lines lit up. The editor answered one, the receptionist the other. Both callers identified last week’s front page picture contest as being “reversed” and both were assured they were the first caller, according to the rules set out. So both get a non-alcoholic dinner for two at Jonathan’s, since it would be rude to call one back and say they lost when, in fact, they did- n’t. Winners were Alvin Thompson and Vicki MacNeil. Why the reversed picture? Well, since the photo was taken “from the street”, (a clue to the answer) the reflection in the window of the store across the road revealed backward lettering. The editor decided if it ran the way it was taken, it would “look wrong”, so the production department reversed the picture, making the lettering readable.
