Leaders Set to Hit the Debate Stage

Leaders set to hit the debate stage New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal (Print Edition)·Tom Bateman CA|September 02, 2020·08:00am Section: A·Page: A1 Party leaders will share a stage four times starting this Thursday when Brunswick News and Rogers host the campaign’s first debate in Fredericton at 7 p.m. It marks the start of the debate phase of the snap election campaign. Brunswick News editor-in-chief Jackson Doughart called leaders’ debates “the highlight of an election campaign.” “We are excited to partner with Rogers to bring voters a great opportunity to hear from the candidates vying to become the next premier,” he said. NDP Leader Mackenzie Thomason and Gerald Bourque, the leader of the KISS NB Party, will feature in the Rogers debate, in accordance with a policy that sees invites go out to the leaders of each registered party in the province, said Rogers TV producer Jeff Despres. Next week, the leaders of the four parties currently sitting in the legislature – Blaine Higgs (Progressive Conservative), Kevin Vickers (Liberal), David Coon (Green party) and Kris Austin (People’s Alliance) – will all attend: • Pre-taped forums in French and in English, hosted by l’Acadie Nouvelle, Radio-Canada and CBC on Wednesday, Sept. 9. The leaders will be asked about their vision on a variety of topics, based on questions posed by journalists and voters. • A leaders’ roundtable hosted by CTV anchor Steve Murphy on Sept. 10. Thomason will attend the Sept. 9 events, but didn’t get an invite to the CTV debate because it was restricted to parties with seats in the Legislature, spokesperson Nathan Davis said. “We haven’t been invited to participate in any others that I am aware of. Mackenzie’s work schedule (overnight rotations) have added an extra layer of complication that the other leaders do not have to contend with,” he said. Different challenges for leaders In light of recent polls projecting a Tory majority is within Higgs’s grasp, Université de Moncton political scientist Roger Ouellette said the French event in particular is an opportunity for Higgs to reach Francophones who could be convinced to vote PC, in order to see their ridings represented in cabinet. Ouellette said there are examples of strong francophone PC candidates, many of them women, running in ridings that have a history of flipping to the party tracking to make government. The professor pointed to Diane Carey in Tracadie-Sheila, Marie-Eve Castonguay in Madawaska-les-Lacs-Edmundston, and Jean-Gérard Chiasson in Shippagan-Lamèque- Miscou as three examples of such ridings. “If I were to give some advice to Higgs at the French debate, I’d say try to be nice, smile and give your hand to the Francophones. Try to be more cozy,” Ouellette suggested. Because it’s a forum and not a pure debate format, it will be easier for Higgs to stay on message, he suggested. For Kevin Vickers, it’s the opposite challenge. Ouellette said his task will be to appeal to voters in the southern part of the province while fending off attacks from both Higgs and Coon, whose Green party could disrupt the Liberal vote share like it did in 2018. .

P. Lewis, Department of Political Science, University of New Brunswick, St John Thomas M. J. Bateman, Department of Political Science, Saint Thomas University Abstract: New Brunswick’s 2018 election produced a minority legislature, the first in a century. The major parties continue to decline in voter support, and two new parties now have a presence in the Assembly. The election brings New Brunswick’s electoral politics increasingly into the modern Canadian mainstream; one new caucus is the Greens. In other respects, the election made the old new again. The populist People’s Alliance gained three seats partly on the basis of criticism of bilingualism policy. The Alliance and the Progressive Conservatives, in an informal alliance to govern, are all but confined to the anglophone parts of the province, while the defeated Liberals have all their strength in the Acadian north-east. The campaign mattered, as did constitutional conventions. The Liberals squandered a large lead in the polls, and the parties struggled to sort out the conventions of government formation. Résumé L’élection provinciale au Nouveau-Brunswick en 2018 a mené à la formation d’une législature minoritaire, une première en près de 100 ans. Les partis majoritaires continuent de voir leur soutien décliner au sein de l’électorat et deux nouveaux partis sont désormais présents à l'Assemblée.

N.B. NDP in Race to Fill Party's Ranks
9 juillet 2018 – Times & Transcript N.B. NDP in race to fill party’s ranks ADAM HURAS LEGISLATURE BUREAU A major political party appears on the verge of not being able to nominate a candidate in each riding ahead of the provincial election, despite insisting it still can get a full slate on the ballot in the weeks ahead. The New Brunswick NDP have 13 of its 49 candidates in place, currently 36 away from a full slate. The parties have until Sept. 4 - 20 days before the provincial election - to register candidates with Elections NB. That’s now less than 60 days away. It’s raising a debate over who is the strongest provincial party outside of the big two. A complete list of provincial election candidates nominated as of Friday has been compiled by Brunswick News.It will be updated online each week until the writ is expected to drop in late August. It shows that the Liberals already have 47 of 49 candidates in place. Meanwhile, the Progressive Conservatives are close behind with 41 candidates selected to carry the party banner. “We started late,” said New Democrat Leader Jennifer McKenzie, who became party leader last August. “We have a lot of capacity building to do and we’re going at breakneck speed.” McKenzie said the nomination process is “one part of the activity needed to get ready for the election campaign,”but she insists the party can field 49 candidates. The New Democrats had two nomination conventions on Wednesday night and another one on Thursday. 9 juillet 2018 – Times & Transcript The party ran candidates in all ridings in the 2014 and 2010 provincial elections,the only party outside of the Grits and Tories to do so.
