  • 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.

  • Heritage Group Seeks Permanent Spot to Showcase Wares
    Heritage group seeks permanent spot to showcase wares By ADAM BOWIE ([email protected]) Published Monday February 18th, 2008 (Appeared on page A4) The Fredericton North Heritage Association and the Fredericton Heritage Trust helped transport people back to the good old days at Saturday's Celebration of Our Heritage and Music event. The event, which was held in concert with New Brunswick's Heritage Week, attracted dozens of residents to Nashwaaksis Middle School. Participants listened to music from the past, looked through antique photographs, cheered on a group of square dancers and discussed the benefits of celebrating the community's rich heritage. Ernest MacFadzen, a volunteer with the Fredericton North Heritage Association, said he was happy with the number of people who showed up to take part in the event. "I'd rather see it filled," he said. "But there are a lot of things going on. You're going against Winterfest and a number of other events happening in the area." MacFadzen said the city needs to help the association celebrate Fredericton's heritage. "What the Fredericton North Heritage Association would like to have is a place to put all of this stuff," he said. "If (the city is) going to build a building, they could give us some space there so we can have something. Now we're lugging it all back home and then we have to lug it out again ... We're not saying you have to build a first-class museum, but they could set aside an area. Maybe with the election coming up, they'll talk about it at least." Rick Myles, Liberal MLA for Fredericton-Silverwood, and deputy mayor Norah Davidson-Wright accepted heritage plaques from the heritage organizations for work the two levels of government did to save the city's historic York House.
