Thank You to everyone who signed my original petition and who continues to do so as a result it was written on in the New Brunswick Media Coop. With this being the eve of the Provincial Budget I am renewing the call for Blaine Higgs to resign and we have made a new petition to grow the call for Higgs resignation across multiple platforms.
See link for Action Network:
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs recently joked at a $250 a plate dinner about whether or not he should stay on as premier for another term.
· According to the Department of Health, in 2022, approximately 74,000 New Brunswickers did not have a primary care physician.
· NB has some of the longest wait times for primary care and specialists.
· New Brunswick is the only province refusing to fund abortions outside hospitals.
· NB ranks 9th of the 10 provinces in adult literacy.
· NB Grade 8 students rank 9th in reading.
· New Brunswick's Crime Severity Index (CSI), increased by approximately 6% between 2020 and 2021 and is 29% higher than what it was 5 years ago.
· New Brunswick’s Department of Education says 37 schools displayed peak levels of carbon dioxide in testing conducted last year.
· Homelessness is rising.
· In the last two years, the cost to own a home has gone up over 50 percent in some places.
This list could go on for pages and pages, but you get the idea. New Brunswick is in crisis and Higgs and his PC Party are to blame.
If you agree that it is time for Higgs to go, please sign our petition, “Tell Premier Blaine Higgs: It’s time to resign.” And add your reasons when you sign.
