Wise decision. Hopefully the Liberals will never again darken the doorstep of the great little province of NB.

Lesley Juniper
@David Allan How come the popular vote only matters when liberals lose?
David R. Amos
@Lesley Juniper Methinks that tally only matters to the losers no matter the colour to their coat N'esy Pas?
Kyle Doherty
He can have coffee dates with Wynne every day now and tell tales of scandals and duping their provinces into bankruptcy with social programs.
David R. Amos
@Kyle Doherty Methinks many would agree that Mr Higgs and Mr Ford should join them N'esy Pas?

Justin, are you taking notes? This will be you after your devastating defeat that will be handed to you by Andrew Scheer's winning Conservative government next October.

.. Trudeau"s canary in the coal mine.
David R. Amos
@reg jones Methinks many would agree that provincial politicking is irrelevant to the Feds Trudeau the Younger's overseers are no doubt is banking on the NDP collapse and the sneaky lawyer Maxime splitting the vote on the right N'esy Pas?
Luke Armstrong
I guess NB'ers will never know the truth about the Gallant Gov. property tax scandal.
Mack Leigh
@Luke Armstrong : Wonder if we will ever find out the truth about the Francophonie Game scandal... Smells of collusion and corruption..
David R. Amos
@Luke Armstrong Methinks the Irving Clan will make certain that never happens N'esy Pas?
David R. Amos
@Mack Leigh Methinks the will be no Francophonie Game scandal if Higgs puts stop to it N'esy Pas?

Bye Brian SANB has spoken, now Higgs needs to start an investigation to find out where the millions already spent on the games went.
David R. Amos
@Mario Doucet Methinks the SANB spin doctors are slow on the draw today N'esy Pas?

Great news. Let’s hope Trudeau is the next liberal to step down.

@Cameron James
Too early to predict!!! but if he doesn't, Trudeau is going to get another MANDATE!!!

@Paul Bourgoin agreed, when Scheer is the best the Con's got, that means another 4 years of JT.

@Paul Bourgoin
Learn what a mandate is.
Mulroney was the last PM to have one.

@David Allan Methinks Harper won a mandate in 2011 N'esy Pas?
Shirley Witt
I found it strange how he was bent on staying in power even though he was one seat behind, he should have been more honourable!
Jack Forester
@Shirley Witt There is no honor among thieves.
David R. Amos
@Shirley Witt Methinks Gallant like all lawyers know when it comes to politicking or anything else honour is not an issue N'esy Pas?
Mario Doucet
Key player in the francophonie games scam.
David R. Amos
@Mario Doucet Methinks Dominic Leblanc is every bit a player in the francophonie games that Gallant was N'esy Pas?
Brian Gallant quits as leader of Liberal Party
Former premier says he'll step down at next caucus meeting
Former premier Brian Gallant says he'll step down as leader of the Liberal Party earlier than planned.
He made the announcement Friday afternoon at a news conference at the Hampton Inn in Moncton.
Gallant said he will resign at the party's next caucus meeting, when an interim leader will be chosen.
But he said he will stay on as MLA for Shediac Bay-Dieppe. He wouldn't say if he would stay on as an MLA until the next election.
Gallant said he will stay neutral on who should be the next Liberal leader.
Gallant, who tried to form a minority government after the Sept. 24 election, already announced his intention to resign when his government was defeated in the legislature and the Progressive Conservatives took over.
At the time, he said he would stay on as leader until the party found a replacement, which it hasn't done.
In a prepared statement Friday, Gallant suggested he was stepping up his departure as leader to nudge the party into arranging to elect a new leader.
Premier Blaine Higgs appears to be governing as if he has a majority, Gallant said, and as a result, the PC government might fall over its first budget.
"It is therefore, that much more important that I make it clear to the Liberal Party that I will not be reoffering," he said in the statement.
At the news conference, Gallant thanked New Brunswickers for the opportunity to serve the province.
He said he will continue to contribute to the betterment of the province but in other ways.
He has "no plans at the moment."
Gallant became Liberal leader in 2012. He won a majority government in 2014, defeating David Alward's Progressive Conservatives.
He made the announcement Friday afternoon at a news conference at the Hampton Inn in Moncton.
