Something has changed with New Brunswick's CMHO. I appreciate it's a very challenging role, but listening today on @CBCNB , Dr. Russell sounds like a politician. I don't want our CMHO to sound like a politician. What we need is science-based, unfiltered PH recommendations.

NB municipal elections have been delayed until later in the year and that's okay. While I have chosen not to sign on for another 4-years, in this time of need for our community, I am committed to continuing to serve while I am still needed. #stability #CanadaCovid19 #nbpoli

Questioning @PierrePoilievre on policy details and charter rights protection yields only blame and slogans. After 20 years, he falls short on commitment to the marginalized. Don't be fooled by catchy phrases; they seldom lead to real change. A leader must navigate complexity,…

Regular gasoline is .19 cents cheaper per litre and diesel is .31 in Toronto today than in Saint John. We both have a carbon tax. Don't be distracted by the failure to act by the Higgs government on the cost of living relief. #timetoact

Mr. Poilievre has enjoyed dental care paid by you - the taxpayer - for nearly 20 years — but he doesn't believe seniors or your children deserve the same.  He thinks you should pay for your own dental and his.    It's callous and it's wrong.
