New Brunswick / Nouveau-Brunswick

This warms my heart. Thank you to PC party leadership for finally standing against this hateful man. Better late than never.

My favourite part of the article:

Asked what the odds were of the province heading into an early election, Higgs told reporters, "I don't play the odds, actually. I don't. So, I'm not going to delve into an election philosophy."

"I don't play the odds" gives me big "data my ass" vibes. I hope we data his ass out of office ASAP.

Ottawa (June 14, 2023) - Today, 39 queer, trans, human rights, labour and educational organizations from across Canada have released an Open Letter to Defend 2SLGBTQIA+ Students in New Brunswick and call on Premier Higgs to reverse his attack on vulnerable students. Standing with students, parents and families, the letter calls on the Premier to reverse the weakened Policy 713, uphold human rights codes, and end the cruel campaign against 2SLGTBQIA+ New Brunswickers.

And a conservative Christian group based in British Columbia says the debate is a test case for its efforts to roll back school LGBTQ policies across the country.

"Provinces across the country are paying attention to what's going on in New Brunswick because these decisions will affect the rest of the country," said Tanya Gaw, the founder of Action4Canada, which has been flooding New Brunswick MLAs with emails.

"I believe that this program needs to be eradicated from the school system nationwide," Gaw said in an interview.

Amazing, NB leading the way back into the middle ages! I hope these right-wing nutjobs get the definitive kick to the curb that they need in order to finally disappear into the mists of history.
