Watching this debate and realizing how bad of a speaker Jennifer McKenzie is...

Watching this debate and realizing how bad of a speaker Jennifer McKenzie is...

that's not the impression I got, but I didn't hear the beginning.

She just didn't seem well prepared and they kept having to cut her off.

[JoeyOCanada]

How did PA and Green leaders do?

David Coon was a very eloquent speaker and did well. Kris Austin just seemed out of place among the hard hitters like Gallant and Higgs.

[JoeyOCanada]

PC - 64%
PA - 60%
Liberal - 56%
Green - 48%
NDP - 43%

Actually surprised that the People's Alliance is that high for me lol

[JoeyOCanada]

So I could only get through about 25 minutes of that leaders' roundtable because I've had enough of Brian Gallant talking about Blaine Higgs' time as finance minister and constantly hearing the word "cuts" but I guess that's NB politics baby

[JoeyOCanada]

This is going to be one of the most interesting NB elections in recent memory

[JoeyOCanada]

I assume results will start to come out 7PM EST?  Any links to live stream and results ?

I'm guessing there will be a Live stream on CBC's website (or YouTube channel) or alternatively if you just want results, you can go here:

20 minutes. Hopefully we’ll know by midnight Atlantic time.

Please no I have to be up at 5:30 lol

[JoeyOCanada]

CTV projects NO MAJORITY

[JoeyOCanada]

Absolutely wild that the People's Alliance is doing so well

[JoeyOCanada]

I don't think we find out the winner tonight

[JoeyOCanada]

Dominic Cardy must be happy.

Cardy's master plan worked, he completely destroyed the NDP in NB then jumped to the PCs

[JoeyOCanada]

Brian Gallant and the Liberals will get the first chance to govern but chances are, they won't be commanding confidence of the house. I say NBers head back to the polls in 6 months, 1 year max.

[JoeyOCanada]

Apparently a Higgs staffer sent an unauthorized email to Liberal MLA Brian Kenny in an attempt to have a phonecall to "discuss the future government"

[JoeyOCanada]

The People's Alliance are now saying that they won't work with the PCs...things are getting chippy in NB

[JoeyOCanada]

Apparently Liberal MLA Donald Arsenault called PC MLA Ross Whetmore and asked him what his price would be to cross the floor but Whetmore said that he's not for sale

Why on earth would they ask a Tory who won their seat by 20 points and beat the Liberals by 30? They should have at least tried someone who could plausibly be reelected as a Liberal.

They're just grasping at straws at this point I think

[JoeyOCanada]

Andrea Anderson-Mason, PC MLA for Fundy-The Isles was also contacted by the Liberals asking what it would cost to have her cross the floor...she too said her seat is NOT FOR SALE. Brian Gallant is making himself look worse and worse.

[JoeyOCanada]

They're just grasping at straws at this point I think

Is there any chance at all of any PC legislator(-elect) moving to the Liberals?

Possibly Robert Gauvin but I highly doubt it

[JoeyOCanada]

The Liberals have fallen! Blaine Higgs will be the next Premier of New Brusnwick.
