From the Frank McKenna years right up to Susan Holt’s premiership, a new book to be published by the University of Toronto Press will examine New Brunswick’s political history so far this century.
Politicians, academics, students and members of the public gathered at Mount Allison University on Saturday for a workshop about New Brunswick’s political past, present and future. Feedback from the attendees will be used to guide the development of the upcoming book, New Brunswick Politics: A Canadian Microcosm.
“This is, hopefully, the first edited volume on New Brunswick politics across time,” said Jamie Gillies, a political scientist from St. Thomas University who co-hosted Saturday’s event.

The book will look at the challenges New Brunswick has faced over the past 25 years, from housing and development, to what lessons other provinces can learn from the decisions made by New Brunswick politicians.
