I'm not one to use this word lightly, but Higgs really is treading more and more towards fascist territory. Replacing ministers at-will for disagreements, consolidation of power, outrights lies ("stating he’s done a lot for the French-speaking parts of the province") and the ever-present secrecy and lack of transparency. Imagine outright saying, as an elected representative, that you need a place to "feel free to talk about [politics] and not have it become a public event afterwards". You represent the public, we pay your wages, you make decisions that influence our lives massively, and yet we don't deserve to know the direction your government is heading?
The outright disdain Higgs has for the population is outstanding, even for the standards of an Irving-bought politician in NB. I can't remember a premier who didn't suck, but none of them has been as brazen and flagrant as Higgsy-boy.
Agreed, but I still don't understand why he took a sudden dive into the deep end. He seemed more pragmatic before. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a legitimate medical or psychological issue that cropped up recently.
