The
biennial convention in Saint John over the weekend of provincial
Liberals heard party leader Brian Gallant go out of his way to tie
Premier David Alward together with Prime Minister Harper.
Gallant
wonders how this relationship is benefiting the province, claiming this
close relationship between the Premier and the Prime Minister will
result in New Brunswick getting relatively less for health care,
research and skills training.
He also
calls the TV ad featuring the Premier following the announcement of the
Energy East pipeline "Harperesque" by using tax dollars to persuade
people what a good job his government is doing and how the provincial
economy is turning around. Gallant scoffs at this claim with the quip
"We turning the corner into the trenches".
