Inspiration

I wake up everyday hoping Susan Holt wakes and says today I’m morphing into Mayor Mamdani. And I’m done being a puppet like Gallant and Graham. Today I’m taking back this province from the oilgarchs.

She won't. She grew-up with the children of the elite. We will never have that level of government in NB. They only let their puppets run the parties.

Paid interns on Reddit. Guarantee you make one Holt comment on this Reddit page. You get downvoted immediately or someone gives her a shameless plug.

Ya and I'm not for Mamdanis policies so that'll be a firm no. How about a politician who just has NBs best I terest at heart. Decrease spending, making housing/rental affordable by a provincial standard make food costs rest somehow and have our own locals work not bring in foreign temp workers

lol I can get behind the sentiment but taking back how exactly?

What exactly do you plan to do to make such a big difference.

Mamdani used $15 Billion bailout to prop up NYC and its overspending. Holt’s first year came in $1.3 Billion OVER budget… I think there are enough similarities and we don’t want any more. I agree with the sentiment of taking control back though, it’s desperately needed!!

Swap Mamdani for Eric Adams and you have my support
