You could say that this Conservative leader is finding, as is Premier Doug Ford in Ontario, that power isn’t simply a numbers game when it comes to constitutional law and convention. Could smaller parties, for instance, become kingmakers in 2019 as they are in New Brunswick in the fall of 2018? Certainly, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is seeing possibilities. New Brunswick’s results also might prove encouraging to Maxime Bernier, leader of the newly formed People’s Party of Canada, whose breakaway movement shares more than a similar name with New Brunswick’s People’s Alliance. Nor is this the first time that New Brunswick has produced election results for the history books.
