In this episode, we take a dive into New Brunswick's political landscape in 2024. From major policy shifts and election results to grassroots movements and community-driven initiatives, we cover the highs, lows, and everything in between.

Join us as we analyze the key moments that defined the year and discuss what they mean for the province's future. Plus, we peer into the political crystal ball to explore what 2025 might hold for New Brunswick’s government, parties, and people.

This week we had the opportunity to speak with long-time listener Vivian Unger who has reached out to us to discuss her role with Fair Vote Canada and the Liberal Party of New Brunswick. Vivian actually passed a resolution to have the Liberal Party do a citizens' assembly on proportional representation so this is a timely conversation for the New Brunswick political landscape. Let's get into it!

We are glad to have our former guest and friend Jerry Iwwanus back on the show this week for a must-hear conversation about transforming our tax system in New Brunswick. Jerry just released his new book titled Taxing New Brunswick: An Insiders Guide To Successfully Challenging Your NB Property Tax Assessment. Jerry leans on his experience in the industry, both in the private assessment side of things and recently as an employee of the government of New Brunswick. He was also a former mayor from Alberta where he has developed a strong perspective on tax systems. Our conversation will be aimed at the promise of tax reform made by the Holt government and we will chat about the nuances to the issue as well as the legislative difficulties behind it.
