Susan Holt & Justin Trudeau don’t believe parents need be involved in such critical discussions as gender identity, even in children as young as 4. In New Brunswick, we’ll have a safe learning environment & better mental health supports, while still respecting the parent’s role.

A growing majority of Canadians – now 72% – want to axe the tax. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should do what’s right and fair for all Canadian families trying to put food on their tables. Will the NB Liberals join us in our call to the federal government to cut carbon taxes on
