On Tuesday, October 8, the Mount Allison Students’ Union hosted a forum for candidates vying to represent the Tantramar riding in the New Brunswick provincial legislature.

MASU Vice President External Lucy Rae introduced the forum, which was moderated by Mount Allison politics professor Dr. Mario Levesque. Four of five candidates for Tantramar were present to answer questions. Bruce Phinney, running for the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick, was not available due to a scheduling conflict. The other candidates present were: John Higham for the Liberal Party of New Brunswick, Donna Allen for the Libertarian Party of New Brunswick, Evelyne Godfrey for the New Brunswick New Democratic Party, and Megan Mitton for the Parti Vert N.B. Green Party.

Thanks to local reporter Bruce Wark for recording the event.
