It was a good day on this date in 1991 if you were a New Brunswick Liberal as Premier Frank McKenna and his team earned another majority mandate from their province’s citizens. This followed their historic 1987 victory that saw McKenna’s party win every seat in the New Brunswick Legislature. He would be re-elected for a third time in 1995.  Two years later, he resigned as Premier ten-years-to-the day of his first victory. The official website of the New Brunswick Legislature describes McKenna’s provincial legacy the following way: “As Premier he focused on job creation and government reform in New Brunswick. He aggressively promoted the province's small and medium-sized businesses and continually sought new investment for the province. He initiated a sweeping overhaul of the government in order to reduce the number and size of its departments. His efforts led to surplus budgets and a reduction in the provincial debt. He also reformed the province's social programs as well as the education and health care sectors.” After provincial politics, Frank McKenna served as Canada’s Ambassador to the United States and today serves as Deputy Chairman of TD Bank. caption id="attachment_583782" align="alignleft" width="518" Frank McKenna/caption Arthur Milnes is an accomplished public historian and award-winning journalist.  He was research assistant on The Rt.
