Today in Canada's Political History - March 1, 1954: Happy birthday Blaine Higgs!

  • National Post

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs is celebrating his big day today. Born in Woodstock, New Brunswick in 1954, he is turning a milestone 70. A veteran Tory cabinet minister first elected to the New Brunswick Legislature in 2010, he assumed his province’s top political job in 2018. From the more conservative wing of his party, his tenure has often been a rocky one.

Happy birthday Premier Higgs!
