New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs will not resign, despite festering dissention within the Progressive Conservative Party he helms, and intends to seek another mandate in 13 months, he affirmed on social media.

“This question has become increasingly relevant with the internal dissent that our government has experienced in the last six months,” Mr. Higgs said in a statement posted to X.
