Deja vu all over again
Living in New Brunswick is like being in that Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day as you could swear that this is the third go around where the Graham government has claimed to have the road map to the future prosperity of our province. Only thing different this time around is they didn't move the self-sufficiency timeline ahead to 2027. Although I see they are playing around with the commitment date for their population targets. I guess that's what you get when you never really had a plan. Anyway, carry on as you were.

No one wants to consider it because its not politically correct but seriously make adoption a more desirable options for those considering abortion. More than a 1000 babies are aborted every year in NB so to not even consider strategies to try and reduce that number is frankly missing out on one way to help achieve that 100,000 number in 20 years.
That's definitely a problem. But if no party has the political will to adopt a clear position on abortion, then the public (private citizens) will be left to pick up the slack. Which is what seems to be happening in our province.
Not just our province. No mainstream or quasi-mainstream party in the country will touch this one with a ten foot pole.
Regardless, this wouldn't take a Party taking a stand for or against abortion anyway. They would merely be getting rid of barricades to other options. If pro-choice is indeed the goal and that isn't simply a mantra for pro-abortion, it should be a no brainer to get behind and at the same time New Brunswick gets a jumpstart on the 100,000.
The bottom line is that birth rates are dropped incrementally in this province over the last two decades. So even if the province does decrease the amount of abortions, which they should, they still have to find additional industry clusters around the province so that families feel comfortable [economically] to have that extra kid.
I'm going to step out on a limb here and suggest raising taxes doesn't do that. :)
Ha! Ha! No doubt.
