Dissident PC Member Prepares to Launch New Political Option in New Brunswick
Former Progressive Conservative member Jason Purdy plans to establish the New Brunswick Party following Daniel Allain’s PC leadership election victory.
Former Conservative Activist Mobilizes New Political Movement
Voters in New Brunswick could soon see a new political option on their ballots as Jason Purdy, a former Progressive Conservative Party member, prepares to register a centre-right organization called the New Brunswick Party. Purdy, a resident of Noonan near Fredericton, stated that his decision follows the recent PC leadership victory of Daniel Allain. Disagreeing with Allain’s vision of a socially progressive and fiscally conservative party, Purdy aims to offer an alternative for traditional conservative voters who feel unrepresented by the current leadership.
Registration Rules and Leadership Response
Under provincial electoral laws, registering a new political entity requires forming riding associations in at least 10 provincial ridings, with a minimum of 10 candidates needed to secure a spot on the election ballot. Purdy expects to complete the registration process within a month, citing initial support from a dozen organizers and interest from several hundred supporters. Should a provincial byelection be triggered for Allain—who currently does not hold a seat in the legislature—Purdy intends to run a candidate against him. For his part, Allain dismissed concerns that a new entity would divide votes, expressing confidence in his party’s existing membership strength following his victory over MLA Don Monahan.
Historical Context and Political Reactions
If successfully registered, the New Brunswick Party would mark the third Tory breakaway movement in the province over the past four decades. Previous historical splinters include the Confederation of Regions party in 1989 and the People’s Alliance in 2010. Addressing the initiative, PC caucus member Kris Austin characterized the creation of another political group as counterproductive, arguing that conservative voters must find common ground rather than risk public division. Meanwhile, Purdy emphasized that his proposed party will actively reject radical or extreme ideologies from both sides of the political spectrum.

What the Latest Strike Delay Means for the Arbec Wellness Centre Opening
Miramichi’s Arbec Wellness Centre opening is pushed to early next year following a summer electricians’ strike that added $250,000 to project costs.
Cost and Schedule Impacts
The budget for Miramichi’s new Arbec Wellness Centre has risen by approximately $250,000 following a four-week labor dispute. The project’s price tag now stands at an estimated $100.8 million, up from $100.6 million. Construction is now expected to wrap up around Jan. 22, setting up a potential move-in date in February after a two- to four-week transition period.
Strike Causes Ripple Effect
Speaking at the Sept. 29 council-in-committee meeting, CBCL Limited engineer Tim McLeod explained that the summer walkout by International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1555 caused wider scheduling disruptions. While the strike has ended, its impact extended beyond electrical work to delay mechanical and commissioning activities that relied on critical path milestones.
Facility Location
The long-awaited municipal facility is currently nearing completion off Douglastown Boulevard, situated west of Service Canada and Walmart.
