A sign on the outskirts of the New Maryland riding near Fredericton probably best sums up the peculiar nature of the New Brunswick election campaign, which ends today. The casual passer-by might be somewhat taken aback by this message.
Subsequent messages clear up the mystery.
The Liberal counter to this poster is equally baffling. It says simply that professional engineers build safe highways. The interchange is a hot issue in this riding and it's illustrative of the nature of the four-week election campaign which ends today with voting across New Brunswick. Local issues have made this seem more like 55 byelections rather than one general election. Local grievances are expected to cost the Liberals seats in today's election, although how many is an open question in what has been a tight race.
