Home > New Brunswick general election, 2003

 
Starting out as a predicted landslide for Bernard Lord's Progressive Conservatives, the New Brunswick general election, 2003 quickly turned around when Shawn Graham, leader of the Liberal Party of New Brunswick, took on auto insurance rates as a cause.

People in the province had seen their car insurance rates skyrocket, and the Liberal Party of New Brunswick focussed their campaign on three points:

  1. improved universal healthcare,
  2. keeping the power utility NB Power as a public, crown corporation, and
  3. the lowering of auto insurance rates.

The Liberals ran a virtually flawless campaign, whereas Lord and his PC Party faced a number of problems, especially with their position on the key issue of auto insurance which changed several times during the 30 day campaign.

New Democratic Party of New Brunswick leader, Elizabeth Weir, was the only member of her party to win a seat.
