New Brunswick head to the polls Monday after a brief provincial election campaign notable for the unusual steps candidates had to take to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.Thanks to health and hygiene rules, there were no handshakes, no kissing of babies, no rallies and no community barbecues.Much of the low-key campaign was conducted on social media, though there was some door-to-door campaigning — all done at a safe distance.Progressive Conservative Premier Blaine Higgs — who often wore a full face shield while on the hustings — called the election only 21 months into his first term, saying his minority government wasn’t stable enough.He told voters he needed a majority to govern a province initially left reeling by the pandemic.Anything.
