Depsite the fact that the NDP won this seat in 1997, Beausejour really has to be one of the safest Liberal seats in the country, outside of English-speaking Montreal. |

Vautour was a single-issue candidate in 1997: employment insurance. Anybody remember her screaming rant at a meeting causing the NDP to ask her to run? She happened to hit the right buttons, and to everyone's surprise pulled out a victory. EI's run its course, and her term as MP was not very effective to say the least. Moreover, just like southwestern New Brunswick is a Tory hotbed, the Beausejour region is a Liberal hotbed, and Dominic LeBlanc (son of former GG Romeo) is immensely popular. Jean Chretien held this riding before 1993. Easy Liberal hold. |

The CPC's candidate, Angela Vautour is a joke. She started as a provincial NDP member, and ran in the 1997 federal election as a New Democrat. The party, obviously did not expect to run the riding, had they, they may have run a backround check. She bailed, and joined another party. Not the Liberals, as logic would dictate, but the PC Party. She even went so far as to run for the PC Party in 2000, losing, of course. Her nomination will hurt, not help the party in this riding. |

The time the NDP won here in '97 was something of a fluke. Even with the combined vote of the former right wing parties under the Conservative party banner, the Liberals still would have won in 2000. Our feeling is that Dominic Leblanc will be re-elected and if Frank McKenna runs in this riding it will go Liberal with a huge majority. |

I'll be voting in this riding this election. The NDP once held this seat, but our MP crossed the floor and sat with the PC Party. This hurt the NDP's reputation in the riding, and her defeat in the 2000 election hurt the PC Party too. The Liberals will benifit from this, and carry the riding quite easily. There is even roumer Frank McKenna wants to run here, which would only make a Liberal Victory more obvious. |

Dominic LeBlanc should have no trouble holding this seat, especially since the riding no longer includes the very English and very conservative bastion of Albert County. |
