A recount has confirmed Liberal Hugh MacKay’s win in Chester-St. Margaret’s. 90 votes separated him from New Democrat Denise Peterson-Rafuse in the election, and the recount saw the latter in fact lose a vote. Last week’s recounts for Waverley-Fall River-Beaver Bank and Guysborough-Eastern Shore-Tracadie also confirmed Liberal wins.

New Brunswick “N-word” utterance
Ronald Delice, a soldier and part time taxi driver, says he was ‘shocked’ and ‘disgusted’ by hearing the “N-word” at a Paul Street Burger King drive-thru in Dieppe in late May.
Delice is black.
A song by rapper 50 Cent was playing on the radio in the cab and the passengers asked the man at the window if he liked the music.
The Burger King worker replied: “No, I don’t like (plural version of the “N-word.)”
That worker was fired, but Delice wants an official apology, and he plans to file a human rights complaint.
