The province will amend the formula for public financing of political parties to provide an incentive for recruiting more female candidates. Votes received by female candidates would be weighted 1.5 times greater than those received by male candidates. A financial incentive like this was recommended by the Commission on Electoral Reform.

Another blizzard warning
It may be spring now…but that doesn’t mean winter is done with us yet.
Environment Canada has issued a blizzard warning for the greater Moncton area tonight, warning of 15cms of snow and strong northerly winds gusting to 90 km/h blowing it around. It’ll start with a mixture of snow and rain this afternoon then intensify this evening. It could also bring some nasty windchills tomorrow morning.
