"The Higgs Years is a timely and instructive window on how the francophone side of the province reacted to Higgs. The book will be valuable as a compendium of detailed, richly-sourced studies of governance and policy issues ranging from energy and housing to Indigenous reconciliation and education, from language policy to local government reform, Scholars and general readers alike will for years have a reliable source of public policy information." Journal of New Brunswick Studies --- "The Higgs Years provides a timely analysis of Blaine Higgs’ tenure as Progressive Conservative premier of New Brunswick from 2018-2024. It advances our knowledge and understanding of the politics, culture, and society of the province. The scope of the book is impressive [and] despite the book’s exceptional scholarship, this work is accessible, and will be appreciated not only by academics, but by the general public." New Brunswick Scholarly Book Award jury --- “This volume reveals a new understanding of the Higgs administration, campaign promises, governing, and New Brunswick politics more broadly. It is thorough and accessible, provides insight into the politics of an understudied province, and will be cited for years.” Mario Levesque, Mount Allison University --- "The Higgs Years is one of the best volumes on provincial politics in recent memory. Using the unique microcosm of New Brunswick, it draws out larger political trends across the country. Essential reading.” Jamie Gillies, St Thomas University
