Recent data unveiled from New Brunswick’s road infrastructure fund reveals a concerning pattern of favouritism by the governing parties. This analysis indicates that road improvement budgets and projects are disproportionately channeled towards areas that politically align with those in power, sparking debates about fairness and transparency in provincial funding processes.

These revelations have prompted demands for policy reform aimed at achieving more equitable resource allocation.
