New Brunswick has changed beyond recognition in barely a decade. Long a place that people left, it has become a magnet for newcomers. Its economic imperative is no longer to create work, but to find workers. Ten years ago, it was a fiscal basket case; today, it is the least indebted province east of Saskatchewan.
In New Brunswick's Great Transformation, Richard Saillant follows the money, the people, and the numbers to tell the story of a place navigating an epochal shift. A compelling portrait of a province that has traded its old problems for better ones — and must now decide whether it has the courage to meet them.
For anyone who wants to understand where New Brunswick is, how it got there, and what happens next — this is the book.
