Our guest today, Susan Holt, was raised in Fredericton New Brunswick. She was elected to the New Brunswick Legislature as the Leader of the Official Opposition and the Liberal Member for Bathurst East-Nepisiguit-Saint-Isidore in 2023.
She has extensive experience in both local and global business, community leadership, provincial and national advocacy, and social enterprise development. She has also spent a number of years working within government on economic policy. Passionate about community involvement, Ms. Holt has been an active volunteer and contributor to organizations like the NB Lung Association, JEDI, Junior Achievement, Propel ICT, NB Association for Community Living, Fredericton Homeless Shelters, and more. She has degrees in Chemistry and Economics from Queen’s University.
Ms. Holt is perfectly bilingual thanks to New Brunswick’s early immersion program, paired with continued practice and a strong commitment to the French language. She, her husband Jon, and their three young children are passionate about New Brunswick’s great outdoors as avid hikers, runners, and campers.
This, is going to be good!
Fri, Jan 12, 2024, Here, We, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Well, hel-looo, Kits ‘n’ Kubs!
On Episode 45 of The True North Eager Beaver Interview Project (aka Episode 294 of The Daily Beaver Morning Show), join us for politics in full sentences, thanks to a substantive and stimulating conversation with New Brunswick’s Leader of the Official Opposition, Susan Holt, about her approach to politics, and her party’s plans and policy in this election year.
The Daily Beaver Morning Show is broadcast LIVE (most of the time), weekdays at 7-ish a.m. Eastern. Our take on the news is the purrr-fect thing for busy Kits who are on-the-go who want to stay engaged.
Until next time, be kind to — and gentle with — yourselves,
Your Eager Beaver and Mr. Grizzly

Not everyone can do everything. But everyone can do something. Because #DemocracyIsSomethingYouDo...
Write to your MP, MPP, MLA, MNA, Senator, or preferred local media outlet to tell them you expect them to dig deep into the Doug Ford corruption story as well as indicted-in-the-USA-for-trying-to-steal-an-election Mike Roman's links to Stephen Harper and Andrew Scheer. And tell them you do approve of a national school food program.
With the current strain on our health care professionals, do the right neighbourly thing to keep our hospitals unclogged: get your XBB, flu, pneumonia, and / or RSV shots.
Finally, support your fellow Canadians by donating to the Red Cross Wildfire Response. _________________________________________________
