Going from 340 to 77 municipalities has been a rough ride for some. Reporter Sam Farley asked mayors whether they want to stay or go as the May 11 elections approach.Clarification: in this episode, host Khalil Akhtar says that Fredericton "didn't want" a new provincial jail. To be more precise, the City of Fredericton approved the zoning amendment to allow a new provincial jail to be built near the Vanier Industrial Park, but the N.B. government cancelled that plan after pushback from residents. The project was later moved to Minto.
