The turmoil within New Brunswick's Progressive Conservative Party was deepening Friday morning as another minister quit Premier Blaine Higgs's cabinet and four former top party officials demanded the premier resign.

Portland-Simonds MLA Trevor Holder, the longest-serving MLA in the legislature, announced in an open letter he was quitting as minister of post-secondary education, training and labour.

"Under the leadership of Premier Higgs, caucus has been less about consensus and more about him getting his own way," Holder wrote.

Oof, Holder is a very long-time MLA. This one's gotta hurt.

I'd normally agree with you, but I think Higgs has pissed off his own party too much. They're all power-hungry, and Higgs hasn't been sharing the power recently from what his cabinet members have to say.

I truly hope you’re right.
