The Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick is a centre to centre-right conservative political party in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The party has its origins in the pre-Canadian confederation Conservative Party that opposed the granting of responsible government to the colony. It has historically followed the Red Tory tradition.[2] The Progressive Conservative Party currently leads the provincial government since 2018 under Premier Blaine Higgs.
