New Brunswick premier announces engagement: ‘A very happy partnership’
FREDERICTON — They met on a blind date, and he popped the question at one of the iconic landmarks of the Acadian people.
Canada’s youngest premier — New Brunswick’s telegenic Brian Gallant, 34 — has announced his engagement to 27-year-old Karine Lavoie, who reportedly works for Canadian Heritage.
He posted the news Monday in both official languages on his Twitter feed: “Karine said yes to spending the rest of her life with me.”
Gallant said both he and their dog Blaze couldn’t be happier.
