ATTN Minister Pablo Rodriguez Why does CBC and VIAFOURA and their client "Samuel Porter" aka "Harold Benson" practice libel against me Imagine doing such a thing to their former boss Minister Joly N'esy Pas?

$

First I point out the libel of Samuel Porter which is published by CBC with VAFOURA's moderators allowing him to do so. Then Samuel Porter makes matters worse and accuses me of threatening him and implying he going to call the cops. So I contact the RCMP while CBC blocks my responses as he laments that he cannot delete his account because I am demanding to know who he truly is within the comment section. After a couple of days CBC and VIAFOURA change his ID to a new name???

I find this debate so trivial. NBers are so stupid. No to fracking because its harmful to the environment, but hey let's continue to allow spraying the forests with a dangerous chemical. If we were truly concerned about the environment why haven't we put a stop to spraying glyphosate?

@Marc Martin the francophone's were treated far better than the Celtic people in the past but they don't expect other people to pay for their culture and language's as with other races of people in N.B.

Its not about culture its about official languages, there are 2 in Canada that needs to be respected English and French you didn't know ?

*but they don't expect other people to pay for their culture and language's *

But if we go with your theory, then why am I paying for your culture and language?

Arthur John

@Marguerite Deschamps You need to check the price of natural gas in Boston during winter months, that is one of the markets for NB natural gas.

Bernard McIntyre
Bernard McIntyre
@Marc Martin. Your not paying for my culture or language. I am not of either francophone or anglophone just like you don't pay for the other races of people. This is 2018 but you seem to live in the past. Why should only 2 races of people have languages rights. are the rest of races 2nd class citizen's?

Bernard McIntyre
Bernard McIntyre
@Arthur John. That's the problem. We sell our resources at a lower price then N.Ber's pay a much higher price for our own resources.

David Amos
David Amos
@Bernard McIntyre "This is 2018 but you seem to live in the past."

Plus its 3 long years past the being of the mandate of Prime Minister Trudeau the Younger. With regards to language rights, Methinks you should ask the ghosts of Prime Minister Trudeau The Elder and Premier Hatfield why they made New Brunswick Canada' ONLY bilingual province quite likely before the Quebecker you are arguing was born N'esy Pas?

I am not against using our natural resourse's but what I am against is wasting it, It will take Billions of liters of water for these fracking wells. what are they going to do with the waste water . Throw it into the river systems and pollute like other people do. If we are going to waste the water then why not filter it, bottle or by other means and then sell it N.B would probably make more money by doing this than depend on royalties from big business in which some cases we pay to have our resourse's used.

@Marc Martin It is like the sun has risen for the first time in 4 years; Now we can get started on opening up Paramedics to unilingual Paramedics and we can either get rid of the Official Languages Commissioner or, better still, appoint an Anglo commissioner.

*And then open up the OLA.*

LOL good luck with that, Ottawa officially will launch bilingual office across Canada to re-enforce OLA.

"By the way the commissioner worked for both side. "

No that is not accurate. Can you provide one single example of the commissioner holding up the rights of an anglo? Well you cannot because it has never happened. The commish rejected all anglo complaints and refused to investigate. That is just one of many reasons why the position needs to be abolished.

Marc Martin

*Can you provide one single example of the commissioner holding up the rights of an anglo? *

The question is, as she ever refused any complaints by the anglo position ? She did not.

Can you provide one single example of the commissioner refusing an Anglo complaint?

*The commish rejected all anglo complaints and refused to investigate.*

Wich one ? Making a complaint because the language first on a sign or on paper is not a proper complaint.

"You mentioned you where going to vote for PANB on this site don't deny it."

Wrong again Marc. Even if were true (which it is not) it is the Cons who are proposing an immediate return to fracking, not PA. So don't blame PA voters because PA did not campaign on bringing back Fracking anytime soon. Here is a direct pre-election quote from Kris Austin

"People's Alliance has "no intention of fracking at this point" because the market has bottomed out and there wouldn't be enough royalties coming into the province to make it worthwhile."

Ontario PC Candidate Promoted Alt-Right Website Linked to Hate Figures at Young Conservative Event

Ontario PC candidate Donna Skelly gave a special ‘shout out’ to far-right extremists at a Christmas party for campus conservatives
May 28, 2018
An Ontario PC candidate promoted a controversial alt-right website that has a well-documented history amplifying some of Canada’s most toxic and racist personalities during an event for young conservatives in Hamilton last Christmas.
A photo from the event shows Donna Skelly, a former CHCH broadcaster turned city councillor who is currently running for Doug Ford’s Ontario PCs in the Hamilton-area riding of Flamborough-Glanbrook, waving a red hat displaying the words ‘Free Bird Media’ – an imitation of Donald Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.
Except ‘Free Bird Media’ is an alt-right website whose video archives are filled with hours of speeches and interviews featuring prominent figures on Canada’s far-right, including two men recently charged with hate crimes.
According to a Facebook event page for last December’s “Hamilton Conservative Christmas Formal,” organized by members of McMaster University and Mohawk College’s campus conservative clubs, Skelly was booked as a guest speaker alongside characters from Canada’s online alt-right, including FBM founder Alex Van Hamme.
The photo from the event, uploaded to Facebook by Cosmin Dzsurdzsa, the alt-right website’s “creative director,” is accompanied by a message that reads:
 “Thanks to Donna Skelly – Ward 7 Councillor for the shout out!”

Facebook
Skelly’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment from PressProgress.
On Monday, Doug Ford showcased Skelly as a potential cabinet minister if the Ontario PCs form government after the province’s June 7 election.
FBM purports to be a platform that promotes “freedom of speech,” yet the website that received a special “shout out” from the sitting Hamilton city councillor and current Ontario PC candidate is filled with speeches and interviews from some of the most radical and extreme figures on Canada’s far-right.
FBM’s YouTube channel includes videos featuring the following personalities:
Paul Fromm: Described by the National Post as “one of Canada’s most notorious white supremacists,” with extensive links to neo-Nazi groups.
James Sears: Editor of the racist, far-right publication ‘Your Ward News’ who was recently charged with hate crimes – according to CBC News, Sears published material that “portrayed Jews as dogs” and “glorified Hitler.”
Kevin Johnston: Anti-Muslim blogger who was charged with a hate crime after offering $1,000 rewards for videos of Muslim school children.
Faith Goldy: Former Rebel Media host denounced by Conservative MP Michael Chong for promoting “white supremacy” and “anti-Semitism” after she appeared on a neo-Nazi podcast. More recently, Goldy recommended a 1930s fascist book advocating the “the elimination of Jews.”

YouTube
During an interview on CBC News in January, CBC News’ Wendy Mesley questioned controversial professor Jordan Peterson about a photo featuring himself and FBM founder Alex Van Hamme with a flag featuring Pepe the Frog – a cartoon frog used as a coded symbol by the alt-right and other online hate groups.
Van Hamme, a guest speaker alongside Skelly at the Conservative Christmas event, and Peterson were also photographed with a white nationalist who was identified as a member of a group caught plastering racist flyers on the University of Toronto’s campus.

The Ontario PC candidate also had a front-row seat at the Hamilton Conservative Christmas Formal as Van Hamme delivered a spirited monologue on the “testicles” of “biological male professors” at universities.
Van Hamme informed Skelly and an audience of young conservatives that academia is a “feminine environment” that leaves men “castrated.”

Dzsurdzsa, the FBM director who uploaded the photo of Skelly, also openly touts his experience serving as deputy editor of the US-based Russia Insider website.
According to news outlets ranging from BBC News to Newsweek, Russia Insider is a “Pro-Kremlin propaganda” site with a track record of promoting anti-Semitism.
Russia Insider’s archives show the FBM director published articles calling on Canada to drop sanctions and establish a “healthy trade partnership with Russia” and insinuated Bill C-51 may have been “purposefully” designed to make it a “criminal offence” to express “vocal support for Russia.”


Update: Following publication of this story, Donna Skelly told CBC News she was unaware of what FBM was before publicly endorsing the alt-right website at an event for conservative youth.
“I had no idea what Free Bird Media was, and that’s the honest truth,” Skelly told CBC News. “I honestly know nothing about this website. I stopped in to this event for 20 minutes and I was gone.”
Skelly added that she does not “condone or endorse” speech that is “hurtful, harmful or illegal.”
Following CBC News’ report, FBM’s Alex Van Hamme released a statement disputing Skelly’s story and said the Ontario PC candidate is throwing him “under the bus.”
According to Van Hamme, not only did Skelly “know exactly who I am and what I’m about” when she attended the event, she also “stood on stage and declared ‘we need more media like this!’ while holding (FBM’s) hat.”

Ontario PC Candidate Shares Theory Linking Schools and Hospitals to Secret ‘Globalist’ Conspiracy
Doug Ford's candidate in Windsor shares wild theory claiming education and healthcare are a plot to ‘control the people’
May 27, 2018
Conservatives in Windsor sound like they may have stayed up late binge watching InfoWars videos on YouTube this weekend.
Sunday morning, one of Doug Ford’s candidates in Windsor shared a bizarre graphic insinuating that the Ontario NDP’s policies to make investments in education and healthcare are somehow linked to the ‘New World Order’.
Ontario PC candidate Mohammad Latif retweeted a graphic shared by Scott Duquette, the local PC riding president in Windsor-Tecumseh, along with a message declaring “this is why I…

Founder: Maayan Ziv

Website: http://accessnow.me/, external link

With AccessNow, Maayan turned personal necessity into proactive
entrepreneurial opportunity. Frustrated by the repetitive process of
businesses claiming to be wheelchair accessible only to discover she
had no access upon arrival, Maayan created AccessNow.

Launched during the Summer 2015 Parapan Games in Toronto, AccessNow is
an application that uses crowdsourcing to collect and share the
accessibility status of locations such as restaurants and hotels,
office buildings, public spaces and tourist attractions. Users can
search for a location’s level of accessibility (accessible, partially
accessible, patio access only, not accessible) or can add information
about a new location. Maayan notes that 4 million Canadians live a
disability. Accessibility barriers can also effect the elderly,
parents with strollers, individuals with temporary injuries and many
others.

More than 2,600 locations in over 100 cities have been pinned so far
to the AccessNow map, with new locations being added every day. Maayan
hopes to widen the breadth of user information, such as locations that
offer braille for individuals with a visual impairment and noise
decibel levels for individuals with autism. It’s all about community
engagement to share information that benefits everyone.

Maayan exemplifies the true meaning of inclusivity and empowerment.
Through AccessNow, Maayan is not just opening doors for people with
disabilities, she is changing the discussion about what accessibility
means, for all people.

"When you create accessibility at your business, you open your doors
to a much larger population of people that you might not have been
able to cater to before. And that’s not just on a humanitarian level;
that’s just good business."


Advisory Council on Jobs and the Visitor Economy

From: Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada

The Advisory Council on Jobs and the Visitor Economy consists of
business owners, entrepreneurs, tourism operators and professionals
who recognize the economic importance of the tourism sector. The
Council will identify important issues facing the tourism sector in
Canada. It will also recommend new ways to increase Canadian tourism

In developing the Government of Canada's new Federal Strategy on Jobs
and the Visitor Economy, Mélanie Joly, Minister of Tourism, Official
Languages and La Francophonie, will also count on the support and
expertise of Mr. Dominic Barton, Global Managing Partner Emeritus of
McKinsey, as well as Ben Cowan-Dewar, Chair of Destination Canada.

The Minister and the Department will continue to work closely with
national associations like the Tourism Industry Association of Canada,
the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada, as well as with other
stakeholders and LGBTQ2 groups to benefit from their knowledge and
expertise as the Strategy is being developed.

Frank McKenna (Chair)

Frank McKenna was appointed Deputy Chair of TD Bank Group on May 1,
2006. He is responsible for supporting the Bank in its customer
acquisition strategy, particularly in the area of Wholesale and
Commercial Banking.

Frank has held numerous leadership positions in both the public and
private sector. For a decade (1987–1997) he was Premier of New
Brunswick, having earned three consecutive majority governments,
including the historic victory in 1987 of all 58 seats in the
legislature. The McKenna government significantly improved the
province's standard of living and quality of life. Among its
accomplishments, it balanced budgets, pioneered e-government services,
attracted innovative industry clusters and improved educational
outcomes.

Frank also played a central role on the national stage, where among
other initiatives, he became a lead advocate for the Canada-US Free
Trade Agreement. Prime Minister Martin nominated Frank as Canadian
Ambassador to the United States of America in 2005, where he was
charged to navigate contentious bilateral issues related to trade and
security.

In 2006, Frank resigned this position upon change of national
government. In the private sector, Frank is in wide demand as a
corporate director. Currently he is the Chairman of Brookfield Asset
Management and is on the board of Canadian Natural Resources. He has
also been Chairman of the Board of CanWest Global and served on the
Boards of Noranda, Shoppers Drug Mart and General Motors.

Respondent on the cross-appeal

and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Appellant on the cross-appeal
(and formerly Respondent)
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT

I.                    Introduction

[1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
(Claim at para. 96).

[2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
Prothontary’s Order).


[3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).


[4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
cross-appeal.


II.                 Preliminary Matter

[5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
several judges but did not name those judges.

[6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
c. F-7:


5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
Appeal.
[…]

5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
[…]
5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.

5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
juges de la Cour fédérale.


[7]               However, these subsections only provide that the
judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
section.
[8]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that:
3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
— Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.

3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
matière civile et pénale.
4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
— Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.

4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
compétence en matière civile et pénale.


[9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
(section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
appeal book.


[10]           Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
conflict in any matter related to him.


[11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.


[12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
such judge had a conflict.


[13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
was a member of such firm.


[14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
Court of Canada over 10 years ago.


[15]           The documents that he submitted in relation to the
alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
“John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
[16]           Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
apprehension of bias:
60        In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
reasonable apprehension of bias:
… the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
unconsciously, would not decide fairly."

[17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed
person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
(4th) 193).

[18]           The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.


28        The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."


29        It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.


30        That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
            To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
his former firm for a considerable period of time.


32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
events from over a decade ago.
(emphasis added)

[19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
Webb hearing this appeal.

[20]           Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
(2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of
the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.

[21]           In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.
Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.

[22]           Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities
and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing
to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American
police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.

[23]           As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him
to recuse himself.

[24]           Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional
experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.

[25]           Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote
a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,
begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter
was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.


III.               Issue

[26]           The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?

IV.              Analysis

A.                 Standard of Review

[27]           Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
[Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
(Hospira at paras. 82-83).

[28]           In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
interfere.


B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
Prothonotary’s Order?

[29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:

17.       Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
(…)


21.       The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
[footnotes omitted].


[30]           The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
para. 27).


[31]           The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:


[13]      As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:

a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;

b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and

c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
(Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).

[32]           The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
“political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).

[33]           This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:

…When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”.
“The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald,
conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse
of process…

To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
(at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).

[34]           Applying the Housen standard of review to the
Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.

[35]           The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from
the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of
supporting a cause of action.

[36]           In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we
find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend.
The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that
amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).

V.                 Conclusion
[37]           For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s
cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment,
dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated
November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety
without leave to amend.

Kennedy hosts a panel on why whistleblowers are vital to the public
interest...and how their exposure of wrongdoing can ultimately be
helpful, even to their workplace. Investigator Sandy Boucher,
international expert Anna Myers, and Canadian advocate David Hutton
join forces to explain why they believe whistleblowers should be heard
and protected. **This episode originally aired April 28, 2017.

When people are asked to name a whistleblower these days, they likely
think of the headline-grabbing story of Edward Snowden. His leak of
classified documents detailing widespread surveillance by the National
Security Agency provoked global debate.


"I think in the U.S. system...it was always seen that a whistleblower
is someone who goes outside to a journalist. For most individuals,
that is the last port of call, rather than the first...People don't
think about going to the journalist. So I think there's a lot of
misconception...around whistleblowing."— Anna Myers, Whistleblowing
International Network

Whistleblower Panel at the Ryerson Centre for Free Expression

Paul Kennedy, left, with panellists Anna Myers, David Hutton, and
Sandy Boucher at Ryerson's Centre for Free Expression in Toronto,
March 2017 (Ange Holmes/Ryerson Centre for Free Expression)
In fact, the vast majority of whistleblowing occurs on a smaller scale
— and far away from the media's gaze, and the public's knowledge. That
can make the act of calling out fraud, corruption, and misbehaviour a
risky business for workers who speak up. While they may not need to
flee to Russia like Snowden, the repercussions can be personally and
professionally devastating. That is true particularly when those in
power decide to self-protectively circle their wagons and deliberately
undermine the reputation of the employee who is speaking out. Still,
according to our panel, most whistleblowers likely would do it all
over again.


"From my perspective, a great many whistleblowers — perhaps the vast
majority of them — get into trouble by doing what they see as their
job… And most of them feel they don't have any choice about it, and
many of them have no idea of how serious the consequences may be for
them."  — David Hutton


Sandy Boucher, David Hutton, and Anna Myers collectively share decades
of experience talking to whistleblowers from both the private and
public sectors — from medical researchers to tree surgeons. Through
whistleblower hotlines and meetings, they give them advice, and bear
witness to what happens in the wake of people's disclosures.

That's what unites them in believing that whistleblowing keeps
organizations, governments, and businesses ethical — and democracy
healthy. That's also why they are calling for better protection for
whistleblowers themselves — at home in Canada, and internationally.
Specifically, they call for better government legislation and clearer
policies, as well as investigative reporting that follows through.
There may need to be an attitude change on the employer level as well.
Whistleblowing, after all, is as an opportunity: it exposes a serious
internal problem that can be investigated and curtailed at earlier
stages, with less damage to all involved.

Good Day Sir

After I heard you speak on CBC I called your office again and managed
to speak to one of your staff for the first time

Please find attached the documents I promised to send to the lady who
answered the phone this morning. Please notice that not after the Sgt
at Arms took the documents destined to your office his pal Tanker
Malley barred me in writing with an "English" only document.

These are the hearings and the dockets in Federal Court that I
suggested that you study closely.

This is the docket in Federal Court

This Judge understnds the meaning of the word Integrity

Date: 20151223

Docket: T-1557-15

Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015

PRESENT:        The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell

BETWEEN:

DAVID RAYMOND AMOS

Plaintiff

and

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

Defendant

ORDER

(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)

The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.

At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter
he stated:

As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your brother’s keeper.

Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.

In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.


AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There
is no order as to costs.

“B. Richard Bell”
Judge


Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment
already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent
to your office over the years since I first visited it in 2006.

 I noticed that on July 30, 2009, he was appointed to the  the Court
Martial Appeal Court of Canada  Perhaps you should scroll to the
bottom of this email ASAP and read the entire Paragraph 83  of my
lawsuit now before the Federal Court of Canada?

"FYI This is the text of the lawsuit that should interest Trudeau the most

http://davidraymondamos3.blogspot.ca/2015/09/v-behaviorurldefaultvmlo.html

83 The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war
in Iraq again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to
allow Barry Winters to publish the following words three times over
five years after he began his bragging:

>> RE: Public Corruption
>>
>> Hey,
>>
>> Apparently everybody wanted to play dumb about my concerns and
>> allegations so that Humpty Dumpty Martin's minority government would
>> not fall and they could party hardy while the Queen was in Canada. As
>> you all know months ago, I began faxing, emailing and calling the
>> eight other Lt. Governors I had yet to cross paths with. I fully
>> informed them of my indignation towards the Governor General Clarkson
>> and two of her other Maritime Lieutenants Roberts and Chaisson before
>> the latest wave of bad acting Yankees invaded my home in the USA
>> without warrants or due process if law.
>>
>> I made certain all of the provincial Attorney Generals and Premiers
>> can never deny the fact that I tried to make them well aware of my
>> concerns and allegations in order to make everybody should sit up and
>> pay attention. Not one person from any of your offices ever responded
>> in any fashion at all. You can be certain that I expected the
>> deliberate ignorance. It is one of the oldest tricks in the book that
>> lawyers employ in order to play their wicked game of see no evil, hear
>> no evil speak no evil. I knew it would happen particularly after Nova
>> Scotia's Conflict of Interest Commissioner Merlin Nunn had blocked my
>> emails before I had contacted you. I have no doubt it helped to
>> relieve him of his ethical dilemma before the NS NDP decided what to
>> do about their chance to unseat the Conservatives. I have no doubt
>> whatsoever many lawyers in Canada were praying that the Suffolk County
>> District Attorney would have me back in the loony bin by April 28th
>> and that all your troubles would go away. I opted to let you all have
>> your way and did not bother you anymore until the Queen had left our
>> shores and Parliament quit for the summer. Now it is my turn to have
>> some fun and raise a little Political Hell.
>>
>> While the Queen, Clarkson and Martin where all having a grand old time
>> on the Canadian dime my little Clan went through living hell down
>> here. Trust me, lawyers need to learn some new tricks. Ignorance is no
>> excuse to the law or me. Making some Canadian Attorney Generals and
>> their political buddies show me their arses is child's play to me
>> after all that I have experienced in the last few years. If you doubt
>> me ask Michael J. Bryant and Yvon Marcoux why I am so pissed at their
>> bosses and the DHS. Then check my work for yourself. If the tag team
>> of John Ashcroft and Tom Ridge could not intimidate me, believe me you
>> people don't have a prayer. Both of those dudes have quit their jobs
>> but I am still standing and squaring off against their replacements
>> now. If it were not for all the decent folks I know, the snotty ones
>> like you would make me feel ashamed to be a Canadian. There is no
>> shortage of lawyers. It is just that ethical ones that are rare birds,
>> that's all. You must know how easily the Canadian people can replace
>> you with other lawyers if it becomes widely known how willing you are
>> to ignore crime if it means some fancy dude may be compelled to suffer
>> for his own wrongs.
>>
>> The justice system is supposed to be self-policing. It should clean up
>> its own act rather than trying to maintain a false mask of integrity
>> for lawyers that are obviously criminals. It is way beyond my
>> understanding why you people would choose to support the likes of Paul
>> Martin, Adrienne Clarkson, T. Alex Hickman and Billy Matthews if you
>> are not all as crooked as hell as well. The deliberate ignorance and
>> double-talk employed by the wealthy few to dodge simple truths is
>> absolutely offensive to ordinary people blessed with the rare
>> attribute called common sense. Not all folks are like sheep.
>>
>> Paul Martin's latest tricks make for a very fine example of truly how
>> bad things are. Even amidst wholesale scandals breaking out hell, west
>> and crooked everywhere lawyers and politicians just close ranks and
>> stand together as thick as the thieves they are. I stress tested the
>> ethics of the ladies of the Bloc Quebecois and the Gomery Inquiry
>> immediately after Martin's carefully orchestrated little circus in
>> Parliament on May 19th was a matter of history. Lets just say I was
>> not surprised to not hear one peep in response from anyone other than
>> to get a call from an unidentified and very nervous but cocky Yankee
>> lawyer claiming that Tony Blair was mad at me.
>>
>> Pursuant to my phone calls, emails and faxes please find enclosed as
>> promised exactly the same hard copy of what I sent to the Canadian
>> Ambassadors Allan Rock and Franky Boy McKenna and a couple of nasty
>> FBI agents on May 12th just before an interesting event in front of

>> the least. I also sent you a copy of a letter sent to a lady Ms.
>> Condolezza Rice whom our former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
>> considers to be the most powerful woman in the world. The CD of the
>> copy of police surveillance tape # 139 is served upon all the above
>> named Attorney Generals as officers of the court in order that it may
>> be properly investigated.
>>
>> I will not bother you with the details of what I am sending to you
>> byway of the certified US Mail because I will be serving identical
>> material to many other Canadian Authorities in hand and tell them I
>> gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy of this letter. All

>> mail was sent before I make my way back home to the Maritimes. However
>> I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material than what
>> Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact the same
>> material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky Boy McKenna in
>> particular received, while I was up home running for Parliament last
>> year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so I have also
>> included a few recent items to spice things up for you. I am tired of

Duality has no place in New Brunswick.

Separation of children on school busses does not promote bilingualism.

Mr. Austin said "But then you have certain individuals that come out and basically say [taking] a 20-minute school ride on a bus that's not dual busing, somehow kids are going to lose their language, and I'm thinking, 'That's just ridiculous."

@Marc Martin In the spirit of fairness, I'm going to go ahead and assume that you mean a subset of the language laws applied in New Brunswick are Federal laws. Because If your statement was 100% accurate I wouldn't have friends in Ontario assuming I'm joking when I tell them about the duality of school buses in New Brunswick.

David Amos
David Amos 
@Marc Martin "I have no idea what your talking about.."

Why continue to play dumb? What you don't wish to argue is in the questionable federal charter created by your hero Trudeau The Elder and his cohorts in 1982 that your fellow Quebeckers did agree with. Everybody knows it was modified in 1993 by McKenna and the boyz because New Brunswick does not have a its won constitution.

As your many Anglophone and Francophone buddies in Fredericton know I have been arguing the facts in Federal Court since I ran in the election of the 42nd Parliament N'esy Pas?

https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/rfc-dlc/ccrf-ccdl/check/art16.html

Subsections 16.1(1) and (2) came into force on March 12, 1993 and entrench certain principles expressed in the Act Recognizing the Equality of the Two Language Communities in New Brunswick, which was promulgated in 1981

Since 97% of NB Francophones speak English, what is the problem here?

The majority of paramedics are bilingual so is it really so terrible if in a few cases an ambulance shows up with only anglos and a translation device? I think it is way more important for the ambulance to arrive on a timely basis.

@Fred Brewer, there is not a shred of evidence that this boy died because of the lack of bilingual paramedics. Your link is totally unrelated to the topic. As if a paramedic who speaks French could not be found in Haut-Lamèque; give me a break!

Marc Martin

@Fred Brewer

That's not because of a language issue, its because Medavie only found fit to hire less paramedics in that region, by the way that happened up north there is no issue with bilingualism there.

"That's not because of a language issue, its because Medavie only found fit to hire less paramedics in that region, by the way that happened up north there is no issue with bilingualism there."

Actually it is a language issue. It is a fact that Medavie cannot find enough bilingual staff and as a result ambulances are parked or otherwise unavailabe. In this instance 4 of the 6 ambulances were not available.

Fred Brewer
Fred Brewer
@Marc Martin
"there is NO casualty so far due to language issues with paramedics."

Hey Marc, could you please give us an example of a death caused by language issues according to your views?

Fred Brewer
Fred Brewer
@Marguerite Deschamps ,
"there is not a shred of evidence that this boy died because of the lack of bilingual paramedics"

For once, I agree with you. It had nothing to do with lack of bilingual paramedics, it was lack of paramedics whether they are bilingual or unilingual. Either one might have been able to save this boy's life. 45 minutes is just too long to wait.

Marc Martin

Its not a language issue, they have the required paramedic upper north, they just don't hire them.

Nice to see Kris Austin stand up to the office of the " Language Commissioner" ( and we know what language the office is in favor of) of New Brunswick. The ultimate goal of the group (s) the " Office of the Language Commissioner of NB" really represents is actually quite simple. And that would be the elimination of unilingual New Brunswickers in government employment, ( provincial, and ultimately municipal) and increasingly in the private sector. This is slowly but surely being accomplished under the guise of " Official Bilingualism". But they cannot accomplish their ultimate goal just by the original intent of the " Official Languages Act" which was to guarantee folks here in NB government services in the "Official Language" of their choice, which is fine and dandy, they have taken it " one step further" with their invention of the " Language of Work" policy. The "readers digest version" of this " policy", that the vast majority of unilingual New Brunswickers are COMEPLETLY unaware of is that any one who gets hired into government work in NB in the future will be required to be bilingual. It is as simple as that. And everyone knows whom benefits from any job being designated " bilingual". It is CRITICAL that the " Language of Work" policy NOT be allowed to be part of the " Official Languages Act" which comes up for review in 2022.


Claude DeRoche

@daryl doucette BTW the Language " Language Commissioner" is also one of two lawyers that caused a lawsuit that the Law Society lost.

@Marc Martin bilingual folks, the VAST majority of whom are francophones. Here's an idea! Lets get Quebec to become "Officially Bilingual" and make all their government jobs "bilingual essential". Guess who would DOMINATE the jobs there? Yup, the bilingual minority ( read Quebec ANGLOPHONES)....yeah and i'm sure the unilingual majority in Quebec would bend over backwards to allow THAT to happen there!!

A generous gesture of tolerance, offering government services in French where numbers warrant has morphed over time to duality in the Country's poorest Province.
Consideration for the greater good has been trampled in a goal of creating a pseudo French society, supported completely by public funds.

And you hit the nail on the head...you actually had the courage to voice what the real goal for the Francophone Elite along with groups such as SANB has been all along... This is not about language... This is all about power and control and the complete takeover of New Brunswick..... Sadly governments have been going along with this complete garbage for decades... Time to end the forced social engineering... Time for francophones to retain their own language and culture and stop foisting it on everyone else..... Time for francophones to also pay for their unrealistic demands.. Time to put a full stop to all government handouts both federal and provincial...… Time for everyone to receive the same per person funding... No more and No less..

Duality is just another word for segregation, it wouldn't be acceptable anywhere else, all the other provinces in Canada are actually Bilingual, you have a right to be served in both languages at all offices and government provided services, not having to travel to one office or another based on language or a different school bus for children based on language, can you imagine if we forced black and white children onto different buses, i see no difference when the intolerance is based on language instead of skin culture. NB is segregationist and not bilingual at all, far from it, Alberta is more bilingual, at least you can get service in either language in all offices


Marc Martin

That's BS. Some ambulances are used to transfer patients. There should be a system for just for emergencies and one for transfers.

Transfers can be accomplished by a driver and nurse(s), freeing paramedics.

The decision to make bilingualism in NB official, via the Constitution, is the stupidest political decision ever made. It was only done so Hatfield could get French votes.

@Kirby Lucas
It was McKenna that had Bill 88 entrenched in the Constitution. And it never would have happened had it not been part of the 'seamless' Meech Lake Accord.
But when the Accord was rejected, the seams quickly unraveled, and McKenna and Mulroony did a deal in a back room that saddled us with this albatross.

@Kirby Lucas .....It was former Premier Frank McKenna that had it entrenched in the Constitution . McKenna seemed to have an intense hatred for the Province . He entrenched Official Bilingualism in the Constitution , then left the Province . Ever since we have had one term govt. except for the Lord govt. who went 7 years ; but nothing was accomplished by Lord in his second term before he went down to defeat in an early election . Welcome to N.B. ; a failed province that was destroyed by Frank McKenna !!!

@daryl doucette simple. NB is designated bilingual or french only withing the hiring rules of the public service of canada. i have experienced this sad state of affairs....these federal jobs are designated, especially the EX levels as french on applying for nb jobs. NS has no such designation, nor PEI. you will find more federal jobs in NS PEI Nfld because of this ruling......ps many english speaking NB educated people move to west, apply for senior federal indeterminate jobs there...and do very well....but never can move back to NB because they speak only english...or chriac french!

I have had my resume handed back to me without even looking at it because I am not bilingual, on multiple occasions. So if the only qualification they asked was my language and nothing else, I guess we know what the priority is don't we? And BTW, I have been denied service in English, by francophones working for the provincial government, because the person wearing the English/Francais pin, couldn't speak English. They guy knew just enough English to tell me he was going to find someone else. If bilingualism is such a priority and it has nothing to do with cutting out the English, then how did he even get hired? He should have flunked out on the first question.

@Joseph Vacher
While there is a lot of truth there, the taxes, debt and GDP are not related to OLA, it is however related to the other millstone around our necks, the Irvings and their race to the bottom.. Nearly every Irving property in this province pays a fraction of what it should in property taxes, and they were Canadian pioneers in stashing money in offshore banks.

@Joseph Vacher Dual systems is definitely a waste, no question, no argument. BUt it is sofa cushion change compared to the whole ale robbery we suffer from the Irvings. The Irving oil rail yard in Saint John pays less in property taxes than the Tim Horton's right beside it, the CanaPort same thing, 90% off property tax discount. Kenneth Irving told the then mayor of Saint John, that the deal would fall apart if they don't get the tax break... except the other partner in the deal, Repsol, had no idea there even was a property tax deal in place, and never asked for one.
No, when it comes to robbery the OLA is an amateur compared to the Irvings.

Are we not civilized enough to live in harmony English and French! What I question is who benefits from these linguistic cat fights ? Not NB residents, but those who blow the BUGLE of DIVISION , they are sitting laughing while we argue and they promise to suppress the fire of division but they hose it down with fuel then benefit financially as English and French Argue. This has to stop! We have, and live in a Bilingual province, we should live in harmony with one and other!

I cannot believe that the Government allows an entity which was created to fix the language problems,to allow people like this to be put into this position, to push their own agenda..we are paying someone to destroy a Province, as apposed to fixing it...let's all get some common sense and remove this guy...it is not up to the province to protect your language..it is up to you..the province cannot force you to exercise because it is in your best interest to do so, no more so than they can force you to learn Gaelic....there is something missing in the translation.....you want to protect your culture,than teach your children about your culture...government is about the people..not culture...

@Marguerite Deschamps I have not seen a French leader - in NB or Quebec- that has had any good world view. Xenophobia and an unhealthy obsession with forcing the French language on everyone are the usual hallmarks. I had my eyes open this summer on a visit to Paris. There is the xenophobia certainly- French don't seem comfortable with "foreigners", but language is totally a non-issue in France. Canadian French are unique- and not in a good way.

People's Alliance leader defends party's notion of language rights

Kris Austin says he'd like to meet with francophone leaders but doesn't expect party will change position


People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin says his party supports the right of francophones and anglophones to receive services in the language of their choice, but takes exception to how the right is applied. (CBC)


People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin lashed back Tuesday at the acting commissioner of official languages, who has suggested the party attracted supporters by blaming bilingualism for some of the province's problems.

Austin objected to Michel Carrier's singling out of a political party for criticism.

"I can imagine if the auditor general came out and blasted the Liberal Party about accounting, or the ombudsman come out and question the Conservative party about policy, it would be frowned upon," Austin said Tuesday.

"But yet Mr. Carrier seems OK with coming out and attacking us on language."
Earlier this week, Carrier said some of the messages the People's Alliance is sending aren't "necessarily for equality as far as government services and the way government responds and communicates to its francophone population."

He suggested that after 50 years of official bilingualism, some anglophones still resent the rights confirmed by the Official Languages Act, believe francophones have a better crack at civil service jobs, and question the need for duality in the ambulance service.


Michel Carrier, the interim official languages commissioner, said some anglophones still hold resentment of rights confirmed by New Brunswick's Official Languages Act. 
"There's still a misunderstanding," Carrier said.

More selective application


Austin said his party, which won three seats in the September election, supports the right of francophones and anglophones to receive services in the language of their choice but takes exception to how and where this right is implemented.

"If you question how taxes are implemented, are you opposed to all taxes?" he asked on Information Morning Fredericton. "If you question how health-care service delivery is given, do you oppose health care?
It can be great in the world of ideologies,  but it has to work on the ground, or what's the point? - Kris Austin, People's Alliance leader
"What we're doing is we're simply saying, 'Look we support the right of both French and English in this province but we have serious questions on how it's implemented. I don't know why that's an unfair thing to talk about or discuss."

Although he said his party supports bilingualism, Austin suggested it isn't needed everywhere.
For example, he questioned the need to have separate school buses for francophone students and the need to have bilingual paramedics in areas that are largely unilingual.


Information Morning - Fredericton
PANB responds to Michel Carrier


00:0010:46




Comments made by the interim official languages commissioner on our show yesterday have the People's Alliance crying foul. Leader of the PANB Kris Austin responds. 10:46
Austin said he understands some francophones worry about "assimilation," but that isn't his party's goal.

"They don't want to lose their language and culture, I respect that and I understand that," he said.

"But then you have certain individuals that come out and basically say [taking] a 20-minute school ride on a bus that's not dual busing, somehow kids are going to lose their language, and I'm thinking, 'That's just ridiculous.'"

System needs to be 'reasonable' 


Austin said his party supports bilingual paramedics, but it's difficult for paramedics working between 40 and 50 hours a week to learn a second language on the side.

"You've got to be reasonable about this and it's got to make sense," he said. "It can be great in the world of ideologies,  but it has to work on the ground, or what's the point?"

He said the problem is reversed for francophone paramedics who struggle with English and can't get full-time work in areas of the province where paramedics are in high demand.

"You can either have unilingual paramedics showing up in 15 minutes, or you can have bilingual paramedics showing up in 45 … I think most New Brunswickers would say, 'Give me the quick response.'"

Would like to meet francophones


Austin said he's open to meeting with Carrier and leaders of the francophone community. But he also said the Alliance won't be budged on what many francophones consider a retreat on official language rights.

"Our opinion is probably not going to change on this," he said. "We're very resolute in how we look at it.

"But again if there's areas where we can make it work better … I'm certainly open to those conversations."

"Maryam Monsef, the minister of the status of women, said the money is going toward the project proposed by the group, rather than straight into an increase of caregiver wages because the government wants to address system barriers."

I find it a bit ironic that the problem is recognized enough to allocate funds to address it, but by spending the money on a study instead of the caregivers, the study itself becomes a barrier.

The issue isn’t the pay to the caregivers,

It’s the amount of money thst all these little beusineesses and non profits that hire the caregivers, takes off the top to cover “administrative” costs.

For example. Two people higher caregivers from a company we will call Carez

Person one pays Carez $18 an hour to supply a caregiver. They are paying privately with their own money. The caregiver makes $14 an hour. Carez pockets $4 an hour.

Person 2 is a disabled veteran. They have government funding to cover the cost of the caregiver. Carez charges $55 an hour to the government. The caregiver still only makes $13 an hour. Carez makes $42 an hour.

Group gets $335,000 federal grant to study pay for caregivers

Ottawa gives New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equality money to study pay inequity and educate workers


Johanne Perron of the New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity, says caregivers in private facilities are not currently being paid a fair wage.


The minister for the status of woman was in Moncton on Tuesday to announce a grant of $335,000 for the New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity to address low wages being paid to women who work as caregivers in the private sector.

The New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity advocates education and legislation that would create the groundwork for implementing pay equity in both public and private sectors.

At the funding announcement, the group's executive director, Johanne Perron, said the money will go toward education and studies.

"We want the population to understand the value of caregiving work, we want the caregivers to understand what is pay equity so they can use pay equity justifications to get better wages and we also want to do job evaluations."

Perron said caregivers are often overlooked, because too many people see the work as a continuation of work historically done by women in the home, for free.

"Right now these women are not being paid fairly when you compare the value of their work with the value of jobs that are mostly done by men," she said.


MP Maryam Monsef, federal minister of the status of women, says the coalition will address the root causes of the pay equity problem for caregivers. (Pierre Fournier/CBC)
She said caregivers are paid between $12 and $15 an hour, a wage she calls "insufficient" for the work done.

Maryam Monsef, the minister of the status of women, said the money is going toward the project proposed by the group, rather than straight into an increase of caregiver wages because the government wants to address system barriers.

"The solutions that we are looking for at status of women and the federal government are solutions that take into account the systemic barriers that prevent people, whether it's employees or employers, from reaching their full potential," Monsef said.
"Barriers can include the undervaluing of work done by woman, and that's not a problem that goes away by throwing money at it."

The announcement was made at the Autumn Lee Retirement Home, where Martha Demmons has lived for three years. She would like to see wages increased for the people who work there.

"It's very important ... of course, it should be to everybody."

Perron said her group relies heavily on the work of volunteers, but this grant will help to ensure more work is paid for.

"You do need some real, hard money sometimes to get things moving to ensure people can talk to each other, meet each other and do the work."

The Unconventional Candidate
By Gisele McKnight

"FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos. The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada."

"Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians. "I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

"What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico

@louella woods "Technically speaking, the 2015 moratorium was imposed through a regulation of cabinet which could be repealed by cabinet," spokesperson Jean Bertin said in a written statement.

"However, government staff are investigating whether implementing regional resource development and outlining a mechanism for determining support would require amendments to legislation."

Where to start? Well David, since the last go-around leading up to an election on the issue of shale gas, dire predictions were made by the CCNB of NB, which you were heading, and they contributed greatly in a PR blitz condemning the practice of fracking. Meanwhile in both BC (with an NDP-Greens coalition government, both saying their avid defenders of the environment) and Alberta (ditto for the NDP government there) fracking has continued unabated. It has also continued unabated in most natural gas/oil areas of the US and worldwide. So why have we had no stories of a major catastrophe taking place in that time?
And now Mr. Austin seems to think that his elected MLA's voice carries more weight than municipalities, their councils, and rural councils. Here I thought the PANB was all about letting these areas decide for themselves?

Before you even think about fracking you spend years in the exploration phase doing seismic. Corridor spent 20 years and over a half billion dollars to get to where they are and they took no shortcuts. SWN Canada who came to explore under a deal with Shawn Graham's liberals were given a sweetheart deal with low royalties . The exploration they did was the easy stuff by using existing roads and trails and geochemistry sampling. The next phase in a search requires allot of people and money when you go from a 2D search to a 3D search.
Personally I think Corridor is only interested in their own little niche in the Sussex area and no other company has a desire to come here based on protests and fear mongering. We will continue to import Saudi Oil and natural gas will begin to flow north from the US on our Northeast pipeline.

How much will the province get in royalty payments? I've no objection to selling the asset if the price is right.

Will the companies involve post surety bonds from reputable outfits to hold NB taxpayers harmless if/when things go sideways and a major environmental expenditure is require? If not, are only the taxpayers in the jurisdictions that voted for it on the hook, or do those in jurisdictions that had no say in the decision have to pony up?

Politicians wedded themselves to this resource extraction proposal back when the price was $5 per GJ or more. It might have made some sense then, but at low prices it is too risky.

Make sure when you talk about popcorn in French you say maïs soufflé. If you say popcorn when talking with your buddies, you are using an anglicisme, thereby losing your culture and devaluing your language, which in turn will eventually lead to a uni-lingual New Brunswick (which is apparently not something you are willing to tolerate unless it is French). Ditto for hot dogs, "all dressed", steak, and don't even think of asking for "de la laitue" on your burgers; make sure you ask for "de la salade". Don't go looking for the English words in the French dictionary now; you'll find them and be completely disillusioned. In fact, you should probably give up the English language altogether. Please only post in French from now on. Thanks. Or should I say "merci bien mon ami".

Also when I order my sub at your working station I have to say laitue and not Lettuce ??? I am confused... by the way *anglicisme* is a French word you should not be using it in your perfect paragraph. Thanks Buddy !!

Marguerite Deschamps

@Marc Martin, he thinks he knows what an "anglicisme" is. But he doesn't. And "laitue" is the correct translation for "lettuce" and the translation for "salad" is "salade". And the words hail from the Fench as a lot of other English words.

The Unconventional Candidate
By Gisele McKnight

"FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos. The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada."

"Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians. "I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

"What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico

Peter Prosser has hit the nail on the head. Think about it....the government ( ahhh....eerrr that would be US NEW BRUNSWICKERS/CANADIANS... could build a HUGE natural gas fired power plant, sell us New Brunswickers electricity at at least half of what we pay now, and export the remaining ( 99.999%) for a huge profit into government coffers! We could get rid of our provincial debt, hire more doctors, nurses, teachers, police, fire, paramedics, etc. And live happily ever after...like Norway, ....or, we could allow BIG OIL, foreign or domestic, to come here, drill for the gas, take it all away south via pipeline ( as in Sable Island Gas) and just hope this years royalty check of a few hundred thousand will be bigger next year. ...and I don't want to hear replies that " they create employement here" as an excuse for giving away our wealth. Those same folks will be " employed" anyway ....if WE choose to keep our natural gas revenue here in our government bank accounts.


David Amos
David Amos
@daryl doucette We can buy all the natural gas we want cheap anyway. There is no need to frack for it. Why did Irving and Repsol build the LNG operation in Saint John and Emera a pipeline and then nothing happened?






PANB leader calls for House vote if Tories want to frack outside Sussex

The PCs hope to lift moratorium in Sussex area before the end of the year


People's Alliance of New Brunswick Leader Kris Austin said it would the 'wrong move' if the PCs were to lift the moratorium on areas outside Sussex without bringing the matter to the House for a vote. (James West/Canadian Press)

People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin says the new Higgs government will be making "a wrong move" if it allows shale gas development outside the Sussex area without a vote in the legislature.

Austin said he and his two fellow Alliance MLAs will want a say on any lifting of a province-wide moratorium in areas they represent.

While the party has promised to support the new Progressive Conservative minority government in confidence votes for 18 months, Austin said he'd allow his members a free vote on fracking in their ridings.

"If it affects our riding, and where we are elected, we certainly want a say in that. I'll just leave it at that," Austin said. "Our caucus wants a say in what happens in our ridings."

The PCs hope to lift the moratorium in the Sussex area before the end of the year and, eventually, in other areas where there is support.


PC MLA Bruce Northrup said the Tories hope to allow fracking in areas that support it by Christmas. (CBC)

"We're looking at different areas and municipalities that want it," Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins PC MLA Bruce Northrup said last week.

Corridor Resources started extracting gas in the Sussex area since 1999.

"They could proceed certainly in Sussex," Austin said Tuesday. "If they start going outside of that, I think they're going to have some problems on their hands if they don't bring it to the legislature for a vote. I think that would be a wrong move."

Liberal moratorium


The Liberal government imposed a moratorium on shale gas development in 2015.

The Liberals first amended the Oil and Natural Gas Act to give the cabinet the power to impose the moratorium through regulations. The cabinet then issued the order.

It's not clear whether the new PC government will introduce legislation to end the moratorium.


The Liberal-imposed moratorium was at a cabinet order, meaning it could be repealed by cabinet, according to a Tory spokesperson. 

"Technically speaking, the 2015 moratorium was imposed through a regulation of cabinet which could be repealed by cabinet," spokesperson Jean Bertin said in a written statement.

"However, government staff are investigating whether implementing regional resource development and outlining a mechanism for determining support would require amendments to legislation."

Austin said whether legislation is required or not, the issue should still come to a vote.

"Absolutely," he said. "With such a contentious issue like that, I think that all members should have a right to vote."
And he said he is not sure how he'd vote, given the chance.

"I don't know. I would have to go back to my constituents, talk to my people, try to get a feel for where my riding's at on it, then vote according to them.

'A line in the sand'


Fracking was a key issue in the 2014 election, in which the PCs campaigned on the need to "Say Yes" to resource development. The Liberals promised a moratorium and won a narrow majority.

In this year's campaign, PC Leader Blaine Higgs promised to lift the moratorium in areas of the province "where communities are interested in pursuing" development. He cited the Sussex area and Albert County as two possible examples.


Premier Blaine Higgs identified Sussex and Albert County as communities interested in shale gas development. (James West/Canadian Press)
He didn't say how a PC government would define the boundaries of those local areas.

Higgs said in August that he'd measure support for development by listening to municipal councils, then letting the consultations "spread out" to surrounding local service districts through open meetings.

Austin said the three Alliance MLAs will support the upcoming PC throne speech if it mentions lifting the moratorium.

"We're not going to collapse a government on a general statement in a throne speech on shale gas," Austin said.

Green Party Leader David Coon has already called fracking "a line in the sand" for him and all three of the party's MLAs said they would not support any change to the moratorium.


Green Party of New Brunswick Leader David Coon answers questions from the media. (James West/Canadian Press)

A Liberal spokesperson said Tuesday the party won't have any comment until its MLAs have been assigned their critic roles in the legislature.

The Liberals said they'd lift the moratorium if five conditions were met: a "social licence," or community approval, to extract shale gas; reliable data on health, environmental and water impacts; a plan to dispose of wastewater; proper Indigenous consultations; and a proper structure for the province to collect royalty payments.

The ethics and morals behind this room is awful. You set this young man up for failure for your greed..... You know who you are. Shame on you.

Brian Gallant has to take some responsibility... albeit, he was taken advantage of by the political backroom..... His ego let him believe his intelligence could make up for his lack of experience. Not.

We live in a Neoliberal society, where corporations shop for slave labour overseas in China, the Pacific Rim in general, Africa, Latin America, Mexico, Africa, and the list goes on...Close to 40 million slaves producing 150 billion dollars in slave made products....

The world's peoples are being exploited. These corporations are paying no taxes. They abandoned their home countries in search and exploitation of slave labour.

Then, there are the corporations that are staying "locally", but moving their profits to tax havens such as the Cayman Islands, Bermuda... and places you have never heard of.....

If you are wondering why your public services are suffering ......wonder no more... Your corporations are not paying their fair share of taxes.... Between moving to countries for slave labour, and / or moving their locally made profits to tax havens... the " we are all in it together" philosophy is gone with Neoliberalism.

This is what NewBrunswick and Canada has to wrestle with to save our future... If the climate does not kill us first.... And that is questionable.

3 little provinces, 3 governments on the east coast of Canada. 2 million people. Great ports to nearby World markets. Great major roads. Predictable climate. Been some home grown successful entrepreneurs, already but...
We keep electing the same types in the same old system every 4 years and expect different results. What’s the problem? We need representation throughout the 3 provinces but only one Premier. The current system of government in PEI, NS & NB is financially doomed unless Atlantic Canada speaks as one political voice. We should not wait for Ottawa to expand our markets. We need to do it.

Methinks everybody who play politics seriously knows one of my Forefathers is Daniel Keith. He was a Kings Ranger in the 1700s. He is buried in Fundy Royal where I often run for public office. Trust that my Father a former Tax Supervisor of this province was very proud to be a descendant of that British Loyalist.

However unlike my Father I am more like another Forefather of ours. He was Adam Amos . He challenged William Pitt the Younger politically in Scotland. History byway of Wikipedia tells us that Pitt increased taxes to pay for the great war against France and cracked down on radicalism. To engage the threat of Irish support for France, he engineered the Acts of Union 1800 and tried (but failed) to get Catholic emancipation as part of the Union. He created the "new Toryism", which revived the Tory Party and enabled it to stay in power for the next quarter-century.

Anyway Adam was forced to flee Scotland and settle in New Brunswick in the early 1800s. I truly believe he may have been on the same boat as the the ancestors of the Irving Clan and is buried near Amos Point which not far from Shediac N'esy Pas?

Speech in the House of Commons on the Stamp Act (14 January 1766), by William Pitt The Elder

It is my opinion, that this kingdom has no right to lay a tax upon the colonies. At the same time I assert the authority of this kingdom over the colonies to be sovereign and supreme in every circumstance of Government and legislation whatsoever. The colonists are the subjects of this kingdom, equally entitled with yourselves to all the natural rights of mankind and the peculiar privileges of Englishmen...The Americans are the sons, not the bastards, of England. Taxation is no part of the governing or legislative power...When, therefore, in this House we give and grant, we give and grant what is our own. But in an American tax, what do we do? We, your Majesty's Commons for Great Britain, give and grant to your Majesty,—what? Our own property?—No! We give and grant to your Majesty, the property of your Majesty's Commons of America...The distinction between legislation and taxation is essentially necessary to liberty...There is an idea in some, that the colonies are virtually represented in this House...Is he represented by any knight of the shire, in any county in this kingdom?...Or will you tell him that he is represented by any representative of a borough?—a borough which perhaps its own representatives never saw.—This is what is called the rotten part of the constitution. It cannot continue a century. If it does not drop, it must be amputated...I rejoice that America has resisted. Three millions of people so dead to all the feelings of liberty, as voluntarily to let themselves be made slaves, would have been fit instruments to make slaves of all the rest...The gentleman asks, When were the colonies emancipated? I desire to know when were they made slaves?

He was ill equipped for the job. He lacked maturity and leadership skills. The party would have been better off electing Mike Murphy as leader years ago. You can't buy maturity and experience. The last 4 years of politics in this province under the Gallant gov't have been nothing more for an joke with so many wrong decisions and it showed in the polls. When Gallant claimed that he didn't realize the divide between the anglophones and francophones in this province, it is proof of how out of touch he is with what is going on here in NB. The Liberals need to learn from this catastrophe and not make the same mistake twice.

David Amos

@Matt Steele So says the all knowing NDP dude.

Methinks the liberals deliberately exploited the divide between the two linguistic communities in order to pacify the support within the SANB electorate and more importantly hoping to split the vote on the right. Well they got the support they wanted in the north but it backfired bigtime in the south. The political rhetoric split the vote on the right enough to make Kris Austin a Kingmaker on the right. On the left except or the blueberry farmer up north the NDP bearly made dent in the liberal party bus but they lost two seats to the Greens in their traditional stomping grounds thereby making the Green leader who can't be named in CBC the Kingmaker on the left.

It is disgusting this French versus English nonsense has divided the province in two over something that should not have happened in this day and age whn we have so much more to be concerned about. However as an Independent I am enjoying the circus in the Legislature because the liberals and the PCs have lost a grip on our tax dollars and are grasping a straws to secure some sort of mandate. All the NDP candidates and many other political people who have laughed at me throughout 6 elections thus far are as much a loser as I am. With regards to your beloved party the actions of your old buddies Dominic Cardy and Kelly Lamrock now of the PC Party have caused the NDP have become a rather irrelevant party to most New Brunswickers Continue to ignore me if you wish. Yrust that I have grown accustomed to the NDP. I did run against your former president federal elections in 2004 and your latest leader in 2015.

Brian Gallant plans to resign as Liberal leader

Former New Brunswick premier tells caucus members he's decided to quit


Former New Brunswick premier Brian Gallant has told caucus members he will announce his resignation Thursday as leader of the provincial Liberal Party. (Michel Corriveau/Radio-Canada)


Brian Gallant plans to resign as New Brunswick Liberal leader.

Moncton East MLA Monique LeBlanc confirmed to Radio-Canada that Gallant told the caucus of his plans Wednesday afternoon.

"I have to admit I was a little sad," LeBlanc said. "I went into politics because of Brian. … We had four great years. I'm proud of the work we did."

Gallant will make the announcement to reporters at 11 a.m. on Thursday.

His decision comes in the wake of an election campaign in which the party was reduced to just 21 seats in the 49-member legislature. Gallant's government lost a confidence vote on Nov. 2 and the Progressive Conservatives were sworn into power last week.

Gallant's departure means the party must organize a leadership campaign quickly. With a minority PC government in power, an election could be triggered unexpectedly.
I think that the electorate wasn't convinced that our party was taking the financial situation seriously.- Susan Holt, unsuccessful Liberal candidate
Some Liberals have already signalled their interest in running for the leadership, with two of them saying the party needs a new direction.

Saint John-Rothesay Liberal MP Wayne Long and former provincial Liberal candidate Susan Holt both say Gallant's re-election campaign was hurt by a blitz of pre-writ government spending announcements, and a similar wave of campaign promises.

"The more and more good work we did and the more and more announcements we did, it seemed like the more and more people pushed away from that and viewed it very, very skeptically and with cynicism," Long said.

Sent mixed messages


He said the party needs a centrist message that supports spending on child care and education, "but we also have to make sure we're fiscally responsible."

Holt said that despite successive lower deficits in each year of the Liberal mandate, spending promises during the campaign made it appear the party was not committed to balancing the budget.


Susan Holt, who ran for the Liberals in September election, says she found the party's message cynical and negative. (CBC)

"I think that the electorate wasn't convinced that our party was taking the financial situation seriously," she said. "There was a sense we weren't serious about debt reduction, and I think we could have done a better job communicating our seriousness about the debt."

She also said she disliked the negative tone of the campaign, including Liberal advertising that attacked Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs, who is now the premier.

Party could be 'less negative'


"I think we could have been more positive and maybe less cynical in the campaign," she said. "Maybe by positive, I mean less negative."


Wayne Long, the Saint John-Rothesay MP, says the party's provincial election campaign was hurt by too many spending promises. (CBC)

Long said ahead of news of Gallant's announcement that he would not run for the leadership if the race began before next year's federal election, when he plans to run for a second term as MP.

Holt said she's merely responding to Liberals calling her to urge her to think about it.

"I'm not going to rush into a 'yes' if it doesn't feel like a 'yes.'"

Gallant admitted he was 'jaded'


In his closing speech before the confidence vote Nov. 2 and again at a news conference later that day and in opinion articles in newspapers, Gallant apologized for not doing a better job as premier.

He acknowledged that he won the leadership promising "a new approach" but became "too jaded and fell into some of the old adversarial ways of this place."

He said the election result was a wake-up call and he would try to be more collaborative "no matter which position I'll be occupying."

Long and Holt are just two names circulating among Liberals as potential leadership candidates.

Liberal MLAs Roger Melanson and Benoî​​t Bourque, also seen as possible candidates, did not respond to interview requests Wednesday.

Mayor not interested


Former MLA Donald Arseneault said he had "no immediate plans as I am enjoying living in Fredericton and Ottawa and looking at politics from a different perspective."

Moncton Mayor Dawn Arnold confirmed she has been approached.

"Yes, it has come up," she said in an email. "However, I am fully committed to the City of Moncton and continuing to move our city forward."

Federal Health Minister Ginette Petitpas-Taylor didn't respond to a request for comment on whether she'd jump into provincial politics.

'Break out the signs': Shale gas foes take to the streets again

Protesters say they're better organized than the last time the province allowed fracking

Pamela Ross, chair of the Council of Canadians chapter in Moncton, said many people at the protest brought the same signs they used in 2013. (Pierre Fournier/CBC)
 
 About two dozen anti-shale gas protesters waved signs to the beat of a drum on Thursday outside a Moncton hotel, site of a meeting to discuss natural gas supplies in the Maritimes.

The Progressive Conservatives, who took charge in the province last Friday, have said efforts will be made to lift a ban on fracking by the end of the year in communities that are open to shale gas.
But on Main Street on Thursday, protesters said any fracking in New Brunswick is too close to home.

"We all share the same aquifer," Pamela Ross, chair of the Council of Canadians chapter in Moncton, said as she carried  a "No shale gas" protest sign.
Hopefully, this will be the last time that I have to do this kind of protest.- Kenneth Francis, Kopit Lodge
Protesters are watching every move of the new government to see how far the reopened issue of fracking will go, Ross said.

"This is just a small showing for now, if push comes to shove, when it comes down to it, we'll be back on the highway, whether it's in Penobsquis or Kent County or anywhere else in this province, people are against it."

Ross said many of the dozens of signs used in the protest are from 2013, when protesters gathered in Rexton to rally against SWN Resources, a shale gas exploration company.

Kenneth Francis went to Moncton representing Kopit Lodge, a grassroots organization of Elsipogtog First Nation that focuses on water preservation and wildlife conservation. (Pierre Fournier/CBC)
 
 
A camp was erected by protesters from the surrounding communities, including nearby Elsipogtog First Nation. The protest ended in October 2013 after a clash that saw five police cars burned and 40 people arrested.

Kenneth Francis was there during the protests of 2013, and he travelled to Moncton from his Elsipogtog home to protest again on Thursday. Francis represents Kopit Lodge, a grassroots Mi'kmaq water preservation and wildlife conservation group based in Elsipogtog.

"Hopefully, this will be the last time that I have to do this kind of protest, because when SWN left, we started to organize but to fight in the boardrooms, and if not in the boardrooms, in the courtroom.

"We don't want to see a repeat of the craziness that happened."

Francis said the First Nation has filed an aboriginal title claim in court.

Inside the hotel and in the conference room, Ray Ritcey, CEO of the Maritime Energy Association, said he respects the rights of protesters but fracking operations in New Brunswick are not a topic of discussion at the meeting.

"We're really trying to find short, mid-term solutions to a gas supply gap that exists today and is only going to increase by Dec. 31 of this year."

Ray Ritcey, CEO of the Maritimes Energy Association, said the meeting Thursday that drew protesters was not about shale gas but about a coming gap in natural gas supplies in the region. (Pierre Fournier/CBC)
 
 
Because of dwindling supply, offshore drilling near Sable Island is expected to wrap up by the end of the year, he said.

Ritcey said he's in favour of lifting the moratorium in New Brunswick, but it would be a long-term solution to bolster natural gas supplies.

When the former Liberal government imposed the moratorium, it said five conditions had to be met before it was lifted: a community approval to extract shale gas; reliable data on health, environmental and water impacts; a plan to dispose of wastewater; proper Indigenous consultations, and a proper structure for the province to collect royalty payments.

Francis said proper consultations have not been done with indigenous communities, adding, "They have no consent from First Nations."

Never heard of this person or publication so of course out of curiosity I had to Google it. Hate speech, not so sure. Now I only read a PDF version of his latest newspaper and did not really spend much time on his web site. Certainly some objectionable views. Our charter of rights does guarantee freedom of expression. The written word is a form of expression. Do we start condemning things based on what we find objectionable? What if a group suddenly finds what you have to say is objectionable. My opinion is if there is no call to violence or acts of violence directed towards a particular group, belief, race etc. it should be protected no matter how objectionable it may seem. Now my freedom of expression, this is a fella whose butter definitely slipped off his knife. you know lights are on but no one is really home ...

Federal government issues permanent postal ban on hate speech publication

'Your Ward News promotes disgusting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, misogyny, homophobia, and racism.'


James Sears, editor of Your Ward News, has been charged with the wilful promotion of hatred against Jews and women. Today, the federal government announced it was permanently banning his publication from being distributed through Canada Post. (James Sears photo)

A Toronto-based publication widely criticized for disseminating hate speech against minorities, Jews, women and the LGBTQ community has been permanently banned from distribution through Canada Post.

In May of 2016, the federal government issued a temporary order banning Your Ward News from using Canada Post following a number of complaints about its discriminatory content.

A board of review was struck to review the decision; it held 11 public hearings between April of last year and Feb. 2018.

The final report of the review board recommended issuing a final order that would have the effect of prohibiting the publishers — or any agent of the publishers, or any other company publishing Your Ward News under a different name — from distributing hate propaganda through the mail.

"After having carefully considered the recommendations of the independent board of review, I have decided to issue a final prohibitory order that will prevent the delivery of the publication Your Ward News, or any substantially similar material developed by its authors, through Canada Post's unaddressed bulk mail," Carla Qualtrough, the minister responsible for Canada Post, said in a statement.

"My decision is consistent with the applicable legislation and the government's values and stance on inclusiveness and diversity."

Your Ward News publishes quarterly and bills itself as the "world's largest anti-Marxist publication." But it's been widely criticized as a purveyor of hate speech. Its editor and publisher both face charges of wilfully promoting hatred.

The newspaper is the brainchild of editor-in-chief James Sears, who has presented himself on his website as an expert in seduction skills. His licence to practise medicine was revoked after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting patients.

Sears and publisher Leroy St. Germaine, 76, were arrested and charged in November 2017 with the wilful promotion of hatred against women and Jews.

'This is totally unacceptable'


It was the first time in Ontario's history that a charge of wilful promotion of hatred against women had been laid, according to the Office of the Attorney General.

"We commend minister Qualtrough for her principled decision," said the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs in a statement Thursday.

"Your Ward News promotes disgusting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, misogyny, homophobia, and racism. Our taxpayer-funded mail service should not be used to distribute such hateful content to hundreds of thousands of households.

"It is shocking that such vile messages are being peddled here in Canada in 2018. Just think about a Holocaust Survivor picking up their mail only to find neo-Nazi propaganda on their doorstep. This is totally unacceptable."

'Hitler Fan Club'


In an editorial posted on the publication's website, Sears vowed to "continue to print and deliver 305,000 copies of our paper using private companies and our volunteer army."

In the same editorial, Sears also said that he will soon restart his monthly "Toronto Real Men" meetings to teach men seduction skills and the secrets of masculinity, and is planning to set up "a clubhouse for my Hitler Fan Club."

Political consultant Warren Kinsella and his wife Lisa started a group called Standing Together Against Mailing Prejudice (STAMP) to pressure Canada Post to halt delivery of the publication. Both said they were pleased with the government's decision Thursday.

"We are delighted and grateful that minister Qualtrough has taken concrete steps to prevent this hateful filth from being delivered to homes in the greater Toronto area and beyond," said Lisa Kinsella in a statement.

Did Gallant pass a law to create his moratorium? Or just make an executive order in council? Sometimes I despair of our 'leaders' and their profound disrespect for the assembly. We need a rational policy on shale gas development in NB. One that ensures NB is properly compensated for the depletion of the asset. One that excludes the carpetbaggers and snake-oil sellers from participation in the industry. And one that sets up adequate protections for the environment and other resources.

Someone needs to put a muzzle on Gallant. He still cannot accept his failure to lead, his failure to produce results, his financial disaster, his responsibility in the dishonesty of his government and now he has decided to work behind the scenes to continue to cause even more linguistic divide in NB.

Does he, and the libral party, not realize that every word from his mouth causes more damage to the province, and the liberal brand.
Have they noticed that there are only three libral governments left in Canada, in three of the smallest provinces.....and each of those are dropping in polls as well.

A large part of the current unrest of the Anglos in NB on the issue of official bilingualism is that any time a segment of the population (including those who elected 3 PANB MLA's) suggest that the way services are delivered are less than perfect and could be stream-lined in the areas of necessity and efficiency, the Liberals' response is always "well they just don't understand the requirements". A sort of "let them eat cake" response. It certainly isn't listening to a significant part of the population.

Gallants legacy will be a province sharply divided along English/French linesIn the end he became a hero for the French and ended up nearly bankrupting the province tgo fund "pork-barrel" handouts to mainly-French ridings even when there was concensus that other work (in Anglo areas) was more urgent.Just look at Shediac 'Scoudouc- Gallants seat- all the roads are brand new and shiny; nowhere else in the province has that.
.Ultimately the more well-off Anglos will leave rather than fund forced French language laws and French handouts. That will incapacitate the tax base and then all those rich Francophones who have been sucking the governments bosom will get bored and leave. All that will be left is a broke province with a population severely dependent on government handouts.
Hopefully there is time to turn it around but both the French and the Aboriginals think they have the final say in ANY provincial decision. So we have this complicated dance involving English/French/Aboriginal representatives each saying their side is the most legit and should have full veto.( To be fair Anglos have been compromising for 50 years but French still insist we have to spend more money to stop assimilation of the FRench- as if that is the provinces fault and problem-to-solve.
Higgs will need all of his ample skills to solve this one.

When the NDP leader quit and his buddy the ex liberal Attorney General went work for Higgs while the wife of the former wannabe leader of the liberals ran for him as well folks were no doubt confused.

@Tim Raworth, oh yes I do! There are still people today being hired as bilingual whose French is at the same level as Blaine Higgs. In the early 1960s, this province became officially bilingual. I don't hear bilingual Anglophones who took the initiative complaining. Those who were born in 1950 were 13 years old in 1963 and probably all retired. As to all the others, the opportunity was there; all they had to do was seize it.

She had held a job with the RCMP since 1954 . The fine Lady's position was deemed to be bilingual even though she had been doing it more than competently since she became a widow of a veteran of WWII who was killed in service in the army years later when my first wife was only 6 months old. In 1970 when I graduated High School she talked me to applying to the RCMP but i was refused out of the gate because I was one inch to short.

And how we have a nursing shortage when we produce 100s each year is mystifying and continues to have OR time shortages etc. Question is , is it a shortage or is it absenteeisms, so called sick leaves, stress crap, maternal leaves , language or what with the union.?

Good luck Mr. Gallant in your future endeavors. I was surprised and quite pleased with the comment he made a couple of weeks ago regarding " Official Bilingualism", that he did not realize how many folks in the province were negatively affected by it, and that he should have done more to address their concerns...well, if he had WON the election he probably would not have made that comment, but here we are today. Now, i'm hoping his replacement will take a good long look at " Official Bilingualism", and roll up his or her sleeves, keeping in mind Mr. Gallants comment, and do something to address the concerns of the folks Mr. Gallant referred to about being negatively affected by this issue...if he/ she plays their cards right they will be a " shoe in" in the next election.

'With a heavy heart,' Brian Gallant says he'll resign as Liberal leader

Former New Brunswick premier makes announcement at a news conference Thursday morning


Former New Brunswick premier Brian Gallant, accompanied by his wife, Karine Gallant, announces his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party. (James West/Canadian Press)


Brian Gallant has announced his intention to resign as Opposition leader and leader of the New Brunswick Liberal Party as soon as a new leader can be chosen.

The former premier made the announcement at a news conference at the Legislative Building on Thursday morning.

"It is with a heavy heart I will be resigning as Liberal Party leader of New Brunswick," said Gallant, whose party was diminished to 21 seats in the 49-member legislature, while the Progressive Conservatives won 22 seats.
I'm proud to say I'm leaving the province in a better state than when I became premier.- Brian Gallant, opposition leader 
"It has been an absolute honour to serve as premier and leader of the Liberal Party."

Gallant said he'll stay on as leader for now to provide some stability while the party prepares to find a new leader. He did not say whether he would stay on as an MLA for Shediac Bay-Dieppe until New Brunswick's next election. ​

After Liberals elect new leader, Gallant said, he has "no idea what I'll do next."

Addressing bilingualism 


He did make it clear he plans to speak about official bilingualism, its merits, the myths about it, and concerns New Brunswickers might have.

"As a province I think we can strengthen our social fabric and be more united than ever if we talk about this issue in a fact-based, respectful way," he said.
"I think that we can find common ground and … the more people [who] know the facts, the better informed they will be for this important discussion that we're clearly going to have as a province."

Much of Gallant's resignation announcement sounded like a campaign speech as he ran through what was accomplished during his four years as premier, although he did acknowledge there were "a few hiccups and mistakes along the way."

"I'm proud to say I'm leaving the province in a better state than when I became premier," he said.

After the Sept. 24 election, Gallant said he would try to continue governing the province.



Legislature will meet next Tuesday morning to prorogue the first session (the one in which the Liberals delivered a throne speech, introduced two bills, and were defeated). A new session with PC throne speech will begin at 1 p.m. that afternoon.



He met with Lt.-Gov. Jocelyne Roy Vienneau, and received permission to continue governing, while he and his Liberals tried to win the confidence of the legislature — with fewer seats than their main opponents.


CBC News
Brian Gallant loses confidence vote
 New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant lost the confidence vote in the legislature 25-23. 1:34


But the Gallant government fell Nov. 2, when 22 Progressive Conservatives and three People's Alliance MLAs voted to defeat it. Twenty Liberals and three Greens voted to keep the government alive.

As a result, Premier Blaine Higgs and his Progressive Conservatives were sworn into power last week.

On Friday, Gallant advised Higgs not to govern as if he has a majority, and he cited shale gas development as something Higgs doesn't have a mandate to resume. The Liberals had imposed a moratorium on fracking, but Higgs has said his government will allow it in areas where local people want it.

Gallant said his party wasn't perfect and he admitted he wasn't a perfect leader. But he said the Liberals increased tourism in New Brunswick, cut taxes for small businesses, grew the economy and reduced the number of job losses across the province, all while addressing the provincial deficit.

Moving forward he said the Liberal Party is the best party to grow economy, strengthen education, address health care wait-times, advance women's equality, protect the environment and cut the deficit.

Gallant became 'too jaded'


In his closing speech before the confidence vote on Nov. 2 and again at a news conference later that day, Gallant apologized for not doing a better job as premier.

He said the election result was a wake-up call and he would try to be more collaborative "no matter which position I'll be occupying."


Gallant speaks at the end of the throne speech debate earlier this month. Gallant's Liberal government was then defeated. (James West/Canadian Press)
He acknowledged that he won the leadership promising "a new approach" but became "too jaded and fell into some of the old adversarial ways of this place."

Gallant blamed the news media for covering more adversarial topics.

"Sometimes, when there's an important issue, politicians feel like they have to take on those adversarial ways to get a little bit of attention from the media," he said.

"But it's not an excuse. We all have to be mature about the roles we've been asked to play here."

Gallant's resignation means the party will have to plan a leadership campaign quickly. And with a minority PC government in power — an election could happen at any time.

 

Kris Austin bids farewell


On the eve of Gallant's expected resignation, People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin wished him well, but wasn't surprised by his decision.

"I figured this would be the outcome. Based on years of tradition, when a party loses an election, it's common for the leader to resign," Austin said in a statement.


Kris Austin, the leader of the People's Alliance Party, said he wasn't surprised Gallant wants to resign as Liberal leader. (CBC)
"I want to thank him for his years of service to the province as its premier and I wish him well in his future."

The Unconventional Candidate
By Gisele McKnight

"FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos. The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada."

"Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians. "I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

"What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico

"Since 1982, so little has been heard about the Parti Acadien that, as many observers have said, it is a party in its death throes, with little hope of survival at this point. When the Parti Acadien retreated from the political scene the so-called moderate elements of the Acadian nationalist movement discussed the possibility of forming another political party with the goal of urging the reforms proposed by the present Conservative government.

From 1984 to 1986 there was a strong resurgence of ethnic polarisation in New Brunswick including creation of an English-language group led by Len Poore, waging an all-out campaign against bilingualism under the slogan: More bilingualism, fewer jobs for anglophones. The racist tenor of this campaign against Acadians was unparalleled.

In the meantime, the SANB attempted to regain credibility by presenting itself as the conciliator in the conflict surrounding the death of l'Evangéline, and the defender of government reforms, by way of demands for corporatist reforms such as the establishment of French-language agricultural or municipal associations. The SANB has also worked to bring back into its fold those segments of the Acadian establishment that had not been seen for a decade. It must be noted that this fresh involvement was made possible by the departure of most of the progressive activists, so that the organization's image could be improved in the eyes of the elites. The Conférence des Institutions Acadiennes accordingly became useless and was dissolved. The SANB again became a respectable place to be seen."

Politically speaking, this is stupid of the Liberals. There will very likely be an election within the next 12-18 months, without a permanent leader they might as well hand a majority to Blaine Higgs. A leadership review would make more sense, or sending out their MLA's around the province and actually sit down and listen to what people are saying.

@Layton Bennett "Politically speaking, this is stupid of the Liberals"

Methinks I explained the same reasoning yesterday but many believe the next election is right around the corner in the New Year and so do I. The liberals have lots of money to run a winter campaign and the PCs have none. They won the popular vote and the riding they now hold are secure. However the PCs could lose even more seats to the PANB and possibly the Greens next time. The liberals just have to be careful that they aren't the ones who cause the writ to be dropped This fracking and bilingual nonsense is playing right into their hand in this wicked game and their pals in CBC are cetainly fanning the flames N'esy Pas?

This pales in comparison to the salary of the governor-general and all the perks that come with it. It's a totally useless non-elected position and we keep paying them a pension and expenses after they retire. Adrienne Clarkson has cost us over a million dollars in expenses since she retired. But I suppose, that's OK eh given that she represents the Malarkey?

Another reason New Brunswick is bankrupt. financially politically and emotionally Bankrupt .

Those leading do not know how to get the financial house in order. those leading spend big for votes and then tax bigger while in power .. Those that foot the bill . New Brunswick citizens cannot afford to live there any more so they leave . As I did.

And leads to people emotionally bankrupt with no hope of a better future in that province .

It is more then disgusting that this guy could get a pension of $50,000 a year for being a disaster loser of a Premiere.

He should , but will not, do the right thing . Step down retire and let a by election take place

@Mark Murphy "New Brunswick citizens cannot afford to live there any more so they leave . As I did."

Methinks political lawyers such as the turncoat Murphys of Moncton should have informed the other Murphy folks of the awful truth that journalists such as Steve Murphy of CTV, his old buddy Senator Duffy and the Irving Clan have known all along. The Golden Rule truly is "He With the Gold Makes the Rules. Furthermore everybody knows it and nobody cares. Hence we get the governments we deserve N'esy Pas?

Gallant will enjoy financial perks of decision to stay Liberal leader until successor found

Gallant will be in line for a pension if he remains MLA for 2 more years

Former premier Brian Gallant's decision to remain as party leader while Liberals choose a replacement departs from the normal practice of provincial leaders stepping aside quickly following a resignation announcement.

But there are no rules against it and, in Gallant's case, a number of significant financial advantages.

"Usually it's a quick exit," said University of New Brunswick political scientist J.P. Lewis, who believes it could be workable if other MLAs are supportive, including those who might run to replace Gallant.

"If there isn't trouble within caucus, then maybe he can be that kind of caretaker leader. It's a really tough question to answer."

On Thursday, Gallant announced he has decided to resign as Liberal leader but not until the party holds a leadership convention

"In these uncharted waters of a minority government I will stay at the helm of the party to provide some stability while the party chooses its next leader for the next election," he said.


CBC News
Brian Gallant resigns
 Brian Gallant announced his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party. Now we look back at his time as leader. 0:55
  

 It was a tough call, according to Gallant, who says he came close to resigning as leader last month but was talked out of it by other MLAs and supportive members of the public

"I have really struggled with the decision. I think there's a lot of arguments to go one way or the other," said Gallant.

"It really is the support shown by Liberals, by New Brunswickers and by the caucus asking me to continue."


Financial benefits


Although it was not mentioned as a factor, any decisions Gallant makes about his political future also come with significant personal financial consequences.

The position of leader of the Opposition pays $55,000 more than being an MLA — $140,000 in total — and as long as Gallant remains an MLA and leader of the party that salary belongs to him.
I think the answer is in the temperature of the caucus room.- J.P. Lewis, UNB associate professor
It's close to the $152,000 he earned as premier and makes for a less jarring personal transition.

But the more significant financial issue facing Gallant revolves around how long he decides to serve as an MLA once a new leader is chosen.

Gallant's rise to political prominence was so rapid he is the only premier to lose office in the last 50 years without enough elected service to qualify for an MLA pension.

At 36, he's a long way from having to worry about retirement, but if Gallant remains an MLA for at least two more years he will have, depending on inflation and the performance of the MLA pension fund, an annual MLA and ministerial retirement income of close to $50,000 per year waiting when he reaches the age of 60.

It's not unusual for former premiers to remain MLAs for a time after losing government, but none have served an entire term.

Bernard Lord resigned his seat almost immediately following his government's election loss in 2006, but David Alward, Shawn Graham and Camille Thériault all served as MLAs after governments they led were defeated.

Still, all departed before their permanent replacement arrived to sit in the legislature.

The quickest Liberals have moved to pick a new leader in recent years was the selection of Thériault in May 1998, seven months after the surprise resignation of Frank McKenna.

Others have taken much longer. The convention that picked Gallant in October 2012 occurred nearly two years after the resignation of Shawn Graham.

Lewis said all Liberal MLAs, including those with ambitions to replace Gallant, will have to get used to the former premier's new role before it will be clear whether his remaining leader of the Opposition for a time will work smoothly.

"I think the answer is in the temperature of the caucus room," said Lewis. "It's hard to say."

"And after two days of going through all the ballots, it beared out

Justice Hugh McLellan won't rule yet on who picks up recount tab

Judge says it's premature to make a ruling about costs

A Court of Queen's bench judge involved in one of the judicial recounts says it would be premature to make a ruling about who should pick up the tab.

"I would like to defer making any rulings on costs in this matter until both parties have an opportunity to ask Elections New Brunswick if they would like to make a contribution to their costs," said Justice Hugh McLellan in a written decision released Friday.

Today in Saint John Harbour, a Liberal victory — and the accuracy of the vote count through computerized tabulators — was confirmed by a manual recount of the paper ballots.

Liberal Ed Doherty defeated Progressive Conservative Carl Killen by 71 votes.
"Well, I'm absolutely delighted," said Doherty, as elections officials wheeled boxes containing the 5,200 paper ballots out of the Saint John Law Courts building.

"I'd like to thank the constituents who had confidence in me. It was validated when the tabulation machine jived with the manual count," he said.

The Saint John Harbour recount, which began Thursday and concluded around mid-day Friday, was the first of seven judicial recounts to be completed.

Under provincial legislation, Elections New Brunswick must pay for recounts in ridings with a winning majority of less than 25 votes.

But in races decided by more than 25 votes, the party that applies for a recount that doesn't result in a change, must foot the bill.

Liberal lawyer Tom O'Neil requested costs of $5,000 from the Progressive Conservatives for the Saint John Harbour recount.


Elections officers loaded boxes of ballots into a pickup truck on Friday following the recount for the Saint John Harbour riding. (CBC) 
The lawyer for the Tories, however, argued the party should only have to pay $500 because of the unique circumstances.
McLellan declined to rule on the request for costs. Instead, he instructed O'Neil to request money from Elections New Brunswick, suggesting the agency should pony up, given the election night "confusion."

On election night, the use of an untested software by Elections New Brunswick to transmit results recorded through the automated vote-counting tabulator system saw vote counts stall and then appear to drop before finally concluding.

The resulting confusion and delays meant it was about five hours after the polls closed before Elections New Brunswick could declare Brian Gallant's Liberals had won a majority government, with 27 seats compared to 21 for the Progressive Conservatives and a single Green Party seat.

With the resulting confusion, the Progressive Conservatives applied for recounts in six ridings, while People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin applied for a recount in Fredericton-Grant Lake, which he lost by 26 votes to Tory Pam Lynch.

Recount important for 'public confidence'


The margin of victory in the Saint Harbour recount was the same as the 71-vote victory Doherty posted over Killen in the Sept. 22 election.

The manual recount turned up only one mistake — one too many votes for Green Party candidate Wayne Dryer.

Still, Killen says the recount was worthwhile.

"There was so much confusion that night and such a kerfuffle it was important I think, from the perspective of public confidence, to go through this process," he said.

Elections New Brunswick returning officer John Campbell was ecstatic about the recount results.

"Even [election] night I was fully confident in our process — that it was fair, that the numbers would bear out," he said.


"And after two days of going through all the ballots, it beared out right to the last number, so I'm quite confident and quite thankful it turned out this way."

The closest race was in Saint John East, where Liberal Gary Keating recorded an eight-vote win over PC Gary Savoie. One additional vote went to Keating through the recount.

Recounts are also taking place in Charlotte-Campobello, Shippagan-Lamèque-Miscou, Fredericton North and Fredericton-Grand Lake.

Those results are expected over the weekend.

Hey
      For the record I refused to give Mr. Paddy Addison the original
documents today because I need them as evidence to use against the
Crown in Federal Court. The reason for me to do so should be obvious
for any clever lawyer to understand. Furthermore even the government
must admit that the folks who were good enough to affirm my rights and
sign my nomination papers have the right to their privacy. Whereas it
was the Crown that refused me my right to run for a seat in New
Brunswick's Legislature before I could file the document that is
hereto attached I truly believe it is particularly important for me to
protect their privacy. What say you?.
      However this email does prove that I at least obeyed the rules
and attemtped to employ my rights within a timely and ethical fashion
to expose public corruption in a ligit fashion in an important
politcal forum in New Brunswick. Also attached to this email is photo
of my witness to all that was said and done over the past two days.
The Crown must understand that it wasted his precious time as well.
Now the Crown is too late to correct its mistakes EH?
      In my humble opinion the Crown and the public corruption it
supports should have alowed me to run and lose according to the rules.
However it appears to me that the politicians acting against me behind
the scenes are very afraid of what I may say in a public forum in
Saint John Harbour. I know that Bernard Lord thinks that Ms. Hooton is
a shoein in his sneaky snap election. however many Maritimers
recognize when a politician is just pulling a fast one. I truly think
that Annise Hollies and Brad Green should have rethought their
positions and called me back before the Bell tolled on 2 P.M. today,
particularly in light of the material I served upon Paddy Addison
yesterday in his office as agent for the Crown and refused to take
back after he had denied me my rights.
      Now that it is Chinese Dentist time I have come screaming back
just like last year's toothache that everybody is trying so hard to
ignore. Feel free to argue me byway of your lawyers now. Cya'll in
Federal Courts.

Hey
      A rather fierce political animal  who was born and raised in the
Maritimes is about to rear his ugly head and scream bloody murder in a
very ethical and political fashion. Rest assured that I do not expect
to get elected but as a citizen I do have the right to be heard.
Raising a little hell  in an ethical fashion in a political forum
before Humpty Dumpty is forced to drop the writ on the next federal
election is a very important thing for me to do for the benefit of my
own Clan and all Maritimers as well. My concerns and interests are the
same as all Canadians who are not on the gravy train of rampant public
corruption.
         Before making a sincere and diligent effort to have my name
on the ballot in the upcoming snap by -election inspired by Lizzy Weir
and her new Little Lord, I read the Elections Act. I truly believe
that I have the right to run. However it appears that it will be the
Justice Department under the Politician Brad Green's direction that
may challenge my right to run for a seat in the legislature. I have no
doubt whatsoever that the little Lord of New Brunswick and his cohorts
will do their best to stop me for their best interests alone. Never
forget it was the Queen's men that threw me out of the Legislative
Building in Fredericton while I was running for Parliament last year
and the Justice System of New Brunswick covered up the truth of the
matter before I was falsely imprisoned in a Yankee Jail in Beantown
last year. Any smart lawyer will understand how the Sovereign immunity
of the Crown went out the window with the Holy See's.
       To head the little Lord off at the pass so to speak, the devil
made me call the elections folks in Fredericton and Saint John and the
following three folks amongst many others to explain why I find this
necessary for me to do so. Dan Robichaud 506-636-7094, Michelle Hooton
506 635-0213, Dr. Ed Doherty 506 552-1145. If anyone wishes to have my
actions explained to them and does not trust my words and deeds
perhaps they should ask of me to the President of the NDP, Pat
Hannratty, or Greg Byrne, the President of the Liberals or the little
Lord himself after they read the text of the following letter.
        Here is hoping some Proud Canadians like me read on, check my
work and then challenge my ethics and that of all the other smiling
bastards as well. In the end I will be still smiling. You can take
that to the Federal Reserve Bank after some Yankees check the work of
the SEC and George W. Bush. The buck does stop there. The Holy See is
praying that it don't. Ask me why I Double Dog Dare ya. Better yet ask
Whitey Bulger if you can find him. His dwarf of a brother ain't saying
nothing. He took the fifth a long time ago.
I am not speaking in riddles. My matters are very complicated that s
all. Blame lawyers not me for that fact. The dudes in the FBI that are
receiving this email know exactly what I am talking about and so does
the Suffolk county Assistant District attorney Alicia S. McDonnell and
all her political bosses. The nasty Yankee ADA keeps on trying to call
me crazy. Yet she knows for certain I am only crazy like a fox.
Malevolent Yankee lawyers look like chickens to the pigheaded mangey
old dog of a Maritimer that is me. I now have the proof i required of
her friend Judge Hanlon's malice. I needed it to sue the Crown.

c/o Marie-Josee Groulx,
Director Democracy Watch
Commission on Legislative Democracy                           P.O. Box
821, Station B
590 Queen Street, Room: 100
Ottawa, Ont. K1P 5P9
Fredericton, NB. E3B 7H9
                                                     RE: Corruption
To Whom it may Concern,
         Please find enclosed exactly the same material served upon
New Brunswick’s Lieutenant-Governor Hermenegilde Chiasson and many
others including the Law Society of New Brunswick. The copy of wiretap
tape numbered 139 is served upon you in confidence as officers of the
court in order that it may be properly investigated.
Although this letter is delivered to the offices of Lynne Castonguay
and Duff Conacher for their review I have addressed the letter
enclosed to anyone that wishes to read the documents. We are all part
of the same democracy and should share the same concerns about those
who are charged with upholding the public trust. Whereas I cannot
afford to trust anyone these days I have mailed this letter to
Conacher today and I will serve the other in person tomorrow to the
office of the Commission on Legislative Democracy before I Meet with
the Police Commission. I am concerned that my adversaries my try to
use some sort of Lieutenant-Governor’s warrant against me in order to
stop my legitimate defence of my family’s interests and rights.
The following are the words of Ms. Castonguay. I have been as brief as
possible because the documents and the CD speak for themselves. "The
New Brunswick government has a responsibility to listen to the people.
The Commission will receive briefs from the public and will make
recommendations to the government concerning the democratic process.
Its mandate is broad and will make it possible to gather people’s
ideas and concerns. For me, this work is important because it directly
affects the people of New Brunswick ."
I find that the Commission has a very questionable mandate when it is
to report to only one man. Although I agree with Mr. Lamrock’s
statements about this, his words don’t ring true in light of the fact
that he shares his office with T. J. Burke, another lawyer that I did
serve this material upon the day I was banned from the legislature
building. I did inform Mr. Lamrock of this material’s existence and in
his associate’s possession. He has had a lot to say to everyone about
many things but nothing at all to say to me. The same holds true for
Duff Conacher. He and I have crossed paths many times in the past. The
doings between Howard Wilson and I should have caused him to sit up
and pay attention. However I only received a call from his office just
once after I had had a little talk with the folks at The Hill Times
about Aaron Freeman and Ralph Nader. Now I see that Freeman is no
longer a Board member of Democracy Watch.
I find both of your organizations very interesting to say the least.
Please make no mistake, I am stress testing your ethics to the max
before I return to the USA and argue Mr. Ashcroft’s cohorts. I am
truly in the pursuit of friends not foes but I will welcome any
argument from a lawyer that refuses to uphold the law. I have made it
well known that I find our country to be in an absolutely disgraceful
state and that it has been brought upon us by the work of many a
corrupt lawyer. That is the reason many fellow Canadians such as I
have never voted. It is time for a change. All that needs to be done
to rectify the situation is to make certain that the laws that already
exist are upheld and the ones who break them are held accountable.
Any layman can glance at these documents and easily see that I have
worked very hard to put many a low man in high places in two countries
in a very big fix. Someone must be diligent and ethical if lawyers
refuse to act in such a fashion. This is no conspiracy theory. It is
evidence of irrefutable facts. It is just the tip of the iceberg.
There is much more to tell but this is enough to ask the simple
question. What say you?
I ask that Lynne Castonguay and Duff Conacher study this material
closely. I have provided it to them at considerable effort and
expense. This material does fall well within the realms of their
stated concerns about our democracy. If they do not provide me an
answer to this letter in writing, I will consider them to be part of
the problem rather than the cure. If nothing else I may call them to
testify in a court and before a jury of my peers. I will expect them
to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help
them their god.

>> I am am not a perfect person and neither is Bobby. I do not know him

>> the Masters of War because they have offended him greatly. It is for
>> his attorney to weed out the truth and evidence of his convictions and

>>
>> The seminar will be held in the F. A. Hayek Auditorium of the Cato

>>
>> Our goal is to help attendees become the people to whom their friends

>> tends to generate disaster. And there's a reason it's being held in
>> Washington, D.C. You see, we want to change fundamentally the culture

>> (minus a substantial cut, of course). Or writing minute and
>> incomprehensible "regulations" on the optimal size of broccoli, or
>> warning people to wear sensible shoes, or just figuring out new ways
>> to strip American citizens of their rights and dignity.
>>
>> You can come to D.C. for a long weekend and learn how to change that.
>> You'll learn how to make the arguments that will convince your
>> friends, coworkers, and neighbors that they don't need or benefit from
>> all those rules, redistributions, regulations, and rip-offs.
>>
>> You're invited to attend one Cato University seminar, or two, or
>> three. Each is a stand alone seminar, but all three are complementary.
>> (The other two are on history and on the art and technique of
>> persuasion.)
>>
>> Please check out the faculty and schedule, and register using our

>>
>> THAT upon being retained, Mr. Edward Roberts wrote a letter to Mr.
>> Prior. That letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit “1" to my
>> Affidavit.
>>
>> THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts’ letter to Mr. Prior, Mr. Roberts

>> an Affidavit acknowledging that what had been said in that publication
>> was false. That Affidavit is attached as Exhibit “3" to my Affidavit.
>> Following Mr. Roberts’ receipt of that Affidavit, Mr. Matthews advised
>> that he was satisfied not to pursue the matter any further and our
>> firm closed our file.
>>
>> THAT on or about 25 October 2004, I was retained by Mr. Matthews
>> following his gaining knowledge that a web site, made a series of
>> allegations against him relating to my having sex with a girl of
>> approximately 12 years old through to an approximate age of 15 years
>> old. It also accused him of being a father of one of her children and
>> accused him of having raped that girl. Upon checking the web site I
>> saw that Byron Prior, the Defendant, had been identified as the author
>> of the material on the site.
>>
>> THAT Mr. Matthews instructed me to write Mr. Prior, to remind him of
>> the fact that the allegations had been admitted to being false through
>> a 16 May 2002 Affidavit to advise him of Mr. Matthews’ intentions to
>> commence legal proceedings if the comments were not removed from the

>> Amos addressed to John Crosbie, Edward Roberts, in his capacity as
>> Lieutenant Governor, Danny Williams, in his capacity as Premier of

> Mining: Government will continue to monitor and be engaged, premier says
> C1JON MACNEILL
> TELEGRAPH-JOURNAL
>
> Premier David Alward spoke to reporters Friday outside the
> legislature, saying his government was 'pleased' with the federal
> government's decision to block the proposed foreign takeover of Potash
> Corp. of Saskatchewan.  Photo: Cindy Wilson/Telegraph-JournalOttawa on
> Wednesday rejected a US$40-billion offer from Australian mining giant
> BHP Billiton to buy Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, which has mining
> operations in Sussex. Alward told reporters he's already spoken with
> Industry Minister Tony Clement since the federal MP announced
> Wednesday he would block BHP Billiton's US$40-billion takeover attempt
> of Potash Corp., which operates a mine in Penobsquis, east of Sussex.
> In rejecting the deal, Clement gave the Anglo-Australian mining giant
> 30 days to convince the federal government that the takeover
> represents a net-benefit to Canada.
> Alward said he'll "continue to convey our concerns" to Ottawa and the
> industry minister, specifically.
> "We're going to continue to monitor it and be engaged as we have thus
> far," the premier said. "Certainly, I thanked him (Clement) for the
> decision that was taken. It was not an easy decision."
> In August, BHP Billiton made an unsolicited offer of $130 per share on
> Potash Corp., the world's largest potash producer which operates six
> mines in Saskatchewan and one in New Brunswick.
> The Penobsquis mine employs around 330 people. Construction is well
> underway on a $1.66 billion expansion that will see another 130
> full-time jobs created when it's complete in 2012. There are currently
> around 950 construction workers employed on the project.
> On Thursday, Liberal MLA Donald Arsenault accused the government of
> being "caught off guard" by the takeover bid and its potential
> implications for New Brunswick. He challenged the premier to show
> greater leadership in the next 30 days as BHP Billiton re-evaluates
> its offer.
> Alward retorted Friday, saying his government clearly stated its
> position on the takeover in a letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper
> on Oct. 27.
> In the letter, Alward asked the federal government to impose
> conditions on the takeover that would safeguard jobs and royalties
> from the Penobsquis operation and expansion in nearby Picadilly.
> "We brought forward a measured approach and I'm certainly pleased with
> the success that we've had thus far," Alward said. "We need to ensure
> that New Brunswick's interests (and) the investment that has been
> started (in the new shaft), whether it be royalties, whether it be
> jobs, have continued opportunity to grow."
> The premier also fired back at Arsenault, saying the former Liberal
> government remained silent when the takeover first surfaced in mid
> August.
> "This has been something that has been brewing for a while and it's
> interesting that his (Arsenault's) government remained very quiet,"
> Alward said.
> Arsenault wasn't available for comment on Friday.

FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD TO THE SCUM OF THE EARTH IN A MATTER OF MONTHS!!!! 




citymotel
Originally uploaded by Oldmaison

Last week, I was approached by someone with an interesting story.

It's a tale of a guy who was on top of the world but came down pretty hard.

He used to be the owner of the City Motel in Fredericton.



00034


His name is Jim.

Jim was doing ok until his whole world came crashing down. I mean REALLY DOWN!!!

Until his downfall, he used to mingle with the higher ups of society.

He leased the City Motel for 10 years. I might add that he also owned the Lobster Hut which was attached to the Motel.

Many politicians would stay over night in that building. Ohhhhh???? If walls could talk??? But Jim sure can!!!!

Jim took his business very seriously!

He told me that if he was still the owner of the Motel and he would have seen this blogger in the building? He would have asked me to leave the area. I wouldn't even be allowed in the parking lot. Only if I was invited to the motel by the politicians in advance.

He made certain the MLA'S had privacy from the media.

Speaking of privacy? He went so far as building this back door so they could maintain their privacy.


0004000038


A meeting was arranged and I met with Jim.

He told me some very interesting tales raging from the politicians to the way the Fredericton Police Force handled his case.

Especially the story he told the Government that he would go public with some stories he seen in his motel?

The Government quickly reacted. It was sort of like my case of telling our elected officials that I would go public with the murder? < This is the only reason I was told that I was banned from the Legislature >

The Liberals quickly told me that they would haul me in court for Harassment!!!

I explained to Jim I was a blogger and anyone can become a journalist by writing their story and I'll blog it.

Too bad my recorder is broken because I would have just interviewed the guy. So we have to do it the hard way.

The interesting issue on this one? It was a Civil matter and the media still managed to put the story on the front page.


motel1



Also added was the Fredericton Police Force supervised the eviction.

What's with this????

Once this hit the front page? Jim’s life began his downward spiral.

Jim was the type of guy who was involved in all kinds of political events and he had a Carte Blanche to visit the P.C’S in their building but all this came to a sudden halt once he was told - In the future, he would have to make an appointment.

Jim didn't like the way he was treated so he threaten to go public with his stories of going ons in his Motel.



00041


Well, he ended up in a mental ward for three months because of other issues.

Well? After chatting with the guy, he didn't look coo coo to me?

He sounded very sincere with his emotional stories.

I'll be blogging the tales during the next few weeks.



jim


Stay tuned....

P.S. I hope I'm not shot on the streets because of this one?

Truly stay tuned....

I know Jim Oickle and have always thought of him as an honest and sincere person. What happened to him was wrong wrong wrong, from the way he was treated by the owners of the City Motel / Lobster Hut who stole his business to him being thrown in the Restigouche Institution in Campbellton because he wouldn't take the crap from anyone anymore. It's amazing what can happen when you start to threaten the establishment with their dirty little secrets. It's about time Jim's story was told. He has suffered so much, I think that this might help him by getting it off his shoulders. I bet a few people aren't going to be happy about it though... his enemies will be out with their knives soon enough...be brave Jim!

There will be no stories told.

Hey Charles, I'm not sure if you have done a story on this but the Woolastook Park situation with Fred (Paget) and him losing it under "interesting circumstances". With camping season on the way, it will be interesting.
By the way, I think he did a great job. the park was closed when the Gov't owned it because they couldn't maintain it now he has put his life savings into it, they want it back - ridiculous!

charles,
i am glad you wrote a story about jim. i used to work in that building for both the lobster hut and the motel and loved every minute of it.

it's a shame, because the city motel and lobster hut was a good place to go and i was actually proud to say that i worked there instead of mcdonalds like everyone else my age, at the time.

i was there the day the cops all showed up at the motel. i went to the front desk and asked what was going on and my supervisor told me to go home. whoever took over the motel stopped giving me hours and wouldn't give me a reason as to why they stopped scheduling me. instead they said "we'll call you when we need you back", i figured i would wait a bit, and i never got that call back. i was 19, living on my own, paying my own bills and groceries and they didn't even care. i had to move back home and to this day, i will not step foot into that hotel or suggest anyone go there, because it isn't the same.

they ruined the look of the city motel and its not as inviting as it used to be when jim was running it. its quite a shame, really, and a stupid move on their part because now, all you see is an empty parking lot.

i am happy to hear he is still kicking around.

Now you've got my curiousity up. What happened at the City Motel / Lobter Hut anyways? I remember seeing it in the paper, looked like a big scam on the part of the owners to me. Wait until he's just about to take over the lease and steal it from him. We never did hear Jim's side of the story about how those creeps took his business away from him. I used to like the way it looked too, it had character. I think they even used to promote it on the tourism brochures because it was so interesting. Now it looks like any old place on the side of a highway. BORING. The empty parking lot tells it all. Didn't take them long to ruin a good business.

Charles I'm writing this comment to see if you get comments posted on stories this old. If so I think its time we tell the rest of the story.
I will answer any questions your readers wish to put to me in regards to what they have heard about me. I promise to tell only the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
You had a comment from a sister that I no longer see. Is it possible to retrieve it?
Charles LeBlancsaid...
Nope...you told me to remove those stories...

sorry...
James said...
Good. Better that way, I'm sure an Anon will bring it up in regards to another issue and I will deal with it then. Thanks for taking it down when I asked. Love the Bedbug Story, this place needed to be looked at back when I was in business 4 years ago. Keep up the good work.

The dominance of China in world trade is now virtually assured by the weak and dangerously wrongheaded US political leadership.

The best Canada can hope for is that we are successful with our efforts to expand trade.


David Amos
David Amos 
@Richard Dunphy Many moons ago Trudeau the Elder while ignoring the sleeping dragon overseas and teasing Russians in a Cold War compared us with Yankees as a mouse being in bed with an elephant. Justin's Papa Pierre played his wicked games with the Bank of Canada and Castro etc order to become a big dude in the UN. Obviously Harper did not care about the UN just like his buddy Georgey Boy Bush and the evil lawyer Bolton never did.

Whereas Trudeau The Elder tied our little loonie to the US petrodollar and the bankster's Federal Reserve System long ago there may do no escape for us from the pending economic collapse. Obviously for years Harper and now Trudeau The Younger ignored the fact that the Russians and Chinese had been buying gold by the ton and yet are wondering why Pence and Trump are talking tough to China today while the USA is so deeply in debt it can never pay back what it owes? Seems to me thay are picking a fight on several fronts.

Methinks CBC should allow me to remind peoplekind of a very simple rule "He With The Gold Makes The Rules" N'esy Pas?

'Striking' APEC confrontation causes uncertainty ahead of G20

Normally friendly gathering turned tense, with no agreement reached — now what?


The 2018 APEC summit, traditionally an amicable gathering, was instead the scene of a 'striking' confrontation between the U.S. and China. (Mark Schiefelbein/Associated Press)


he opening photo call at the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) summit Saturday turned out to be a useful roadmap for what unfolded in Papua New Guinea's capital this past weekend.
Front and centre in the shot: Xi Jinping. Stiff and straight, offering an authoritarian smile.

Maybe it was the alphabet that put the Chinese president in the front row (Justin Trudeau was just off-centre, to Xi's right and the world's left, with Chile between them.) But it's a useful visual metaphor, so let's continue.

Just over Xi's left shoulder stood Vladimir Putin's No. 2: Russian Prime Minister Dimitry Medvedev.
Who was missing? Donald Trump's representative. U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence's itinerary didn't prioritize the opening photo.

The leaders carried on without him.


The opening photo call, with China's Xi Jinping in the front row and U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence absent, served as a sign of things to come at the 2018 APEC summit. (Aaron Favila/Associated Press)


Such was the APEC summit in 2018: the commanding presence of China driving its agenda, with an isolated United States pursuing competing goals, leaving others looking very uncomfortable.

When trade watchers marvel at the failure of this group to come up with even a general consensus statement on a few issues, they do so because this isn't meant to be a forum for fighting.
Co-operation: it's right there in APEC's name.

APEC doesn't usually get into security issues or high politics, University of British Columbia Asia specialist Yves Tiberghien said.

"This confrontation… as far as I know it was the first time," he said. "It's striking."

Stark contrast to ASEAN


APEC is usually a friendly summit, where the head of the International Monetary Fund offers a briefing and affiliated business advisory councils "engage" politicians on their regional priorities.

Hot for 2018: "strengthening the digital economy" and — in an effort not to look too elite among the Maseratis ferrying VIPs around APEC's poorest country — enabling "a more open, accessible and secure online environment, so communities and businesses of all sizes can participate." (Canada was pleased to see an emphasis on digital privacy issues, an official said.)

Many of the leaders, Trudeau included, arrived in Port Moresby from Singapore, the host for the 2018 Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and East Asia Summit talks.
The contrast was stark, even jarring: from the luxury fashion labels of a city capitalizing on its region's fast-growing wealth, to the broken windows and tin roofs of a developing country pushed beyond its limits to host.

Holidays were declared to clear out the city for its international visitors, who were warned not to stop at roadside stands trying to attract the attention, and money, of foreigners.

"This is the biggest thing Papua New Guinea has done in their history," said Jonathan Pryke, director of the Pacific Islands program at the Lowy Institute, a non-partisan Australian think-tank. The country has "acute development issues," something Australia has been providing low-key help with for years, particularly in its remote and rural regions.

China winning 'both above board and below board'


Australia's support overall dwarfs the Chinese money that flowed into Port Moresby to ensure the summit's success. But there was nothing subtle about China's role: a huge Chinese gate outside the brand new Hilton Hotel, with a giant roadside banner celebrating "co-operation" and "peace," made it pretty obvious who was paying.

Chinese aid is strategic, Pryke says, and usually followed by contracts for China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

"Corruption is a real thing here," he said. "These SOEs don't operate on the same playing field as a lot of Western commercial enterprises here. But they're also competitors. So they are winning contracts both above board and below board."


China's presence and influence could be felt throughout Papua New Guinea's capital city of Port Moresby during the APEC summit. (Mark Schiefelbein/AFP/Getty Images)


Extrapolate that Chinese strategy to a global scale and it gets easier to see what Donald Trump is on about, and why the Americans are so unhappy with the aspects of the World Trade Organization that enable market-distorting, state-subsidized competition.

Fundamental issues stood in the way of a final communiqué at APEC, with some countries wanting reform, and China strenuously objecting to accusations it isn't playing by the rules laid out when it joined the WTO in 2001.
According to reports from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, China tried to strong-arm the summit's host into the language it wanted. No dice.

This disagreement isn't something that a few more hours, days or weeks of conversation will resolve, despite Xi's suggestion that multilateralism — talking — is the answer to the escalating trade war that's slapped hundreds of billions of dollars in disruptive tariffs on the world's products.

The U.S. may be big enough for a go-it-alone, protectionist strategy, but others — Canada included — are not. Their prosperity depends on trade, and their future economic growth likely requires selling new things to China's enormous market.

However, their security may depend on continuing to line up with the U.S. So rhetorical demands to pick sides are unwelcome.

Singapore's prime minister said this week that ASEAN countries need a good working relationship with both China and the U.S. to thrive. The appetite to confront American trade bullying may fade in the face of security concerns, like North Korea's nuclear program.

'Coalition in the middle'


The road to the seat of government in Port Moresby was paved by the Chinese. But the warships in its harbour were Australian and American.

Pence turned up at APEC with a commitment to work with Australia to redevelop a naval base on Manus Island to try to counter China's growing influence in the region.

Beyond the trade war between the U.S. and China, there's a second confrontation underway about globalization itself, Tiberghien said.

"Clearly there is an interesting clash where the U.S. is saying 'trade has left too many people behind'… we have to 'rein in trade,'" he said.


The tension between the U.S. and China was one of the biggest takeaways from the 2018 APEC summit. (Mark Schiefelbein/Associated Press)


Here the U.S. is not alone: Malaysia, a Pacific Rim trade partner Trudeau also met with this weekend, has voiced similar concerns (and not ratified the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership yet.) So have populist politicians in Europe, including some of the champions of Brexit in the U.K.

It's a "redrawing of camps," Tiberghien said.

Trudeau's father Pierre championed a "third way" foreign policy, hoping to diversify its relationships beyond its Commonwealth history and its geographic ties to the U.S.

Now the son finds himself in need of a third way in trade policy — if the U.S. won't champion a multilateral trading system anymore, who will? Canada's working with allies like the European Union, Japan and Australia on how to reinvigorate a rules-based system.

But when the G20 meets in two weeks, the fighting between the two biggest players may suck oxygen away from topics like WTO reforms.

"It's a very tense environment for making any breakthrough," Tiberghien said. "But on a secondary level, Canada can show a good image by saying 'we're here, we're reasonable, we stand for principles, we'll stand with partners that believe in the same principles' and maybe, over time, build a coalition in the middle."

I remember because I lived through it.
The initial wish list for French School Boards only.
The satements that they rejected duality because it was wasteful and not necessary.
Of Louis Robichaud declaring New Brunswick 'bilingual' without any public consent.
Of the policy of service in French where numbers warranted.
And on and on.

We've had enough.

You live trough what ?

*The initial wish list for French School Boards only.*

That's the same across Canada, what's you point ?

*The satements that they rejected duality because it was wasteful and not necessary. *

What ?

*Of Louis Robichaud declaring New Brunswick 'bilingual' without any public consent*

Didn't the voters vote him in ? Are you part of every decision in the government of NB ? No, you vote for the party who will represent you, its called democracy.

*Of the policy of service in French where numbers warranted. *

Yeah that's until the Federal and provincial government centralized everything in Fredericton/ Saint John and Moncton. Now only these regions deserves the majority of services across NB. Anything more you want me to debunk kid?

Brian Robertson
Brian Robertson
@Marc Martin
You have debunked nothing.

What I lived through was the evolution of the language policy we have and continue to endure.

What may be the policy now that is Canada wide does not alter the fact that in the very early 60s, the francophone lobby's stated goal was their own school boards, ONLY. But that turned out to be just the thin edge of the wedge.

And their statements refuting any desire for duality is now obviously a sign of the duplicity used by that same lobby.
Louis Robichaud was elected by a majority of New Brunswickers. But no where on his platform was any mention of making the Province bilingual. We just got up one morning to find that King Louis 1st had 'proclaimed' it on his own.

The problem with old people is that no matter how hard you try to rewrite history, we remember the events you want to gloss over.

maude windsor

@Marc Martin Harper did not add to our debt levels...in fact he paid down our DEBT....there is a big difference between DEBT and DEFICIT. ie there is good debt and bad unecessary debt (some of canada's debt goes back to trudeau1) socialism and social programs do not lead to good government (remember nazi's were voted into power using the social benefits to people who voted only for 'free programs' under a social leftist agenda. let we canadians be educated in economics.
as for Harper...he did manage canada to survive the recession..better than any other country of the G7 ...sure he isnt as cute & fasionable correct than is trudeau...but Harper actually had an economics degree from UofC that himself worked and paid for...and today countries around the world seek for Harper to give them advice. so canadians treat and like trudeau as a member of canada's royalty family..but do not run down Harper who is of an ordinary hard working family & gone from our political scene in canada. do not look back canada, standup for the future..stand up for canada...despite politicial quackery!!!

@David Amos trudeau1 in his quest to make canada 'different' from the USA by using the french language as a political ploy & put himself into making language rules in canada which cost then and cost more now taxation of 2billion a year(all debt)...the metric system and the enormous amounts of $$$ it took to implement in small tax base canada, he used the 'environment' rulings to keep canada green and poor, he uped the equaliztion formula to give quebec 10X $$$ to other provinces, then he implemented the national energy program in Alberta..because trudeau1 was so afraid of baystreet financials moving to calgary...then he gave alberta the finger-----our debt became enormous. alberta's debt became more enormous because albertans needed social programs to live...(klng klein fixed that with all albertans working to be debt free).....today's trudeau isnt as intelligent but he is cute...and loves the spotlight. canadians do not understand government debt...canadians do not understand government budgeting nor taxation for what...canadians mostly do not understand all monies for free and other government programs are not free..all government do is to collect our money from all of us and then spend it....some canadian paid for IE, healthcare,education,equalization payments, the french language programs at 2Billion a year, so think about the government programs,services you receive and say thank you to other tax payers for what you receive from trudeau government. david amos...you should work to tell all canadians the facts of debt...and think about fact that almost 50% of canadians who love freeby money from government do not pay any taxation....not very democratic methinks

@maude windsor Although I agree with much of your post the facts are that the debt did go up under Harper by about $118 Billion according to Finance Department numbers.

It wasn't an issue. It was made into being a divisive issue. Fracking, on the other hand, was an issue and it was made into a non issue by silence. Can we see a pattern here yet?


cheryl wright

@William Reed tell that to the families that waited over 40 minutes for an ambulance and lost loved ones because of it. every second counts when you are injured. hopefully it will never happen to you or anyone you love.

Pierre Cyr

@William Reed I wonder if they will remove bilingualism requirements for the french areas. Then we could hire some Quebec or unilingual french ambulance attendants. I wonder if that will fly with the PANB...

daryl doucette
daryl doucette
@Pierre Cyr good idea....hire the unilingual francophone....that is, if you can find one.

Michel Boudreau
Michel Boudreau
@cheryl wright William Reed is a little bit right the issue is not as serious as it sound. It was made a issue by are politicien blaming the bilingual position. In true bilingual is not the problems, it the job it self. The stuff they see on the job you need solid nerf solid heart Bilingual position are fill up with unilingual staff with warning that they loose they job or get a transfer if they find a bilingual person and it does not happen often and it up to that person the get the compétence required bilingual is part of those compétence needed.

cheryl wright
cheryl wright
@Michel Boudreau . ok . granted there is a lot of media coverage on this sure. but I can guarantee that ( not just in paramedics ) that people do lose their jobs when they can squeeze a bilingual person in there. even if that English person worked at that job for decades. and getting competence required is one thing but doing it at the proficiency that this province considered fully bilingual is another. the province has set that standard so high that you can not reach it unless French is your mother tongue. so many issues in one small province.

Pierre Cyr
Pierre Cyr
@daryl doucette In Quebec they have plenty.

It was made an issue from the anti-French crowd of NB, no one died because of a language issue, the kid that died was because medivie doesn't hire enough paramedics because of money issues.

@David Amos yes. english is and should be politically an english speaking province.....sad but many acadian families speak acadian type french and they also cannot pass the language test for new brunswick or ottawa jobs...because all the rules/regulations and testing mandates are for quebec french people only......this NB problem of language rules is between english&acadian people speakers...and the quebecers who have moved into new brunswick. francophone associations are disruptive and cause governments to do their dirty work a la purchase of votes leading to government. quite sad really...and i doubt little louis envisioned this hatred amongst the people of new brunswick....we are not quebecers and all levels of government (trudeau included) need to recognize this fact.

How is it a Language problem in St. Quentin and Lameque where the medics are all francophones, ask yourselves that. There is a real reason why they can't staff ambulances and nobody wants to mention it.


cheryl wright
cheryl wright
@Chuck Stewart there is a paramedic shortage due to bilingualism and salaries. when you have rural areas they often have 1 ambulance. so say if Fredericton needs another ambulance they may pull from Woodstock. then if Woodstock needs another ambulance they pull from Victoria county, then so on and so on. but if there were more paramedics there would be less buses sitting without staff and less would have to be pulled from other areas or not being able to be used at all due to insufficient staffing levels. our paramedics are so burnt out from working over and above their regular hours due to shortages. there are unilingual or English speaking paramedics that leave the province or the field all together because they cant get the hours.

Pierre Cyr

@Chuck Stewart 99% of the problem is wages and working conditions.

 Pierre Cyr

Any service will need part time workers to replace the fulltime. This isnt a real solution. Whats the turnover rate for paramedics? Whats the graduation rate? If its like much of the healthcare sector they dont pay well with bad working conditions and dont attract enough students to graduate enough trained people to replace those who are leaving.


Mack Leigh
Mack Leigh
@Pierre Cyr

It is a definite improvement over what we now have.... however I agree rather than just 40 trained unilingual paramedics being moved to full time it should be more with the balance of those already qualified being given part time positions...... Keep our fully trained, experienced paramedics here in NB no matter if they speak English or French only........

It did not take Higgs long to solve that problem .

Here are your facts kid.

Matt Steele

@Marc Martin .....There were no re-negotiations once McKenna removed the Crown land leases from private citizens and gave them to Irving as the leases were never returned , It was McKenna who started the land gift to Irving . Successive Premiers including Lord , Graham , Alward and Gallant just carried on with what McKenna started .Higgs was not Premier at that time , Alward was ; and the Premier always makes the final decision .

So that’s it? Solved the problem? I think time will tell..

"No longer will desperate families be forced to load severely ill and injured loved ones in the backs of their own vehicles hoping to get to a hospital before it is too late because no ambulance is available when it is needed," Austin said in the release.

Three thoughts:
1) Hopefully, this will result in the calls being made by folks wanting to use an ambulance as free taxis shifted to the non emergency side.
2) Pressure is going to intensify on dispatchers to ensure mistakes aren't made.
3) Can the province afford the extra layer?


David Amos

@Bob Smith

1. Methinks everybody knows the ambulances are not free and that a taxi would be far cheaper

@Ben Robinson Ben that would be great! But in the ambulances here in NB, the paramedics " take turns" being " the lead" ( meaning the one who does the talking initially at the emergency call) so what happens many times is the " unilingual" paramedic will start conversing to the family/patient in the " other" language while the " bilingual" paramedic says nothing...is setting up equipment, etc...common sense would dictate if, oh for example, up in Caraquet, if a unilingual english person driving thru the area decided to pull over as he/she was ill, and an ambulance arrived to help, it would be idiotic if there was a " unilingual francophone paramedic", and a " bilingual paramedic" arriving, and the " unilingual francophone paramedic" was the " lead person" and was attempting to interview the patient....while the " bilingual" paramedic was there as well....and this DOES go on.

maude windsor
good for Higgs! time someone had some sense on this!!! now Higgs, lets focus on the education of EMS
within ambulance services....there are too many EMS in ambulances that do not have the correct nor useful education. (take as example the edmonton EMS...highly trained and educated and provide services to 2X numbers of people in new brunswick in about the same land mass....so ambulances travel about the same miles on each call. also, NB ambulances do not have the emergency room medical & drugs of useful emergency services....ie each ambulance should be in commique with the nearest hospital EMS ...so that emergency services start as soon as patient is picked up.
methinks certification and upgrade of EMS personnel regardless of language is most important to patient...people are dying in new brunswick because of poor state of non-emergency equipment and the lack of certification of EMS personnel in amulances. everyone should sluth out how the location of their home & business will allow for quick and educated certificated EMS....it is medical knowledge & better equipped ambulances that is critical....language(s) spoken is not important at all to critical medical care!!!!

Higgs ran for the leadership of the COR party.
The party Higgs wanted to lead in 1989, the Confederation of Regions, was anti-bilingualism.
Higgs says he no longer subscribes to the COR worldview. "I believe that all New Brunswickers, French and English, have the opportunity to speak their own language and to learn another one," he said in August. "My opinion has changed over the last 30 years."

@Claude DeRoche What does the COR party or Higgs prior affiliation have to do with fixing the ambulance crisis in NB? I see from your comments you feel the 30% who are French and the ones entitled to jobs and EMT services. If you can't admit that todays announcement is good for all NB's that shows that you and the sanb only care about holding language privileges above all else. It's not and never has been about "culture preservation" now has it?

The province needs to cancel all contracts with Medavie/Blue Cross and bring all services back under the Gov't umbrella. Medavie is making millions of dollars off the province, money that could be better served in providing services to NBers. The province claims that Medavie has the technology, well this province could have the technology for themselves if they wanted it. The door must be slammed in Medavie's face with regards to all dealings in this province. We have politicians in control of portfolios that they have no idea what it involves and that is evident in the bumbling handling and bad decisions that are made. Elected officials have to remember they work for the people in this province, to provide the best service possible at the most reasonable price, not to award big contracts for numerous years to companies who want to keep dealings/costs/problems hidden under a privacy agreement.

This whole issue re French/English is really irrelevant when the paramedics show up on scene to an actual cardiac arrest, sudden death, or other critical emergency where the patient is unconscious, and dying. The fact that a family member is present and talking to responders is great, but the end result is usually the same for the person on the floor. The paramedics/first responders are going to assess vitals immediately. If vital signs are absent, they will then " hook up" the patient to the " defib pads" to prepare for a potential " shock" to " stop" and then restart the heart. This is the first, and foremost task ANY " First Responders" ( Paramedics, Trained FireFighters) will do. Language is comepletly irrelevant in these critical cases. I have never heard of a person in cardiac arrest requesting services in the language of their choice.

Higgs creates non-emergency ambulance service that won't require bilingual crews

Premier Blaine Higgs and People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin were at Monday's announcement


Blaine Higgs announces changes to Ambulance New Brunswick on Monday. (Catherine Allard/Radio-Canada)

The province plans to create a service for non-emergency ambulance transfers that will remove the need for crews  capable of speaking both French and English.

The new service will determine a hospital patient's language of choice before an ambulance is dispatched, and staff with the "linguistic capabilities" to look after the call will respond, according to the plan announced Monday by Premier Blaine Higgs.

The service, to be implemented by Ambulance New Brunswick, will allow 40 casual paramedics to move to permanent full-time status, according to the government announcement.

"Our priority is protecting the health and safety of residents," Higgs said in a news release.

In a statement, the province said transfers make up about 30 per cent of Ambulance New Brunswick's call volume. There were 112,000 calls for transfers last year, up 18 per cent from five years ago.

Separating transfers from the 911 emergency response system will reduce delays in both systems, the announcement said, and offer more flexibility in hiring and retaining employees.

Ambulance NB is supposed to provide emergency service in the language of a patient's choice, but the bilingualism requirement has been blamed for a shortage of paramedics and late-arriving ambulances.

People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin and Health Minister Hugh Flemming were also at the announcement in Fredericton.

"No longer will desperate families be forced to load severely ill and injured loved ones in the backs of their own vehicles hoping to get to a hospital before it is too late because no ambulance is available when it is needed," Austin said in the release.

Problems with the ambulance service


Problems with the ambulance service, which some critics, including Austin, have blamed on an inability to find required bilingual employees, became an issue in the recent provincial election.

Over the past few months, Ambulance New Brunswick has also been criticized for paramedic shortages and ambulance delays across the province.


At the end of October, Blaine Higgs said he would prioritize the paramedics shortage and ambulance delays if he took power. (CBC)
In October, Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs — who was not yet premier of New Brunswick — said such issues would be the first priority for a PC government if he were to assume power.

Higgs pledged to bring in Medavie Health Services, the company that runs Ambulance New Brunswick, on Day 1 and give it a  week to put forth solutions.

Higgs was sworn in Nov. 9 after the Liberal government of Brian Gallant fell the week before.

Slow response by paramedics 


In October, former health minister Benoî​t Bourque said a discussion paper on ambulance service revealed a drastic shortage of trained bilingual paramedics and a lack of language training to fill the need where bilingual service is required.

The document said 51 out of 61 vacant full-time paramedic positions are bilingual jobs, as are 31 of 40 part-time vacancies.

Today's announcement comes more than three weeks after a 13-year-old boy died in an ATV crash in Haut-Lamèque after family, police and firefighters waited about 45 minutes for paramedics to arrive at the scene.

Medavie recently announced a second ambulance for Saint-Quentin, which fought for two years to get better coverage.

That announcement came after a cyclist was struck and injured by a vehicle and waited more than 40 minutes before being taken to hospital three blocks away by a passerby.

RCMP's sexual harassment suit bigger and more expensive than predicted

Mounties expected 1,000 claims in Merlo-Davidson settlement — so far,
they've got 3,131
Catharine Tunney · CBC News · Posted: Nov 20, 2018 4:00 AM ET

"Guy Versailles, a spokesperson for the assessor's office, said the
office isn't ready to provide a breakdown of how many claimants have
been assessed at each level so far.

"We do not give numbers beyond those on our website. Complete
breakdown by categories will be given in our final report," he said in
an email to CBC News.

Versailles said the assessor's office expects it will take another 18
to 20 months to process all the claims.

The RCMP could be on the hook for even more money if a second class
action is approved. Earlier this year, lawyers for two veteran male
RCMP officers filed a $1.1 billion class action claim in federal court
that seeks compensation for thousands of past and present employees
for what they claim is widespread "bullying, harassment and
intimidation."

Good afternoon David Amos,

The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (the
"Commission") is in receipt of your three emails of October 29, thank
you.

Your emails were thoroughly reviewed, but no information on a new
public complaint against a member of the RCMP could be located. The
only RCMP interaction about which you may have wanted to lodge a
complaint which was identified, appears to have occurred in 2004, when
RCMP members removed you from the New Brunswick legislature. Due to
the time which has passed, and your several opportunities to bring
this up with Commission staff in the past (and with staff from the
Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP, which the current
Commission replaces), a public complaint will not be accepted
regarding this incident.

Should you have a complaint you would like to make regarding the
conduct of an on-duty RCMP member, for an incident occurring within
the last year, the Commission invites you to submit a complaint using
our online complaint form at
https://www.crcc-ccetp.gc.ca/en/make-complaint-form. Alternatively,
you may contact our Intake Office at our toll-free number listed
below.

Your October 29th emails will be kept on file for information purposes only.

Respectfully,

Dear Mr. Amos,

This will acknowledge receipt of the documents you sent to this office
and to advise you that I was unable to identify specific issues
related to the conduct of an RCMP member.  I am, therefore, writing to
clarify for you the mandate of the Commission for Public Complaints
Against the RCMP.

This Commission was established by Parliament to oversee the public
policing activities of the RCMP.  Part VII of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police Act (“RCMP Act”) describes the mandate of this
Commission.  Its mandate is to review “the conduct, in performance of
any duty or function under the [RCMP] Act, of any member [of the RCMP]
…”  Taken as a whole, the concerns outlined in your letter do not
appear to qualify as conduct of the RCMP in the performance of a duty
or function under the Act and, therefore, do not fall within this
Commission’s mandate.


As a result, this Commission has no role to play in resolving the
issues you have raised in your letter.  Accordingly, we will be unable
to process your concerns as a public complaint under Part VII of the
RCMP Act.

If your intention is to submit a complaint regarding the on-duty
conduct of a member(s) of the RCMP, you will need to provide specific
details, such as the date, time and city of each incident, names of
the members you wish to complain about and the details of the improper
conduct as it relates to each of them.

You can do so through our online complaint form located at:

http://www.cpc-cpp.gc.ca/cnt/srv/mac/index-eng.aspx

Alternatively, we can also be reached by:

E-mail: complaints@cpc-cpp.gc.ca

Subject: The Commission for Public Complaints against RCMP - #2013-2824
To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com"<motomaniac333@gmail.com>

Dear Mr. Amos:

This is further to your recent communications with the Commission.
From September 18, 2013 to the present, our office has received 6
electronic messages from you. Many of these e-mails are not related to
RCMP conduct.

On October 1, 2013, you called our office and spoke with an Intake
Officer.  You wished to enquire about three complaint files. When the
Intake Officer attempted to inform you that you have three enquiry
files with the Commission, you became agitated and insisted otherwise.
You raised your voice and spoke over the Intake Officer.  You then
demanded the name of the Intake Officer, and subsequently yelled "see
you in federal court" and hung up the telephone line.

As a reminder, we request that all future correspondence with our
office must be courteous in tone and that you are respectful of the
requests that are made of you.  While it is clearly not the intention
of the Commission to prevent you from making complaints against
members of the RCMP, your recent emails and telephone call have been
unproductive for both you and for Commission staff.  In the future, we
request that all communication with our office be respectful in
language and related to our mandate.   In the event that this request
is not respected, the Commission will consider imposing restrictions
on how you may communicate with our office.

Should you have a complaint about a specific RCMP member surrounding a
specific incident, I invite you to visit the Commission's website
(www.cpc-cpp.gc.ca<http://www.cpc-cpp.gc.ca>) to submit an online
complaint, rather than to send an email that is difficult to follow or
a copy of a letter you have sent to many others. The complaint form
will guide you through the information required that will enable the
Commission to process your complaint. Should you have difficulty in
accessing the complaint form and wish to have one sent to you, you may
provide your mailing address and a form will be mailed to you via
Canada Post.

I would also invite you to send your correspondence regarding any new
or existing complaints (quoting the appropriate Commission file
number) by letter mail to:

Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP
National Intake Office
PO Box 88689
Surrey, BC  V3W 0X1

>
> BETWEEN:
>
> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS

>
> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>
> Defendant
>
> ORDER
>
> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
> December 14, 2015)
>
> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
> in its entirety.
>
> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter
> he stated:
>
> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
> You are your brother’s keeper.
>
> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
> Police.
>
> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>
>
> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There
> is no order as to costs.

RCMP's sexual harassment suit bigger and more expensive than predicted

Mounties expected 1,000 claims in Merlo-Davidson settlement — so far, they've got 3,131


The Merlo-Davidson settlement covers women who were harassed while working for the RCMP, starting in September 1974. The RCMP found it needs more money after it received more than three times the number of claims expected. (Valerie Zink/Reuters)

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police need more money to help cover a historic class-action lawsuit after more women than expected came forward with stories of harassment and sexual abuse.

The "need to seek additional funds" was flagged in a briefing note from RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki to Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, obtained by CBC News through Access to Information laws.

In 2016, Bob Paulson — then the RCMP commissioner — delivered a historic apology to female officers and civilian members as part of a settlement in two class-action lawsuits.

The settlement — known as the Merlo-Davidson settlement after plaintiffs Janet Merlo and Linda Davidson — covers all women who were harassed while working for the RCMP during and after September 1974. Each victim is eligible for a payout of between $10,000 and $220,000.

As the settlement was announced, the government set aside $100 million to cover the claims but left open the option of increasing the sum.

That $100 million fund was established back when the RCMP expected about 1,000 people to submit claims. Instead, the assessor's office received more than three times that number of claims.

"The RCMP will soon determine the amount of incremental funding required to pay for both the compensation awards to claimants above those originally estimated and the resulting impact on the assessor's office," wrote Lucki back in June.

The RCMP won't say how much extra money they'll need.

"Every claimant who is determined by the independent assessor to be eligible for compensation will receive the amount she is entitled to under the settlement; however, we are not in a position to speculate on the total amount at this time," said RCMP spokesperson Staff Sgt. Tania Vaughan in an email to CBC News.

"The RCMP is continuing to monitor the claims process and the amount of incremental funding required to pay for the whole of the claims process."

Scott Bardsley, a spokesperson for Goodale, said the department hasn't yet received a request for funding from the RCMP but is expecting one. Once it arrives, it will be forwarded to the Finance Department.

Last fiscal year the force paid out $6.7 million to 144 claimants and more than $12 million in legal fees, according to the annual Public Accounts tabled recently in Parliament. The deadline to file was extended until May of this year.

Goodale has called publicly for a "new culture" within the force, one free of "workplace harassment, bullying and sexual misconduct."

"Those suffering mental anguish as victims must have access to the help and support they need to heal," he wrote in a blog post this past summer.

#Metoo effect


David Klein, one of the lead lawyers in the RCMP class-action lawsuit, said the boom in the number of claims is a good thing.

"We're encouraged that women have felt sufficiently comfortable to come forward and tell their stories," he said.


Retired RCMP officers Linda Davidson, left, and Janet Merlo, seen here outside a Toronto Federal Court in May 2017, were representative plaintiffs in a class-action suit against the RCMP on behalf of sexually harassed female employees. (Colin Perkel/Canadian Press)
"We think the increased numbers sends a message to the RCMP and all employers that this is something that needs to be taken seriously and addressed, that everything that can be done to address sexual harassment in the workplace should be done."

The briefing note says the forecast of 1,000 claims was based on "the information that was available at that time."

"During the claims window, greater societal attention became focused on issues of harassment and discrimination, including the rise of the #MeToo movement, which may have contributed to the greater-than-expected number of claims being submitted," it says.

More help needed


As of Nov. 15, 2018, independent assessor Michel ​Bastarache — a former Supreme Court justice — had waded through about a quarter of the claims, rendering 809 decisions out of 3,131 claims.

Late last month, the Federal Court assigned Lynn Smith, a former judge with the British Columbia Supreme Court, as an additional assessor "to ensure the expeditious processing of claims."

Successful claimants are awarded compensation on a sliding scale, ranging from level-one claims — which cover sexualized comments —  to level-six claims involving "forcing [the] complainant to engage in penetrative sex acts."
Guy Versailles, a spokesperson for the assessor's office, said the office isn't ready to provide a breakdown of how many claimants have been assessed at each level so far.

"We do not give numbers beyond those on our website. Complete breakdown by categories will be given in our final report," he said in an email to CBC News.

Versailles said the assessor's office expects it will take another 18 to 20 months to process all the claims.

The RCMP could be on the hook for even more money if a second class action is approved. Earlier this year, lawyers for two veteran male RCMP officers filed a $1.1 billion class action claim in federal court that seeks compensation for thousands of past and present employees for what they claim is widespread "bullying, harassment and intimidation."

Fredericton Police Chief Leanne Fitch to retire in 2019

Mayor says national search for a new police chief will be launched sometime in the new year


Fredericton police Chief Leanne Fitch will retire in June 2019. (CBC)

Fredericton Police Chief Leanne Fitch will retire in 2019 after two terms in the force's top job.

The retirement was announced, albeit somewhat low-key, when Deputy Chief Martin Gaudet told Fredericton city council that there would be a change at the top of the force next year during a routine police budget presentation.

Fitch said it had been her plan to retire in 2019.

"That's the end of my second term contract as chief and I had one year as acting before that," said Fitch

"That's been my plan and my goal."

Tragedy shakes capital city

 


Fitch led the force through the aftermath of the Aug. 10 shootings where four people, including two of her own officers, were killed. (Keith Minchin/Canadian Press)
Fitch was a well-known figure even before her time as chief. But in Fredericton, she was thrust into the national spotlight after the Aug. 10 shootings left four people dead.

The victims included two of her officers, Const. Robb Costello and Const. Sara Burns.

Fitch said the shooting weighed on her mind as her retirement approached.

"Prior to Aug. 10 I was very excited, looking forward to my retirement in June," said Fitch.

"Post Aug. 10 I have very mixed emotions at retiring at a time that has been so difficult for our department."

Fredericton Mayor Mike O'Brien said the move will be a "big change" that will require some management.

"You lose your leader, especially after you've been forged in fire like in the Aug. 10 incident," said O'Brien.

"It'll be change and change is always difficult."

Controversy in police force

 


During Fitch's time as chief, the force dealt with several revelations of officer misconduct. (CBC)
Fitch's time as chief also came with some controversy for the force.

Under her leadership a number of Fredericton police officers were outed for alleged improprieties.
Const. Michael Cook pleaded guilty to defrauding the New Brunswick Police Association of more than $5,000.

Former officer Cherie Campbell was fired after allegedly attempting to shoplift $20 of makeup from a department store in Houlton, Maine.

Const. Darrell Ian Brewer was found guilty of impaired driving.

And the force was found to have broken New Brunswick's Official Languages Act in a ruling from the New Brunswick Police Commission.

What happens next?

 


Fredericton Mayor Mike O'Brien said the city will conduct a nationwide search to find a new chief. (CBC)
 
Fitch said she did not know when her replacement would be announced.

O'Brien also gave no specific date, but said the city would perform a nationwide search.

"Sometime in the new year we'll be doing a national search," said O'Brien.

"[We'll] be putting a review committee together to make sure we get a great candidate to carry on the work she's done for us."

When asked if there were any candidates in the city's ranks, O'Brien wouldn't speculate, but said an in-house application would be far from a guarantee.

"Nobody has an in on that job," said O'Brien.

"We have some great candidates internally, should they wish to apply, but we will be doing a national search."

Fitch's last day as Fredericton's top cop will be June 10, 2019.

No cuts whatsoever? Hmm! Something doesn't sound right with a throne speech that doesn't include cuts to something or another. Then again, it's a thin minority government so rocking that boat too much would probably make somebody mad and when you have a minority, everybody needs to be happy.


Pierre Cyr
Pierre Cyr
@Murray Brown Lots of cuts arent often seen. Like healthcare workers in hospitals and nursing homes who get measly 1% a year increases when inflation is more often than not higher than that and gov revenue increases. Been going on for most of the past 30 years resulting in overall about a 20% pay loss. Keep at it and see how that goes with now staff turnover rate in nursing homes of 30% a year. And Im not not even talking about staffing cuts and working conditions. Oh and for full disclosure I am a nursing home worker.

So a balanced budget by 2020-2021 I guess mr gallant wasn't that bad after all.. He did spend lots but with no cuts in the throne speech mr higgs must admit the province was in better shape then he had led voters to believe.. As for the puppets in the alliance party they will wag the tail for higgs really what else can they do...


Shawn McShane
Shawn McShane
@herbie harris A report by the Dominion Bond Rating Service said the agency was shifting its assessment of New Brunswick's economy from "stable" to "negative"— reflecting a worsening fiscal outlook for the province. Auditor-General Kim MacPherson said last year that the province's growing debt "may eventually impact" its ability to meet its financial obligations, including payments on the debt.

It would be great if Higgs can deliver on his promise of balancing the budget by March 2020 ; it is doable , but he will have to cut a lot of the fat out of the civil service . Not sure what the " Classroom Freedom Act " entitles ; but hopefully they can get the Licensed Substitute Teachers some more pay and benefits so that the classrooms do not have to be filled with WANNA-BE Substitute Teachers who are not certified , and who do not have Education degrees.....our children certainly deserve better .

Not a single mention of fracking again when that's all they really have in the cards to compensate for giveaways to the rentiers in our economy. Get ready to be sucked dry of the riches of the commons to energize the business sector. What a sad state of affairs to have elected the party that represents business owners. Mark my words, they will give and then demand that things be done to balance the budget. When that will be opposed they will claim they were obstructed. All you can ever gain here is possibly a job working for some despicable people, imo.

Chiasson answered me in writing and forwarded my documents etc to our spendthrift Chinese Governor General.

Hence in my humble opinion we get the governments we deserve N'esy Pas?






Pete Lang 
Emery Hyslop-Margison
Unfortunately, there's really not much there - although the suggested changes to expand the medical profession with nurse practitioners is long overdue and a step forward. The promise to balance the budget rings a bit hollow at this stage since there's no areas targeted for the structural changes such a lofty goal demands. For example, why not launch a cost/benefit analysis into the municipal structure in the province with an aim to eliminate local political fiefdoms where fiscally/administratively warranted. Downloading more decision-making authority to local governments appears headed in the other direction.

Higgs has a challenge on his hands. As finance minister under Alward he could see the fiscal crisis engulfing the province. That was four years ago in which time the crisis has deepened. His challenge is to steer this province from the same abyss Greece faced or risk the same fate, that being admistrative governance exercised by our creditors. He has the next four years to show our creditors we are able and worthy enough to govern ourselves.

However when they do each other in with their wicked games we have to bail them out because they claim they are too big to fail N'esy Pas?



Higgs promises to balance budget by 2020, energize private sector

Throne speech cites 5 main goals in throne speech as opposed to 'shopping list'


Premier Blaine Higgs's throne speech included promises to recruit more doctors, eliminate billing numbers and give greater roles in health care to nurse practitioners and pharmacists. (James West/Canadian Press)


The new Progressive Conservative minority government has delivered its first throne speech, an agenda that aims to be both modest and ambitious at the same time.

The speech, authored by the new government and delivered by Lt.-Gov. Jocelyne Roy Vienneau, declares that the PCs will not be promising "a shopping list of small commitments" but will aim to deliver on five main goals.

They are: balancing the budget; "energizing" the private sector to improve the economy; making health care better and more accessible; creating a "world-class" education system, and helping New Brunswickers join the middle class.



"Too often, we have accepted that failure is inevitable," the speech says. "That ends now. … The best way to restore hope in government is to get results from government."

The speech includes a goal of a balanced budget by March 2020 "or sooner," following a pre-budget consultation among all political parties starting early next year.

It also says the Higgs government will stop "throwing out programs only because another party introduced them," promising to work within the existing 10-year education plan brought in by the previous Liberal government.

People's Alliance support likely







Those are two of many nods to the political reality that no party won a majority in September's election, and the Tories will have to win the support of at least one other party to pass any of its agenda.

The speech ends with a promise that the Higgs cabinet "will share its power, and [MLAs] will share in the responsibility for evidence-driven debate and policy discussions that offer alternatives and compromises."

The throne speech itself will be put to a vote, likely Friday, Nov. 30, which will determine whether the PC government has the confidence of the legislature.

The three People's Alliance MLAs have already said they will vote to keep the Tories in power for 18 months, so the confidence vote appears to be a foregone conclusion.

"I don't see us diverting from that," Alliance leader Kris Austin said after he heard the speech.

Support possible from Greens, Liberals


Liberal leader Brian Gallant said there were good elements to the speech and his caucus will have to discuss how to vote next week. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
Higgs told reporters that he hopes the broad approach in the speech would win the support of other parties.

"What would be in that throne speech that someone couldn't support?" he said. "That was the purpose of it: not to make it controversial, not to make it a shopping list, but to make it more of a philosophical statement on five themes."

Green Leader David Coon said there was enough "common ground" in the PC speech that he could end up voting for it.

"It's a possibility," he said.

Liberal Brian Gallant said there were good elements to the speech but he was concerned the PCs would abandon his government's initiatives on free tuition, child care and climate change.

The speech promised a review of post-secondary support programs and did not mention child care. It also said the PCs would form an-all party committee to develop a strategy on emissions, something Gallant pointed out his government had already done.

He said his caucus will have to discuss how to vote next week.

Major commitments

Among the major commitments in the speech:
  • Action to recruit more doctors and reduce wait times, including by eliminating billing numbers, looking at new ways to pay physicians and giving nurse practitioners and pharmacists greater roles.
  • A six-month review of the contract signed by the Liberals that saw Medavie take over management of the extramural care program.
  • Passage of  a "Classroom Freedom Act" that will give principals, parents and teachers the power to make undefined "choices" that reflect the needs of children and communities.
  • Another attempt to improve the number of school graduates who are bilingual.
  • A review of corporate subsidies to establish whether equivalent amounts of tax cuts or tax credits would create more jobs.
  • A shift of more decision-making power to local governments.
  • A "restart" of the poverty-reduction process launched by the Graham Liberals in 2009.
  • A push for more development of natural resources that respects local and Indigenous communities "who choose to pursue resource-based jobs and investment," though shale gas is not mentioned.
  • The appointment of a new legislative watchdog for science and climate change.
  • An alternative to the federal carbon tax by "building our coastal and green economies" and finding another way to meet emissions targets.
  • A timeline for reducing WorkSafeNB premiums and eliminating both the small business tax and the so-called "double property tax" on secondary properties.
  • A new online tool that allows New Brunswickers to measure the pace of change.

 

Assuaging francophone fears

 


Higgs is at left as the lieutenant-governor reads the throne speech setting out five main goals of the new Progressive Conservative government. (CBC)
The speech also noted concerns from francophones that the de facto PC partnership with the People's Alliance could threaten their language rights.

"Too often voices of division and nationalism urge us to reject common purpose and retreat into distrust," it said.

"We have a choice. We have a chance to turn our small corner of the world into a shining example for the world. The people chose a legislature that pushes us to accept the discomfort of diverse opinions and the opportunity of creative compromise."

Higgs invited Alliance leader Kris Austin to Monday's announcement on ambulances but said Tuesday he would try to co-operate in the same way with other parties.

"Yesterday on the paramedics issue, it was a big issue for the Alliance," Higgs said. "That was a focus for them in the campaign, so we said we'd pick that one with them. We'll work on the forestry plan and others with the Greens. The carbon plan, we'll get them involved in that."

Shale gas absent

 


Protesters face a line of police officers in Rexton, N.B. as police began enforcing an injunction to end an ongoing demonstration against shale gas exploration in eastern New Brunswick on Thursday, Oct.17, 2013. Police say at least five RCMP vehicles were destroyed after they were set ablaze and at least one shot was fired by someone other than a police officer at the site of the protest in Rexton. (Andrew Vaughan/Canadian Press)
Austin told reporters his party had suggested that the speech not explicitly mention shale gas development, on which the Alliance has not yet staked out a position.

"At this stage of the game in a minority situation, we don't want to be tackling issues that are highly controversial," he said.

Higgs has said he wants to allow shale gas development in areas where there is local support.
Gallant said Tuesday that should be put to a vote in the legislature.

The Conservatives will be in trouble because they elected Scheer as their leader. He might be a genuinely nice man but he has no personality or leadership qualities whatsoever.

And the Conservatives will be in trouble because they keep putting forth policies that basically copy the Liberals. It is about time they put forth policies that say what they stand for and how they differentiate themselves from the other parties. Enough of just trying not to make waves.

And this comes from a long standing Conservative. I am p....d off right now and might just vote for Bernier's party if he runs a candidate in my riding.

The NDP is in trouble — and that's bad news for the Conservatives

A strong NDP can be both a cause and symptom of an ailing Liberal Party


Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer needs two things to close the polling gap on the Liberals: more swing voters moving back to the Conservatives and more centre-left voters drifting to the NDP. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)


As the next federal election approaches, Andrew Scheer's Conservatives might be asking themselves whether they can win without a strong NDP.

With the New Democrats and their leader, Jagmeet Singh, struggling in the polls, the answer to that question might not be the one the Conservatives want to hear.
Things aren't going very well for the NDP. The party sits at 15.8 per cent support in the CBC's Poll Tracker, an aggregation of all publicly available polling data. That number would put it on track for its worst performance since 2004. At that level of support, the New Democrats likely would win around 20 seats — less than half of the party's current standing in the House of Commons.


Singh hasn't been able to make a very strong impression on Canadians so far. The impression that he has left is trending negative. The latest survey from Abacus Data found just 19 per cent of Canadians holding a positive view of the NDP leader, a number that has slid consistently from the 24 per cent Singh scored at the beginning of the year.

Nanos Research finds that just eight per cent of Canadians pick Singh as the best person to be prime minister, putting him only two points ahead of Elizabeth May, leader of the single-seat Greens, and six points ahead of Maxime Bernier, who formed the People's Party of Canada only a few months ago. Singh's numbers have been wobbling back and forth in Nanos's weekly tracking.

Fundraising is also going slowly for the party: it raised just $5.2 million in the year following Singh's leadership victory in October 2017. That's only marginally better than the party's performance in the preceding 12 months, when Tom Mulcair was at the helm as caretaker and members' fundraising was being diverted in part to the leadership contest to replace him. (The Conservatives have raised $22.7 million and the Liberals $15.3 million in the last year.)

An anemic NDP is part of the reason the Liberals still lead in the Poll Tracker with 37.8 per cent support — but the Conservatives are playing a role in that as well.

The Conservative Party has 32.2 per cent support, a figure virtually unchanged since the 2015 federal election. Certainly, Scheer would be trailing the Liberals by a smaller amount if the NDP was eating away at Liberal support — but he'd also be doing better if he was flipping swing voters over to his own party as well.

That's why a struggling NDP is a bad omen for the Conservatives. A strong NDP can be a cause of a weak Liberal Party. It can also be a symptom.

Conservatives don't need a strong NDP - but it helps


It's no secret that Conservatives tend to welcome strong New Democrat polling. A robust NDP was cited as a necessity by Jenni Byrne, Stephen Harper's campaign manager, after the party was defeated in the 2015 federal election. The historical record shows why.

In the 18 elections held since the New Democrats' first contested an election in 1962, the party has averaged 14.8 per cent of the vote whenever the Liberals have formed government. They have averaged 19.6 per cent of the vote in the elections that ended in victory for the Conservatives (or their predecessors, the Progressive Conservatives).

The tipping point for the Conservatives seems to be around 17 per cent support for the NDP. New Democrats have managed 17 per cent of the vote or less in eight elections. The Liberals won seven of those; in the eighth election, in 1962, John Diefenbaker's PCs were reduced from a record-breaking majority government to a slim minority.

Of the elections that saw the NDP receive more than 17 per cent support, however, six ended in victory for the Conservatives and four left the Liberals in power (in two of those four Liberal wins, however, the party was kept to a minority).

Two of the three majority governments the Conservatives have secured since 1962 coincided with the NDP's best ever results — in 1988 (20.4 per cent) and in 2011 (30.6 per cent). The Conservatives' third majority, in 1984, happened as the NDP took 18.8 per cent of the vote — its fifth-best result.


NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has not seen his party's support increase in the polls and his own personal popularity has been trending negative. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)
It's a small sample size, but it does suggest a pattern. When the NDP is struggling, the Liberals have a high likelihood of winning. When the NDP is doing well, the Conservatives tend to have the edge. With the New Democrats currently under 16 per cent, the Poll Tracker accordingly gives the Conservatives less than a one-in-eight chance of winning the most seats in an election held today.

It isn't, however, a simple matter of vote-splitting between Liberals and New Democrats. For example, the PC landslide majority government in 1984, when Brian Mulroney captured 50 per cent of the vote, had nothing to do with a split centre-left vote.

Instead, the NDP's score was a reflection of the weakness of the Liberals at the time: in that election, the Liberals lost votes to the PCs as well as the NDP.


Decisive seats at stake



There isn't a strong regional character to this pattern. In elections the Conservatives win, the New Democrats have tended to perform six percentage points higher in British Columbia and Quebec than they do when the Liberals win. In Ontario, the NDP tends to perform four points higher in elections the Conservatives win. A boom in NDP support in any one region isn't enough to push the Conservatives over the top: they need New Democrats to be doing well pretty much everywhere.

A large part of the reason the Liberals are looking good for the 2019 election right now is the drop in NDP poll numbers Quebec — the party is down nine points there from the last election. The Poll Tracker suggests that the Liberals are in a position to pick up about 14 seats in Quebec at the NDP's expense.

(One wild card to consider for 2019 is the performance of the Greens, currently sitting at 7.5 per cent in the Poll Tracker, their highest level of support since before the last election. If the party's support increases significantly, as it did in the last provincial elections in B.C. and New Brunswick, it could have an unpredictable effect on the results. Or, the party's support could deflate by election day, as has happened in the past.)

The Conservatives can take advantage of the NDP's slide in a few areas of the country, particularly in the Prairies. But the Liberals have potential for gains in B.C.'s Lower Mainland as well, making it a bit of a wash. The Conservatives have little to gain directly from a weaker NDP.

But they have much to gain (indirectly) from a stronger NDP. There could be dozens of ridings around the country (in the Greater Toronto Area, especially) where Liberals and Conservatives are looking at close contests next year, and where the NDP has little historical support. In those ridings, even small shifts in the New Democrat vote could have large effects on the results.

So Scheer might spend the next 11 months looking at two sets of numbers in the polls to get a sense of his chances in 2019 — his own and Singh's.

The one making these stupid rules should take heed to former U.S. president Calvin Coolidge:

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence,” he said. “Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

Nancy Champion of the Department of Education most likely has a class 5 drivers license. She has no idea what it takes to drive a transport truck or a school bus. Therefore she is not qualified to do the job she has in the Department of Education. And should not be enforcing something she has no idea about.

As with any job ; there has to be some min. standards , and constantly lowering them is not really a solution ; and driving a school bus is a very responsible job where safety is paramount . I did notice that in one photo that this gentleman is using a chainsaw without any type of hardhat , ear , or eye protection which is considered very unsafe ......sometimes a photo is worth a thousand words .

"The new arrival from Quebec had hoped to ease her unilingual francophone daughter, Hayden Thibeault, into the overwhelmingly anglophone community through the French immersion program.

The two registered for immersion at Sussex Middle School in June and were under the impression through the summer that Hayden would start classes there this fall.
Last-minute switch

But on arrival for the school's Aug. 29 open house, they were told Hayden could not attend immersion and had been registered without their knowledge in the English program.

"I thought it was a mistake, so I went to see the English teacher, asking her about it and she said, 'well, they just changed it today. And you should go see the principal.'

"She [Hayden] was devastated, she was crying. She doesn't want to go in English because she doesn't understand enough."

The child has now been registered at École Samuel-de-Champlain, in Saint John, something Boulianne had hoped to avoid so her daughter could make friends and take part in after-school activities in Sussex.
Sonia Boulianne and husband Mike Sharp. Boulianne's daughter, Hayden Thibeault, will have to travel to Saint John every day to school. (CBC)

A transportation plan has not yet been established, but Boulianne said her daughter will likely commute to the city daily by taxi, a 78-kilometre, 58-minute trip each way.

Likely there is a good reason for bus drivers needing a grade 12 or ged. And the only effort required is to show up to school - unfortunate Mr Richardson that he had to leave school to help support the family. But you would think with someone who claims that education is important that he would have found time in the intervening 52 years to do the GED. As for a reason - maybe the bus drivers in having such complete and arbitrary control over the children riding on their buses should be at least as educated and hopefully smarter, than those they are driving.


David Amos
David Amos
@Jim Johnston Oh my my Methinks there is a reason in all the years I was in business I never once asked one person I was considering hiring about their education it was their attitude and whether or not they could do the job that truly mattered.

Miramichi man blames 'stupid' rules for shortage of school bus drivers

Norman Richardson knows many skilled drivers who could get students to school, but they don't have Grade 12


Norman Richardson says he can't drive a school bus in New Brunswick because he doesn't have his Grade 12 diploma, although he has plenty of experience. (Submitted by Norman Richardson)


Norman Richardson spends most of his days in the woods in Little Bartibog, outside of Miramichi. He has a licence to drive a tractor, an excavator and a tractor-trailer, but he can't drive a school bus in New Brunswick.

The 67-year-old recently heard about the shortage of school bus drivers in the province from his brother-in-law, former MLA Tanker Malley, who is a longtime bus driver in the Miramichi.


"He said, 'Oh, you should help us with the bus,' because he knew I drove tractor-trailer. He said you just got to go for a little course to make sure you know all the rules with the buses."

Richardson realized there was a problem when, shortly after that conversation, he ran into his cousin, who teaches the bus driver course.
We have a lot of educated people but they're not very smart.- Norman Richardson
"He said, 'What grade are you?' and I said, 'I went to Grade 9.''Oh,' he said, 'You've got to be Grade 12.'"

Since then, Richardson has spoken with a few other locals who were also turned down because they didn't have their Grade 12 diploma.

"I don't know who made that law," he said. "I bet they all went to university. And that's why this country is in such a turmoil now. We have a lot of educated people but they're not very smart."

Nothing to do with safety


Richardson said if you can operate a school bus safely and are comfortable transporting children, there's no reason you should be prevented from helping to get students to class.

"If it was something to do with safety, I'd say yes. But it's got nothing to do with safety."


Richardson, who has his 4th degree black belt in karate and teaches the martial art to many children in Miramichi, said he was told he doesn't qualify to be a school bus driver. (Submitted by Norman Richardson)

As a karate instructor, Richardson spends time with young people and children every week and is confident he could drive a school bus on the odd day, giving regular drivers like his brother-in-law a day off when they need it.

Earlier this week, Francophone School District South said more than 100 school buses have reported significant delays this school year because of a shortage of regular and casual drivers from Dieppe all the way to the Miramichi.

Both parents and teachers are concerned that students are missing class time because of the delays.
In an email statement, Nancy Champion of the Department of Education confirmed that school bus drivers must have graduated from high school or have their GED.

She said they also must have "considerable experience" operating motor vehicles.

"They must possess good communication skills and have a demonstrated ability to successfully deal with discipline in the vehicle," Champion said.

'Almost like you're a second-class citizen'


Richardson grew up the eldest boy in a family of 14 children, and when he finished Grade 9, he left school to help his father in the woods.
I did all that for other people and now they criticize you because you didn't go to school. It's not because I didn't want to.- Norman Richardson
"I loved school but my father said, 'You got to help me try to put the rest of them to school, eh? And the rest of them ... they went to university."

Richardson worked with his father cutting wood and said his siblings went on to become doctors, lawyers, and engineers.

"When you get to my age, it's almost like you're a second-class citizen in New Brunswick. Because you didn't go to grade 12," he said.

He has continued to make his living as a contractor, working in the woods, and all of his children also graduated from university.


Richardson left school after Grade 9 to help his father work in the woods near Miramichi. As the eldest boy in his family of 14 children, he worked to send everyone else to university. (Submitted by Norman Richardson)
"You're kind of punished when you think about it. I did all that for other people and now they criticize you because you didn't go to school. It's not because I didn't want to."

Richardson said whoever is in charge of hiring school bus drivers in New Brunswick should take another look at the qualifications.

"I just thought it was kind of stupid. Just because you didn't go to Grade 12 that you couldn't drive a school bus. I'm not going to go back to school to try to get Grade 12 to try to be a spare bus driver — that doesn't make sense either."

"Today's fiscal update is not expected to offer a target date for eliminating the deficit."

SHOCKING!

Trudeau has NO PLAN.

Liberals deepen federal deficit in response to Trump tax cuts

New business tax write-offs are intended to help Canadian businesses compete with U.S. rivals

The Liberal government is spending billions to help corporate Canada compete with the U.S. and to prop up struggling news organizations — showing a willingness to go deeper into deficit with no timeline for returning to a balanced budget.

In his fall fiscal update, delivered this afternoon, Finance Minister Bill Morneau touted Canada's strong economic performance but warned that global uncertainty, unpredictable oil prices, lingering trade disputes and deep tax cuts brought in by U.S. President Donald Trump are all posing serious challenges.

The Fall Economic Statement delivers $17.6 billion in new spending over six years — about $16.5 billion of it in foregone revenue to boost Canadian business productivity.

Those measures include a new tax write-off scheme allowing manufacturers to immediately recoup the full cost of machinery and equipment, as well an immediate write-off for clean energy equipment.

There's also a new accelerated capital cost allowance to encourage businesses of all sizes in all sectors to invest in assets that can drive long-term growth by allowing them to deduct the costs of those investments sooner.



"We could have ignored the concerns of business leaders, decided not to make the investments and the changes that are part of the Fall Economic Statement, and we would have had a lower deficit as a result," Morneau said.

"To do so would be neither a national response nor a responsible one."

No balanced budget in sight


The Liberals, who promised during the 2015 election campaign to cap deficits at $10 billion and balance the books by 2019, are now forecasting a $19 billion shortfall this fiscal year.

That deficit is projected to decrease to about $12 billion by 2022-23. Without the new spending, that deficit figure could have dropped to less than $5 billion.
The Opposition Conservatives have been pressing the government to provide a timeline for eliminating the deficit, but this update provides no such target.

Kevin Page, president of the Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy at the University of Ottawa and a former federal parliamentary budget officer, said many might question whether it's fiscally responsible for the government to respond to the Trump administration's stimulus efforts with deficit financing. Washington has slashed corporate tax rates from 35 per cent to 21 per cent.
"We're deficit-financing the corporate sector," Page said.

The fiscal update also invests $595 million over five years to help non-profit and for-profit news organizations through new charitable tax incentives and refundable and non-refundable tax credits.



Morneau said the investments are meant to protect the "vital role" that independent news media play in Canadian democracy.

Conservative finance critic Pierre Polievre took aim at the government's decision to carry long-term deficits.

"Not only did they break their promise, not only will they fail to balance the budget, as they said, but they now admit that under their plan the budget will never be balanced," he said.

"There is no time period into the future where they are even committing to a situation where the debt stops growing."

Media supports 'very dangerous'


As for the government's plan to bolster news media outlets, Polievre said public tax dollars should not be used in an election year to set up a panel who will determine "which media survive and which don't."

"We think the media should be independent from the government," he said. "We should not have a situation where the government picks a panel who then gets to decide who reports the news. That's very dangerous."

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh also stressed the importance of preserving media independence, but said government support is "absolutely important" to the goal of maintaining robust journalism.

"The approach of providing supports is something necessary," he said, adding the government could help by spending advertising dollars in local newspapers instead of on giants like Google and Facebook.

 

Avalanche safety, protecting fish stocks


On the announcement of business tax breaks, Singh said the government should have delivered targeted, specific measures aimed at creating and protecting jobs rather than a "blanket approach" that will only benefit corporations.

Other new spending initiatives in the fiscal update include:
  • $25 million for a one-time endowment to Avalanche Canada to develop a national program to research and promote avalanche safety. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was an advocate for avalanche safety before he became Liberal leader. His brother Michel died in an avalanche in British Columbia in 1998.
  • $107 million over five years to promote sustainable salmon and other fish stocks.
  • $63 million to improve the Nutrition North program.
The federal debt, projected to hit $688 billion this fiscal year, is expected to climb to $765 billion by 2023-2024. By that time, the annual cost of servicing the debt will be more than $34 billion a year.

But the size of the debt compared to GDP — the ratio the Liberals tend to cite as a measure of the federal government's fiscal health — will continue to decline.

'Same old Dennis' greeted Richard Oland's secretary in hours before homicide

Mr. Gold stated that if the was a lot of blood at the crime scene and that the brown jacket that Mr. Oland had on should have had more blood found on it. Well wasn't it just dry cleaned but still there was his father's blood still found on it? I don't understand his logic with stating this.

@Bernard McIntyre What Mr. Gold is saying is that the crime scene was a blood bath, blood all over the place, and therefore the brown jacket should of been covered in blood, Not four almost invisible drops. The Dry Cleaners said there was no blood on the jacket when it was put into the dry cleaners. The Defence put forth the theory that Mr Oland Snr had borrowed that jacket for six months, and he had a really bad skin condition and the four very small blood drops could of come from this

@Ken Howe, if you're guilty, better off going with a jury; it's a crapshoot. If you are innocent, go with a judge alone if you can. Otherwise, you could very well be found guilty by the likes of how some rationalize on here, Some are just unable to grasp the meaning of the presumption of innocence and the burden cast on the Crown to prove the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt.

@Marguerite Deschamps Methinks in return I should inform you that I was a friend of Dick Oland ever since I sold him a Kawasaki Z1R in 1978 which I heard that he kept until the day he died. Trust that the Crown knows that I have issues concerning the ethics of the Crown, the cops, the judge and all the lawyers involved in the trials of his son whom I do not know but I truly believe to be innocent. Feel free to Google their names and mine. Now you know something you didn't know N'esy Pas?



'Same old Dennis' greeted Richard Oland's secretary in hours before homicide

Dennis Oland faces 2nd-degree murder charge in the 2011 death of his father

Richard Oland was pleased to see his son when he stopped by his Saint John office unannounced on the night he was killed, Dennis Oland's murder trial heard Thursday.

Maureen Adamson, the elder Oland's secretary, testified he gave his son an "animated "hello.'"
"As I remember, it was sort of a, 'Hey, Dennis," she said. "He seemed to be quite happy to see him."



Dennis Oland, 50, is being retried for second-degree murder in the bludgeoning death of his multimillionaire father more than seven years ago.
It was Adamson who discovered the 69-year-old businessman's body in his office on July 7, 2011. He was face down in a pool of blood and had suffered more than 40 wounds to his head, neck and hands.

Adamson, the Crown prosecution's first witness, described being struck by a "terrible, terrible vile odour" and seeing legs splayed on the floor before she rushed to get help.

Dennis Oland was the last known person to see his father alive when he visited him the night before at his investment firm office, located on the second storey of 52 Canterbury St.

Adamson said he arrived around 5:35 p.m., just a few minutes before she left for the day.

She "chit-chatted" with him briefly about his daughter, who had been named most valuable player at a basketball tournament, she said under cross-examination by defence lawyer Michael Lacy.

"When Dennis came up and was speaking to you, it was the same old Dennis you'd talked to before, right?" asked Lacy.

"Yes," replied Adamson.

"There was nothing about his demeanour or the way he was conducting himself that put you on guard about anything, is that fair?" Lacy asked.

"That's fair."

When she left the father and son alone together, they were discussing genealogy, with Richard Oland seated at his desk and Dennis Oland standing beside him, the courtroom heard. The pair were so engrossed in their conversation, Adamson said, they didn't respond to her when she said goodbye.

On Wednesday, during opening statements, Crown prosecutor Jill Knee described the relationship between father and son as being "strained."

Adamson said she mostly saw them at the office, but as far as she knew, they had a good relationship.
"Aside from what I call normal grumblings most people have with family members … I thought they got along well," she said. "I did not see that distress that I heard about later on" through media reports.

Lacy also challenged the Crown's theory of a possible financial motive for the murder. Knee said Wednesday that Dennis Oland's bank account was overdrawn, his credit was maxed out and his latest monthly interest payment of $1,666.67 to his father — for $500,000 he received in 2009 during his divorce from his first wife — had bounced.

Adamson said she handled Dennis Oland's payments and agreed with Lacy that Richard Oland would only inquire "once in a blue moon."

"He never complained to you or grumbled about the loan?" he asked.

"No, she said."

A jury found Oland guilty in December 2015, but the New Brunswick Court of Appeal overturned the conviction in October 2016 and ordered a new trial, citing an error in the trial judge's instructions to the jury

Justice Terrence Morrison dismissed the 16 jurors chosen for the retrial on Tuesday over concerns the jury selection was tainted. Morrison is presiding over the new retrial without a jury.

On Wednesday, lead defence lawyer Alan Gold and Crown prosecutor Jill Knee delivered their opening statements. Gold said Oland will once again testify in his own defence.
