> 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.

PPC EDA for Red Deer - Mountain View
May 12 at 5:44 AM ·

Last night we had our long anticipated Town Hall. We learned exciting
news. Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson has been acclaimed as the candidate
for Red Deer Lacombe. The crowd erupted in cheers!! More cheers upon
the announcement of Paul Mitchell as the candidate for Red Deer
Mountain View. Kelly Lorencz will be off to the big city of Calgary to
dethrone Michelle Rempel. There were several speeches throughout the
evening but the most exciting part of the night was a call from our
fearless leader himself MAXIME BERNIER. A recording of Max’s call will
be posted later today but in the meantime enjoy these pictures of
evenings events. I will add captions to the photo s later today.

PPC candidates announced for Red Deer area

    Mamta LullaMay. 14, 2019 3:20 p.m.Local NewsNews

The People’s Party of Canada has two central Alberta candidates lined up.

Paul Mitchell is the party’s Red Deer-Mountain View candidate, while
Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson is the party’s Red Deer-Lacombe candidate.

The announcement was made at a town-hall-style meeting in Red Deer on
the weekend, said Annick Baldwin, the party’s Red Deer-Lacombe
constituency association president.

Tyler Thompson, who ran in the Burnaby South byelection in February in
B.C., is moving to Alberta, Baldwin said Tuesday.

She came in fourth place in the byelection behind Conservative
candidate Jay Shin, at 10.7 per cent of the votes. New Democratic
Party Leader Jagmeet Singh was elected as the new MP for the riding
with 38.9 per cent of votes.

Baldwin said Tyler Thompson is known for her humanitarian work, has a
strong Christian background and stands up for parental rights.

About 40 people attended the town hall meeting Saturday.

Interest in the newly formed party is high in Albertaas well as in
central Alberta. Baldwin noted two central Albertans put together the
party’s gun policy, which is now on the party website.

She said the two candidates will be working closely during the
election and the two will share an office in Red Deer.

The candidates will take part in the Ponoka Stampede parade in June
and conduct another town-hall-style meeting in Lacombe the same month.

Patrick Moore is a Canadian nuclear energy advocate and founder of
Greenspirit Enterprises, a a PR company he started in 1991 that works
“with many leading organizations in forestry, biotechnology,
aquaculture and plastics, developing solutions in the areas of natural
resources, biodiversity, energy and climate change.” [3]

Moore is often incorrectly referred to as a founder of Greenpeace.
According to a statement by Greenpeace, “Patrick Moore frequently
portrays himself as a founder or co-founder of Greenpeace, and many
news outlets have repeated this characterization. Although Mr. Moore
played a significant role in Greenpeace Canada for several years, he
did not found Greenpeace.” [49], [4]

While Moore worked with Greenpeace Canada, and worked with Greenpeace
International between 1981 and 1986, he broke away from Greenpeace
after he concluded that “the environmental movement had abandoned
science and logic in favor of emotion and sensationalism.” According
to Greenpeace, “what Moore really saw was an opportunity for financial
gain. Since then he has gone from defender of the planet to a paid
representative of corporate polluters.” [2], [5]

After he left Greenpeace, Moore began work with the Nuclear Energy
Institute front group, the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition
(CASEnergy). Moore stepped down from his leadership role at CASEnergy
in January 2013, however said he would remain an active member. [16],
[38], [39],

Moore has worked for the mining industry, the logging industry, PVC
manufacturers, the nuclear industry, and in defense of biotechnology.
Greenpeace issued a 2010 statement distancing itself from Moore,
saying he “exploits long gone ties with Greenpeace to sell himself as
a speaker and pro-corporate spokesperson, usually taking positions
that Greenpeace opposes.” [5]

Surprise Surprise Surprise


David Amos
And now the lady quits? Yea Right

Trust that Mr Scheer and everyone else who sits in opposition know
that Jody Wilson-Raybould may have lost her mandate as Justice
Minister because of her failings in Federal Court and the Federal
Court of Appeal within my lawsuit against the Crown that was filed
when Harper was the Prime Minister and Mr Scheer was the Speaker. Need
I say that it irritated me bigtime when Jody appointed her Deputy
Minister to the bench of Federal Court not long after I argued their
minions in the Federal Court of Appeal?

Methinks anyone can check my work by simply Googling two names "Jody
Wilson-Raybould David Raymond Amos" N'esy Pas?


David Amos
Methinks truth is stranger than fiction and anyone can easily Google
"David Amos Federal Court file No." in order to sort out the truth
from fiction for themselves. Its blatantly obvious that Mr Trudeau had
a duty to talk to Harper's Minister of justice and Peter MacKay and
had them pay particular attention to info found within statement 83 of
my lawsuit long before the election in October of 2015

Everybody knows why I am about to put the aforementioned matter before
the Supreme Court and file several more lawsuits in the Federal Court
against the RCMP and the CRA etc and also run for a seat in Parliament
again N'esy Pas?

Jody Wilson-Raybould resigns from cabinet in wake of SNC-Lavalin allegations
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stressed Monday that he had 'full
confidence' in Wilson-Raybould​

Jody Wilson-Raybould, the former Attorney General of Canada, has
resigned from cabinet. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)


Jody Wilson-Raybould — the former justice minister who has kept
largely silent since a news report claimed the Prime Minister's Office
pressured her to help Quebec-based engineering firm SNC-Lavalin avoid
criminal prosecution — has resigned from cabinet.

She tweeted a link to her resignation letter this morning.

"With a heavy heart I am writing to tender my resignation as the
Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National
Defence," she wrote.

    With a heavy heart I have submitted my letter of resignation to
the Prime Minister as a member of Cabinet...

    12:34 PM - Feb 12, 2019



    Statement from the Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, Member of
Parliament for Vancouver Granville |...
    jwilson-raybould.liberal.ca


"When I sought federal elected office, it was with the goal of
implementing a positive and progressive vision of change on behalf of
all Canadians and a different way of doing poltics."

Wilson-Raybould, who was shuffled to the Veterans Affairs portfolio in
January, has been under intense scrutiny since a Globe and Mail report
alleged last week that the PMO wanted her to direct federal
prosecutors to make a "deferred prosecution agreement" (DPA) to avoid
taking SNC-Lavalin to trial on bribery and fraud charges in relation
to contracts in Libya.

Wilson-Raybould, who plans to stay on as MP for Vancouver-Granville,
has been quiet since the story broke, saying she can't comment because
she's bound by solicitor-client privilege.

In her resignation letter, she said she has retained the services of
lawyer Thomas Cromwell, a former justice of the Supreme Court of
Canada, to advise her on "topics that I am legally permitted to
discuss on this matter."

In an email to CBC News, Cromwell said he would not be making any
statements or doing any interviews.

A spokesperson for MP Francis Scarpaleggia, chair of the national
Liberal caucus, said that as of Tuesday morning, Wilson-Raybould
hadn't left caucus.

Ethics investigation launched

Her resignation marks a significant turning point in the emerging
SNC-Lavalin affair.

Just a day earlier, Prime Minster Justin Trudeau told reporters he
continues "to have full confidence in Jody."

He also insisted that he did not direct Wilson-Raybould to come to any
specific conclusions on whether to direct the Public Prosecution
Service of Canada to reach an agreement with SNC-Lavalin.

"She confirmed for me a conversation we had this fall, where I told
her directly that any decisions on matters involving the director of
public prosecutions were hers alone," Trudeau said Monday.

"I respect her view that, due to privilege, she can't comment or add
on matters recently before the media. I also highlight that we're
bound by cabinet confidentiality. In our system of governance, her
presence in cabinet should speak for itself."

    Companies guilty of wrongdoing should be hit where it hurts — in
their pockets, says business prof

    Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs calls out 'racist and sexist'
treatment of Wilson-Raybould

    Trudeau says he has 'confidence' in Wilson-Raybould as ethics
commissioner probes PMO over SNC-Lavalin

    Jody Wilson-Raybould was involved in legal government talks about
fate of SNC-Lavalin, sources say

Wilson-Raybould's resignation likely will cast a shadow over the
upcoming election campaign. So will a recently-launched probe by the
federal ethics commissioner.

On Monday, Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion informed the NDP MPs who had
requested an investigation that there is sufficient cause to proceed
with an inquiry into Trudeau's actions in the case.

Responding to a letter from NDP MPs, Dion said he would investigate
the prime minister personally for a possible contravention of Section
9 of the Conflict of Interest Act, which prohibits any official
responsible for high-level decision-making in government from seeking
to influence the decision of another person so as to "improperly
further another person's private interests."

SNC-Lavalin faces charges of fraud and corruption in connection with
nearly $48 million in payments made to Libyan government officials
between 2001 and 2011.

The company has pleaded not guilty.

If convicted, the company could be blocked from competing for federal
government contracts for a decade.

The case is still at the preliminary hearing stage.

David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15



                      Court File No. T-1557-15

FEDERAL COURT

BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS

                           Plaintiff
and

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

                           Defendant

STATEMENT OF CLAIM

The Parties

1.      HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN (Crown) is Elizabeth II, the Queen of
England, the Protector of the Faith of the Church of England, the
longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and one of the
wealthiest persons in the world. Canada pays homage to the Queen
because she remained the Head of State and the Chief Executive Officer
of Canada after the Canada Act 1982 (U.K.) 1982, c. 11 came into force
on April 17, 1982. The standing of the Queen in Canada was explained
within the 2002 Annual Report FORM 18-K filed by Canada with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It states as
follows:

     “The executive power of the federal Government is vested in the
Queen, represented by the Governor General, whose powers are exercised
on the advice of the federal Cabinet, which is responsible to the
House of Commons. The legislative branch at the federal level,
Parliament, consists of the Crown, the Senate and the House of
Commons.”

     “The executive power in each province is vested in the Lieutenant
Governor, appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the
federal Cabinet. The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are exercised on the
advice of the provincial cabinet, which is responsible to the
legislative assembly. Each provincial legislature is composed of a
Lieutenant Governor and a legislative assembly made up of members
elected for a period of five years.”

2.      Her Majesty the Queen is the named defendant pursuant to
sections 23(1) and 36 of the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act. Some
of the state actors whose duties and actions are at issue in this
action are the Prime Minister, Premiers, Governor General, Lieutenant
Governors, members of the Canadian Forces (CF), and Royal Canadian
Mounted Police (RCMP), federal and provincial Ministers of Public
Safety, Ministers of Justice, Ministers of Finance, Speakers, Clerks,
Sergeants-at-Arms and any other person acting as Aide-de-Camp
providing security within and around the House of Commons, the
legislative assemblies or acting as security for other federal,
provincial and municipal properties.

3.      Her Majesty the Queen’s servants the RCMP whose mandate is to
serve and protect Canadian citizens and assist in the security of
parliamentary properties and the protection of public officials should
not deny a correspondence from a former Deputy Prime Minister who was
appointed to be Canada’s first Minister of Public Safety in order to
oversee the RCMP and their cohorts. The letter that helped to raise
the ire of a fellow Canadian citizen who had never voted in his life
to run for public office four times thus far is quoted as follows:

  “Mr. David R. Amos
            Jan 3rd, 2004
153Alvin Avenue
   Milton, MA U.S.A. 02186

                Dear Mr. Amos

      Thank you for your letter of November 19th, 2003, addressed to
                my predecessor, the Honourble Wayne Easter, regarding
your safety.
                I apologize for the delay in responding.

      If you have any concerns about your personal safety, I can only
               suggest that you contact the police of local
jurisdiction. In addition, any
               evidence of criminal activity should be brought to
their attention since the
               police are in the best position to evaluate the
information and take action
               as deemed appropriate.

       I trust that this information is satisfactory.

                                                              Yours sincerely

 A. Anne McLellan”

4.      DAVID RAYMOND AMOS (Plaintiff), a Canadian Citizen and the
first Chief of the Amos Clan, was born in Sackville, New Brunswick
(NB) on July 17th, 1952.

5.      The Plaintiff claims standing in this action as a citizen
whose human rights and democratic interests are to be protected by due
performance of the obligations of Canada’s public officials who are
either elected or appointed and all servants of the Crown whose
mandate is to secure the public safety, protect public interests and
to uphold and enforce the rule of law. The Crown affirms his right to
seek relief for offences to his rights under section 24(1) of the
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter). Paragraphs 6 to 13
explain the delay in bringing this action before Federal Court and
paragraphs 25 to 88 explain this matter.

6.      The Plaintiff states that pursuant to the democratic rights
found in Section 3 of the Charter he was a candidate in the elections
of the membership of the 38th and 39th Parliaments in the House of
Commons and a candidate in the elections of the memberships of the
legislative assemblies in Nova Scotia (NS) and NB in 2006.

7.      The Plaintiff states that if he is successful in finding a
Chartered Accountant to audit his records as per the rules of
Elections Canada, he will attempt to become a candidate in the
election of the membership of the 42nd Parliament.

8.      The Plaintiff states that beginning in January of 2002, he
made many members of the RCMP and many members of the corporate media
including employees of a Crown Corporation, the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation (CBC) well aware of the reason why he planned to return to
Canada and become a candidate in the next federal election. In May of
2004, all members seated in the 37th Parliament before the writ was
dropped for the election of the 38th Parliament and several members of
the legislative assemblies of NB and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL)
knew the reason is the ongoing rampant public corruption. Evidence of
the Plaintiff’s concerns can be found within his documents that the
Office of the Governor General acknowledged were in its possession ten
years ago before the Speech from the Throne in 2004. The Governor
General’s letter is as follows:


  “September 11th, 2004
          Dear Mr. Amos,

           On behalf of Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne
Clarkson,
           I acknowledge receipt of two sets of documents and CD
regarding corruption,
           one received from you directly, and the other forwarded to
us by the Office of
           the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.

                       I regret to inform you that the Governor
General cannot intervene in
           matters that are the responsibility of elected officials
and courts of Justice of
           Canada. You already contacted the various provincial
authorities regarding
           your concerns, and these were the appropriate steps to take.

                                                  Yours sincerely.
                                                              Renee
Blanchet
                                                              Office
of the Secretary
                                                              to the
Governor General”

9.      The Plaintiff states that the documents contain proof that the
Crown by way of the RCMP and the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy
Prime Minister knew that he was the whistleblower offering his
assistance to Maher Arar and his lawyers in the USA. The Governor
General acknowledged his concerns about the subject of this complaint
and affirmed that the proper provincial authorities were contacted but
ignored the Plaintiff’s faxes and email to the RCMP and the Solicitor
General in November of 2003 and his tracked US Mail to the Solicitor
General and the Commissioner of the RCMP by way of the Department of
Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) in December of 2003
and the response he received from the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy
Prime Minister in early 2004. One document was irrefutable proof that
there was no need whatsoever to create a Commission of Inquiry into
Maher Arar concerns at about the same point in time. That document is
a letter from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office
Inspector General (OIG complaint no. C04-01448) admitting contact with
his office on November 21, 2003 within days of the Plaintiff talking
to the office of Canada’s Solicitor General while he met with the US
Attorney General and one day after the former Attorney General of New
York (NY) and the former General Counsel of the SEC testified at a
public hearing before the US Senate Banking Committee about
investigations of the mutual fund industry.

Methinks whereas Murphy spoke about her passion for social justice,
the lady and I should have a long talk very soon about the lawsuit I
filed in Federal Court in 2015 while I was running in the last federal
election N'esy Pas?




Brenda Murphy installed as New Brunswick's 32nd lieutenant-governor


Formal ceremony held in Fredericton on Tuesday follows swearing-in last month

Brenda Murphy was installed as New Brunswick's 32nd
lieutenant-governor during a formal ceremony Tuesday at the
legislative assembly in Fredericton.

In her first speech as lieutenant-governor, Murphy spoke about her
passion for social justice.

"Effective change can happen when we work together to build an
inclusive, equitable society, address systemic barriers and support
one another," she said.

"Having experienced New Brunswick through several different lenses, I
am looking forward to bringing that diverse perspective to this role
and to continuing to serve the people of our province."

Murphy, 60, of Grand Bay-Westfield, succeeds Jocelyne Roy Vienneau,
63, who died Aug. 2 following a battle with cancer.

Murphy was sworn in during an informal ceremony on Sept. 8 to allow
for the immediate commencement of her duties.

    Brenda Murphy 'humbled' to be appointed New Brunswick's new
lieutenant-governor

Premier Blaine Higgs, who hosted Tuesday's official ceremony, thanked
Murphy for her leadership in social justice and making "a profound
difference in the lives of many New Brunswickers."

"I know she will continue to inspire others and contribute to the
betterment of our province as lieutenant-governor, and I look forward
to working with her."

Murphy spent more than two decades as the head of the Saint John
Women's Empowerment Network before retiring in April and has served on
advisory councils on poverty and the status of women at the federal
and provincial levels.

She served three terms as a town councillor in Grand Bay-Westfield and
has volunteered with a variety of organizations over the years,
supporting housing, justice and equality for women.

Lieutenant-governors are appointed by Julie Payette, the Governor
General of Canada, on the recommendation of the prime minister. They
serve terms of at least five years.

AIM president blasts Saint John city leaders, province at public meeting

The company has been a catalyst for complaints about noise, dust, pollution and series of explosions


Connell Smith· CBC News· Posted: Oct 17, 2019 9:49 AM AT



Herb Black, owner of American Iron and Metal, says he has cancelled plans to add jobs at his embattled scrap metal recycling operation on the west side. (Connell Smith, CBC)

The president of American Iron and Metal put on a combative performance at a public meeting in Saint John on Wednesday.

Herb Black hosted the event to defend his embattled scrap recycling operation, which has long been in the spotlight over the past few years.

The facility has been a catalyst for noise, dust and pollution complaints from neighbours on the city's lower west side and central peninsula.


But the 75-year-old billionaire had little time for apologies when he addressed the public.

"Seriously folks. Wake up and see, and tell me what you really want," he said. "You don't want a scrap yard here. You don't want action. You don't want jobs."

Facility as loud as a lawn mower


AIM has 70 scrap metal facilities operating on five continents.

Black likened the impact of his Saint John facility to a visit from a cruise ship with attendant taxis and crowds on the streets of the uptown.

At one point he claimed the facility's centrepiece metal shredder was no more noisy to neighbours than a lawn mower or motorcycle.

With his Department of Environment operating permit up for renewal in December, Black went further, by repeatedly criticizing New Brunswick Environment Minister Jeff Carr, who was seated a few feet away in the front row.


In December 2017 Carr briefly ordered the shutdown of the AIM facility. The decision came after a series of explosions on site.
Black said the shutdown cost the company more than $1 million.

"Close my place down … Minister Carr? I'd like to close your place down," he said.

Vern Lanteigne watched the performance from his seat just behind Carr.

The west side resident estimates his home, located about 150 meters from the AIM facility, is worth far less since the company set up shop in the city in the mid 2000s.

"I've put thousands of dollars into it, to get it to where it is now. And I can't get half the value of it," he told Black.


West Saint John resident Vern Lanteigne claims his home has lost more than half its value since American Iron and Metal set up shop nearby. (Connell Smith, CBC)

Black immediately offered to have the home appraised, suggesting the company could buy the property.

An AIM representative then took Lanteigne's contact information.

Limiting dust, explosions


Black said the company had done a lot to limit dust and explosions from things like propane tanks hidden among the scrap, but adds: noise is part of any business.

During his presentation, he referred several times to recent expansion plans for the facility, including a factory and retail operation, that would have brought "hundreds" more jobs to the city.
Speaking afterward to reporters Black said those plans were now cancelled.

He claimed however, the meeting was a success.

"I feel good about it, for me I feel good. You know why? I was able to share with the people the truth."


New Brunswick's Minister of Environment Jeff Carr faced repeated criticism from Black during the Wednesday night meeting. (Connell Smith, CBC)

Carr, who appeared unruffled by a series of exchanges with Black, shrugged off the criticism. He said there hasn't been an explosion at the AIM site since July and that both noise and dust levels were improved and within limits.

He said the department will "wait and see" how the company performs before making a decision on renewal of the company's approval to operate in December.

Saint John scrap-metal plant ordered to shut down immediately

Order came Thursday from the Department of Environment and Local Government




Julia Wright· CBC News· Posted: Nov 22, 2018 6:08 PM AT



When American Iron and Metal filed for approval to expand its west Saint John scrap recycling operation the company's consultants said it would have little impact on its neighbours. (CBC)

The provincial government has ordered a scrap metal recycler to shut down all of its Saint John operations immediately, after dozens of loud explosions on the west side.

The American Iron and Metal scrap yard, located on Port Saint John property, has been the site of more than 40 explosions in the past 16 months, including several this week.
The company has said about 50 people work at the site.

"The order requiring the immediate shutdown of all operations at the facility was delivered today,'' said Environment and Local Government Minister Jeff Carr.

"We have been deeply concerned about the ongoing environmental issues at the site."


The latest explosions at the AIM scrap yard on the west side occurred at about 8 a.m. Monday. The plant did not cease operations after the blast, as the port stipulated it must in a Sept. 20 letter. (Julia Wright/CBC)


Must eliminate explosions


In addition to stopping work immediately, the order requires the company to submit a plan to eliminate explosions and the impact of excessive noise and vibration within 60 working days.

"It is important that companies work with us, while respecting their neighbours and the environment," Carr said.

The order — which will remain in effect until further notice — comes after weeks of escalating tension between the company and port and city officials.


In a statement Monday, Port Saint John described the actions and response of AIM with respect to explosions as "unacceptable" and said it is investigating the cause of the blasts.

Port Saint John stipulated in a Sept. 20 letter to AIM that when an explosion happens, operations must "cease immediately" and the company must immediately notify the port authority, Department of Environment, emergency and fire officials, the public and adjacent port stakeholders.

The port then determines whether the operations can resume.

AIM continued to operate on Monday after an explosion.

"My understanding was that they were asked [to shut down] and my understanding is that they refused," said Saint John Mayor Don Darling.

On Thursday night, a group of citizens voiced their concerns about the yard and the explosions during a well-attended meeting at the Harbourfront Residences in uptown Saint John.

60 days to address issues


Because the AIM operation is on Port Saint John land, it falls within the jurisdiction of the port and the province, Darling said.

The order from the province, he said, may be a step in the right direction.

"[We have] 60 days here to address some of these issues," Darling said.

"We will continue to bring forward on behalf of citizens their concerns, and the city's concerns. … If what it means is in the short term, we're going to stop some explosions and give people a bit of a reprieve while we have some important dialogue, I think it's a good thing today."

AIM signed a 40-year-lease for its Saint John scrap yard with the Port of Saint John in 2002.

The yard underwent a $30 million expansion in 2011, increasing its capacity to 250,000 metric tonnes of scrap annually.
If what it means is in the short term, we're going to stop some explosions and give people a bit of a reprieve while we have some important dialogue, I think it's a good thing today. 

- Don Darling, Saint John mayor
AIM president and CEO Herb Black is scheduled to meet with city and port officials in Saint John on Friday at 2:30 p.m.

"The plan was to present the city's and the citizens' concerns, and a range of themes, if you will, and that's still the plan." Darling said.

The company, founded in 1936 in Montreal, has 2,500 employees at 80 locations around the world and revenues exceeding $2 billion.

Meet the 'Scrap King': controversial scrap yard CEO visits Saint John

City, port seeking resolution after dozens of explosions





Julia Wright· CBC News· Posted: Nov 23, 2018 8:20 PM AT




 'I'm not sure they're impacted the way they're claiming they're impacted,' said American Iron and Metal CEO Herb Black of the recent spate of explosions in Saint John. (Graham Thompson / CBC)

After months of explosions in Saint John, Herbert Black — 74-year-old billionaire, art collector and CEO of American Iron and Metal — arrived with an entourage at City Hall on Friday afternoon.

Black, who some have called the "Scrap King of Montreal," met with Saint John Mayor Don Darling and Port Saint John officials to discuss a way forward after the Department of Environment issued a stop-work order to the company.
I think people don't understand the difference between an explosion and a vibration. 
- Herbert Black, American Iron and Metal CEO
The order gave AIM 60 days to submit a plan to eliminate explosions and the impact of excessive noise.


Black said misinformation has been circulating about the operation.

"When you read some of the things that have been printed in the newspaper — I am not a second Donald Trump and I'm not going to say it's fake news, but I'm going to say it's incorrect news … people are giving you false information and you are taking it at their word and you are printing it."

"I think people don't understand the difference between an explosion and a vibration."

He initially disputed that Saint Johners have heard explosions and suggested they were exaggerating the impact.
"There might be some people that really have a problem, and I would be more than happy to meet with them and to discuss it with them and find a solution."



Unique explosion problem

After a heated conversation between Black and city officials over whether the news media would be allowed to attend, the meeting was held in private.

Afterward, Darling said the parties will try to work together.

Black said American Iron and Metal is a "victim" of the explosions, "not the creator of them."

The Saint John yard shreds and recycles old vehicles and other metal scraps into marketable metals.AIM's main suppliers are auto parts recycling centres from New Brunswick and some from P.E.I., Nova Scotia, and Maine.

Black said hazardous materials are sometimes "camouflaged" in the thousands of cars that can be processed daily.

"We're working to find out exactly who is shipping what, and we've tried hard but there are a lot of pieces of the puzzle," he said.

Black said Saint John's issue with explosions appears to be unique among his operations. Of AIM's 10 shredders, "I don't have the problem I have here with any of them," he said.

"I do have explosions from time to time. I have never had a shredder operate for a year without an explosion or two or three. It just doesn't happen."

'Nothing is perfect in life'


AIM upgraded its Saint John shredder in 2011 at a cost of $30 million — increasing its output by roughly 500 per cent.

"I feel very confident that there won't be any problems in terms of dust or noise or other situations," Black told CBC Information Morning Saint John at the time.


Saint John Mayor Don Darling and Black 'are committed to working together in an open fashion,' Darling said. (Graham Thompson / CBC)

"And if there are, even if it's within the law and it makes people uncomfortable, I'll be the first one to correct it."

AIM's approval to operate certificate says it is the company's responsibility to inspect the material that gets shredded.

With 1,000 tonnes coming through the yard daily, Black said, things can fall through the cracks
There's such a thing as human error. They go for a coffee break, or they have to go to the bathroom, or something happens in between. Nothing is perfect in life.
- Herbert Black
 "There's such a thing as human error. They go for a coffee break, or they have to go to the bathroom, or something happens in between. Nothing is perfect in life."

Darling said that during the meeting, the port, city and AIM reached an agreement to "get going right away to get us to a better place."

"I'm a believer that we can have a coexistence between industry … and citizens quality of life."

$5 million lawsuit in Quebec


This isn't the first time Black has dealt with complaints about his operations.

When Black started a metal recycling plant at the former dump in Levis, Que., in 2005, the $25 million project was met with opposition by local environmental groups.

They alleged the company lacked the proper permits and was polluting the nearby Etchemin River. The opponents managed to halt work on the plant by getting an injunction.  

 
Black sued a group of Quebec environmentalists who objected to the installation of a metal shredder in a dump in Levis, Que., in 2005. (Graham Thompson / CBC)

Black then filed a $5 million lawsuit for what he called "malicious, reckless and abusive efforts" to stop the project.

The defendants alleged this response was a SLAPP suit — or strategic lawsuit against public participation — a tactic sometimes used by companies with deep financial reserves. Black denied the allegation.

SLAPP actions are designed to intimidate and silence opponents by dragging them through lengthy and expensive court proceedings until they abandon their cause.

The matter was settled out of court in 2007.


American Iron and Metal has no plans to relocate its Saint John facility, Black said. (Julia Wright / CBC)

'No flame and no fire'


On Friday, Black said all shredding activity has stopped for now at the west side operation — and AIM is working on a "program" to penalize suppliers who ship explosive material.

"If people don't ship the proper material and it would explode, that we could go back on them, we could find them, we could penalize them, we could shut them down, or we could do something," he said.

He also reiterated that the blasts have "no flame and no fire to it."

Election predictions are murky in Miramichi-Grand Lake

New Brunswick's largest federal riding includes a wide range of views




Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Oct 17, 2019 7:00 AM AT

Sisters Wendy and Wanda Northrup are so in sync with each other that they finish each other's sentences — even when they're trying to sort out who they'll vote for in next week's federal election.

"I don't like Trudeau," Wendy said as the pair arrived at the Foodland grocery store in Minto, in the southwest corner of the Miramichi-Grand Lake riding.

She was quick to add: "I've always been Conservative but I'm not sure this time. The NDP, I think if I vote for them, I'm just taking a vote from somebody else."


"But if everybody thinks like that, you get no change," Wanda answered. "I think I'm voting NDP … I'm tired of the other two."

"Very tired," Wendy agreed.

"It's always one or the other, and look at us," Wanda said.

"They make all these promises," Wendy added. "Some promises happen but we're still in debt."

The indecision afflicting the Northrup sisters speaks to the murky electoral picture in Miramichi-Grand Lake, the province's largest federal riding and perhaps the most difficult to figure out.

Through the woods in Doaktown, Coun. Art O'Donnell, a provincial candidate for the populist People's Alliance last year, had surprisingly good things to say about the first-term Liberal incumbent.


"I've met Pat Finnigan many times and he's a gentleman and he's been good to me."

But, he said, the idea of voting Liberal, of supporting Justin Trudeau, scared him.

The Fredericton riding is getting lots of attention during this campaign as the scene of a possible Green Party breakthrough. But Miramichi-Grand Lake is where a different kind of anti-establishment vibe could affect the outcome on Oct. 21.

"I'm not sure which way this riding's going to go," O'Donnell said. "I think people really do want an alternative."

But, he added, newer parties haven't been quick enough to nominate well-known candidates.

"There's mixed feelings, and they can change any time, at the last minute," said Norma Jean Dickison as she pulled out her flower beds for the fall across from the Doaktown Tim Horton's. "No one knows for sure how people are going to vote."

The constituency sprawls across the province's midsection, running from Minto, near Fredericton, up to Boiestown and Doaktown on the Upper Miramichi, and over to a slice of Kent County and mostly francophone Rogersville and Baie Ste. Anne.

It then continues north to take in the city of Miramichi and communities up the coast, including Neguac and Tabusintac.

In its more than 17,000 square kilometres, there are anglophones, francophones and several First Nations. It is dominated by traditional industries such as forestry and fishing.


The riding of Miramichi-Grand Lake encompasses parts of the counties of Northumberland, Kent, Queens, Sunbury and York. (CBC)

"I have a mini-representation of the province here," Finnigan said as he campaigned at a seniors' residence in Boiestown.
 
The businessman from Rogersville was first elected in 2015, winning 47 per cent of the vote, thanks in part to the Trudeau wave that swept all 32 ridings in Atlantic Canada.

He's running on his own reputation and on the government's record, pointing to the Canada Child Benefit introduced by the Liberals, their middle-class tax cut and the move of the pension eligibility age back to 65 from 67.

He also credits Trudeau with salvaging the North American Free Trade Agreement, almost cancelled by Donald Trump, and with signing a trade agreement with the European Union that opened new markets for lobster fishermen in the constituency.

"We have a record to talk about," he said. "It's a different conversation [than four years ago], but a good one."

But the Liberal wave of 2015 has receded, and provincially, voters here have shown a willingness to try new things.

In last year's provincial election, the People's Alliance won two of the five ridings that overlap with Miramichi-Grand Lake, and came within 35 votes of capturing a third. In another corner of the federal constituency, a provincial Green MLA was elected.

The populist success of the Alliance would seem to open the door to a new party like the People's Party of Canada (PPC), and candidate Ron Nowlan says he's seeing some interest from voters.

"I'm surprised at the support. A lot of doors will say, 'You don't even have to keep talking. We're going to vote for you guys anyway.'" But, he added, "The majority say, 'I don't know what I'm going to do.'"

Nowlan worked on People's Alliance MLA Michelle Conroy's campaign in Miramichi last year and says many of her supporters are backing him, though so far not a lot of her campaign volunteers have signed up to work for him.

They are "either busy or just don't have the time to give us volunteer support."

It's also not assumed that Alliance voters will go to the PPC.

"I don't think anybody's voting for [PPC Leader Maxime] Bernier," said Rodney Hoyt of Minto. "He's too far away in Quebec. We've got problems down here that are different than Quebec."

Nowlan agrees. "People don't understand the different platforms at the federal level and the provincial. It's a very different ball game."

People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin has refused to endorse any federal party, making it hard to predict where his supporters will go on election day.

"I hear people say they're possibly going to go Conservative, some others are going PPC and I'm sure there are others of our supporters who will go to the other parties as well … We're a diverse party in our membership and people will do what best suits them."

Nowlan isn't the only candidate making Miramichi-Grand Lake more unpredictable than usual.

There are also two candidates with Conservative ties — the party's official candidate, Peggy McLean, and an independent, Allison McKenzie, who was nominated as a Conservative and then disqualified.

McKenzie beat two other contestants for the party nomination in April, but after the convention she and her two rivals were all rejected over unspecified irregularities.

Former MP Tilly Gordon-O'Neill then stepped in as the Conservative candidate, only to withdraw for medical reasons.

McLean was then chosen to carry the party colours, only to have McKenzie jump into the race as an independent.

"That's just exactly what our democracy needs, is more voices creating honesty and integrity and making a voice for everyone in the riding," McKenzie said.

She dismissed the possibility that she'll take away Conservative votes from McLean and make it easier for Finnigan to win for the Liberals. "I'm planning on taking this and coming right up the middle," she said.

McLean is warning voters to stick with the party that has a chance of taking power.

"There's power in numbers," she said. "If you're looking at voting for somebody, if their party stands a chance of forming government, you'd like to be on the same side as government. You'd like to have a voice and have some representation."

Hoyt, in Minto, is receptive: he said he won't support a new party.

"Liberal or Conservative, because I trust them," he said. "I don't trust the other ones."

McLean is campaigning on the theme of affordability, echoing national Conservative themes of attacking Liberal spending and the party's carbon tax, while promising to bring back measures like boutique tax credits that lower the cost of living.

"People are very, very concerned about being able to pay their bills," she said.

Congenial race


She calls her Liberal opponent Finnigan "a really nice guy," and Finnigan refuses to criticize the Conservatives for their difficulty in settling on a candidate to run against him.

"I've got to sell myself," he said. "I'm not going to put down anyone else to prop myself up."

He said that comes from his years operating a business. He founded an agriculture co-operative in Rogersville and started Mr. Tomato, a produce store in the village.

That taught him to get along with everyone — even the provincial MLAs from four different parties within the federal riding.

"I've been in business all my life and I know you have to build relationships," he said. "Our politics are different, but if it's about helping someone or some community, they know I'll be at the table."

The congenial tone between McLean and Finnigan, and the lack of excitement over candidates from other parties, may be another reason why Miramichi-Grand Lake is so hard to read.

"It's extremely quiet," Austin said. "There's not a lot of buzz … and I don't know what that means."

The election is not as murky as some might suggest, most candidates including the incumbent are most likely decent people willing to serve the public.. This election is about Justin Trudeau, he ran on his family name without earning it, who refuses to take responsibility and will fire anybody that disagrees with him.. It's very clear that only a Conservative government will unite Canadians, develop the energy sector and remove the tax on home heating bills and the carbon tax on gas... More than ever, the choice is clear.

Follow your head or your heart: A progressive voter's strategic struggle

Fredericton man wrestling with voting Liberal out of fear for Conservative victory



Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Oct 18, 2019 6:00 AM AT





Economics professor Tony Myatt says he's struggling with voting Liberal to help block the Conservatives or to go with his heart and vote Green. (CBC)

Tony Myatt's exactly the kind of voter Justin Trudeau was talking about when the Liberal leader swooped into Fredericton earlier this week with a plea to progressive voters.

"For me, the defining issue is climate change," Myatt said Thursday morning in an interview at his home. "I believe there's a climate emergency. It's very, very serious, very dire. We need action."

But the economics professor at the University of New Brunswick has spent the last week agonizing about how to achieve that at the ballot box.


"We need to stop the Conservatives from gaining power," he said. "So my heart is to vote Green, but if voting Green allows the Conservatives to win, that would be really bad. So I'm looking at the numbers and worrying."

The Liberals have been sliding in the polls, prompting Trudeau to warn left-leaning voters that choosing a party other than his may divide what he calls the "progressive" vote, allowing Andrew Scheer's Conservatives to form a government.

In most areas of the country, Trudeau's aiming at the NDP, which has been gaining support.

But in Fredericton Liberal fears are centred on the Greens, who have a strong provincial base.
"If you want progressive action, you need a progressive government, not a progressive opposition," Trudeau said during an appearance at the home of a supporter.

He called his climate plan "the most ambitious plan Canada has ever had. … We've done more than any other government in the history of this country."


Trudeau has introduced a carbon tax that applies in provinces that have not adopted their own price on carbon, including New Brunswick.

But he hasn't laid out a realistic way to get to Canada's goals under the Paris climate agreement. He has adopted the previous Harper government's emissions-reductions targets, which fall short of that goal.

"What Trudeau has implemented so far has been insufficient," Myatt said. "Obviously he's planning to go further, but the plan as it's announced doesn't nearly go far enough."

Still, he said he'd be "devastated" if Conservative candidate Andrea Johnson was elected in Fredericton thanks to a Liberal-Green split, and if that in turn helped bring Scheer to power.

Doing his homework


So Myatt has been studying poll numbers and seat-projection sites carefully.

"I was just letting it play out," he said. "It fluctuated a bit over the last few days. Yesterday it seemed like the best way I could vote was Green, and now it's changed again."

Myatt's familiar with strategic-voting arguments. In 2010 he ran provincially for the New Brunswick NDP, a party often on the losing end of that equation.

He's been consulting one strategic-voting site, VoteWell, which advises voters how to defeat Conservatives. Until Thursday, its recommendation for Fredericton was the Green Party, and party members shared that widely on social media.

But Thursday morning, based on the latest polling, the site's recommendation switched to the Liberals.
Seat-projection sites are not based on riding-level polls. They use national trends to project how much party support will swing compared to the last election in individual races.

Fredericton Liberal candidate Matt DeCourcey said it's "absurd" to think the Green Party can win, pointing out that the party won 12.4 per cent of the vote last time, far below what seat projection sites were showing.

"Polls don't vote, people vote," DeCourcey said.

Still, Myatt said projections of a close three-way race this time have him thinking he should give up on a strategic vote altogether.

"It's a little bit impossible to get your strategic vote right with it being this tight, so in the end you just have to go with what you want in this riding, in this situation," Myatt said.

"It's so tight and there's such a big margin of error in the projections that I may as well just vote with my heart."

'They're voting for what they want'


Fredericton Green candidate Jenica Atwin said she has encountered voters who are torn.

"This is how they want to vote," she said. "They feel good about voting Green, but they're stuck with that fear again about what could happen."

But Atwin said she's been able to persuade many of them that the Liberals will disappoint them, as she said they did after rallying the left-wing vote in 2015.

"They're really voting with their hearts this time. They're not buying this kind of fear-mongering that they have to vote this way or that's going to be the outcome," Atwin said. "They're voting for what they want."

Myatt is almost there, but he's still not 100 per cent sure.

"I think I'm pretty close," he said, adding that Trudeau's last-minute plea in Fredericton was actually counterproductive.

"I was thinking that way anyway and it was embarrassing to have him saying that, like that's his schtick, especially given the fact that he was promising proportional representation, which would have avoided this problem.

"So I find that annoying rather than anything else … although it's true what he's saying. Annoyingly true."

i have done the same the last 2 elections..voted for a party to block the other party. nothing will ever change if we keep doing this.. libs, cons have both been terrible gvts the last 3 terms, I thnk they have done some postive things but the tradeoffs are never worth it.

Take the plunge i am this time, Even if green/ndp dont win seats maybe, I am hopeful by increasing their vote share will encourage other fencesitters in the next election that are on the fence to vote green or ndp. Change starts with you. This mess will take a decade to sort out if not longer its not going to happen over night. Whats different now is the power of social media. Take to reddit/facebook etc.. encourage people to vote green or whoever.. if people know other people are doing it theyll do it to!

Always with the Liberal slant, and always with description of voting out of "fear". Media bias continues on the eve of another election. Tony Myatt never mentioned (or maybe the journalist decided not to include) that voting is for representation … which is local … which means you vote for the person whom you feel best represents you. There is no "vote splitting" (such a silly concept conjured up by media), there is no voting for the leader (though by voting for your candidate you vote for that party, but if they win or lose nationally is out of your control), and there should be no fear in voting but media keep pounding at the "what if" scenarios. There is no "what if", there is only - and wonderfully - the opportunity to vote for the person in your riding whom best represents your values and direction. That's it, that's all.

Reply to @Dennis Atchison: Ideally, that's the way it should be; but it isn't. The best example is the Bloc in Quebec. Instead of voting with their head, they vote with their rear end sending dysfunctional MPs whose only accomplishment is to yap and yap and yap.

At this point it looks like a Liberal minority. I'd say, if it's a viable option in your riding, elect a green or NDP candidate to keep Trudeau honest.

Terry Tibbs 
Reply to @Graeme Scott:
It's really hard to honestly tell what it does look like. I find it hard to believe the numbers we are being fed by the media, AND the Liberals sure aren't acting like those numbers are accurate, but by all means, vote for whoever you like. Strategic voting doesn't work.

The folks who don't vote will lose by default. When offered a choice in anything, you should pick the best choice for you, with the information you have, to do otherwise, and complain later is dumb.
I've made a LOT of choices, over the years, some good, some bad, but I can always hold my head up, and say I did the best I could.

Reply to @Terry Tibbs: As you well know I was not allowed to vote for many years until Trudeau changed the rules recently whereas I live just across the line from Fundy Royal I cannot vote for myself Furthermore I know every politician in my ridings seeking my vote is a unethical as hell Hence I will not endorse any of them just like the other 40 percent?

Reply to @Matt Steele:
Funny that..............
I am even beginning to suspect the polls too. Someone is awfully worried Mr Trudeau isn't going to get re-elected, and it must be desperate, really desperate, to be pulling out all the stops,
Of course almost 5 million advance voters (who likely did not vote for the approved candidate) have things rattled.

What is agonizing these potential Green voters is voting Green and then seeing the Conservatives win the seat. Not something that makes for an easy decision!

Reply to @Jim Johnston: Agreed, sir. Unfortunately this election is not one to feel great about. In my mind, it comes down to voting against who I DON'T want to win the election. It comes down to who I prefer to represent Canada on the world stage; I definitely don't want a watered-down Trump style PM turning Canada into as much an embarrassment as the USA currently is on the world stage.

So, "making it better" is voting Liberal? That's just plain silly. After the 4 year song and dance we have seen the Liberals do not deserve anyone's vote.

Kinsella consulting firm worked to 'seek and destroy' Bernier's PPC party: documents

Source tells CBC News Daisy Group was acting for the Conservative Party of Canada



Jeff Yates, Kaleigh Rogers, Andrea Bellemare· CBC News· Posted: Oct 19, 2019 12:36 AM ET




Lisa and Warren Kinsella lead Daisy Group, a Toronto-based consulting firm. Documents shown to CBC News reveal Daisy Group produced a project to "seek and destroy" Maxime Bernier's People's Party of Canada for a client that a source tells CBC News is the Conservative Party of Canada. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press)


Warren Kinsella's Daisy Group consulting firm was behind a social media campaign to put the People's Party of Canada on the defensive and keep leader Maxime Bernier out of the federal leaders' debates, according to documents provided to CBC News.

The documents outline the work done by several employees of Daisy on behalf of an unnamed client. A source with knowledge of the project told CBC News that client was the Conservative Party of Canada.

The plan was first reported Friday night by the Globe and Mail.

According to a source with knowledge of the project, who spoke to CBC News on condition they not be named, the objective of the plan, dubbed "Project Cactus," was to make the Conservative Party look more attractive to voters by highlighting PPC candidates' and supporters' xenophobic statements on social media.

The source added that Daisy employed four full-time staffers on Project Cactus at one time.
Kinsella is a lawyer, anti-racism activist and former Liberal strategist who has been a vocal critic of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May faced criticism from her own supporters in July when it was reported that Kinsella had been hired for her party. May told The Star that Kinsella's involvement, to set up a quick-response communications unit, was short-lived.

When asked Friday for comment about his work on the anti-Bernier project, Kinsella issued a short statement.

"We don't ever discuss client matters," Kinsella said in an email. "We are always proud, however, to be fighting racism and intolerance."

Simon Jefferies, a spokesperson for the Conservative Party of Canada, told CBC News, "We do not comment on vendors or suppliers we may or may not be using."

'Seek and destroy'


Documents seen by CBC News outline a plan to "seek and destroy" the PPC and prevent Bernier from getting into the leader's debates.
The project was designed with three phases, according to the documents.
The first involved research and branding in March and April. The second was identified as a "launch phase" known as "seek and destroy," running from April 16th through to June 30, the start of the pre-writ period when new restrictions kicked in for third-party advertising.

The third phase, to run "July 1st 2019 to TBD" was called the "full steam ahead phase," where the team would "push Maxime Bernier and the PCC off their messages – forcing them, instead, to defend instances of hate speech and sympathy for racism."

Portions of a WhatsApp Chatroom set up by Daisy for Project Cactus and shared with CBC News show Daisy employees workshopping tweets critical of PPC candidates or supporters before asking Kinsella's approval. The tweets were then published on STAMP Out Hate, a Twitter account set up April 24, 2019 for an existing anti-racism nonprofit run by Daisy.



Part of the plan involved setting up a Twitter account related to an anti-hate initiative connected to Daisy, known as Standing Together Against Misogyny and Prejudice, or STAMP. (Twitter)


In the documents seen by CBC, drafted prior to the launch, STAMP is described as a screen for the project and its client.

"Daisy will create an arms-length organization that cannot be linked to the client or any participating organization. This organization will run a proxy war room public relations campaign that allows real Canadians to shine a light on the prejudice and hate that is associated with the PPC," a Daisy consultant writes.

Anti-PPC tweets dried up after June 29


Tweets for the STAMP Twitter account that were workshopped in the chatroom and later tweeted out by the account are still visible online.

The STAMP Out Hate account lambasted the PPC, its candidates and its supporters right up until June 29, a day before new election rules regarding third party advertisers came into effect. The account has since stopped attacking Bernier's party but has continued to tweet anti-racists messages.

There is no indication whether any further work was done after June 29.

The emails outlining the plan for Project Cactus say "Daisy will work to ensure this campaign is not named as a third party." Later, in the Whatsapp chat provided to CBC News, a Daisy Group employee asks when the date for third-party spending rules kick in.

Another employee replies, "June 30" and the first employee responds, "great thanks!"
CBC News reached out to multiple employees involved in the chat but either did not receive a response or were told they would not comment.
In a statement to CBC News on Friday, the executive director of the PPC said "It hardly comes as a surprise that the Conservative Party of Canada would be behind such disgraceful and cowardly tactics."

"As our Leader Maxime Bernier stated when he left the CPC and repeated on numerous occasions since then, they are 'morally and intellectually corrupt.' And today, this story proves it without a doubt," Johanne Mennie said in an email.

People’s Party leader Maxime Bernier pictured with Hamilton white nationalist Paul Fromm

Coun. Brad Clark ‘outraged that some political leaders are willing to embrace’ groups that promote hatred.

Paul Fromm, left, a Hamilton-based white nationalist, poses with Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada, during a recent rally. A party spokesperson said Bernier had no idea who he was with. - Facebook 

Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People's Party of Canada, has been photographed with Hamilton-based white nationalist Paul Fromm during a recent rally.

Fromm is the director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression (CAFE) and the Canada First Immigration Reform Committee.

In a July 26 Facebook post, he writes the People's Party of Canada's "immigration platform finally offers us a start at regaining control of our borders ..." as part of a caption for a photograph of him with Bernier.

People's Party of Canada executive director Johanne Mennie didn't respond to a request for comment Thursday, but told HuffPost Canada Bernier "had no idea who this individual was."

Brad Clark, a Hamilton city councillor and former Ontario Progressive Conservative cabinet minister, suggested Thursday that he didn't accept that explanation.

"I think it's incumbent on every politician to be aware of what's going on in our community and not in any way, shape or form, give validity or veracity to these groups," Clark told The Spectator during an anti-hate forum at McMaster University's continuing education campus in Jackson Square.

Fromm was stripped of his Ontario teaching licence in 2007 for unprofessional conduct outside the classroom because he embraced views and beliefs contrary to multiculturalism and tolerance, and participated in white supremacist groups and events.

He previously supported Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel, who was deported to Germany in 2005 after a Canadian judge deemed him a security threat.

Bernier, who split from the federal Conservatives to launch his far-right People's Party of Canada (PPC) last year, has courted controversy for public appearances with questionable far-right actors in the past.

Before Fromm, the Quebec politician had already been photographed with members of the Northern Guard, an alleged hate group, in Calgary, the CBC reported. At that time, Bernier also said he didn't know who they were.

Bernier also confirmed to the Globe and Mail in September 2018 he'd spoken to Travis Patron, the leader of the fringe anti-immigration Canadian Nationalist Party. He said he wouldn't speak to Patron again.

Patron's group, which hopes to register enough members to become a party, notes the organization's goals are to "improve the social and economic conditions of an ethnocentric Canada."

Fromm, who ran unsuccessfully for Hamilton mayor in the last election, delivered racist pamphlets to people's doors in a neighbourhood around the former Henderson Hospital on the Mountain during an Ebola scare in 2001. 

Marc Lemire — who's on leave from his IT position at city hall amid an investigation — was a member of the now-defunct Heritage Front, a neo-Nazi organization, who also distributed the hate-mongering pamphlets.

The PPC's platform laments a "growing trend to dilute national sovereignty" and a "globalist vision" for Canada under Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It also rejects Canada's participation in a United Nations agreement on the migration, a wedge issue for far-right groups.

In February, the party's candidates failed to win seats in three federal byelections. They garnered less than two per cent of the vote in an Ontario riding, two per cent in a race in Quebec and 29 per cent in a British Columbia riding.

Ameil Joseph, a McMaster social work professor who studies racism, told The Spectator in a previous interview that discourses in the political mainstream can embolden hate groups.

"When we internalize those ideas, they're dangerous ones. We don't have an opportunity to access the kind of discourse that helps us with those problems. But what we get is Maxime Bernier, who's blaming immigrants, or who's blaming political correctness for problems relating to how we function as a society."

Clark said he's concerned "recognizable hate groups" are seeking legitimacy in the political sphere.
"And I am outraged that some political leaders are willing to embrace those groups just for the initial votes, and later trying to denounce hatred against identifiable groups. You can't have it both ways."

The Stoney Creek councillor was one of roughly 100 people who attended a No Hate in the Hammer campaign launch organized by the Hamilton Community Legal Clinic, Hamilton Roundable Against Poverty and the John Howard Society

This story is part of Exposing Hate, an ongoing series examining the nature of hate in Canada: how it manifests, spreads and thrives and how Canadian institutions, law enforcement and individuals are dealing with it. 

It's a bright Saturday morning on the Hamilton city hall forecourt, and the crowd is split down the middle. Members of the yellow vest movement and far-right groups stand on one side. Rainbow flag wavers with signs displaying slogans like "Diversity is strength" are on the other.

"You all hang with Nazis," a man with the rainbow flag bearers shouts at a woman standing with the yellow vests. "When you hang out with Nazis, you become one."

"We want to see Canada free and great again the way it used to be," the woman hollers back. "Jesus is the Lord over Canada."

This could be any Saturday morning in any city in Canada before too long, says Tina Fetner, a McMaster University researcher who studies social movements.

"It's very important for Hamilton to be a cautionary tale for other cities," Fetner said. "I'm very certain that this is going to be knocking at the door of other cities across Canada. This is something that is a larger phenomenon than Hamilton. It's happening all over Western Europe and North America."

She and others see Hamilton, where confrontations like this have been escalating for months, as an example of what not to do to when dealing with the tension and violence that have accompanied such demonstrations.

Members of the yellow vest movement — which started in France to oppose rising fuel prices but expanded to include far-right grievances over issues such as immigration and accommodation of minorities — gathered weekly in front of city hall for six months before city council voted in June to look at how to handle the demonstrations.
At their height, the protests have included as many as 40 people. They've drawn members of better-known far-right groups such as Soldiers of Odin, Wolves of Odin and Proud Boys to the Ontario city of 530,000 people 70 kilometres southwest of Toronto. Some weekends, only a half dozen regulars assemble. Self-described white nationalist Paul Fromm has been spotted at the protests.

Hamilton had Canada's highest per-capita rate of hate crimes for the last three out of five years, according to Statistics Canada. There were 17.1 hate incidents per 100,000 people, with those incidents ranging from graffiti to assault.

So far this year, there have been 76 hate crimes or incidents, which is four per cent less than this time last year, according to the city's hate crimes unit. Of those, 73 were classified as "incidents," meaning the crimes displayed some hate or bias, but police haven't determined if that was a motivating factor. In the other three, police have determined that hate was a motivating factor.

It's hard to know why Hamilton's statistics are so high, but the answer might partially lie in the definition of hate crime itself.

Police departments across the country use varying definitions of "hate crime," and officers use that definition to determine which crimes to include in the statistics.

Hamilton Police Service's definition is comprehensive, calling a hate crime an offence that "was motivated solely, or in part, because of bias or prejudice." Other police services, such as the Quebec provincial police, have no definition at all.

For some Hamilton residents, hate toward minorities and marginalized groups is, in the words of LGBTQ resident and activist Graham Crawford, "a civic crisis."

Tensions escalate at gay pride festival


Shouting matches between activists denouncing hate and advocating immigrant rights and supporters of the People's Party of Canada, which wants to reduce immigration to Canada, escalated on Sept. 29 when a violent scuffle broke out in a crowd of about 100 at a talk by the party's leader, Maxime Bernier.

But that confrontation paled in comparison to the one that occurred on June 15 at the Pride festival.

A group crashed the festival in Hamilton's sprawling Gage Park with homophobic slogans displayed on signs and broadcast through a loud speaker. A number of people in pink masks identifying themselves as anarchists manoeuvered a portable barrier to block them. Punching, shoving and hitting broke out between the two groups. Several people were injured.

Mayor Fred Eisenberger, who didn't attend the Pride celebration, tweeted his disappointment with that happened the next day. He released a formal statement more than a week later.
It came too late and read like he "wrote it six months ago and put it in a drawer," said Crawford, who last year received the city's "citizen of the year" honour.

A group of individuals identifying as anarchists lashed out by planting signs on Eisenberger's front lawn that read: "Mayor doesn't care about queer people."

The response from the city's police department and its chief, Eric Girt, inspired more distrust.

Cameron Kroetsch, a member of the Pride Hamilton board of directors, said police took too long to intervene in the fracas, even though Pride volunteers had told police in advance where the group with signs would likely appear.

By the end of it, they arrested three counter-protesters and, 10 days after the incident, one anti-Pride protester. The first Pride-related arrest was a transgender anarchist police said was part of the Pride violence but who a parole board later ruled wasn't in the park that day.

"Police are focusing on the wrong people," Crawford said.
Girt further angered his critics when he said police would have "deployed differently" at Pride if the festival had invited police to patrol there rather than urging uniformed officers to stay on the perimeter.

"This is not the way to build trust or to repair the damage you've done," Kroetsch tweeted.

In a later radio interview, Girt was asked about the police relationship with the LGBTQ community, and he referenced working together to address the problem of people having sex in public washrooms. He also said police are obligated to uphold the constitutional right to freedom of expression, and made seemingly unrelated references to the decriminalization of anal sex. He later apologized.

Distrust between minorities and law enforcement


The city has been dogged by other headlines that point to the presence of hate groups. The public learned in the spring that Marc Lemire, who has ties to a white supremacist organization, had worked in the city's IT department since 2005. (Lemire is no longer with the city.)

There's a perceived tone deafness among authority figures that's enraged people, Fetner said.

"I think that if you don't nip it in the bud with a very serious and clear statement of values, and then back that up by bringing people out into a large counter-protest to make it very clear that hate is not welcome in your town, then you may risk being a place where people gather like Hamilton has become."

Kiel Hughes, 29, is black and LGBTQ. He says he started feeling the strain within the city in earnest in December 2016, one month after the election of Donald Trump as president in the U.S. Hughes left his Hamilton home for work one morning, he said, and found "n--ger die" written in the snow on his car.

"I just dropped everything that was in my hands and took a moment to try and collect myself," he said. When he got to work, he showed a coworker a photo and "her face was like she saw a ghost. She just grabbed me and hugged me."

Hughes reported the incident to police and flagged authorities again when he received a threatening message online. But he says he wouldn't go to police now. The targets of hate, he said, are often the focus of police.
"When you follow the news, you hear of this trans woman arrested, this gay person arrested, but you're never hearing about the other side getting arrested," Hughes said. "So I don't want to go down there and be the black one that's been arrested."

Police, he said, will "always look at my reaction but never the action that got my reaction."
Hamilton police spokesperson Jackie Penman says she's sorry to hear Hughes wouldn't feel safe reporting a hate crime to police.
 

Hate has been growing online, says Tina Fetner, a sociologist at McMaster University. But lately, "pockets of physical organizations cropping up, like people coming together around protest sites and occasional rallies." (Richard Agecoutay/CBC)


"Hamilton Police take hate crime seriously, and we would always encourage any person to report such incidents to police in order to initiate an investigation," she said in an email.

"We've made a concerted effort to reach out to our diverse communities to ensure citizens know where and how to report hate crimes/incidents, particularly where physical violence is involved."

Still, CBC News spoke to more than a dozen visible minority and LGBTQ residents in Hamilton, and they echoed Hughes's sentiments.

"What we constantly get from the mayor, and from the chief, is defensiveness, instead of 'Wow, people are really angry at me. What's happening here? What do I need to change about my behaviour?'" said Lyla Miklos, former chair of the city's LGBTQ advisory committee.

"It's all this, 'It's your fault because you're mad at me' kind of thing, and it's very frustrating to sit and watch."

Not everyone feels the tension. Debanjan Borthakur, a McMaster University graduate student who is also a person of colour, was at the Gandhi Peace Festival at city hall last Saturday. He said he hasn't noticed an escalation of hate in Hamilton.

"That's my experience," he said. "Others may have a different experience."

The mayor spoke at that event, acknowledging the criticism of him and the police and telling the crowd he is "firmly denouncing all those that spew hate, no matter who they are."

"I know in my heart that this is a welcoming and diverse city," he said.

Balancing right to protest and protection for all


The city is looking at how to stop the Saturday protests. Earlier this year, council voted to improve its security cameras and collect data from demonstrations, and the city hired a new security investigator to analyze that information. Council will also review its trespassing bylaw this month.

Eisenberger said he's looking at getting a court injunction but that the city has to balance the constitutional right to freedom of expression with calls to shut down the protests.

"We're doing everything we can, including looking at an injunction on the forecourt, that might prevent these groups from forming there," he said outside a police services board meeting this month. "I think that's a high hurdle, but we're exploring those opportunities."

Justin Long, a spokesperson for the Hamilton yellow vest group, told CBC News the group has switched to protesting at other spots around the city. That's to escape "attacks by Antifa," he said, using a term for the militant far-left protesters who often clash with far-right and white nationalist groups at demonstrations.

Groups like Soldiers of Odin and Proud Boys are there "for security," Long said.

The Soldiers of Odin have been described as "an anti-refugee vigilante group" by the Anti-Defamation League and have organized neighbourhood patrols in Quebec City and elsewhere claiming to protect locals from Muslim immigrants.
The Proud Boys say they're a fraternal organization that practises "Western chauvinism" but has  appeared at far-right and white nationalist rallies in the U.S., including at the deadly August 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va. Last year, accounts and pages affiliated with the group were banned by Instagram and Facebook for violating their policies on hate speech and organizations.

Long said the yellow vest group will keep protesting until Canada walks back its participation in a United Nations immigration pact. That pact outlines 23 points for treating migrants humanely and efficiently. But Long said it's evidence the government isn't listening to people.

"We're going to be protesting and raising awareness until we get some accountability from our government," he said.

'Dialogue is ongoing,' says mayor


Eisenberger has attended a weekly counter-protest against the yellow vest group, and some councillors have shown up several times. The mayor appointed two volunteers to advise him on LGBTQ issues, although one has since stepped down.

"We've had a number of meetings with the queer and trans community on an ongoing basis, so that dialogue continues," Eisenberger said.

"We've had meetings with the broader community, with the Muslim, the black, the Jewish, all the targets of hate in our community, and that dialogue is ongoing."

Eisenberger disputes that the city and police have been slow responding or let hate flourish.

"That's not who I am," he said. "That's not what I've done. And they can continue to share that narrative, but that's not what I believe."

The Ontario Office of the Independent Police Review Director is investigating a complaint regarding police conduct on the day of the Pride festival. Girt is also investigating three internal complaints. Eisenberger, who chairs the police services board, says officers are doing "a terrific job" dealing with the protests.

"These [issues] are not unique to Hamilton," he said. "They're happening, you know, not only here but across the country."

When asked about community mistrust, Girt said he wants to "move the dialogue forward." Police had one meeting with members of the LGBTQ community and plan to have more.

"We understand the hurt to this community," he told CBC News outside a police services board meeting. "It's a reason I apologized for the comments [on the radio]. I'm not looking to hurt the community anymore. We want to move in a positive direction."

Statistics Canada numbers show an upward trend when it comes to reported hate crimes in Canada. There were 1,798 hate-motivated crimes last year, for example, compared to 1,295 in 2014.

'These are complex issues'


While hate appears to be growing online, said Fetner, there are also "pockets of physical organizations cropping up, like people coming together around protest sites and occasional rallies."

"It's going to be really important to figure out a clear way to talk about freedom of speech rights, but at the same time still hold to your values."

Asked what his advice would be to other cities, Eisenberger told CBC News that "communication and dialogue is critical."

"The yellow vests claim that I'm not supporting them, and they have issues, and the anarchists are saying similar things," he said.

"These are complex issues, and they don't have any easy answers. And we're going to do everything we can to try and ensure that we continue to provide a safe community."

You've heard of the 'big 6' political parties, but what about the 'fringe 15'

From animal rights, to Christian values and communist ideals, Canada's smaller parties fight for a voice

 

Peter Zimonjic· CBC News· Posted: Oct 19, 2019 4:00 AM ET



The Leader of the Rhinoceros Party of Canada, Sébastien 'CoRhino' Corriveau, wants to replace Canada's Arctic patrol vessels with a fleet of ships modelled on Theodore Tugboat. The Rhinos are one of 15 smaller parties running candidates in Monday's federal election. (Submitted)

While many Canadians may be familiar with the main federal parties in Canada, many are not always aware of the smaller political parties in this election that sit outside the mainstream.

In all, there are 21 federal parties registered with Elections Canada. The leaders of six of those parties participated in the two televised debates put on by the Leader's Debates Commission. The remaining 15 have had to work a lot harder to get their message out.

One of those is the Communist Party of Canada, which is running candidates in 30 of Canada's 338 federal ridings.



"We're hoping to build our party and build the fight against corporate greed," said Drew Garvie, the candidate for the party in the Toronto riding of University Rosedale.

Their plan sounds simple, to "put people's needs before corporate greed," but the policy initiatives they want to implement to make their vision of Canada a reality would be far-reaching.
Some of those initiatives include cutting the military budget by 75 per cent, shifting the tax burden from working people to the wealthy and corporations and nationalizing banks, natural resources and other industries that would then be controlled by the state.

Louis Lang, a candidate for the Marxist-Leninist Party in the Quebec riding of Pontiac, also wants corporations to contribute more to the public purse.

His party, which is running 50 candidates in this election, is backing an initiative to shift the way public services such as education and health care are funded in Canada.

Instead of collecting general taxes to pay for social services, Lang said, a calculation should be made to determine what economic benefit a healthy, educated adult brings to a company.  The company should then be charged what it cost the state to educate and keep that person healthy.



Social conservative vision


The Christian Heritage Party, which is running 51 candidates, is focused less on the economy and more on social conservatism. Peter Vogel, the party's election chair said the party's platform has been built around three themes: life, family and freedom.

The life theme includes calls for reversing assisted dying legislation and the protection of the "pre born." The family theme calls for the promotion of the traditional family in Canada. Vogel says that means a marriage of one man and one woman because, he said, a "family is the most stable place for children to be raised with a mother and a father."

The party says it also wants to combat media bias by defunding the CBC, which it says is biased against Christian policies and a Christian worldview.

"We're trying to keep progressing in terms of getting our message out to more Canadians," said Vogel. "That's really a major difficulty for smaller parties; getting the message out in areas that we run."

Protecting animals, and more


The Animal Protection Party, which is running 17 candidates, has an obvious focus on treating animals better than they are currently treated. But as deputy leader Jordan Reichert told CBC News, the party's platform also addresses issues that range from foreign affairs and health, to education and the economy.

"Our platform is the only one that gives equal consideration to people, animals and the environment," Reichert says.

All candidates of the party are vegan and the party pledges to withdraw subsidies to animal-based industries and transition to plant-based industries. They also want to implement a meat tax that would be similar to the tax on tobacco, with the aim of discouraging people from eating meat.

Of course, not every party has a radical agenda. The satirical Rhinoceros Party of Canada, which is running 39 candidates, simply wants people to consider voting and paying attention to the decisions made in Ottawa, even if that means voting for them.

A vote for the sake of it


"As people, we have to stay aware of what is happening in Ottawa, which is very far away from most people," Sébastien "CoRhino" Corriveau, leader of the Rhinoceros party, told CBC.

"If you vote Green, that's good, then go vote Green. If you vote for the Liberals, that's good, go vote for the Liberals. But if you don't vote, if you think that all politicians are corrupt, then go vote Rhino," said Corriveau, who is hoping to unseat the Liberal minister for families, children and social development in the last Parliament, Jean-Yves Duclos, in the riding of Quebec.

The party's platform is a collection of jokes masquerading as policy initiatives that are worth a read. Some of the highlights include:
  • Implementing a national program to bribe weather forecasters so they will only predict sunny skies.
  • Building a "highway of pipelines" from one coast to the other that would include up to 30 individual pipelines. One would carry water from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic and another would carry water from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 
  • The party also wants to replace Canada's Arctic patrol vessels with a fleet of Theodore Tugboats, modelled on the one that lives in Halifax harbour. The idea, Corriveau says, is that should a dispute break out with Russia over who owns the Arctic, Canada could combat Russian missiles with Theodore smiles. 
The remaining parties officially registered with Elections Canada include:
  • Canada's Fourth Front - seven candidates. The party bills itself a "pro-Canada" alternative to the main federal parties. 
  • Canadian Nationalist Party - three candidates. A far-right party promoting the maintenance of European heritage and culture in Canada.
  • Libertarian Party of Canada - 24 candidates. This party seeks to maximize personal freedom by limiting the role of government in people's lives. 
  • Marijuana Party - four candidates. The party wants deregulation to ensure that marijuana is as cheap and available to buy and sell as coffee.
  • National Citizens Alliance of Canada - four candidates. This controversial far-right party wants to limit immigration and deport all illegal immigrants.
  • Parti pour l'Indépendance du Québec - 13 candidates. This party seeks Quebec's independence from Canada.
  • Progressive Canadian Party - three candidates. This party formed after the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada merged with the Canadian Alliance to form the Conservative Party of Canada. Members opposed the merger.
  • Stop Climate Change - two candidates. This party wants radical action to stop climate change. 
  • The United Party of Canada - four candidates. This left-of-centre party says it straddles both Liberal and Conservative ideology. 
  • Veterans Coalition Party of Canada - 25 candidates. This party describes itself as a coalition founded on truth, duty and honour.

I voted for the party I wanted and not the party the would likely defeat the party I don't want. Strategic voting is what's failing Canadians, there are too many views points with Canadian citizens that one party can not comply with. If the party leaders aren't will to work with other party leaders in their own country what makes anyone think they are good at working on the world stage with other world leaders, where Canada's real revenue is.

Why ?

The non voter will be excluded again.

Why do we care about the voters voting for fringe parties?

In disregarding the non voter, we are disregarding human beings and their motivations.

We cannot have a democratic nation, with or without fringe parties, if we disregard humans who are eligible to vote. It just can't work.

It's also why the Big Three only fight for the 30% they want, instead of the 100% they are employed by.

Sowing confusion, Rhino party fields candidate named Maxime Bernier in Beauce

Satirical party takes aim at leader of People's Party of Canada by running candidate with same name

The Rhinoceros Party is hoping name recognition will give their newest candidate a leg up in the Beauce region, or at the very least sow confusion.

The party has nominated a candidate named Maxime Bernier where the leader of the People's Party of Canada, who has the same name, is also running.

In an interview with CBC News, Bernier said he was approached by members of the satirical party on Facebook and asked if he wanted to run.



Although he's never met the PPC leader, he said it was impossible to avoid the association.

"For the last 20 years, I'd say my name, and I'd hear exactly what Maxime Bernier was doing," he said, adding that people would often joke about how they have the same name.

"This is like, we'll switch the roles. And we'll see if people like me more than him!" he said.

"It's like a payback, but without any bad [intentions]."
Despite the tongue-in-cheek reason he was approached, Bernier said he's serious about running a campaign.

"They asked me at the beginning if I could be just a name," he said. "And I refused that. If I'm doing to do it, I do it all, or I'm not doing it at all."

The 42-year-old from Lac Saint-Jean, who works in the delivery sector, said he plans on focusing on local issues that concern the Beauce, instead of national issues.

"Maxime Bernier thinks it's a bigger concern to fight with a little 16-year-old girl… and tell everybody that [climate change] is not happening, that it's just a story to scare kids, instead of taking care of the people that are supposed to vote for him," he said, referring to Bernier's comments about teenaged climate activist, Greta Thunberg.

"The way he's thinking, I really think it's from another century."

He said that his campaign would focus on the needs of people in Beauce, especially those in the agricultural and dairy sectors, "because they're the ones that elect me."

"I'm not going to try to win Ontario because I want to be the chief of a party," he said.

In a statement to Radio-Canada, the PPC said it was "a good joke" but that they were "confident that the people of Beauce will vote for the Maxime Bernier they know, and not the one imported from Lac Saint-Jean."

As for the Rhino candidate, he said that if anyone is confused, they can refer back to his slogan.
"If you're not sure, then vote for both!"

In the Beauce, a 'handshake campaign' could decide the future of Maxime Bernier and his People's Party

What matters above all in the Beauce, it seems, is whether Bernier is still one of them

Published on: October 3, 2019

BEAUCE, QUE. — The thing to know about the other Maxime Bernier is that he’s not as funny as you might expect. He’s not really that funny at all.

When the Rhinoceros Party, a satirical political protest party, announced last month it had found its own Maxime Bernier to run against the People’s Party leader in Beauce, Que., it was decidedly tongue-in-cheek.

But Rhino-Bernier isn’t taking this lightly. He’s been out to the Beauce twice so far to gather the 100 signatures he needed to appear on the ballot, and he plans to go back. He’s motivated in part by his belief that the real Maxime Bernier, who founded the People’s Party of Canada a year ago after losing the Conservative leadership race and quitting the party, has left the people of the Beauce behind.

“I feel like I could for sure do a better job than him, because he’s not even there,” he told the National Post. It’s a strange mission for a satirical candidate, but perhaps unwittingly, Rhino-Bernier has put his finger on the question at the heart of Maxime Bernier’s political future.

Bernier — the real one — has gotten most of his attention lately for his controversial statements: saying he’s against “mass immigration,” claiming there’s no scientific consensus on climate change and calling teenage activist Greta Thunberg “mentally unstable.”

But in the Beauce, where Bernier was born and raised, these are not the positions that will win or lose him the election. The fact that Bernier launched his own right-wing populist party is of secondary importance here.
Bernier — the real one — has gotten most of his attention lately for his controversial statements
What matters in the Beauce, it seems, is whether Bernier is still one of them, whether he really is defending “Beauceronnes” values, as his campaign signs proclaim. He has almost certainly lost the vote of the region’s dairy farmers, who benefit from the supply management system Bernier has promised to dismantle. He will have to make do with what’s left.

The People’s Party is currently polling nation-wide at less than three per cent. It remains a long shot to win any seat other than Bernier’s, and his is far from a sure thing. Though Bernier insists his party is here to stay, its future may now rest in the hands of 90,000 Beaucerons, who are deciding who the real Maxime Bernier really is.

The Beauce is a large agricultural region stretching south of Quebec City to the U.S. border, dotted with small communities. The high concentration of dairy farmers in the region played a role in Bernier’s narrow loss to Conservative leader Andrew Scheer during the 2017 Tory leadership race. Bernier promised to abolish supply management, which ensures stable prices for farmers who produce dairy, poultry and eggs, and Quebec’s powerful dairy lobby mobilized against him.

But the Beauce also prides itself on its entrepreneurial spirit. For many in the region, a serious labour shortage is top of mind these days. Locals point to the “Help Wanted” signs out front of many businesses.

Beaucerons first elected Bernier as their Conservative MP in 2006. His father, Gilles Bernier, also represented the Beauce in the House of Commons from 1984 to 1997. “Before this, there was no campaign,” said Raymond Beaudet, a local retiree. “Maxime could do whatever he wanted. His riding was a given — it was from father to son. But now that’s done. We have a real campaign.”

This is a riding where being known and liked matters considerably more than belonging to any particular party — one campaign manager referred to the election here as a “handshake campaign.”

“Here in Beauce, (people vote) for the man,” said Nancy Labbé, executive director of a local chamber of commerce. “It’s always been like that. The person has to be present.

That was especially evident at a recent beer festival in the central square of Sainte-Marie, a small town of about 13,500 that has been celebrating its 275th anniversary this year. Bernier and his main rival, Conservative candidate Richard Lehoux, were both present, chatting with people, sipping beer.

Both men are fixtures here. Lehoux, a fourth-generation dairy farmer, was mayor of nearby Saint-Elzéar for nearly two decades. He’s chatty and down-to-earth, and everyone seems to know him. In an interview, he told the National Post that Beaucerons are welcoming people, and he doesn’t think Bernier’s new, populist streak will fly well at home. “People here have always had the reputation of being on the right,” he said. “But never the extreme right.”

Related

Bernier is a different type of politician entirely — charming, charismatic, well-dressed. But here, his approach is no different from Lehoux’s. He chats with supporters, looking relaxed. “I think here in Beauce, people are very honest,” he told the Post. “And they don’t like a politician that will say something one day and the opposite the other day. So maybe some of them won’t agree with all of our platform, but globally, they like what I’m doing.”

There’s only one moment at the festival where it seems like Bernier’s about to be challenged on one of his party’s more controversial policies, a plan to drastically cut immigration. He’s approached by Claude Hervé Kouassi, who arrived in Canada four years ago from Ivory Coast, and wants to know about Bernier’s policy on immigration.

Bernier tells him he wants to see Canada take in economic immigrants — “like you,” he says — but he doesn’t want more asylum seekers crossing the border illegally. Kouassi agrees, and Bernier looks triumphant.

Mostly, though, these are not the questions on people’s minds here. What matters more, to some, is a sense that Bernier’s new political movement has removed him somewhat from his constituents’ concerns. “Now that he’s started this party, he’s turned his back on us a little bit,” said Mario Bonneville. “It’s not the Maxime Bernier from 10 years ago. … He has new ideas that maybe don’t work here.”
When I go to the restaurant, people aren’t talking about the opinion of Mr. Bernier on abortion. They talk about how we need labour
Bonneville said Bernier built up his reputation the old-fashioned way, going door-to-door, attending local events. He still does those things, Bonneville said, but the ideas he talks about now aren’t necessarily what people want to hear.

“When I go to the restaurant, people aren’t talking about the opinion of Mr. Bernier on abortion,” said Labbé. “They talk about how we need labour.”

In Lehoux, the Conservatives hope they’ve found someone just as popular as Bernier, but who’s still immersed in his community. Last November, Scheer travelled to the riding to announce Lehoux’s candidacy, signalling the party is determined to bring this seat back into the Conservative fold.

And plenty of folks here will vote for Lehoux. “He’s a farmer, he comes from Saint-Elzéar,” said Linda Nadeau, who was at the festival with a couple of friends. “I’m from Saint-Elzéar, I’m a farmer. So I’m going to go for him.”

But everyone knows this will be a close campaign in a riding where loyalties run deep. The Liberals are even hoping their candidate, Adam Veilleux, could sneak up the middle to take the seat if the vote ends up evenly split between the People’s Party and the Conservatives. “It’s going to be a very tight race,” said Veilleux. “We’ve got a very good chance now.”

One thing that’s clear is that Bernier will have to win this riding without the support of the region’s dairy farmers. The People’s Party leader has stood firm on his desire to scrap supply management, insisting it protects only a “small cartel” of farmers. “Maxime Bernier had traditional support that he’s lost, because he’s burned bridges behind him with all the agricultural folks,” Beaudet said.

“There’s no way to come back from that.”

At the festival, one of Bernier’s supporters mentions that people have been taking down his campaign signs in some parts of the riding. He’s pretty sure it’s the local farmers.

Bernier insists that whatever the outcome of this election, the People’s Party isn’t going anywhere.

He says he doesn’t believe the polls that suggest his party is only a marginal factor in this campaign.
But it’s difficult to see much of a future for the party if Bernier doesn’t win his own seat. And in the Beauce, this election isn’t a decision about the People’s Party so much as it’s a referendum on Maxime Bernier.

To that end, Beaudet said, the other Maxime Bernier — Rhino-Bernier — could actually help the People’s Party leader. Not everyone here will take kindly to seeing their MP made the butt of a joke. “Beaucerons are proud,” he said. “People will say, ‘Look what they’re trying to do to him.’

“He’s still one of ours. And if you attack one of ours, Beaucerons will react in solidarity.”

Bulletproof vests on the campaign trail - Michael's essay


Michael's Essay· Posted: Oct 18, 2019 6:01 PM ET

The Prime Minister of Canada wore a bulletproof vest during a campaign stop in Ontario days before the federal election.

Let me repeat that: The Prime Minister of Canada wore a bulletproof vest during a campaign stop in Ontario days before the federal election.

As a rule, our political leaders don't wear bulletproof vests. Transit cops do, and parking enforcement people and some private security.



It is said that Donald Trump wears one at his MAGA rallies. In a country which has seen four of its presidents assassinated, perhaps it's not a bad idea.

Thomas D'Arcy McGee is the only national leader in Canadian history to have been assassinated. He was shot outside his Ottawa boarding house on April 7th, 1868. (National Archives of Canada/William James Topley/PA-042396)

The only national political leader in this country to be assassinated was the poet, journalist and Father of Confederation Thomas D'arcy McGee. He was shot outside his Ottawa boarding house on April 7th, 1868.

Has it really come to this?

Has our politics moved from booing and the occasional rotten egg to a need for body armour?
Earlier this week, a group of seniors, some of them lawyers, was sitting around a breakfast table.
Each was asked if he could remember a nastier political campaign.



Each said, categorically, not in his lifetime. One used the word vile.

How did it get this way? Some blame it on the spillover from the Trumpian dystopia south of us.

Some say it's caused by the noxious spread of social media, bringing with them the foulest of the foul.

Election campaigns are not horse races; they are angry confrontations. It is expected that political parties and their leaders will do just about anything to win. But this one is different.

This campaign has been especially brutal — attack ads, name calling, outright untruths flung back and forth like frozen snowballs.

But physical security has not been front of mind as the leaders cross the country.

The only incident I ever saw in terms of personal security and protection involved Justin Trudeau's father.

1968 was a hateful year. In the US, there had been race riots across the country. In April, Martin Luther King, Jr. had been murdered at a hotel in Memphis.

In June, Senator Robert Kennedy was gunned down in the kitchen of a Los Angeles hotel

In Canada, separatist rhetoric was heating up and the whisper of possible violence was in the air.

That year, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was campaigning one afternoon on the Toronto Islands.
As Trudeau moved through the crowd, I was about five feet in front of him walking backwards, taking notes.

Suddenly two young men rushed the PM. The cops quickly wrestled them to the ground. And that was that.

Two things we have to get out of heads as we prepare to vote: the dangerous and crazy politics in the Great Republic is not being imported; whether through apathy or wisdom, Canadians would not let that happen.

And secondly, for the same reasons, we won't have a Donald J. Trump in the foreseeable future.
As we trek to the church basements and libraries tomorrow, none of us will need a bulletproof vest.
Guarantee it.

Quebec company says it will sue New Brunswick over failed bid to seize dry dock

Quebec company says it will sue New Brunswick over failed bid to seize dry dock

Premier Blaine Higgs rejects claims, saying Groupe Océan has no right to complain



Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Sep 06, 2019 7:16 PM AT




Groupe Océan says the government's actions caused the company to miss a window for moving the dry dock. (CBC)


Quebec's Groupe Océan says it plans to sue the Higgs government over the province's failed attempt to block it from moving its floating dry dock from New Brunswick to Quebec.

A Federal Court judge ruled Thursday that the province could not prevent the company from moving the dry dock from the shipyard in the village of Bas-Caraquet.

But the government's initial injunction, which blocked the move for several days, caused the company to miss its window to make the move and may delay it by days, weeks or even months.

"To be stopped like that and to have to wait for the next window of opportunity, it will cost us a lot of money, and for sure, we will assert our rights in regard to this cost," said company spokesperson Philippe Filion.

Higgs rejects allegation of 'bad faith'


Filion said the province acted in bad faith when it went to Federal Court for an order blocking the move just days before the company's long-planned date
.
The government knew for months that Groupe Océan could only move the dry dock at high tide, Filion said. He accused the province of halting the move during that window and then not making a strong case once the opening had passed.

"For us, this is bad faith," he said Friday.

Premier Blaine Higgs rejected that, saying Groupe Océan had secured a sweetheart deal that gave it no right to complain.

"Given the lucrative nature of this contract that the province handed to them a few years ago, it's kind of ironic they would take that position," he said.

He said the ruling wasn't a defeat for the province because it will also see Groupe Océan pay the province $260,000 in bail for the dry dock.

And he said the company's supposed window for launching the dry dock has shifted by several days in discussions with provincial officials. The government gave them permission before the court action to get ready to move the dry dock, he said.

"I think what the delay is going to turn out to be is the hurricane," he said, meaning Hurricane Dorian, which is expected to affect New Brunswick on the weekend.

Groupe Océan is an anchor tenant at the New Brunswick Naval Centre, the government-owned shipyard in Bas-Caraquet. The province took over ownership under the previous Liberal government after the yard ran out of money.

Not enough local workers, company says


Groupe Océan says it always planned to build the dry dock at the shipyard to give local workers training and experience for future projects, and then move it to its other facilities in Quebec.

The province accused the company of trying to move the dry dock before it was finished to complete electrical work on it there.

The company claimed that it could not find qualified workers to do the job in Bas-Caraquet, though both Higgs and a provincial trade union disputed that claim. The province took what Higgs called the "extreme measure" to seize the dry dock to force the company to do the work here.

But Filion said the province's move was an attempt to blame Groupe Océan for the problems at the shipyard. Several other boat builders are tenants at the yard.
Higgs said last month that taxpayers have invested $10 million in the dry dock. Filion said it has always been part of the company's agreement in 2014 that the province would fund the construction and Groupe Océan would lease it over 20 years.

The premier said that's an overly generous deal that sees New Brunswick taxpayers subsidize infrastructure for a Groupe Océan facility in Quebec that will draw business away from Bas-Caraquet.

"This is a disgrace, the deal that was struck here," he said.

Filion acknowledged Hurricane Dorian is a factor in when the dry dock can be launched, but he said unsettled fall weather will also create obstacles.

"We continue to work on different scenarios and we're trying to figure out what the next window of opportunity will be to launch the floating dry dock," he said.
 
The cost of the delay could run to six figures and includes the expense of keeping two tugboats and a barge on standby in Bas-Caraquet, he added.

Pulp friction: Property taxes on large mills under review

Edmundston alone lost more than $700K in tax revenue after the local mill was reassessed



Robert Jones· CBC News· Posted: Sep 20, 2019 5:30 AM AT




The Twin Rivers pulp mill in Edmundston was one of six mills in the province to see its property assessment reduced in 2013. (CBC)


New Brunswick municipal politicians are hoping a property assessment review underway of the province's six pulp and paper mills will restore some of the $5.9 million in property tax reductions won by the facilities five years ago that caused financial problems in several communities.

"As you can imagine, it was significant," said Edmundston Mayor Cyrille Simard in an email to CBC News about the effect the 2014 tax changes had in his community. 

Edmundston lost just over $700,000 in annual tax revenue when the province slashed the assessed value of the Twin Rivers pulp mill by 58 per cent late in 2013 for the 2014 budget year. 

Twin Rivers was one of six New Brunswick pulp and/or paper mills that received significant property assessment reductions from the province during what were acknowledged to be difficult economic times in the industry.



Edmundston Mayor Cyrille Simard said the lost tax revenue had a 'significant' impact on the town. (CBC)


But international markets have generally improved since then, and during legislature committee hearings into industrial property taxes earlier this month Service New Brunswick officials acknowledged they are re-looking at the value of the pulp and paper mills and will make changes in the assessments next year if warranted.

"We are doing a reinspection of all these pulp mills again," said Stephen Ward, the executive director of property inspection services for Service New Brunswick.

"They are complex properties. It takes us two to three years to actually do a full complete reinspection. We do plan to have them fully valued for 2020 taxation year, but I can't speculate as to what is going to happen to the values of these properties at this point in time."

Millions in revenue lost


The pulp and paper mills, three owned by J.D. Irving Ltd., two by the AV Group and one by Twin Rivers were assessed to be worth $248.6 million as a group in 2012, according to information compiled by the website propertize.ca, and taxed by the province and their host municipalities on that amount.  

The following year, Service New Brunswick cut their assessed value to just $117.9 million. That drove annual property taxes they had to pay from $11.2 million down to $5.3 million.

Much of the reduction was in property taxes paid to the province, but local communities were also affected. Two of the mills are in Saint John and one each in Lake Utopia, Nackawic, Edmunston and Atholville.

Nackawic, which lost $450,000 in revenue, raised property tax rates four per cent to deal with the shortfall. In Atholville, the village budget lost $360,000 and council increased property taxes 10 per cent in response.

Saint John lost $1.5 million in tax revenue from the changes and city councillor David Merrithew, who chairs the city finance committee, wants it back.

"I would hope the increase is meaningful. If [we] can get to [past] levels today, I'd probably be happy.

I don't know if that's going to happen," said Merrithew, who has been critical of Service New Brunswick for implementing the original change and questions whether it is independent enough to undo them.

"I mean, my hopes aren't that high."

Mill exports have increased


Service New Brunswick has defended its assessment cuts on pulp mills as necessary given serious competitive and financial pressures the industry was under back in 2013 and insists there will have to be evidence that has improved for it to raise values from current levels.

"Until we see those other indications, then the property assessment values will be will remain as is,"  Ward told MLAs during the hearings.

Earlier this year, Statistics Canada reported exports of "paper manufacturing" from New Brunswick, which includes exports from the pulp and paper mills, have increased every year since 2012. 
It reported total exports from New Brunswick in 2018 were $1.28 billion, $307.8 million (31.5 per cent) more than in 2012.  

Whether that meets Service New Brunswick requirements for a healthier industry is not known, but Simard said if pulp and paper mills are doing better, he would like to see it reflected in their property tax assessments.

"If there is evidence that the markets have improved since 2013, it should normally have an impact on the assessment of these properties," he wrote.

JDI, which owns three of the mills being reassessed, has been vocal through the summer that it pays enough property tax at current levels.

"New Brunswick pulp and paper mills pay more per unit of output than all other jurisdictions in eastern Canada, with the exception of Ontario," vice-president Mark Mosher wrote in an opinion piece in the Telegraph Journal in July about the company's property tax bills.

"New Brunswick, and Saint John in particular are not low cost property jurisdictions."

Mosher made a similar argument to MLAs at committee hearings two weeks ago.

How dumb are we?

Mills are one thing but how about the government stop the despicable practice of forestry companies who have no mills active in the province but are still cutting on Crown land as they retain their quota? That needs to stop NOW.

Irving Oil claims it's a myth company gets off easy paying taxes

Company pays highest tax bill of any refinery outside Alberta, says executive

Corporations and business groups continued their attack Thursday on a proposal to extend property assessments and taxes to cover their machinery and equipment.

Irving Oil, which operates the largest refinery in Canada in Saint John, blitzed members of a legislative committee with a series of charts and tables designed to show them it's a myth that the company gets off easy paying taxes.

Irving executive Andrew Carson said the company has "the highest tax bill of any refinery outside Alberta" and is facing steep taxes on a number of fronts.


"New Brunswick is not a low-cost jurisdiction," Carson said. "We pay fairly high corporate income taxes, we have high personal income taxes, we have fairly high WorkSafe New Brunswick rates and we now have a fairly high carbon tax."

The legislature's law amendments committee is studying a motion by Saint John Harbour MLA Gerry Lowe to expand the assessment base and end or reduce exemptions.

Motion not binding


The plan already appears doomed. If passed by the full legislature, the motion is not binding on the Progressive Conservative government.

And Finance Minister Ernie Steeves declared yesterday that he has already made up his mind to oppose the measure. He said it would apply property taxes to farmers' tractors and ovens in pizzerias.



Charline McCoy and Miramichi Mayor Adam Lordon spoke on behalf of the Cities of New Brunswick Association.


Miramichi Mayor Adam Lordon responded to that claim during his appearance at the committee Thursday.

"That is not the case," Lordon said on behalf of the Cities of New Brunswick Association. "That is not what we're advocating for. I always think it's important to have a debate on the facts rather than throwing misinformation into the mix as well."


Meanwhile, Saint John Mayor Don Darling pushed back at suggestions that floating the idea is anti-industry or anti-business.

He said it stems from a realization that the municipal tax structure hasn't changed since the Equal Opportunity reforms in the 1960s, when cities weren't playing as large a role in the economy.
"The legislation we're dealing with is decades and decades old,"he told reporters.

At the hearing, Darling repeated his call that the province hand over its portion of property tax revenue in the city to the municipality and eventually give it the power to tax industry directly.

Lower tax burden


Lowe's motion was inspired by a report prepared for Saint John city council in 2017 that examined taxing machinery and equipment.

The rookie MLA and former city councillor says the revenue would allow the city to lower the tax burden on residents, which might help slow the migration of city residents to neighbouring municipalities.
 

Irving Oil and the New Brunswick government squabbled for years over whether the company should get a property tax exemption for its storage tanks on the outskirts of Saint John. The exemption finally went into effect in 1980 and has stayed put. (CBC)


He has repeatedly cited the 800-acre Irving refinery as a potential source of new property tax revenue.

On Wednesday, Green Party Leader David Coon brought up a supposedly temporary 1980 law to exempt Irving's oil storage tanks from provincial property taxes, a measure still in place almost four decades later.

Carson said Thursday the exemption applies to only 10 per cent of the company's tanks at the refinery and its nearby Canaport facility.

"So the balance of our tanks [are] fully assessed, fully taxed municipally, provincially," he said. "They're not treated in a different way."

Carson urged the committee to take into account the company's other contributions to Saint John, including the property tax it pays on its other properties and its involvement in the community.
For the most part, Carson avoided being drawn into discussion about the Irving family's wealth.

Lowe asked him about corporate profits and whether the refinery makes "good money" from all the oil-based products it sells.

But Carson avoided being pinned down.

"It would vary through the year, in all honesty," he replied. "There are generally times in the year when certain products are in higher demand."

Later in the morning, Coon challenged the refrain from various business groups about New Brunswick's high tax burden putting new investment in the province at risk.

'Unlikely to invest'


When Sheri Somerville of the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce said businesses in the province are already overtaxed, Coon pointed to a 2016 Conference Board of Canada report that said New Brunswick had the second-lowest corporate tax burden in the country.

She said there have been new costs since then, including the federal carbon tax, that makes business owners "uneasy" and unlikely to invest.

"Would you not agree that if we have a sub-standard health-care system, that would be a barrier to new investment, to attracting business to New Brunswick? Or if we have a substandard education system or, God forbid, both?"

Somerville answered by calling for a broader tax review.

"There is no one silver-bullet solution that we can apply," she said.
Lordon also called for a broad tax review, even though the eight cities he was representing aren't opposed to Lowe's proposal.

"We're in support of a perhaps higher level of taxation on equipment and machinery, but we don't think that is enough," he said. "It has to be about more than that. It's got to be a lot broader."

Lordon said cities are playing a greater role in the province, with 91 per cent of New Brunswickers living within 50 kilometres of a city but most of them not contributing through taxes to the cost of city services they use.

He said cities need taxation powers to match their growing role as "regional hubs."

Lowe's proposal "would be one very small piece of one very large and complex puzzle," Lordon said.
"This is not going to create the broad systemic change that we desperately need in this province. Looking at only one piece in any way is not going to be enough."

Dear Conservatives, Face it, you're not going to be forming the next government. I will, however, offer you some free advice: drop Scheer and elect a middle-of-the-road, fiscally conservative but socially liberal leader -- the sorts of leaders you USED to elect. You need to understand that social-conservatism is not the Canadian way; to the contrary, it's antithesis of what this country stands for. Trying to inject American influence into your party's policies (and even having an dual American citizen as party leader) is not going to impress Canadians at large. Do you not wonder why, of the five major federal parties you are the only non-progressives? You need to attract moderate voters because it's the moderate masses who decide elections. The Conservatives have gone from "God Save the Queen" Tories to "God Bless America" quasi-US-Republicans in the span of 40 years. That is a massive disservice to your country. Not cool.

Liberals take losses but win enough in Quebec and Ontario to form minority government

Conservatives win popular vote with Alberta and Saskatchewan near sweep, but finish 2nd in seats

After a tight campaign that saw the two leading parties struggle to break out of the pack, the Liberals under Justin Trudeau have held on to just enough seats in Atlantic Canada, Quebec and Ontario to secure a minority government.

While final ballots are still being counted in several ridings, the Liberals are expected to win 156 seats, 21 fewer than they started with 40 days ago. The Conservatives moved up from 95 seats to an estimated 122, while the NDP lost 15 seats to end up with 24.

The Liberals managed to win despite preliminary numbers showing the Conservatives won the popular vote, taking 34.5 per cent of the vote to the Liberals' 33 per cent. That result was most pronounced in the Prairies, where Conservative turnout and support was very high.

In Alberta, the Conservatives won almost 70 per cent of the popular vote to the Liberals' almost 14 per cent. In Saskatchewan, the Tories took 65 per cent of the vote to the Liberals' 10 per cent.

The Liberals managed to hang on to power by holding their ground in both Quebec and Ontario. At dissolution the Liberals had 76 seats in Ontario; they are now poised to win 77 there. In Quebec, the Liberals went into the election with 40 seats and — despite the surging fortunes of the Bloc Québécois — are set to lose only five of those.

The Liberals took 26 of 32 seats in Atlantic Canada — a region the party swept in 2015.
Trudeau thanked his supporters, his campaign team, staff and candidates for their hard work. "You did it, my friends. Congratulations," he said.

"From coast to coast to coast tonight, Canadians rejected division and negativity. They rejected cuts and austerity and they voted in favour of a progressive agenda and strong action on climate change.

"It has been the greatest honour to serve you for these past four years and tonight you're sending us back to work for you. We take this responsibility seriously and we will work hard for you, for your families and for your future."
 
After failing to win a single seat in Saskatchewan or Alberta, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says he has heard those provinces' frustrations. 2:01
 
In his concession speech, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer thanked his supporters and volunteers for their hard work during the campaign, telling them that the Conservatives are "on the march."

"The strength of our democracy is measured not only by the ballots we cast but also how we move forward after they're counted," Scheer said.

"While's tonight's result isn't what we wanted, I am also incredibly proud — proud of our team, proud of our campaign and proud of the bigger and stronger Conservative team that we will send to Ottawa."

"Tonight Conservatives have put Justin Trudeau on notice and Mr Trudeau, when your government falls Conservatives will be ready and we will win."
 
 

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says he's looking forward to heading back to Ottawa with a bigger Conservative team while speaking to reporters in Regina, Sask.  1:29


It was an evening of surprises — among them, Liberal Adam van Koeverden's victory over Conservative Deputy Leader Lisa Raitt in the Ontario riding of Milton, and the election of the first Green Party MP outside of B.C. — Jenica Atwin in Fredericton, N.B. — to bring the Green caucus in the House of Commons up to three.

"I served Miltonians for 11 years. There's a lot of people who never make it into the House of Commons and I've been so privileged to be there," Raitt told CBC News after her loss.

"It's not the win that we wanted to have this evening but I'm among my friends, and I'm among my family and everybody who's been with me for 11 years, so we're going to turn it into a celebration of what we've been able to accomplish."

 
In her concession speech, Ontario Conservative candidate Lisa Raitt says it has been an honour to serve as the deputy leader of her party. 0:51


Goodale goes down to defeat


Long-time Liberal MP and cabinet minister Ralph Goodale lost his Regina-Wascana to Conservative challenger Michael Kram. During his concession speech, Goodale thanked his volunteers and constituents for mandates in the past.

He also expressed gratitude for the many close personal friendships he's made over his years in politics.

"I will always treasure very, very deeply those personal friendships and the bonds that have tied us together," he said. "Because they have been built out of mutual respect and trust, commitment to principles and ideals ... never sparing an ounce of effort, always being willing, all of us together, to go the extra mile to try very hard to accomplish that little bit more for the people that we had the duty and obligation to represent in this riding."
 

"I've been a loyal Liberal in Saskatchewan for a very long time, much longer than a lot of people would have predicted," Liberal candidate Ralph Goodale says after losing in the federal election. He spoke with reporters his Regina-Wascana riding. 0:53


The Liberals took losses across the country. In Alberta, the party lost all three of its seats. Kent Hehr, who has served as the minister of Veterans Affairs and the associate minister of National Defence, lost his seat in Calgary-Centre to Conservative Greg McLean.

Hehr faced allegations of sexual harassment and stepped away from his cabinet posts but was allowed to remain a member of the Liberal caucus.

Amarjeet Sohi, the Liberals' former natural resources minister, was defeated in Edmonton Mill Woods by Conservative Tim Uppal.
The Liberals also lost the Alberta riding of Calgary Skyview — a seat they won in 2015 with Darshan Kang, who subsequently left the party over sexual harassment allegations — and Edmonton Centre.

Former Liberal justice minister and attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould, who left cabinet and then was expelled from the Liberal caucus during the SNC-Lavalin affair, won an an Independent in her B.C. riding of Vancouver Granville.

PPC leader Bernier loses seat


People's Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier lost his seat in the riding of Beauce, Quebec to Conservative candidate Richard Lehoux. In his concession speech, Bernier thanked the 315
candidates across the country who made "huge personal sacrifices" to run for his fledgling party.

"They showed extraordinary courage and passion in defending our principles and policies. They did it despite nasty and shameless attacks from our opponents," he said.

Despite the nationwide defeat, Bernier vowed to keep the party alive to fight in the next election.

"There is no other option for our country. We will be stronger the next time. We will continue to fight for freedom, responsibility, fairness and respect. It's only the beginning for the People's Party."
 

After his party failed to gain a seat, People's Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier says the issues his party raised aren't going away. 2:18


Bloc will 'go even further': Blanchet

The Bloc Québécois, which went into the election with only 10 seats, has won 29 seats in Quebec and is currently leading in another three, signaling another dramatic change to the federal political landscape in that province.

"We've come a long way but we will go even further," leader Yves-François Blanchet told his supporters. "You welcomed me with such warmth it went well beyond my expectations."

The NDP, which started the federal election with 14 MPs in Quebec, appears to have lost most of those seats to the Bloc, with Alexandre Boulerice being the exception in Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie.
 

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will fight for their priorities in Ottawa. 1:55


NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he's proud of his party's focus on proposing solutions to help people who are struggling, and said his elected MPs will have a constructive, positive role in the new Parliament.

"When we get back to Ottawa, every single day that we're in Parliament, New Democrats are going to be working hard to make sure your life is better, that Canadians' life is better, that peoples' lives are better," he said.

Trudeau won his Montreal riding of Papineau. Scheer won in Regina-Qu'Appelle. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May won her riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands and Singh won his seat in the Vancouver riding of Burnaby South.
May told her supporters that despite not doing as well as Green supporters would have liked, she would use her party's three seats to push for climate action in Ottawa. "We can make a really significant contribution in a minority Parliament and we will," she said. 

"I think and I know in my heart that all Canadians do care about the future, they do care about the climate crisis," said May."



"We can make a really significant contribution in a minority parliament," Green Party Leader Elizabeth May says to supporters in Victoria, B.C. Greens picked up 3 seats in the 2019 federal election. 1:13

Elections Canada said roughly 27.1 million people were eligible to vote at one of the approximately 20,000 polling places across the country.

There were 55,515 Canadian expats registered to vote, and a final tally shows 31,798 — a record number — have marked ballots.

Former Liberal cabinet minister Jody Wilson-Raybould is returning to Ottawa as an Independent MP for Vancouver Granville, saying her victory sends a strong message to Ottawa about doing politics a new way.

"I am so happy to be standing here as the newly elected Independent candidate for Vancouver Granville," Wilson-Raybould announced to a roaring crowd after her win Monday.

The incumbent narrowly defeated her closest challengers, Liberal Taleeb Noormohamed and Conservative Zach Segal, with around 32 per cent of the vote in what was initially a tight three-way race.

Wilson-Raybould will be the only Independent in the House of Commons after she was ousted from the Liberal Party over the SNC-Lavalin scandal. Then attorney general, she said she was bullied by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his office to spare the Quebec engineering firm from prosecution.

Her decision to leave cabinet was followed by her colleague Jane Philpott, who failed in her attempt to win as an Independent in the Ontario riding of Markham-Stouffville. The two politicians supported one another at events throughout the campaign.

Trudeau eventually kicked both women out of the Liberal caucus and many of their supporters saw it as vindication when the federal ethics commissioner concluded that Trudeau violated the Conflict of Interest Act by improperly pressuring Wilson-Raybould to stop the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin.

1:55 AM - Oct 22, 2019

Wilson-Raybould declined an offer to run for the Green Party, saying she was content to run as an Independent in 2019. Still, after she was expelled from caucus, she continued to vote with the Liberals on many issues.

'Politics differently'


"Tonight we accomplished — together — something extraordinary," she told her supporters on Monday night. "Independent, strong voices matter, and that we can do politics differently.


In her victory speech, Wilson-Raybould said her win as an Independent shows that politics can be done differently in Canada 0:45


UBC political scientist Gerald Baier said a minority government in Ottawa will allow Wilson-Raybould to pick and choose what issues she wants to support, with little consequence.

"She can vote with the government and nobody is going to punish her," he said. "It's the opportunity to be quite entrepreneurial."

Minority equals 'best laws, policies'


In her victory speech, Wilson-Raybould said she wants to inspire other politicians in Ottawa to work across party lines on issues like climate change, electoral reform and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.

"I do think the best laws and best policies come from a minority government situation and I am going to be proud … and pleased to work with all the members of Parliament," she said.
On Monday, she spent the day making thank you calls while her volunteers knocked on doors for a last minute push to get voters to the polls.

Wilson-Raybould won her seat in Vancouver handily for the Liberals in 2015.

Entering the race this time, she had the advantage of a significantly larger profile than her challengers. But her campaign team was challenged with persuading voters that she would be an effective MP as an Independent without the same privileges in the House of Commons as the member of a major party.

Riding support


Constituents who attended campaign events in Vancouver Granville ahead of election day said they would vote again for Wilson-Raybould, either because they liked her as a person or because they wanted to send a message to the Liberal Party about its handling of the SNC-Lavalin affair.
Some expressed doubts about how much Wilson-Raybould would be able to accomplish in Ottawa as an Independent, but she pledged throughout this campaign to do politics differently through a non-partisan approach

"Vancouver Granville has shown that integrity matters and if we have integrity and do the right thing in politics you can succeed, we can succeed," she said.

Wilson-Raybould is the first Independent MP elected in B.C. since Chuck Cadman in 2004.




Greens celebrate first federal seat in New Brunswick

'I'm just so proud,' Jenica Atwin says after becoming first Green to be elected east of B.C.

Fredericton voters made history Monday night, electing the province's first ever Green member of Parliament and giving the Greens their first seat east of British Columbia.

"I'm just so proud," Jenica Atwin said after her victory in the previously Liberal riding was declared late in the night.

"Our hard work is paying off."

Hundreds of Green supporters whooped and hollered for Atwin at a small brewery on Fredericton's north side as the results came in.

"They are going to hear me, they are going to hear us, and we are going to make the world a better place," she told them.

Atwin led much of the night, with about 33 per cent of the vote, but Conservative Andrea Johnson wasn't far behind, with about 30 per cent.

Liberal Matt DeCourcey, who has held the seat for the past four years, was third, with about 27 per cent of the vote, and the NDP trailed with about six per cent.

Fredericton voters made history on Monday as Green party candidate Jenica Atwin became first-ever Green MP elected east of British Columbia. 2:44 


Atwin called the results "a historic win as a Green and as a woman," and said she's ready to get started in her new role as MP.

"Canada is looking at Fredericton. They're looking at New Brunswick. So we're just so excited about this result."

During the campaign, a lot of eyes were on the Fredericton riding, which has chosen a Liberal or Conservative in recent elections. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May spent time in the riding in the closing days of the campaign, as did Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer.

DeCourcey won almost half the vote in 2015, when the Liberal Party swept all 10 ridings in the province. Fredericton went Conservative in the 2008 and 2011 elections, but at the provincial level, voters have been showing increased support for the Greens.

The party had its first breakthrough in the Maritimes in 2014, when the New Brunswick Green Party leader, David Coon, won a seat in the legislature. In last year's provincial election, the Green caucus expanded to three seats.

Atwin attributed her win to door-knocking, successful debates and the support she received from Coon, whose example as an MLA she considered crucial to her success.

"[The voters] really needed to see what a Green could do before they would trust their vote in this way," she said.




Throughout the federal campaign, Atwin, who works in Indigenous education, focused on climate change, mental illness, poverty and a need for reconciliation with First Nations.

She said her team did everything it could to communicate with voters and spread the message.
"It's nice to see that dot of green," she said.

Polictical scientists break down New Brunswick vote results

Other parties make gains as Trudeau's popularity wanes, and young voters exercise their clout



CBC News· Posted: Oct 22, 2019 5:24 PM AT






The New Brunswick electoral map gained a large swath of blue and an island of green in Monday's federal election. (CBC)

After a Liberal sweep in the previous federal election, the new electoral map of New Brunswick is a little more colourful.

Ridings in the north and east of the province, as well as Saint John, are Liberal red.
Ridings in the south and west are mostly Conservative blue.



It seems like a return to more traditional voting patterns, said J.P. Lewis, a political scientist at the University of New Brunswick's Saint John campus.

Lewis feels the 2015 election results may have been an anomaly.

"You had a case of a government who had been in power almost a decade and then you had, you know, the momentum of a very popular leader during that campaign."

Fast forward to 2019, Lewis said, and Trudeau is instead "a drag on the party."

"I think that brings ridings back to what they historically have voted."

Lewis said Liberal Wayne Long was likely helped to victory in Saint John by the fact he had challenged Trudeau on a few issues.



The overall New Brunswick results, Lewis noted, are "a pretty incredible mirror" of the 2018 provincial election results.

Conservative count doesn't match popular support


St. Thomas University political scientist Jamie Gillies was struck by the efficiency and inefficiency of the voting results — meaning the Liberals won more seats than you would expect and the Conservatives fewer, relative to the popular vote.

The Liberal vote showed "resiliency," he said.

The party won six out of 10 seats in the province and 26 out of 32 seats in Atlantic Canada.
The Conservatives recaptured three ridings in the province that were lost in 2015.

But they lost a tight race in Miramichi-Grand Lake, where the right-leaning People's Alliance Party had made inroads in the 2018 provincial vote.

"All the close races everywhere the Conservatives needed to be competitive across the country against the Liberals, they lost," said Gillies.

Gillies said Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer missed an opportunity to grow his party's base when he spoke after last night's results had come in. Gillies described Scheer's speech as vindictive and partisan.

"That didn't strike me as the right chord to win over over two-thirds of Canadians that didn't vote for you," said Gillies.

"That was not the speech to give."



Jenica Atwin won Fredericton riding for the Green Party.

Historic win for Green Party


Acadia University political scientist Erin Crandall said Jenica Atwin's win in Fredericton was momentous.

"It's a big deal for the Green Party to have a seat outside of British Columbia," said Crandall.
Lewis agreed.

"She will have … I would imagine, quite the voice in Ottawa," he said, noting Atwin makes up one-third of the entire Green caucus.

Gillies said it was less a vote against Liberal incumbent Matt DeCourcey than a vote in favour of focusing on climate change.

"That was overwhelmingly the number one issue among younger voters. And that's the largest demographic in the electorate right now."

But he also credited the candidate.

"Jenica Atwin won this riding because she's Jenica Atwin," said Gillies.

Her campaign drew support from all parts of the greater Fredericton community, he said particularly the four First Nations.

Crandall agreed it was an effective grassroots campaign.

"You can't underestimate door knocking and boots on the ground," said Crandall.

Higgs may create his own carbon tax in wake of federal Liberal win

Premier says election results show people voted for a carbon tax for consumers



Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Oct 22, 2019 3:42 PM AT



Premier Blaine Higgs said Tuesday he 'can't ignore the obvious,' following Monday night's federal election results. (CBC)


New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says Monday's federal election result means he'll look at how to comply with the Trudeau government's federal climate plan, including the requirement for a carbon tax for consumers.

Higgs signalled Tuesday morning that the Liberal victory, including a decisive win in the popular vote in New Brunswick, may be a turning point in the carbon-tax debate in this province.

"People voted for it, so we have to find a way in New Brunswick to make it work," he said.


That includes exploring a made-in-New Brunswick plan that would meet Ottawa's requirements for an escalating price on fossil fuels from now until 2022.

"I will," Higgs said. "I can't ignore the obvious here. The country has spoken."

Federal Liberal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna quickly thanked Higgs for his comments in a tweet.
"Looking forward to continuing to work with you and the people of New Brunswick on climate action," she wrote.

New Brunswick is one of four provinces that refused to come up with its own tax. In April, the Trudeau government imposed a federal carbon tax, known as the backstop, on those provinces.
Alberta has repealed its carbon tax and the federal backstop will kick in there Jan. 1.


The tax is 4.4 cents per litre this year and will rise to 11 cents per litre, the equivalent of $50 per tonne of greenhouse gases, in 2022.

Higgs said that some New Brunswickers may not have been aware of estimates that even higher carbon-tax rates will be needed in the future to meet Canada's targets under the Paris climate agreement.

37.6% of N.B. voters supported Liberals


But even so, he said he has to acknowledge the election result.

In Monday's election, 37.6 per cent of New Brunswick voters supported the federal Liberals. The NDP and the Greens, which also support carbon pricing, drew 9.4 and 17 per cent support, respectively. The Conservatives had 32.8 per cent of the vote in the province.

Six Liberal MPs were re-elected compared to three Conservatives. The province's first-ever Green MP was elected in Fredericton.

"People have voted for a carbon tax," Higgs said. "Even in New Brunswick, although we now have representatives from the Conservative side that will go to Ottawa, still there was a strong showing from Liberals and Greens."

Previous approach rejected


New Brunswick's previous Liberal government attempted to meet the federal standard by creating a carbon tax at gas pumps. But it also lowered the existing provincial gas tax by the same rate, meaning consumers did not see a net increase at the pumps.

Ottawa rejected that approach, and after he took power last fall, Higgs refused to come up with a replacement system for consumers. His government has proposed an emissions levy on large industry that the federal government has yet to approve or reject.

Higgs decided not to challenge the constitutionality of the federal backstop on consumers in court, though the province intervened in reference cases filed by Ontario and Saskatchewan.

Those two provinces lost when their top courts ruled the Trudeau plan is constitutional.

Will talk to Ontario, Sask. premiers


Higgs said he hasn't decided whether New Brunswick will intervene in appeals by Ontario and Saskatchewan of those rulings to the Supreme Court of Canada. He plans to talk soon to the premiers of those provinces.

"We do have to have that discussion, because where do we go next? Because in many ways Canadians have spoken on this issue."

In August, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said if the Liberals won the election, he might abandon the appeal.

"Once the people decide, I believe in democracy, I respect democracy, we move on," he said at the time.

But on Tuesday, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe took the opposite approach from Higgs, challenging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to bridge regional divisions by agreeing to "a new deal" with his province and Alberta, including the elimination of the carbon tax.
I think even Premier Higgs is starting to realize this isn't a winning issue for him.

- Wayne Long, Saint John-Rothesay Liberal MP
Newly re-elected Saint John-Rothesay Liberal MP Wayne Long said Tuesday that federal Conservatives miscalculated in trying to make the election a referendum on the carbon tax.

"I'm a progressive standing in an industrial riding. I wasn't shying away from the fact that we need to put a price on pollution. In fact, I openly embraced it and talk about it and said I supported it. I didn't duck it, and I think constituents in the riding responded."

Long accused Higgs of dragging his feet on dealing with Ottawa's requirements because he "wanted the federal [Liberal] MPs to have to wear that and own that in this election."

"Well, the election's over, there are six of us re-elected, and now it's time to put all the politics aside. Let's sit down and come up with a legitimate made-in-New Brunswick plan."

He said increasingly frequent extreme weather, including flooding in his constituency this spring, had shifted the debate on the issue.

And he attributed his win on Monday in part to young voters in Saint John who were angry that Conservative candidate Rodney Weston refused to attend two candidate debates devoted to climate change.

"I think even Premier Higgs is starting to realize this isn't a winning issue for him. It's not a winning issue for their party," Long said.

I recall seeing signs in NB that said "No Carbon Tax", "Stop Spraying" and "Save the Ferry". Often these signs were being held by Higgs' supporters. Where are those people now? Gagetown is still without a ferry (despite re-electing Ross Wetmore) and forest continue to receive spraying. And now, Higgs is caving to Trudeau. So why did we vote out Gallant?

On CBC last night the one post mortem I keep hearing was the Cons have a strong base but can't grow it. Higgs understands that that issue and tax, as much as I do 't like, must change if we are to get Liberals out of power the next election. Higgs is smart so i want to see somethig like Nova Scotia has done along the ways of cap and trade would make it easier on the consumer and make it work for industry. But NB Power must change their attitides and find a way to fix that power plant up north to something other than coal that dirtier than oil but cleaner than natural gas, cost after renos, cheaper than coal

N.S. Crown attorneys plan to walk off job to protest bill

Job action begins Wednesday as all but the most serious files are handed off to managers



Michael Gorman· CBC News· Posted: Oct 22, 2019 5:28 PM AT

The president of the Nova Scotia association of Crown attorneys is predicting chaos when up to 80 per cent of his colleagues walk off the job Wednesday to oppose legislation revoking their right to binding arbitration.

"There's going to be a lot of gaps, there's going to be a lot of coverage issues and, like it or not, there will be some casualties of this walkout," Perry Borden said during a news conference at Province House on Tuesday.

Borden said 81 per cent of the 90 Crowns who voted on Monday supported job action in the face of Bill 203, which replaces the Crowns' right to binding arbitration with the right to strike, but also designates them an essential service. In their last contract, the government extended the arbitration right for 30 years in exchange for Crowns accepting a lower wage offer.


"Last week the government changed the game, last week they made the playing field unfair," Borden said, standing in the foyer at Province House.

"None of us want to be here."

The government surprised Crowns with the legislation last week after the two sides could not agree on a contract.

Current salaries for Nova Scotia Crown attorneys range from $65,329.68 for someone with less than one year of relevant experience to between $145,825.16 and $149,149.78 for a senior Crown counsel with at least 18 years of relevant experience.

The Crowns want a 17 per cent wage increase over four years, which they say would bring them closer to the national average. The government is offering seven per cent over four years.

More importantly, the government has no interest in seeing the matter reach arbitration, where it can not control the outcome.


Rather than being in court, Borden said the majority of Crowns would be at Province House protesting on Wednesday, with Cape Breton Crowns holding a satellite protest on the island.

Premier 'confident' Bill 203 is legal


Borden said the Crowns have done their best to cover serious and significant files already before the courts, such as murders and sexual assaults. All other files have been given to managers throughout the province and it would be up to the government to determine how the holes are filled when courts open on Wednesday.

Last week, the legislature's law amendments committee heard from labour law and constitutional law experts, as well as the director of the province's public prosecution service, who spoke against the bill.

One by one, they argued Bill 203 is not compliant with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that Crowns' salaries could not be used to set a wage pattern for the rest of the public service and that the bill would create recruiting and retention problems.

Premier Stephen McNeil told reporters at Province House on Tuesday that he listened to those presentations with interest and agreed with none of them.

As he has previously, McNeil said the Crowns' ask is not affordable for the province, and he believes the public shares that view.

"There's many of my constituents who would be happy with a seven per cent [increase], which they're not getting," McNeil told reporters.

Despite being repeatedly asked if his government has a written legal opinion that Bill 203 is charter compliant, the premier would not give a direct answer, instead repeating that "we're very confident that our bill will stand up."

McNeil said "lots of people give advice to government" and they base legislation around that advice.

The premier predicted lawyers currently working for government departments and Legal Aid would seek similar raises if the Crowns get what they want, and said that's something the government cannot risk or afford. He said the province would look for "other ways to ensure that justice is delivered" during the strike.

But the fallout from Tuesday's announcement suggests that won't be easy.

A spokesperson for the province's public prosecution services said they are scrambling to find lawyers to cover court on Wednesday and they wouldn't be able to find people to run full prosecutions.

Chris Hansen said they would be putting matters over, for now.

The Nova Scotia branch of the Canadian Bar Association, meanwhile, called on the government to reverse course on Bill 203 and honour the deal it signed with the Crowns.

Tory Leader Tim Houston said the premier is trying to paint Crown attorneys as greedy public servants who only care about making more money.

"I think the Crowns are just feeling a little backed into the corner. They're doing important work on behalf of the province and it's unfair for the premier the way he tries to pick one soundbite and stick to it."

Houston said the premier is ignoring the caseloads of Crowns in Nova Scotia compared to the rest of Atlantic Canada and he's forced them into this situation by breaking his word.

NDP House leader Claudia Chender said the potential effect the walkout will have on the justice system is "terrifying."

"I think we've heard throughout the last several days about the role the Crown provides in our justice system," she said.

"I think it's going to be a sad day for justice and I think it that will reflect directly on this government, which has chosen to unilaterally breach a contract that has, by every expert opinion, has been done illegally."

In refusing to back down, the government is using "disingenuous and untrue" excuses about why it's pursuing the bill, she said.

Borden said Crowns have done their best to cover files that would be affected by the Jordan decision, a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that establishes a timeline in which a matter must be completed. But Borden said it's possible some cases might still be affected.

"The government ultimately will take responsibility for this," he said.

Lyle Howe squares off with lawyer Perry Borden at disciplinary hearing

Borden, who is black, says Howe portrayed him as the 'house n--ger' of the Public Prosecution Service




Blair Rhodes· CBC News· Posted: Oct 17, 2016 9:25 AM AT




Lyle Howe's disciplinary hearing is expected to run four days this week. (CBC)


The N-word landed with a resounding thud Monday at the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society disciplinary hearing for suspended Halifax defence lawyer Lyle Howe.

It came in a heated exchange between Howe and a witness, Crown prosecutor Perry Borden. Howe described Borden's presence in the Dartmouth prosecutors' office as being "so quiet he was almost nonexistent."

Borden, who is black, took exception to Howe's characterization.


Borden said Howe's comment made Borden appear to be the "house n--ger" of the Public Prosecution Service. Borden told the disciplinary hearing on Monday that he felt Howe was being disrespectful with his comment.

Howe became visibly upset during the exchange as he tried to pursue his line of questioning. Both panel chair Ron MacDonald and Howe's co-counsel Jeanne Sumbu intervened.

Hearing drags on


Howe's hearing before a barristers' society panel resumed Monday morning.

The society accuses Howe of professional misconduct and professional incompetence. A hearing into his conduct began late last year and has sat for several days — off and on — ever since.

The CBC's Blair Rhodes live blogged from the hearing



Most important and poignant testimony, says Howe


Borden had a prior court commitment in the afternoon, so the panel running the hearing agreed to adjourn further questioning of him until later this week.


Howe described Borden's comments as the most important and poignant testimony to come out of the hearing so far.

Howe said it speaks to his central theme — that he is the victim of systemic racism and is being singled out because he is black.

The hearing is scheduled to run for four days this week with additional sittings scheduled for November.

The three-member panel hearing the case against Howe has said it wants to conclude the hearing by the end of the year.

Crown tried to warn Howe

Following Borden's testimony, the panel heard from another Crown prosecutor, Alonzo Wright.

Wright said he first became aware of Howe when he attended an awards ceremony at Dalhousie University's law school. Howe was being recognized as an outstanding student.

Wright said he was asked to mentor Howe but the two could never arrange a time to meet.

Wright told the hearing that early in Howe's career, he and another Crown met with Howe to discuss concerns being expressed about Howe's practice. Wright said he was trying to warn Howe about the pitfalls of being a defence lawyer, including being over-extended.

Wright, who is black, said he has experienced racism in his life, dating back to his time in public school and extending into the practice of law. Wright said he prosecutes cases across the province and is frequently the only black man in the courtroom and often in the community.

The panel is scheduled to sit for three more days this week.

N.S. Court of Appeal reserves decision in disbarment case of Lyle Howe

Many questions from judges on five-member panel focused on penalties levied against Howe



Former Halifax defence lawyer Lyle Howe and lawyers for the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society face many questions as they deal with the society's decision to kick Howe out of the legal profession.
The questions come from the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal, which heard two days of arguments this week from Howe and the society.

Many of the questions from the judges on the five-member panel focused on the penalties levied against Howe.


A disciplinary panel of the society disbarred Howe after finding him guilty of professional misconduct and professional incompetence. The panel also imposed a cost penalty of $150,000.
Howe must pay that amount to the society before he can reapply to practise law. A society lawyer indicated during Thursday's hearing that Howe could pay in installments.
However, the judges questioned how Howe could come up with the money, given that he's not allowed to work in his chosen profession, and whether that represents a permanent impediment to him returning to the practice.

The judges asked whether the court had the authority to alter or rescind the award. They also asked whether, if they accepted the society's findings of guilt, they could impose a sentence on Howe less than disbarment.

Lawyers given deadline


The judges gave the lawyers until the end of this month to provide written answers to those and other questions.

In his arguments, Howe submitted cases of other lawyers in other jurisdictions who, he said, had committed similar or worse offences and yet faced less severe penalties.

Howe's central argument was that the decision to disbar him violated his equality rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms because he was singled out for closer scrutiny and faced harsher penalties than other lawyers.

He argued that the only reason for the different treatment was that he is black.

Comparison to Viola Desmond


He even went so far as to compare himself to famed civil rights crusader Viola Desmond, who was arrested after she refused to leave the whites-only section of a Nova Scotia theatre in 1947.

The lawyer for the barristers' society disputed Howe's assertions. Marjorie Hickey said Howe wasn't treated differently because of his race, but because he refused to follow the rules of his profession.
Hickey also said there was a big difference between Desmond and Howe in that she demonstrated integrity with the stand she took.

There is no indication when the court will rule on Howe's case but the judges will not have all the information they requested for another three weeks.

>>>>> 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,

>>>> [2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a

>>>>
>>>> [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

>>>>
>>>> [14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his

>>>>
>>>> [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

>>>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the

>>>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>>>
>>>> [17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed

>>>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has

>>>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the

>>>> (emphasis added)
>>>>
>>>> [19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter

>>>> [20]           Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.

>>>>
>>>> [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

>>>> 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

Frustrated justice minister talks about 'dismantling' district education councils

Andrea Anderson-Mason says she had her wrist slapped for trying to intervene in council busing decision


Hadeel Ibrahim· CBC News· Posted: Oct 28, 2019 5:00 AM AT




Andrea Anderson-Mason, minister of justice and attorney general, says she’s heard from a disitrict education council member who expressed 'disappointment in how our government has dealt with education.' (Radio-Canada)

A New Brunswick cabinet minister says her comments on social media about dismantling district education councils were prompted in part by her attempts to intervene in local education issues.

Justice Minister Andrea Anderson-Mason wrote in a post on her official MLA Facebook page on Oct. 10 that she's heard from an education council member who expressed "disappointment in how our government has dealt with education."

The MLA for Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West went on to say that it takes time to get things done, "but we are ready for change."
 
"One thing we are proposing is to dismantle our DECs so we can have local control, not top-down control."


Rob Fowler, chair of the Anglophone South district education council, says Andrea Anderson-Mason's comment about council is 'disturbing.' (Hadeel Ibrahim/CBC)

There was no reference to dismantling the seven district councils — four anglophone and three francophone — in the green paper on education reforms released by Education Minister Dominic Cardy earlier this month.

The 23-page discussion paper floats various ideas, including exploring the best way to "structure" education support offices and organizations.

"This will include a review of the mandate and structure of the department, school districts and the DECs."
In an interview with CBC News, Anderson-Mason said she sees no difference between what the green paper had to say and what she describes as "dismantling."

"Those are synonyms in my books," said Anderson-Mason, who practised law in St. George before being elected to the legislature as a Progressive Conservative last fall.



The current district education councils are made up of elected officials who are voted in during municipal elections.

The councils are in charge of allocating the budget, commissioning studies and making recommendations to the province.

In her Facebook post, Anderson-Mason said in her "short year" as MLA, the district council has "slapped my wrist to say I cannot intervene on any educational concerns of my residents … I think we need change … do you?"

Last September, Anderson-Mason sent a letter to the Anglophone South district education council about transporting children from their schools to a certain daycare, which the council had previously said wasn't possible because of financial limitations.
 



I had a District Education Council member message me about their disappointment in how our government has dealt with education. I agree....sort of. It takes a bit of time to get things done but we are ready for change. One thing we are proposing is to dismantle our DECs so we can have local control, not top down control. I know in my short year the District has slapped my wrist to say I can not intervene on any educational concerns of my residents...i think we need change...do you?

The Minister of Education has issued a Green Paper seeking, looking for, begging for help from NB (especially from teachers). So now is the time! Reach out and connect. We must reform how we do things and give teachers the opportunity to do what they have been called to do, teach. And we must protect and nurture our greatest asset, our children, our future.

"I was told this is political interference and that I could not be engaged in this conversation," she told CBC.

This is why, she said, having "local control," would help MLAs, parents and teachers better address their issues.

Rob Fowler, chair of the Anglophone South council, said if an MLA wants to raise an issue, then "fill your boots," but it was the fact that she emailed the council as attorney general and justice minister that raised questions.

"If she'd written to us requesting help as an MLA, it's one thing," he said. "As the attorney general, that's a different kettle of fish. Because she's using the authority of the office of the attorney general to demand changes of us, and that's not correct."

Fowler said MLAs can act as advocates for the community but as an attorney general, "she doesn't have a say in how we do things."

'Disturbing' comment


Fowler said Anderson-Mason's social media post is "disturbing."

"If it's straight dismantling, there's nothing put in place, I would find that highly disturbing in the sense that we're removing any kind of local voice from education matters," he said.

Recently two district education councils — Anglophone South and Anglophone East — have pushed back against the provincial government by rejecting their budgets, citing a shortfall in funding for educational assistants.

Anglophone South still hasn't approved its budget for the current school year. Anglophone East approved its budget earlier this month, after rejecting it twice.

Fowler said he doesn't believe Anderson-Mason's comments were in response to these protests.
"I think this has been in the works long before the budget ever became an issue," he said.

Been there, done that?


If the government does decide to restructure school governance, it won't be for the first time.
Since the early 1990s, successive provincial governments have reduced and redefined school districts. Seven years ago, 14 districts were combined to create the current seven.

Dennis Cochrane, a former educator and onetime deputy minister of education in Nova Scotia, says reviewing a system is always a good idea, but giving more power to the local level by removing the education councils is easier said than done.

"Everybody wants to give more local autonomy, and it's very difficult to do because you obviously can't give responsibility for creating the budget or allocating the budget [to schools]," he said.

A charter barrier


Retired University of Moncton law professor and language rights lawyer Michel Doucet said it would be a Charter of Rights and Freedoms violation to outright abolish all school boards or district education councils.

Doucet said there are multiple Supreme Court decisions that say that francophone minorities outside Quebec should be able to govern their own schools. That's because the charter says they must be able to strengthen and sustain their language and culture.
That doesn't mean provinces can't restructure the education councils, he said. But whatever they do has to comply with Section 23 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

No decision made


Asked for comment, Cardy, the education minister, sent a written statement. He said educators working in schools, directly with students, are in the best position to understand the needs of their classrooms and communities.

He said that's why the power "should remain" at the local level whenever possible "to ensure they are supported."

The province has not made any decisions regarding the structure of district education councils, he said.

As I sit in the hospital on November 19th without a Medicare Card I will take great interest in seeing if Kris Austin remains true to his word and supports Higgy for another six months as he reboots the circus with an new speech from the throne. Trust that I am looking forward to arguing the lawyers Carrier, Poirier, Logan, Eidt, Anderson-Mason and Flemming about my right to Health Care, to no false imprisonment, language rights, abortion, the whereabouts of my old Harley and Yankee wiretap tapes of the mob in its saddlebag among other things.

Anderson-Mason may act confused as Cardy yaps about education, Steeves talks of their prowess with money and Gauvin protects the francophones from Flemming's plans while Higgy battles unions and does the double talk on carbon tax and demands upon Saint John, to balance their books etc. However they are fooling nobody when Holland brags of protecting forests after they are mowed down. One thing is for certain Cardy's silly bill will be swept aside as I laugh at all the nonsense at the circus because I made certain that Vickers knows why methinks he doesn't want Higgy's job N'esy Pas?

Teachers have the most paid holidays and best working hours as well as the best pension plan. No one wants to even suggest that the rampant problems in education in New Brunswick may be partly due to teaching standards. We don't need more public opinion on this matter ... we need to hear from the teachers.

This article covers a lot of politicking but what about the quality of the teaching in the classroom. Why is NB's literacy rate so bad. I think something needs to be addressed in the teaching methods. What is happening in the classrooms.

Reply to @Linda Christie Hazlett:
The mandate that schools had was to "provide an education" and they did. The mandate now is: inclusion, grade promotion not based on merit, and bilingualism.
It is not the teachers, nor is it the administration, it is the politicians that have thrown a monkey wrench into the works.

Police use body cameras and cameras in vehicles . The informations gained are usually extremely useful .

Same reasoning should apply to teachers and classrooms. Especially to those classrooms with discipline and misbehaviour issues.

They could be very useful and provide evidence for the rest of use to see the realities of behaviours in the classroom and to weed out the bad apples so their deficiencies can be exposed and come to be addressed for corrective actions and interventions.

Dismantle is a bad choice for a word. I believe in looking at NB's education system the first thing we have to realize is that we have a 50% plus adult illiteracy rate. The education system needs to address this first and foremost. Not saying other issues should be ignored but they have to be put in their proper perspective. One of the issues in improving literacy is giving the system the proper tools to address it, and then, just as importantly, having the means within the education system to enforce standards. That is not likely done at the local level. 


Terry Tibbs
Reply to @Jim Johnston:
Our schools are no longer "places of learning", they have become "noisy", "busy" day care centers, where the squeaky wheel gets all the grease (resources) and the average student is virtually ignored to fend for themselves.
Ask me how I know. My eldest boy graduated grade 12 without the ability to read, his only crime was that of being lazy, and he had the ability to sit quietly and observe the gong show going on around him.
The political will has to exist to fix this, by doing away with inclusion, and promotion without merit.
BTW, the wife and I fixed that boy and today he is quite successful, it allowed us to catch his 2 younger siblings and "fix" them before the education system could leave them high and dry.

Reply to @Terry Tibbs: Not the teachers' fault. What do you think happens when students are coming in by the hundreds that don't speak either English or French?

Gradeless schools would ease tension over classroom composition, minister says

Cardy answers questions about green paper proposals for improving education system

Education Minister Dominic Cardy is asking the public for suggestions on how to improve New Brunswick's education system.

The minister took questions and addressed concerns live from the Information Morning Fredericton studio Monday morning. The call for public comments came after the release of a green paper on education reforms earlier this month.

"Education really touches on everyone in the province," Cardy said.



The green paper titled "Succeeding at Home," was created as a way to propose ideas and "trigger discussion."

Questions dealt with a range of issues, including keeping inclusion as a part of the system, improving French programs, and providing more training for educational assistants experiencing violence in the classroom.

Eliminating grade levels


But several times during the question-and-answer session, the possibility of eliminating grade levels arose.

Cardy said such a change, proposed in the green paper, would reduce tension around the composition of classrooms, which now can include students of varying academic abilities.

He said that inside schools that aren't organized by grades, students would learn differently and would be able to work on basic social skills and at their own level, which might include university-level work.

"Let's make sure to meet the children where they are, at their point of readiness," he said. "So there's no discrimination or stigma at being at different points."



Although some students require an educational assistant, Cardy said eliminating grade levels would also reduce the number of educational assistants required for each classroom.
"Suddenly the kids who are experiencing developmental delays, they're being met where they're at, and they're engaged. … Similarly, the kids who are excelling, they should be free to be able to race ahead as far as they possibly can."

He said the goal would be to allow teachers to have more time to focus on the areas of greater need and help students move ahead instead of worrying about an "obsessively routinized curriculum document."

Restructuring department


During the live broadcast, Cardy also said there needs to be a broader conversation about how his department fits in with other departments across the province.

He said his department has to work alongside other departments when it comes to topics like vaccinations and children living in poverty.

"Departments will defend their turf and have rules that allow them to work internally but not allow them to co-operate," he said.

There was no reference in the green paper to dismantling the seven district education councils, but Cardy suggested Monday that he wants to look at different models, including a more community-based alternative to the councils.
Although he isn't committed to one model in particular, Cardy said his bias is toward "local control," where communities can have more control over what's happening in their schools.
The current district education councils are made up of elected officials who are voted in during municipal elections.

The councils are in charge of allocating the budget, commissioning studies and making recommendations to the province.

The green paper also suggests more use of artificial intelligence in the classroom, more partnerships with the private sector to boost education in the trades, and the introduction of second-language programming in daycares.

The minister has said he wants New Brunswick students to be better trained in critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving.

House of Commons offers defeated MPs up to $15K for career help, tuition

Dozens of MPs were not re-elected in Monday's election

When Liberal Mark Holland lost his seat in 2011, he couldn't get out of bed for days.

"It was absolutely devastating for me ... Because it was my hometown, it felt personal. It felt like a personal rejection," said the Ajax MP, who went on to be re-elected in 2015 and again on Monday.

"It's like being in a car going 100 kilometres an hour and hitting a brick wall and everything stops."


He credits the House of Commons's transition program with helping him move on from his defeat.

The program offers counselling and up to $15,000 to help defeated MPs transition from the House of Commons back to the civilian world.

It's a program the nearly 50 incumbents who lost on Monday can access as they take stock of their defeats.

The taxpayer-funded package can be used to cover the cost of career transition services, job training or post-secondary education and some travel expenses, according to the members' allowances and services manual.

Holland was first elected at the municipal level at age 23. He said he leaned on the transition program to dust off his resumé and get some retraining before eventually landing a job at the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

"Having a service that helps folks make the transition back to a normal life — helps them get their resumé in shape, makes sure that their mental health is in a strong position and that they have the support they need to get reintegrated — is incredibly important," he said.

For former MPs seeking career advice, the House of Commons offers the services of a third-party firm that provides one-on-one career coaching. MPs can use another career counselling firm as long as it's cleared in advance.


In order to qualify for the transition fund, career transition programs have be started within 12 months of the general election. The fund also requires that ex-MPs submit certificates for career transition programs.

Defeated incumbents can also use the program's cash to go back to school in Canada.

The MP handbook stipulates that, in order to qualify for transition program funding, ex-MPs must prove the training or education they're seeking is in a field related to the work they intend to pursue.

The institution also must be required by contract to provide on-the-job instruction, tutoring, training or supervision.

The manual lists teaching, law, accounting, engineering and the trades as examples of skills that could be subsidized.

As with the career transition programs, training programs have to start within 12 months of the end of the general election to qualify for funding, and proof of completion is required.
The money also can be used for travel. Members who are not re-elected are entitled to up to four economy-class round trips within Canada if they can prove they're travelling to and from job interviews, education sessions or career transition sessions, or if they need to travel to Ottawa to sell their homes.

Transition program funds can also be used to pay for sundry services such as long-distance phone calls within Canada, stationery and office supplies, but the program requires receipts.

MPs often leave private-sector gigs


Holland says skeptics who balk at the program's price tag need to understand the sacrifice most MPs make by leaving promising careers to run for office.

"I think that nobody understands the pressures of somebody who steps forward and offers themselves to public service," he said.

"Regardless of the partisan stripe, I have enormous regard for people who put themselves in that position and I think that it makes only good sense to make sure that they transition back to public life."

The 48 incumbents who weren't re-elected on Monday are:
  • Nick Whalen (Liberal)
  • Matt DeCourcey (Liberal)
  • Alaina Lockhart (Liberal)
  • Jane Philpott (Independent)
  • Maxime Bernier (People's Party)
  • Karen Ludwig  (Liberal)

  • Doug Eyolfson (Liberal)
  • MaryAnn Mihychuk (Liberal)
  • Robert-Falcon Ouellette (Liberal)
  • Georgina Jolibois (NDP)

  • Wayne Stetski (NDP)
  • Jati Sidhu (Liberal)
  • Dan Ruimy (Liberal)
  • Gordie Hogg (Liberal)
  • Joe Peschisolido (Liberal)
MPs who do not seek re-election are also entitled to up to $15,000 in transition support to help re-establish themselves after leaving politics.

The money comes out of the House of Commons administration central budget.

As reported by the Hill Times, back in April the Board of Internal Economy expanded counselling services for MPs and terminated employees, extending their period of availability from six months to a full year.

David Adams Richards concerned about national unity in wake of election

Writer and senator says divisive election results speak to a fracturing country


CBC News· Posted: Oct 24, 2019 12:59 PM AT



Author and senator David Adams Richards says the alienation of Western Canada poses a threat to national unity. (Doubleday Canada)


New Brunswick author and senator David Adams Richards says Canada's national unity is one of his biggest concerns coming out of Monday's election.

Richards said divisive politics seem to be fracturing the country, and the federal election results, which saw the Liberals shut out of Alberta and Saskatchewan, are an example.

"I think there are two very divergent trains of thought about our infrastructure and our economy," Richards said. "And I think that we have to realize that and try to make some headway in coming together."

He said he thinks the concerns of premiers like Conservative Jason Kenney of Alberta are genuine and hopes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau can pull together a "meeting of minds somewhere," whether that is in cabinet or elsewhere.

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs also expressed concern about national unity and the alienation of Western provinces in an interview with CBC's As it Happens on Wednesday.

Higgs has been the first premier since the election to come out and say he will look at creating his own carbon tax because of the elections results, which gave Trudeau and the Liberals enough seats to form a minority government.
Higgs, a Progressive Conservative, had opposed the carbon-tax approach to responding to climate change, so the federal government imposed one on New Brunswick.
 
"Here in New Brunswick we've seen the electorate support seven out of 10 seats for parties that are supporting a carbon tax," Higgs said.

He said the resurgence of the Bloc Québécois in Quebec is an example of a divergent political landscape.

"The biggest challenge is the alienation from one end of the country to the other," Higgs said.

"I know in Atlantic Canada we've often just said, 'Well, you know, just throw more money at Atlantic Canada and they'll just be quiet and carry on.' And I've said I want to build an economy here. And [I'm] trying to do that through this transition into a greener economy."

Richards echoed the premier's sentiments regarding the Western provinces.

"I think the West feels really alienated," said Richards, who was appointed to the Senate in 2017 and sits as an Independent.

"I know that society is changing, I know oil is not always going to be the prime product that it once was, but we still have a place for it in our society. And I think Alberta and Saskatchewan have to be listened to as much as the other regions."

Richards said concerns about climate change and the economy need to be addressed together to bring Canada together.

"We love our country. We can, we must continue to continue to try, and I think  there's enough of us to want to do that."

Failure to enact electoral reform is a key factor in exacerbating divisions. That was the biggest failure of all by our Prime Minister. With electoral reform Tories would not have been shut out of representation in Toronto. With electoral reform Liberals would not have been shut out of SK and AB. Some folks seem to want to exacerbate divisions to serve their own ends: Mr Kenny says the Prime Minister campaigned against the interests of his province which is kind of a poisonous way of portraying a policy difference on the carbon tax where the guy you are attacking is taking lots of heat for his support of pipelines. I think people need to try to do better all around.

'Conservation is a priority,' minister tells skeptics of land protection plan

Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development to double amount of protected land by 2021



Shane Fowler· CBC News· Posted: Oct 30, 2019 5:00 AM AT

Conservation groups and environmentalists are applauding the provincial government's plan to more than double the amount of protected land in New Brunswick, but the initiative has its skeptics.

New Brunswick currently preserves around 4.6 per cent of its land, but plans to increase that to 10 per cent by the end of next year.

Despite recent calls for this exact policy, critics were caught off guard by the announcement, made Monday, and have been vocal about waiting for the other shoe to drop — specifically in the form of future concessions to major industrial forestry companies.


"Are they going to cut these protected areas like the Caledonia Gorge and North Pole Stream area?" asked one poster on a hunters group on Facebook. "Hard to imagine anything left worth protecting."
"Good luck it'll never happen haha," wrote another group member.

Mike Holland, minister of natural resources and energy development, said there's no deal with industry to offset the conservation plan with any other kind of incentive.

"This is a conservation announcement," he said. "It was meant to enhance, improve, and increase the conservation footprint of the province of New Brunswick."

Holland said he's been working since the announcement to convince detractors that the conservation move is genuine.

But he said he understands the skepticism, especially after the fallout from the heavily critized forestry deal a previous Progressive Conservative government worked out with industry five years ago.


That deal, under former premier David Alward, gave some of the biggest forestry companies like J.D. Irving Ltd. — which lobbied hard for the change — access to 20 per cent more Crown land for logging, an increase of 660,000 cubic metres. Premier Blaine Higgs said earlier this year that he would be open to changing the deal.

"When you talk about the 2014 forestry plan and how it was weighted toward industry, there was no conservation piece in that," Holland said.

"So, in an effort to find balance and find collaboration between both industry and conservation, it was very crucial that we pay attention to that."

Because of the earlier criticism, Holland said he will decide what land will be conserved, with input from conservation groups and First Nations, as well as industry players.

Holland promised the land that will be conserved will not simply be areas that are of little interest to industry.

Although he wouldn't disclose which areas are being considered, he said the "size and scope of some are significant, in a variety of geographical areas," and in many cases "connected to each other."

Holland said he expects the protected lands will be designated as such for generations to come and that some areas will include clearcuts that will be able to mature into old-growth forests.

Conservation response


What could be considered more surprising than the conservation announcement itself are the figures Holland has been able to rally to champion the initiative.

Critics who are normally quick to decry many department announcements for pandering to industry are instead featured in online government ads expressing support for this move.

That includes Lois Corbett, executive director of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick, who said she's cautiously optimistic about the plan.

"When you start at the back of the pack, it's actually not that hard to put aside some more protected area," she said.

Corbett suggested that a barrage of weather events over the last few years may have motivated the government to protect more lands.

She listed tropical storm Arthur, ice storms in the northern part of the province, and record high floods over the last two years that brought millions in damage, including a flood at the provincial legislature, as possible reasons for the government's about-face.


Protected areas such as Mount Carleton Provincial Park may expand in the new conservation plan, although government has yet to state exactly which lands will be protected. (Shane Fowler/CBC)

"What you have to have is the political will and the people behind you to get it done," said Corbett.
And while she said she was genuinely impressed with the conservation increase, she'll be waiting to see how much resolve the department has going forward.

"The proof in that will be in the minister's next step, which will hopefully be in December, when he goes about changing and modernizing the Crown [Lands and] Forests Act," said Corbett.

"And that's where we'll see some impact on our large industry."

How unfortunate that we have reached the point where a minister releases what is essentially a good news story and our reaction is so, how are they going to stick it to us for this? This is neither a partisan nor jurisdictional issue, but running rampant in the land. It seems to me that this government is trying to change that by doing what they say they will. It will take a long time to break the classical conditioning of days gone by, but I encourage all leaders of all stripes to try it. If Minister Holland is being sincere, and I believe he is, then well done sir!

Reply to @Stephen Robertson: Methinks if Minister Holland were doing his job he would be showing more concern about NB Power trying to stick it to us again with a new debt of about a 100 million bucks for smart meters so that they can go about billing us even more N'esy Pas?

New Brunswick plans to double amount of protected natural areas before 2021

Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society says it’s an unprecedented and welcome move

The New Brunswick government will more than double the amount of conserved land and freshwater within the next 14 months, the province announced Monday.

About 4.6 per cent of the province, or 3,386 square kilometres, is already protected, but the government aims to reach 10 per cent by the end of 2020.

"The government understands the importance of conserving natural areas as part of an overall approach to meeting forest and land management objectives," Mike Holland, minister for the newly renamed Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development, said in a release.


"This includes adapting to climate change, protecting biodiversity, protecting wetlands and watersheds, and protecting species at risk."

Roberta Clowater, executive director for the New Brunswick chapter of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, said she was "thrilled" by the announcement, describing it as unprecedented.

"The commitment to protect at least 10 per cent of New Brunswick for nature, in law, will help conserve water, wildlife and the natural areas that support all of our communities," Clowater told Shift New Brunswick.

A pathway to change


She said it's a "first step" that brings the province more in line with its Canadian counterparts. But Clowater hopes the conservation will continue.

A report by the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society released in July called on the federal government to protect or restore 30 per cent of land and inland waters in the country by 2030, or nearly triple what's currently protected.
New Brunswick's new plan is part of a nationwide bid to raise the percentage of protected natural areas from 11.8 per cent, as of spring 2019, to 17 per cent by the end of next year.


It's a joint plan among all levels of government, the private sector, Indigenous peoples, landowners and non-governmental organizations.

The province said it will receive $9.3 million from the federal Canada Nature Fund to achieve its goal.

Clowater said Monday's announcement is the result of a number of factors aligning at the right time.
She said there's political leadership in Ottawa allocating funds to take on these kinds of projects, and she credited Holland and New Brunswick Environment Minister Jeff Carr for taking action on this file.

Conversations with Indigenous groups have also improved, she said, to a point where all sides can work in "the spirit of peace and friendship" on issues like conservation.

Province says funding in place to protect more land

The province announced plans to double its protected land and freshwater areas, and work more closely with conservation and Indigenous groups. Roberta Clowater with the New Brunswick chapter of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society said the collaboration is an unprecedented and welcome move. 8:33 


She added that amid climate change activism, there's growing public support to protect more areas.

What will be protected?


It's unclear exactly which areas will be considered for conservation, but Clowater said the Restigouche River area in northwestern New Brunswick is likely to be on the list.

"It's a critical area for Atlantic salmon," among other species, she said.

"It's also very important for the whole of northern New Brunswick's tourism and lots of tourism jobs depend upon it."
In July, Clowater said New Brunswick will suffer a "nature emergency" if it doesn't conserve more land.

Clowater said coastal areas with beaches, dunes, cliffs and wetlands should also be considered.
Holland said his department is engaging First Nations, conservation groups as well as natural resource industries to chart a course to meet the target.

The department said more details will become available once agreements with local partners are finalized and new conservation areas are identified.

Former Moncton newspaper editor loses wrongful dismissal suit against Brunswick News

Court finds Al Hogan's actions 'deceptive,' orders him to pay costs



Tori Weldon· CBC News· Posted: Nov 01, 2019 4:06 PM AT




Al Hogan was fired almost five years ago as managing editor of the Moncton Times & Transcript. (CBC)

A former Brunswick News editor fired for his part in a scandal at the Moncton Times & Transcript has lost his wrongful dismissal suit against his former employer and been ordered to pay costs.

Al Hogan was fired as managing editor of the Times & Transcript in 2015 after he allegedly lied about his role in trying to change government documents related to a trip to Larry's Gulch, the government-owned fishing camp on the Restigouche River. 

Hogan sought $500,000 in his wrongful dismissal suit against Brunswick News Inc., which owns all of New Brunswick's English-language daily newspapers, including the Times & Transcript.


In the court decision, issued on Oct. 29, Justice Denise LeBlanc wrote: "In my view, the deceptive nature of Mr. Hogan's conduct during an investigation and while in a senior management role where he was entrusted with and was the steward of the MT&T's reputation left BNI with no option but to terminate Mr. Hogan's employment."
BNI argued Hogan tried to cover up a 2013 trip his assistant managing editor Murray Guy took to the government's fishing lodge after accepting an invitation from NB Liquor.

Hogan's legal team countered that BNI's investigation into the matter was "either intentionally inept or negligently so."

Dismissal Warranted


During the trial this summer, the court heard that when a Brunswick News reporter discovered Guy's name on the lodge's guest list, obtained through a right-to-information request, Guy at first lied to Hogan and said he hadn't been there.

In an email exchange at the time, Hogan asked him why the list didn't have his real name, Thomas Guy, which wouldn't have been recognizable to the public.

"Better get Darell to change it before it gets released," Hogan told him, referring to Darell Fowlie, a senior adviser to then-premier David Alward.


Hogan deleted those references from an email he forwarded to upper management when it conducted an internal investigation of the Murray Guy matter, the court heard.

LeBlanc wrote: "The email alteration in and of itself constitutes serious misconduct by Mr. Hogan."


After his dismissal, Hogan sued Brunswick News Inc., which owns all of New Brunswick's English-language daily newspapers, including the Moncton paper. (CBC)

She added that the summary dismissal of Hogan was justified and a "proportional response to the misconduct."

Despite Hogan's claims that BNI's internal investigation was inept, LeBlanc wrote, "the evidence does not support counsel's claim."
The judge ordered Hogan to pay costs in the amount of $10,375 to Brunswick News.

Hogan was 56 when he was fired in February 2015. He had asked the court to award two years' salary, which was $112,375 a year, plus the annual RRSP contribution he would have received had he continued with the company.

Reply to @JJ Carrier: I was not fired. I was laid off as a result of a province-wide restructuring of the news bureaus which eliminated not only my job but also that of reporters in roughly half a dozen locations throughout New Brunswick.

In that restructuring, I was offered a job in Saint John at the Telegraph-Journal but had to turn it down due for a number of reasons, including the fact that my house was then in middle of major renovations and not in a condition to be readily sold.

Ex-Brunswick News editor seeks $500K for alleged wrongful dismissal

Lawyers argue investigation into allegations of altered email was 'intentionally inept or negligently so'



CBC News· Posted: Jul 17, 2019 5:00 PM AT




Former Times & Transcript managing editor Al Hogan is suing Brunswick News for wrongful dismissal. (CBC)

A former Brunswick News editor who was fired after he allegedly lied about his role in trying to change government documents from the Larry's Gulch fishing lodge is seeking about $500,000 in damages, his wrongful dismissal trial heard Wednesday.

"It takes a large whack to wake up a wealthy and powerful defendant," Al Hogan's lawyer Amelie Surette told the court during closing arguments Wednesday, citing from case law.

Brunswick News Inc. (BNI) owns all of New Brunswick's major English daily newspapers, including Moncton's Times & Transcript, where Hogan served as managing editor before his dismissal in 2015.


Hogan is now suing the company for wrongful dismissal.

BNI alleges Hogan tried to cover up a 2013 trip his assistant managing editor Murray Guy took to the government's fishing lodge on invitation from NB Liquor.

Hogan's legal team contends BNI's investigation into the matter was "either intentionally inept or negligently so."

Lawyer Scott Ellsworth argued Hogan was never asked if he modified an email about Guy's trip and if so, why.

"To suggest that Mr. Hogan was somehow motivated by a sinister desire to hide that information … is just not conceivable," he said.


Larry's Gulch lodge on the Restigouche River was the government's fishing lodge. (CBC)

Earlier in the trial, the court heard that when a Brunswick News reporter discovered Guy's name on the lodge's guest list obtained through a right-to-information request, Guy lied to Hogan and said he hadn't been there.


At the time, Hogan asked him why the list didn't have his real name, Thomas Guy, that wouldn't be recognizable to the public. Hogan told him, "better get Darell to change it before it gets released," referring to Darell Fowlie, a senior adviser to then-premier David Alward.

Hogan deleted both of those lines from the email when he forwarded it to upper management as part of an internal investigation, the court heard.

Hogan testified that at that point he thought Murray had gone to the lodge but not as a representative of the Times & Transcript and felt the list should be corrected, noted Ellsworth.
Mr. Hogan has suffered more than hurt feelings. He suffered public humiliation.
- Amelie Surrette, lawyer for Al Hogan
"That's clearly what those emails are addressing," he argued.

"Under no circumstance could one imagine how that type of email would be written to your peer and then 30 minutes later you would lie to your superior."

Hogan, who was 55 years old at the time and earning $112,375 a year, has been unable to find another job for the past four years.

"Mr. Hogan has suffered more than hurt feelings. He suffered public humiliation," said Surette.
He is seeking two years' salary, punitive and aggravated damages.

Email was altered in 'nefarious way'


BNI lawyer Catherine Lahey argued Hogan "wholly and completely" breached all expectations for trustworthiness.

As BNI vice-president Jamie Irving testified Tuesday, this was a public relations crisis, she said.
Hogan had been with BNI for 18 years and in journalism for nearly 40 years. He held the most senior role at the Moncton newspaper and BNI needed to be able to rely on his judgment, she said.

His suggestion of unfairness is "absurd," said Lahey. It's difficult to understand any circumstance an employee would think it's acceptable to fabricate an email, she said.

"Let's call it what it is. [The email] was altered. And it was altered in a very deliberate and frankly, nefarious way."

Court of Queen's Bench Justice Denise LeBlanc questioned why Hogan was never directly asked if he altered the email and if so, why.

Lahey said the email itself was put in front of him and he was asked, "is this what you sent?" The notion he didn't understand what was being conveyed is completely unreasonable, she said.
LeBlanc has reserved decision until an unspecified date.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd

By Erin Hatfield

"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."

The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate.

The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.

Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.

Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders.

Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."

Reply to @David R. Amos: Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his favourite possessions—motorcycles.

The Unconventional Candidate

David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….

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.

One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements.

When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy.

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."

The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life.

"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife."

So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle.

"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer."

Reply to @David R. Amos: For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America.

Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself.

He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."

Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.

"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It’s alright to ***** in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"

Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.

"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."

And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.

"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."

Reply to @David R. Amos: "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.

Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.

"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."

Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name.

"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell.’"

New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board IN THE MATTER OF an application by New Brunswick Power 7 Corporation for approval of the schedules of the rates for the fiscal year commencing April 1, 2018. held at the Delta Hotel, Saint John, New Brunswick, on February 9th 2018.

Page 601
VICE-CHAIRMAN: I was a bit surprised when I heard this morning and yesterday that you are entering into a contract at the end of February and is that with respect to the purchase of the smart meters?
MS. CLARK: That's correct.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: So how can you enter into a contract without the firm approval of this Board, if we are going to approve or not the AMI? How prudent is that?
MS. CLARK: So we are at the end stages of the contract in terms of just the final terms and conditions, but we have been very clear that we -- with the vendor -- and they recognize that, because we also have Nova Scotia Power, who is part of our consortium, who also needs Board approval. So should we not get -- this is conditional on EUB approval.
So should we not get EUB approval, the contract would not proceed.

Reply to @David R. Amos: Transcript continued

VICE-CHAIRMAN: Now there was discussion yesterday, I think it was with Mr. Stoll regarding time of use and time based pricing, and so I went through the evidence this morning, and in your main evidence, and I think one of the Page 602 objective of having the AMI going forward to a time of use price structure -- rate structure. So am I understanding that correctly MS. CLARK: That is correct. And in the evidence, we did answer an interrogatory on that and you will see that AMI is an enabler for time varying rates in the Energy Smart NB Plan. And we did have time varying rates included in our investment rationale. We took it out, because we couldn't -- we couldn't pinpoint without more detail as to what those time varying rates may be and the benefit of those, so we took them out of the investment rationale at this point in time, but certainly it's something that we are looking at in the future.


David R. Amos

Reply to @David R. Amos: Transcript continued

VICE-CHAIRMAN: So the fundamental question here is that the Board should heard -- or hear Matter 357 before approving the AMI? So if we don't approve time of use, that basically what will happen with your AMI, I mean it's -- if we don't approve the time of use, which we are going to hear next year, how can we proceed in approving the AMI before we look at the rate structure?
MS. CLARK: As we have talked about in our investment rationale, there are a number of other benefits to both the customer and to the utility over and above time varying rates that we believe are important for the Page 603 utility and for the movement forward of our Energy Smart New Brunswick plan. Many of those benefits accrue to the customer. And many of those benefits accrue to the utility and ultimately the customer. So even if we were not to move in the direction of time varying rates, we believe that the investment rationale supports the AMI installation based on the other investment -- or based on the other benefits that it provides.

Newly elected Conservative vows to work on urban-rural divide

Richard Bragdon was elected in the Tobique-Mactaquac riding during Monday night's federal election


Elizabeth Fraser· CBC News· Posted: Oct 22, 2019 12:49 PM AT


Conservative Richard Bragdon won the riding of Tobique-Mactaquac on Monday night. (Facebook)

A newly elected New Brunswick Conservative is hoping to make rural issues a higher priority in Ottawa.

Richard Bragdon flipped the riding of Tobique-Mactaquac for the Conservatives in the federal election Monday night after it went Liberal for a single term.

Liberal T.J. Harvey won the riding in 2015 against Bragdon but did not seek re-election.
"You could sense there was a real appetite for change," Bragdon said Tuesday, the day after Conservatives improved their showing in New Brunswick but could only pull off a second-place finish in the country as a whole.
As he knocked on thousands of doors, the real estate agent said, he noticed a "disconnect" between decisions being made in Ottawa and people living in rural New Brunswick.

People on Parliament Hill aren't even hearing the concerns of people in rural areas, he said.

Conservatives take back Tobique-Mactaquac

https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1628614723679 

Richard Bragdon became the member of parliament in the riding of Tobique-Mactaquac, with 50.4% of the vote. He says one big issue he heard at the door was the challenge of affordability for seniors. 8:34

"I think that rural-urban divide, some of those issues and challenges kept coming up at the door."
Bragdon wants the rest of Canada to understand the role small towns play in the agriculture and resource sectors, developing, producing and shipping "the nation's goods."

"Yet our region still gets overlooked," he said. "I think they're looking for a strong voice on their behalf."

In his riding, he encountered a lot of concern about the rising cost of living. 

"The prices of everything kept going up. And yet, their incomes weren't going up at the same rate to be able to keep pace."

 
Richard Bragdon
Thank you to the people of Tobique-Mactaquac for your support. We will have to see what we are looking at for a government but i am so thankful for my family and my team. Thank you. 



Seniors need to be able to stay in their own homes as long as possible, he said, but rising heating costs and the carbon tax Ottawa imposed on New Brunswick are prohibiting that.

"They feel like, 'Wow, we've got less and less money left over at the end of every month," he said.
 "That challenge is very real."

"The Conservatives took back three of the New Brunswick ridings they lost lost four years ago.

The members from these ridings will be sitting in opposition, but Bragdon said he plans to work with other party members to meet the needs of his constituents.

Methinks Bragdon's victory was no surprise to anyone any more than my loss to Rob Moore in Fundy Royal. Williamson's win in New Brunswick Southwest and of course Jacky Boy Harris' on the Rock were nobrainers as well. However although there were a lot of interesting close contests for a seat in the next circus I bet I was was not alone in being very surprised that the Conservatives did not win back a lot more seats throughout the Maritimes. Clearly most Maritimers do not trust Bragdon's Yankee boss whom I call Harper 2.0 N'esy Pas?


Fred Sanford
Congratulations Richard! 


Daniel Rawlins
Their first term in office MPs try to act in the best interests of those who elected them but after four years most come to simply accept the party line and do the bidding of the 'Party Whip' who's sole job is to keep MPs in step with the party line. I hope Bragdon's ideals are still in tact at the end of his first four years which would make him the exception rather than the rule...

Trudeau plays defence in Maritimes, Scheer fights for seats in Quebec

THE CANADIAN PRESS | posted Tuesday, Oct 15th, 2019 




Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is barnstorming New Brunswick and Nova Scotia on Tuesday, while his Conservative rival Andrew Scheer does the same in Quebec.

The difference is that Trudeau is spending his time in ridings the Liberal party is hoping to keep in the federal election on Oct. 21, and Scheer is hitting areas the Conservatives are hoping to pick up.
Trudeau’s Liberals won all the seats in Atlantic Canada in 2015, so any campaigning he does there is defensive.

He’s in Fredericton and Riverview, N.B., before moving on to Cumberland-Colchester, Masstown, New Glasgow and Halifax, N.S., where he’ll end the day with a rally.

Scheer’s day begins in Quebec City, where he’ll lay out another element of his plan for his first 100 days in office if the Conservatives form a government, and then he’ll visit Trois-Rivieres and the Montreal suburb of La Prairie — two seats held by Liberals and one by a New Democrat.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, whose party has been on the rise in recent polls, is campaigning in Toronto, and the Green party’s Elizabeth May is talking about the Greens’ tax plans in Kamloops, B.C.

In New Brunswick, being leader of the struggling NDP is a fourth job for 22-year-old

What happened with the defection of 14 prominent members on Tuesday wasn’t much of an aberration; it was the acceleration of a long trend in the province



Mackenzie Thomason, the 22-year-old paperboy who is the interim leader of the New Brunswick NDP.Facebook

Before he goes to bed, six nights a week, between 5 and 7 p.m., Mackenzie Thomason sets two alarm clocks in the bedroom of his small apartment in uptown Fredericton. The first, the conventional, old-fashioned kind, goes off with a standard, grating beep at 12:55 a.m. The second, on his iPhone, starts chiming five minutes later. Thomason, who turned 22 at the end of July and lives alone, is terrified of oversleeping. He’s terrified of missing work, of showing up late, of not getting everything done.

By 2:30 a.m., every Monday through Saturday, Thomason is usually sitting in the driver’s seat of his silver Ford Escape at the yard outside the old Daily Gleaner building on Prospect Street. Depending on the day, he’ll pick up somewhere between 250 and 350 newspapers there. He’ll spend the next four hours driving out to New Maryland and back, dropping papers on doorsteps and in mailboxes before continuing on to one of his three other jobs.

Thomason has bright, rosy cheeks. In pictures, he’s always smiling. He looks even younger than he actually is. Still, it’s rare he gets recognized when he’s out delivering. Part of that is the hour. Not many customers are awake before 6 a.m. But part of it is the incongruity of it all, too. People see what they expect to see. And few expect to see the interim leader of the New Brunswick NDP tossing their Telegraph-Journal across the grass several hours before dawn.

On Tuesday, 14 prominent members of the NDP in New Brunswick publicly abandoned the party to join the federal Greens. Nationally, the story was played as a sign of federal leader Jagmeet Singh’s organizational weakness in the Maritimes. And it was that, to an extent. But the New Brunswick NDP has its own peculiar history and flaws, too. Organizers, ex-candidates, and even one former leader have been fleeing the party for years. So what happened Tuesday wasn’t much of an aberration; it was the acceleration of a long trend, one that helps explain how a 22-year-old newspaper delivery man ended up running the party in his spare time.

“What we’re seeing right now is the party coming apart at the seams,” said Mario Levesque, an associate professor of political science at Mount Allison University. “They can’t get along right now.”

New Brunswick, more so than almost any other province, has always been a two-party state. “There’s not a lot of folks in New Brunswick who are genetic New Democrats the way you get Liberals and Tories who pass on party affiliation between generations,” said Dominic Cardy, who led the provincial NDP from 2011 to 2017.

For years, the NDP had one provincial seat in New Brunswick — under popular former leader Elizabeth Weir. Since her retirement from politics, in 2005, the party has had none at all.
 

In the post-Weir era, the NDP has seesawed from far-left activism to pragmatic centrism and back again, said Levesque. Cardy, an avowed centrist, steered the party toward the middle in the 2014 campaign. He brought the NDP’s share of the popular vote up to 13% — an all-time high — but failed to win a single seat. Afterward, party organizers pushed him out.

Cardy said union activists in the party refused to recognize a core reality of the province: most New Brunswickers are politically in the middle. He said the division in the party boiled down to those, like himself, who believed Canadian society and government were strong and could be improved and those “who kept on looking for the revolution: ‘What’s the next big thing we can fight about to say everything is terrible.’”

When Cardy realized he was never going to win that fight, he left the party. He’s now the education minister in a provincial Progressive Conservative government led by Premier Blaine Higgs.

Cardy sees parallels between the struggles of the NDP in New Brunswick — and of the weakness of the federal party — and the decline of social democratic parties around the world. Frank Graves, the president of Ekos Research, a public opinion firm, agrees. Self-identified working-class voters and voters without university degrees, he said, once the base of pro-union parties, now overwhelmingly identify as conservatives. Without them, pro-union parties have no natural constituency any more.

Green parties, meanwhile, have moved in to siphon off environment-first voters. In 2018, New Brunswick’s two-party dominance began to show cracks for the first time. But the NDP was again left out in the cold. Under leader Jennifer McKenzie, the party failed to win any seats and fell to just 5% of the popular vote. The Greens and the populist People’s Alliance won three seats each.

McKenzie, like Cardy before her, was pushed out. At a meeting of the party’s provincial council in March, Thomason, a New Brunswick native who spent his teens in Fort McMurray, Alta., put his name forward as interim leader. He won, he said, by a vote of nine to four, with two abstentions. The party tried to elect a permanent leader this summer, but the only candidate failed the vetting process. Thomason said they hope to try again, with more candidates, next year.
 
When he first spoke to the National Post two weeks ago, Thomason was already working two jobs in addition to his duties with the NDP. After he finished his paper route, he usually delivered packages for several hours before driving into the party office, where he’d work from about 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Since then, though, he’s picked up another gig.

Thomason called in Thursday from his fourth job, selling furniture at Leon’s four days a week. “I’m still getting up at 1 o’clock in the morning, still going to bed between five and seven o’clock in the evening,” he said. “Personal time? Not a whole bunch,” he continued. “But I really enjoy working… I don’t feel like a need a whole bunch of free time.”

Thomason said he wished the 14 members who left his party Tuesday well. “They’re amazing people, and I do hope they find themselves in a positive spot,” he said.
Levesque, the political scientist, said the NDP’s only path to relevance in New Brunswick was to compete for the centre. But Thomason disagrees. The Greens, he believe, have already staked out the centre-left. “I would like us to occupy the left.”

“In the past we’ve had policies and platforms that kind of got lost in the shuffle,” he said. “But going forward we’re going to make sure we’re different from everybody else.”
