Higgs's snap election call could mean step back for women, panellists say

In addition to traditional barriers to running, COVID-19 is now a potential obstacle

CBC News· Posted: Aug 25, 2020 3:43 PM AT |


Only 11 seats in the New Brunswick Legislature were held by women when the 47-seat house was dissolved last week for the Sept 14 election. (Mike Heenan/CBC)

Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs's decision to call a snap election during a pandemic is unlikely to further the cause of getting more women to run for office, women on a CBC News election panel fear.

"I really am concerned that we're going to go backwards this time round in terms of the number of women who were actually elected because of the nature of this election campaign," Joanna Everitt, a political scientist at the University of New Brunswick Saint John, said Tuesday on Information Morning Moncton.

Tammy Rampersaud, a Riverview town councillor, said she too is concerned having a campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic will drive women away from running. The four-week campaign will overlap with the start of school.

Rampersaud said women generally think about the effect their political careers would have on their families since they are still often the primary caregivers.

"A lot of people are worried about sending their children to daycare, of sending their children to school and what effects that will have, and they're considering homeschooling as well," said Rampersaud.

"I think that's a big deterrent for a lot of women out there."

Less representation

The panellists comments' come after Women for 50 per cent, a group pushing for gender parity in politics, asked the leaders of five political parties in the province to have women make up half their candidates for the Sept. 14 election.

At dissolution, only 11 of the 47 seats in the legislature were held by women: five by the Liberals, four by the Progressive Conservatives, and one each by the Green Party and People's Alliance of New Brunswick.

Paryse Suddith, a lawyer in Moncton, said the province needs to make running for public office easier and more attractive for women.



"There needs to be more initiatives designed to interest women in politics and to support candidates ... to basically make it easier and more equal … so that we actually can take away some of those sticks in the wheels and some of those barriers," said Suddith.

Joanna Everitt, a political science professor, is afraid this election will take things backwards in terms of women's representation in the legislature. (UNB)

Even making it in the parties' best interest to nominate more women doesn't always work.
Everitt cited legislation that provides more funding to parties for the number of votes that female candidates receive than male ones do.

The goal was to provide a financial incentive for parties to nominate candidates in winnable ridings, but this time around the parties probably aren't thinking about that.

"Because of those quick-called elections none of that was probably thought about as the candidates were being selected by the parties, [they] just don't have time," said Everitt.

Blame parties, not public

Everitt said research shows that it isn't that New Brunswickers are hesitant about voting for women, or any other underrepresented group, but that parties believe they are.

Information Morning - Moncton
Could this election lead to fewer women in the legislature?

Joanna Everitt is a political science professor at the University of New Brunswick at Saint John. Tammy Ramersaud is councilor-at-large for the town of Riverview. Paryse Suddith is a Moncton lawyer and social justice advocate. 18:08

"We think voters are discriminating against women, against minorities, against LGBTQ candidates, but my research shows that's not the case," said Everitt.

"Voters actually prefer to have female candidates and they think highly of them … I do think that we're going to see not only fewer women who are running, but fewer people of colour, fewer LGBTQ candidates in this election, because the choices are being more centralized and held by the party elite, as opposed to people being able to be nominated for this role."

Thank you for taking the time to call me today. Unfortunately I was
out and about and had to move on at that point. Thank you, however,
for reaching out again with this email which I will look over.

Can you please tell me what you were hoping I might know something

>>>> ORDER

>>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>>>> December 14, 2015)
>>>>
>>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by>>> 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

>>>> 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

>>>> 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

>>>> 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

>>>
>>> I.                    Introduction
>>>
>>> [1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr.
> Amos)
>>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11

>>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary

>>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>>
>>> [2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of
> a
>>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>>
>>>
>>> [3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>>>>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>>
>>>
>>> [4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19,
> 2016.
>>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>>> cross-appeal.
>>>
>>>
>>> II.                 Preliminary Matter
>>>
>>> [5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two
> of
>>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he
> believed
>>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>>
>>> [6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
>>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed
> in
>>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>>> c. F-7:
>>>
>>>
>>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
>>> Appeal.
>>> […]
>>>
>>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.

>>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of

>>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice

>>>
>>> [11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion

>>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this

>>>
>>> [12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that

>>>
>>>
>>> [13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is

>>>
>>> [17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed

>>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a

>>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The
> Ontario
>>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the

>>> Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
>>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>>> 27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
>>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>>
>>>
>>> 28        The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
>>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
>>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial

>>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>>
>>>
>>> 29        It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
>>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and

>>> 30        That brings me then to consider the particular

>>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on

>>> 31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of

>>>
>>>
>>> 32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly

>>> [21]           In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4

>>> III.               Issue
>>>
>>> [26]           The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
>>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the

>>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.

>>> IV.              Analysis
>>>
>>> A.                 Standard of Review
>>>
>>> [27]           Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the

>>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,

>>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a

>>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
>>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding

>>>
>>> B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>>
>>> [29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
>>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>>
>>> 17.       Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff

>>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of

>>> (…)
>>>
>>>
>>> 21.       The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant

>>>
>>>
>>> [30]           The Judge determined that he could not strike the

>>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321

>>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called

> bald,
>>> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse

>>>
>>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
>>> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
>>> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
>>> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
>>> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
>>> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of

>>> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>>> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
>>>
>>> [34]           Applying the Housen standard of review to the
>>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
>>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>>>
>>> [35]           The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>>> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
>>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
>>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
>>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the R>> engaged in
>>> deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her

>>> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
>>> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against

>>> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of

>>>
>>> [36]           In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare

> When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA

>
> More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
> scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
> CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many

>
> To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
> March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
> and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
> Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
> University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
> relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
> the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this

> file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
> took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
> concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
> appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
> consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
> report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with

> All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
> Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding

>
> With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and

> CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
> For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting

> proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that

> totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
> taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
> approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60

> SUSSEX • The rate in which families are leaving the province and the
> pain that causes the economy needs to be a primary focus in the
> Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins riding this election, said Progressive
> Conservative candidate Bruce Northrup.
>
> And to him, closing the door to the development of the province’s
> natural resources is the main contributor to the problem of
> out-migration.
>
> Differing political positions were represented during a meet the
> candidates event in the riding Wednesday night.
>
> “Why are they going west?” Northrup asked, answering his own question.
> “To work in oil fields, to work in natural gas.”
>
> Those who move away for work are often lost forever as they settle
> down and make their family there, he added. Northrup has been
> staunchly opposed to the moratorium on hydraulic fracturing Brian
> Gallant’s Liberal put in place following the last provincial election.
>
> “We have to develop our natural gas and natural resources to keep them
> here. They’re exiting by the hundreds,” Northrup said.
>
> Liberal candidate Ian Smyth, however, sees it differently.
>
> He believes there’s lots of work, but not the right “attitudes.”
>
> He talked about recent job interviews he was conducting on his farm
> where he was offering a $13 an hour job. The person he was supposed to
> interview didn’t bother to show up or call, and that happened five
> times, Smyth said.
>
> “There’s not a shortage of work. There’s all kinds of work,” he said,
> “but attitudes have to change.”
>
> People have the right to leave the province for better work
> opportunities, he added.
>
> “It’s all about choices – it’s a free country,” said the father of
> four young children.
>
> As someone who left his community of St. Martins where he was fire
> chief for 22 years to go to Alberta, Peoples Alliance candidate
> Bedford said, he knows how difficult it is to uproot. The low wages he
> was earning picking rocks, however wasn’t near enough. He sent six
> resumes to Alberta companies, and he received calls for work from all
> six of them.
>
> He lived there with his family for 10 years.
>
> “People are payments away from losing their homes,” Bedford said.
> “We’re fooling ourselves when we say how great we are. Look around
> your neighbourhood, look around this room.”
>
> Dollar figures on what the sweet spot should be for an adequate
> provincial minimum wage fluctuated among parties when the question
> came up.
>
> Independent candidate David Amos, who ran federally the last time
> around, says people are not earning what they need to survive. He
> believes $18 an hour is a fair paycheque.
>
> “Why can’t the working man earn what the old man gets?” he said,
> referring to his old age pension. He said often the working person
> still has a family to raise at home.
>
> But an appropriate minimum wage is not only about another couple bucks
> for the worker,  Bedford pointed out.
>
> “It’s a fine balancing act,” the Sussex businessman said. A $15
> minimum wage, he said, pushes closer to $35 an hour for the employer
> who has to contribute more for employment insurance and Canada Pension
> Plan for the worker.
>
>  A small crowd of voters attended the Sussex and District Chamber of
> Commerce event to meet the candidates of Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins on
> Wednesday night in Sussex Corner.
> Photo: Tammy Scott-Wallace/Telegraph-Journal
> That could mean fewer businesses, and in turn fewer jobs.
>
> “You have to look at what the full impact will be,” Bedford said.
>
> Minimum wage in New Brunswick is currently $11.25 an hour, which is
> similar to the other Maritime provinces.
>
> But the Liberals are committing as part of their election platform to
> increasing it to $14 an hour gradually, Smyth said.
>
> “People need $14 to survive,” he said.
>
> The Green party wants to do even better than that, said candidate Fred
> Harrison, by raising the amount $1 a year until it reaches $15.25.
>
> Northrup said the Tories are not committing to an increase.
>
> Amos, Bedford and Northrup all took aim at the controversial carbon
> tax the Liberals have committed to.
>
> “There’s no disputing climate change,” Amos said. “Mother Nature is
> going to do what she wants to do. New taxation isn’t going to fix it.”
>
> Bedford also believes it should be eliminated, as should taxes on used
> vehicles. There should also be a major drop in small business tax, he
> said.
>
> The  Progressive Conservative platform has a sharp focus on reducing
> taxes, Northrup said.
>
> “My favourite three words in our platform is ‘no more taxes’,” he
> said. “We want to put more money in your pockets.
>
> “At the end of the day we’re totally, totally taxed out.”
>
> It was a mild, small crowd of about 25 people that gathered to meet
> the candidates hosted by the Sussex and District Chamber of Commerce
> in Sussex Corner.
>
> The Chamber held a similar event in early August, before the writ was
> dropped.
>
> Wednesday evening’s event took place at the same time a televised
> debate among the provincial party leaders was happening.
>
> Fracking, which is often a hot topic in the Sussex region with the
> business community supporting it, received varying opinions during the
> panel discussion.
>
> Amos is against fracking.
>
> “If there’s nothing in it for all of us, why bother?” he said,
> referring to the companies that have more to benefit than New
> Brunswickers with its inadequate royalty structure.
>
> But Northup believes there’s a lot of benefit for New Brunswickers to
> use its own natural resources, from salt mined in Picadilly, to
> natural gas.
>
> In his opinion, too much is being brought into the province from outside.
>
> “We need to develop our own resources to benefit ourselves,” he said.
> People in the riding need to work, especially since the potash mine in
> the riding closed in 2016, taking hundreds of jobs with it.
>
> Bedford cannot reasonably expect there not to be hiccups along the way
> with any new developments, but feels “the benefits are going to
> outweigh the risks.”
>
> He too believes “we need to depend on ourselves. We need to get people
> working.”
>
> Harrison said potential risks need to be fully understood, but
> generally speaking he doesn’t oppose natural resource development.
>
> “I would still want to err on the side of the environment and
> encourage and develop more natural resources that are sustainable,”
> the artist said.

>
> “I never voted in my life,” David Amos, the province’s only

>
> “Understand the game, never played, never voted.”

>
> Incumbent Rob Moore, who is seeking re-election for the Conservatives,
> faced off with Amos at the polls before in 2004. At that time Moore
> took the riding by a landslide.
>
> Amos told the crowd he offers as an independent because there is no
> democracy with towing a party line, as he feels the other candidates

>
> “You know how they stand and you must say what they say,” Amos said of
> party lines. “I speak for the people. You’re my boss. I would make a
> deal with the devil if it behooves what the people want.”
>
> When someone in the crowd referred to a member of parliament as a

>
> “The parliamentarian is your servant,” he said. “He works for you –
> he’s not your leader. If he re-offers, check his work.”
>
> The issue of representation came up when Patricia McKay asked from the
> audience whether parties would consider a better way for the electoral

>
> Simply put, said Moore, every riding chooses their representative
> which he sees as a fair way to choose a government.
>
> “The person with the most votes goes to Ottawa,” he said. The party

>
> Amos said the system isn’t about to change.
>
> “Someone like Elizabeth May would have to be prime minister to change

>
> Alaina Lockhart believes there could be a new way of creating

> ensuring the best representation of all people.
>
> “This would be the last first-past-the-post election system,” she
> said. “We believe we can do better.”
>
> Green party candidate Stephanie Coburn said her party believes there
> needs to be democratic renewal, which allows for a system where the
> interests of each riding can be spoken through their MP without
> recourse. As it is, she said, the party whip tells members how they
> need to vote on issues.
>
> “And we’re very interested in proportional representation,” Coburn
> said, which would reflect all of the voters who elect them in
> proportion to their number instead of the winner-take-all system in

>
> During the debate Moore went under fire by a member of the audience
> who asked why, after five opportunities to speak, he never once
> mentioned his leader Stephen Harper’s name.
>
> “I’m running to be member of parliament for this area,” Moore said.

>
> He said he respects his leader and feels he has lead the country

>
> He said he won’t, however, “ride on somebody’s coat tails” as he seeks

>
> “Each of us here have to get elected – it’s our name on the ballot,”

>
> Lockhart said she is proud to use her leader Justin Trudeau’s name.
>
> “I’m standing on my own two feet to be a representative of this area,”

Forestry group prepares plan to save Acadian forest

Group holds a workshop on saving the Acadian forest from climate change

Nathalie Sturgeon· CBC News· Posted: Mar 06, 2019 5:26 PM AT


Community Forests International is hoping to help preserve the Acadian forest, which grows in Atlantic Canada and some New England states, from the damaging effects of climate change. (CBC)

New Brunswick-based Community Forest International is trying to adapt forests worldwide to the effects of climate change — including forests right here in New Brunswick.

Megan de Graaf, manager of the Canada Forest Program and a forest ecologist with the group, said climate change will have a major effect on the Acadian forest, which grows throughout New Brunswick.

"What we haven't really known yet is what we can do about it in terms of forest managers to adapt our forest to be more resilient to climate change," she said in an interview with Information Morning Saint John.

The Acadian forest spans the Atlantic provinces and some of the New England states. It is not found anywhere else in the world, according to de Graaf.
The forest combines cold-loving northern boreal species, such as white spruce, black spruce and grey birch, and warm-loving species, such as white pine, red oak and yellow birch.

"We generally know that climate change means that conditions overall will become more warm and wet in this region," she said.

Next steps 

The group held a workshop this week to talk about possible solutions members have come up with to manage the forests. It was called Adapting Silviculture for Changing Climate.

Silviculture is the practice of managing forests for a particular goal —  the most common is timber production, but in this case it's mitigating climate change.

De Graaf said the organization has created a helpful guide that directs a forest manager through a series of questions about the forest they're in and leads them to a decision about treatment that would increase the forest's resilience during climate change.

The group is now working to find techniques and harvesting methods to reduce high-risk species, mainly the cold-loving species, and maintain low-risk species in the forest that may thrive better as the effects of climate change worsen.

She said the group is also working with woodlot owners and the people who work in the forest every day to get a good idea of what is happening.

"We've had a great response from our partners," he said. "We've been hearing from woodlot owners pretty consistently over the years that they are hungry for a solution."

The group received funding from the New Brunswick Environmental Trust Fund in partnership with the Federation of Woodlot Owners in New Brunswick to continue workshops, in-field training and webinars about their efforts over the next three years.

Community Forest International is a charity that works in East Africa and Eastern Canada. It is based in Sackville and establishes community forests, promoting sustainable forestry techniques and initiating environmental education.

Keep the Empire and their Irving Spruce out of the forests. That would help

Love the effort.... but it's a joke here in nb. There is one player making the calls in nb forests. People need to get out and see for themselves what's happening, they will be shocked. I spend alot of time in the woods and I can tell you the game plan here is clear, till, plant, spray and repeat. Oh ya and have a government funded propaganda dept telling people everything is fine, what a joke. As another writer said, take a pic of your favorite spot, it wont be there long

Mr. David Amos 
 
 Dear Mr. Amos: 
 
This will acknowledge receipt of a copy of your e-mail of December 29, 2006 to Corporal Warren McBeath of the RCMP. Because of the nature of the allegations made in your message, 
 
I have taken the measure of forwarding a copy to Assistant Commissioner Steve Graham of the RCMP °J" Division in Fredericton. 
 
Sincerely, 
Honourable Michael B. Murphy

Dear Mr. Amos, 
 
Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns. 
 
 As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done. 
 
As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment policing in Petitcodiac, NB. 
 
 It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors. 
 
Sincerely, Warren McBeath,

John Hamm a man of great integrity resigned as a Premier of Nova Scotia. We have unscrupulous Bernard Lord who is still Premier. There is something wrong with us NBers to tolerate this man as our Premier
David R. Amossaid...
Here is the real reason Hamm quit it is at the very bottom of this particular blog. This email is also why the dudes in Fredericton are so nervous these days. Simply put I'm back. I can only wonder how long this Blog will remain before Chucky Leblanc deletes it in order to cover up the public corruption he secretly supports.

I had to respond to this. Brian Gaudet should have read my last email before bouncing it back to me with his insults. I was already gone. At least this Frenchman, sounds more like a proper Maritimer. Yet if he was going to spout off to me he should have been man enough to say it front of the rest of you too. Let us all see if he has truly Billy Gates blocking me after trying to pick a fight with me. Yahoo will tell the tale on that. That said, I do admire that he defends his wife's name and is willing to fight about it even if he does not understand the issues. That is honourable but dumb. I was confused that the email address said two mech so I suspect that he may be a mechanic just like me and not any sort of lawyer or newsman either. I like that as well.
It seems he has been raised on the four F's just like me. Only thing is I ain't hiding behind an electronic mask like he said. If he had bothered to read I had even inserted my phone number. I will be coming to Sackville very soon but by then your protests will likely be over and I would be met with the indifference that I was faced with last year. So I will bother you all no more even though I will be forwarding and blogging this email in many other places. It is the same methods that the locked out people employed to bring CBC to the table. they have no right to put down my actions against them. I do not wish to speak to the CBC or the employees about a lawsuit I am filing against the Crown because of their actions against me. That would be kinda dumb even for a Maritimer don't you think? I would rather have spoken to pissed off people CBC had locked out of work. It made far more sense to me.
I have many friends in the Sackville area. Perhaps Frenchy should ask around about me to some mechanics he may know to see if most folks who know me well think me to be a liar. He should not rely on CBC to find out the truth about me. To offset any confrontations from people he did not know, Frenchy should have told his wife not to use his email address. If he did not want to be bothered by people she and her other CBC buddies had ignored last year during the last federal election he should have told me out of the gate that he was not his wife. She could have gotten her own hotmail account like my eleven year old in Amherst just did. Instead she used her husband's email to tell the world on the internet that she was actively protesting being out of work? She was soliticiting our support for her plight but in the next electronic breath her husband proves that they care about nobody else? CBC and all of its reporters are the bullshitters in this matter not me. They are self centered greedy bastards also.
CBC does have a mandate to give all people running for a seat in Parliament equal time not just the people the reporters want to win. That is the law and their mandate as a Crown Corp. In case you are reading this Brian Gaudet talk tough all you wish. I don't scare easy because I am too dumb to know fear. Ask the Secret Service who tried to take me away to Cuba over two years ago or the jailers who threw me in the hole last year because I was pretty pissed off if I am a chickenshit or not. Because I display no fear people label me as crazy in order to make themselves feel better about their own cowardice. I have walked the walk for far too long to be frightened by anyone now. I live each day as my last. Only integrity surprises me now. It is a rare thing to find combined with age and power.
If you don't believe me or think I am harrassing you in any way why not call the RCMP or sue me French?. Bring along this email to prove how I have offended you. I will love to argue the Crown about it in court. I will bring along what I served upon the CBC in Saint John while I was running for Parliament last year. It should make for an interesting argument that CBC will not report. Their lawyers have not answered me yet but many others have and know tha CBC got my material too. It appears that i must sue to get an answer as to why the CBC ignored its mandate.
Frenchy I would prefer to meet your lawyer face to face in court in a civil lawsuit rather than duke it out on the street with you and inspire another criminal matter. Besides I have too much to lose even if I won such a senseless thing in court or in the street. You are another ordinary asshole like me. There is no need to battle with you. I am getting too old for such nonsense now but I will certainly defend myself from anyone. If you wish to pursue the matter be forewarned that I don't fight fair anymore. If perchance I lose I am very big on getting even. My battles are never over until that happens. What I teach my son also holds true for me. I tell him to never back down from anyone because it is too expensivee to one's own pride and you will have to run from bullies your whole life. In truth a brawl proves nothing at all except how dumb we can be. Nevertheless like hockey fighting can be a great sport sometimes. Confused? Me too. what do you teach your son Frenchy?
Like you Frenchy I prefer face to face confrontations but only in front of many witnesses these days so that nobody can accuse me of saying or doing anything wrong. If you wish to fight, call the cops first and announce your intentions then all that I ask of you is that you throw the first swing so that my actions will be in defence. Is that OK with you Frenchy??????
You are right about one thing though. Nobody cares. However it is not stupid of me to piss people off. It is merely one of those things I do that nobody seems to appreciate. It works like a charm to get others to prove to me that they are assholes. The big difference between an asshole like me and an asshole like you is that I care about what happens to others. You don't. If you disagree why not help another Maritimer by the name of Byron Prior. He needs all the help he can get. I don't. You don't even have to Google him. Read the portion of his his web site that was at the bottom of the second email I sent to you today. If you have any heart in you at all pick up the phone and call him to see if he is for real for yourself. I did the best I could to help him with his litigation against Billy Matthews and all his Newfy buddies while your wife's buddy Ian Hannamansing who is from Sackville only called Byron a liar while he was doing his big special in Newfoundland about justice last year.
If my memory of what Byron said about the show that night is correct, your wife's fellow CBC workers carefully edited Byron from any of their tapes shown on TV while the Attorney General Tommy Marshall's son sat right by his side and made it on TV. In my opinion the CBC dudes in Newfoundland should all be fired ASAP for that reason alone. That fact has nothing to do with me and my concerns whatsoever. All Canadians were denied the opportunity to hear what Byron Prior had to say about how justice is being served in the Maritimes. It should make no difference at all whether or not Hannamansing thought of Byron a lair. We all had the right to hear what he had to say after CBC had invited the public they work for to speak on TV. How else can we decide the truth about anything if we do not hear from all sides? This is a Democracy isn't it is free speech a myth on public TV? CBC does not have the right to to be judge and jury simply because they have the ability to edit tapes.
Get it Frenchy???????????
Here is my phone number again Frenchy 506 434 1379 if you wish to ask me any questions. I will not bother to look up yours. I do not care about you think anymore if you don't wish to speak man to man. I will do as you requested and merely leave you all alone just like I said in the last email I ever intended to send to any of the CBC crowd. Now that they are comfortably back at work editing the truth for Paul Martin's benefit not ours, I know it would be fruitless to approach them anymore.
Before you give me a call Frenchy, perhaps you should review email that you bounced back to me. For your education here is my face as well and an article about me in a local paper then ask yourself why the CBC reporters ignored an interesting little circus.
I ain't hiding and I ain't a lair. I am just another Maritime asshole just like you Frenchy. You should understand me as being a simple, sincere and serious asshole even if you do not believe that I am a man with some pretty serious beefs against the corrupt justice system and the CBC that helps it in its malice towards us all. It is late and my rambling rant is over. As I wrote this I kept remmbering my encounters with the Frenchy from the far side of my hometown of Dorchester last year. His name is Charles LeBlanc. Man that bastard is full of hot air. I had to get this off my chest. I will sleep better with you dismissed from my mind too. Good luck with your own conscience from now on. Say Hey to Chucky Leblanc for me will ya> Like you he is blocking my emails after sending me a flood of them last year. I will lay odds your wife knows of him. The Maritimes ain't that big a place and he is quite a bragger.

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.

The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.

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."

Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.

The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens."

The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.

Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded.

As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote.

Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his favourite possessions—motorcycles.

McKnight/KCR

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."

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 bitch 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."

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.’"

Hey

To put it simply in answer to your dumb request Mr. Sharpe. My answer is HELL NO. That is a nice as I can put it. I just called Katie Nicholson and introduced myself. I will it leave you to wonder whom I will call next. Your clue is that you sent them greetings as a Locked-Out brother in sunny St. Johns.

To elaborate, I must say that I definitely will not go away. Look how you people act since you have been locked out of your jobs. You behave far worse tha I. In fact I may be coming to Newfoundland very soon to copy the material in the dockets of Newfoundland Supreme Court in the Billy Matthews versus Byron Prior matter as it pertains to me me. I need hard copy before I sue the CBC and the Crown. My question right now is hey Bobby Baby why don't I sue you too? Maybe I will come around and watch your people do their song and dance for their job. Perhaps you should try meeting me toe to toe and looking me in the eye if you want to meet a simple sincere and very serious man and then dare me to. I will be real easy to pick out. I am the hairy bastard in the Kilt once worn by a good friend of mine Ol Tom. He is one of the last of the Ladies from Hell. I wear it with his blessings. too many of his friends fought and died many years ago so that shit like this should not happen in our own nativeland. Even the Yankee bastard I call Deputy dog has met Ol Tom long before I dated the Yankee's sister. You bear the same first name as Deputy Dog Bobby Baby and you just forwarded all them your dumb little email that jerked this mangey old dog's chain bigtime. Need I say that my wife did not like receiving your response? She has warned me not to send out her email address anymore. Like her I do not listen real good sometimes but I did accomadate her on her birthday at least.

Bobby Baby if you want someone's shoulder to cry on give the lady Liza Frulla a call. She is a former sister of yours correct? I think she may have some job security issues when there is finally a federal election called. The sooner the better for me and the NDP. Frulla did not answer me so I must remain a man of my word and pass this email on as I promised her I would. Quite honestly I did not expect her to answer me. Everybody knows that she does whatever Paul Martin and the warroom dudes within PCO/PMO offices tell her to do. I needed the proof of contact thats all because I was banking on the fact the warroom will tell her to ignore me. I was just playing her like a fiddlewhile fishing for response from yo sos like you and hopefully an ehtical person or two. Paul Dugas who likes to play the fiddle in the town where I was born should certainly get my joke. On the one year anniversary of Ashcroft visiting Canada and Wayne Easter's office talking to me, he joined a forum to yap about violins. I found the coincidence strangely comical. If Paul Dugas or anyone within the CBC had elected to report my doings on that day instead of talking about fiddlin etc, we would all be better off right now. The CBC recived received my material July 16th 2002, the very same day Argeo P. Cellucci did. That was long before the War on Iraq had started. Have your conscience dwell on that sad fact for a minute or two before you answer a lot of ghosts in your Heaven or Hell someday. As you can see I study people a bit and I already have a pretty good idea who will be naughty and who may be nice. I learned long ago cops, lawyers, bankers, priests and newsmen never are. So I attack them out of the gate but only in an ethical fashion byway of the written word and carefully worded phone calls. Newsmen should know that the word is mightier than the sword. You make your living by it you should die by it as well. Please fall on it ASAP or use it to hang the rest of the corrupt bastards. How is that for a challenge?

Furthermore I like to do everything in threes just like they purportly do in Heaven and Hell. Now that Suzanne Gaudet, Paul Dugas from the town where I was born and you the Newfy Bobby Baby have responded to me you have sealed the fate of the Crown Corp of CBC for me. I need no more responses from the likes of you. Why spoil my own fun? I will likely not tell you anymore about what I am up to after I send the next email and print both of them as evidence to use in Federal Court. I will sue the Minister who oversees your conduct and none of you can ever say that you did not know the truth of my concerns before I did. The CRTC can go to Hell for all I care. Starting with their crooked little Minister many of the public servants under her supervision need to be replaced if the public trust in your profession is ever going to be upheld.

Even though the unethical people at CBC, CTV and all other media pretend to have no understanding of what I mean, a lot of Maritimers understand me quite well already. Blogging is truly the only way to go these days. Watch out. Ordinary folks will replace you in a New York minute. Why else has CBC locked you out I might ask? It appears to me that only the Frenchmen has job security EH? Why do you think that is? Better yet look how quick Bloggers embarrassed Dan Rather before you call me a dreamer. That said look to find the text of this email in many Blogs in the near future and you can study the work of a very fierce political animal. All you should have to do is Google your own name or email address. Turn about is fair play. EH? If you don't like please sue me just like Billy Matthews did with Byron Prior. Google that name some time then tell me all is well in Newfoundland.

It is my fellow Maritimers that I want pissed off at the CBC etc. and all the corrupt politicians they have chosen to support. I do not give two hoots about you as a man Bobby Baby. To me you are just a dumb little pawn in a big big game. I am taking on the Masters of War alone despite the laughter from the likes of you. IF you want some insight in to my character have Rudyard Kipling explain my nature to you within his wonderful poem called IF. I take his advice not your. thus you have the reason behind my simple answer of NO. What I would prefer though Newfy is for you to call me a liar in a public forum. I dare ya. You do not seem all that sharp to me so I will warn you I was raised to the F's of the Maritimes that your former Premier explained to the Yankees years ago. I found it funny the chickenshit named only three. So much for being politically correct EH? He came close but no cigar. Castro will get my joke someday soon. Here is me phone number 506 434-1379. Use it Newfy if you dare to use a phone with a caller ID. Otherwise do not bother at all. just find me in the Blogs.

On a personal note Bill, I liked your voicemail to me. You and I should have a long talk sometime. I think it would be best to do in public in front of many witnesses who have no idea what we are talking about. I am up against some pretty bad acting Feds right now. I am sorry to say that I cannot afford to trust anyone. A very busy Bar or Diner where ordinary folk like me hang out are my favorite haunts. I know of a few down your way. Maybe I will give ya call when I am heading to your town. Better yet for the benefit of your party why not come see me ASAP? I ain't hard to find ask the RCMP. They have been watching me like a hawk.

Suzanne Gaudet is just like Bill Hamilton, She plays the see no evil, hear no evil speak no evil game. While Maurice Doiron, Murray Meldrum and Paul Duhas just opt to play dumb. What must Liza Frulla think of all this. From my point of view you do nothing so why not replace you with nothing at at. It is cheaper for the Taxpayer to keep piping in the BBC. Bullshit is Bullshit no matter what the accent.

Hey Lady Liza Frulla
I got the following response from the email I just sent to one of your underlings Ms. Macphee so I called the number she suggested and got the usual governmental voicemail from her help so I left a message. I got a call back just now from her assistant at 819 997-0313. I told her that I would send this email to you and she affirmed my right to do so. However when she attempted to lay down the law to me, I told her I would see her in court. I prefer to argue their lawyers in court rather than spit and chew with civil servants on the phone on my dime. More importantly to me is that I responded to you her Minister byway of email because I require hard copy for evidence to use during the pending arguments of the complaint against the Crown that I do intend to file in Federal Court in Fredericton New Brunswick soon. I am sending you two more emails after this one because my lawyer advised awhile ago to try hard to make my matters well none to the media. From this point forward as the Minister who oversees the CRTC who can never saw that you did not know what many other have known for quite sometime. For what is worth in my humble opinion if you play your political cards right you could be our first Lady Prime Minister.
I will give you Ms. Frulla the weekend to respond to me before I send this particular email to many others but many others will be receiving what Ms. Macphee aready got. I do not care what her assistant Ms Gable may think. She can gab to somebody else about what she wishes to inform me of. I have done my homework and need no advice from the likes of her. What Ms. Gable may not understand about me is that unlike Paul Martin I am a man of my word. I am just like him in one regard. I am also a very fierce political animal who is is equal and opposite in all things that define men. Martin is evil. I am not. Martin is a very wealthy lawyer. I am a just poor layman. Martin is labeled as Honourable and I am called as crazy as a loon. However I am a man Martin is not. He is a snake. I am indeed a very Proud Canadian who is definitely not proud of the people who speak for me. Get it Ms. Frulla?
As Minister Responsible for Status of Women, you really should make certain that the integrity of all women in government does not come into question. From my point of view some women such as the Yankee Judges, Sidney Hanlon, Paula Carey and Cristina Harms for example do much harm to the reputation of your gender. What they have done to my little family in the USA in order to support the rampant public corruption in Canada and the USA should offend anyone with half a mind at all. My wife is a woman too after all. She has never done any wrong at all. Her only offence to the justice system was to stand against the politcally connected family members who had stolen her interests because no lawyer would dare speak for her. When she had her breakdown I took up the fight as any proud husband and father should. It is not only my right but my duty to protect my little Clan. The biggest difference in our genders is that men are not so quick to cry or back down from any bully. My wife is a very tender soul while I can be as mean as a the snake Paul Martin is.
The New World of the Internet has afforded me quite a weapon to do battle with against the likes of Paul Martin and all his crooked cohorts. There is still a place in this Old World for a fierce ethical warrior such as I. Otherwise crooked men and women who are merely low people in high places to me will walk all over us common ordinary folk. I am no physical threat to anyone. I do battle with the word not the sword. It is mightier. Anyone who once worked for CBC should understand that simple fact.
Furthermore this email is definitely not Spam. I am greatly offended when the powers that be label it as such and block it to protect their own greedy interests. Whether you or anyone else believe me or not, my communications are in the best interest of the public. I feel confident that it is much to the chagrin of the people who have failed the public trust in their elected and politically appointed positions. I suspect that is why Nancy Gabler sounded so pissed off just like the tone of Hélène Lapointe's email to me . Rest assured many Canadians will be reading this email after I sent it to you. It is me on the phone to your office right now after that I am putting a bunch of material in the mail and serving many lawyers in hand. My phone call is an ethical effort to introduce myself in order to prove to you that I am sincere.
I know what I have sent to many Members of Parliament during the course of the past two years and I keep very good record to prove simple truths. For certain you just made my list of people who may be naughty or nice. After Xmas Martin must see that Gomery tells his tale and the Canadian people will decide once again who they think is naughty and nice. As as the freedom loving individual that I am I will decide long before then in the hope that my opinions become well known before an election is called. Whereas the people cannot depend on the CBC etc. to report all things of public interest, I will rely on the Blog.
I have no doubt whatsoever that your buddies within the CBC reported heavily your run for a seat in Parliament last year. As one of our newest Ministers besides Belinda Stronach ask them for your own education why the CBC failed in their mandate to report my bid for a seat as well. Better yet if you want to have fun take it out with the nasty dudes inside the warroom of the PCO/PMO offices. I will wager my name is the biggest curse word in Parliament right now. I am certain that is why it is not said over the airwaves or put in print. From now on at least you can never say that you did not know my name too.
I am begging ya, please do not be like two other women who once worked for the CBC Adrienne Clarkson and Michaelle Jean. Nobody is that dumb. They must have deliberatly ignored my laments because Paul Martin directed them to. May I suggest that you read this entire email from the point of view of an ethical Minister in charge of the public interest of the Canadian people? Please do the right thing despite what the leader of your party may wish. If not as you talk the talk on TV etc in the coming months about the doings of CBC and Parliament etc I will walk the walk and complain of many politicans in court. History has proven that in the end the truth usually wins out even if it is ignored in court in the present tense.
By the way guess who is campaigning hard for a fall election? To have an election on Boxing Day is righteously fine by me. I ain't religious. Ask the Holy See or George W. Bush why. I dare ya.

Excerpt from CTV.ca, Canada on Sep 27, 2005 of news by the Canadian Press

"CBC employees in Quebec and Moncton, N.B., are not affected by the lockout.

Information pickets set up early in the day under pouring rain didn't try to stop Prime Minister Paul Martin or Adrienne Clarkson, the Governor General, as they headed in for a morning news conference on Parliament Hill.

Clarkson, who will be replaced Tuesday by Michaelle Jean, governor-general designate, leaned out of her car to speak with CBC pickets.

At the rally, locked-out workers presented petitions signed by thousands of CBC fans calling for an end to the labour dispute.

Heritage Minister Liza Frulla acknowledged the anger of the Canadian public, telling the rally that cabinet ministers have been hearing demands that something be done to get the network back in business.

"All summer, we had messages from the population out there, messages from all through Canada, saying how they miss you," she told the rally. "


I just had to insert the campaign manager for Oscar Doucet for Leader Hélène Lapointe's answer in comical font. It is too funny to do other wise. How is is that dor the local NDP trying hard to play dumb?

However it is your job to prosecute criminals not mine. Correct?

Following September 11, 2001, there was an increase in the demand for military legal officers on operational deployments. Major John Smithers, a lawyer with the Tax Law Services Section of the ARO, was granted military leave to serve on an overseas mission."


For the record this is the text of the cover letter sent to Baker etc. Lets see what Mr. Speaker has to say now. I believe he is an ex cop ain't he? Lets see if he remembers how to uphold the law. If not don't you think it is high time that the lawyers in the NDP give the crooked Conservative Goverment the Boot? Everybody knows they are lapdogs for George W. Bush.

RE: Public Corruption

Hey,

Apparently everybody wanted to play dumb about my concerns and allegations so that Humpty Dumpty Martin’s minority government would not fall and they could party hardy while the Queen was in Canada. As you all know months ago, I began faxing, emailing and calling the eight other Lt. Governors I had yet to cross paths with. I fully informed them of my indignation towards the Governor General Clarkson and two of her other Maritime Lieutenants Roberts and Chaisson before the latest wave of bad acting Yankees invaded my home in the USA without warrants or due process if law.

I made certain all of the provincial Attorney Generals and Premiers can never deny the fact that I tried to make them well aware of my concerns and allegations in order to make everybody should sit up and pay attention. Not one person from any of your offices ever responded in any fashion at all. You can be certain that I expected the deliberate ignorance. It is one of the oldest tricks in the book that lawyers employ in order to play their wicked game of see no evil, hear no evil speak no evil. I knew it would happen particularly after Nova Scotia’s Conflict of Interest Commissioner Merlin Nunn had blocked my emails before I had contacted you. I have no doubt it helped to relieve him of his ethical dilemma before the NS NDP decided what to do about their chance to unseat the Conservatives. I have no doubt whatsoever many lawyers in Canada were praying that the Suffolk County District Attorney would have me back in the loony bin by April 28th and that all your troubles would go away. I opted to let you all have your way and did not bother you anymore until the Queen had left our shores and Parliament quit for the summer. Now it is my turn to have some fun and raise a little Political Hell.

While the Queen, Clarkson and Martin where all having a grand old time on the Canadian dime my little Clan went through living hell down here. Trust me, lawyers need to learn some new tricks. Ignorance is no excuse to the law or me. Making some Canadian Attorney Generals and their political buddies show me their arses is child’s play to me after all that I have experienced in the last few years. If you doubt me ask Michael J. Bryant and Yvon Marcoux why I am so pissed at their bosses and the DHS. Then check my work for yourself. If the tag team of John Ashcroft and Tom Ridge could not intimidate me, believe me you people don’t have a prayer. Both of those dudes have quit their jobs but I am still standing and squaring off against their replacements now. If it were not for all the decent folks I know, the snotty ones like you would make me feel ashamed to be a Canadian. There is no shortage of lawyers. It is just that ethical ones that are rare birds, that’s all. You must know how easily the Canadian people can replace you with other lawyers if it becomes widely known how willing you are to ignore crime if it means some fancy dude may be compelled to suffer for his own wrongs.

The justice system is supposed to be self-policing. It should clean up its own act rather than trying to maintain a false mask of integrity for lawyers that are obviously criminals. It is way beyond my understanding why you people would choose to support the likes of Paul Martin, Adrienne Clarkson, T. Alex Hickman and Billy Matthews if you are not all as crooked as hell as well. The deliberate ignorance and double-talk employed by the wealthy few to dodge simple truths is absolutely offensive to ordinary people blessed with the rare attribute called common sense. Not all folks are like sheep.

Paul Martin’s latest tricks make for a very fine example of truly how bad things are. Even amidst wholesale scandals breaking out hell, west and crooked everywhere lawyers and politicians just close ranks and stand together as thick as the thieves they are. I stress tested the ethics of the ladies of the Bloc Quebecois and the Gomery Inquiry immediately after Martin’s carefully orchestrated little circus in Parliament on May 19th was a matter of history. Lets just say I was not surprised to not hear one peep in response from anyone other than to get a call from an unidentified and very nervous but cocky Yankee lawyer claiming that Tony Blair was mad at me.

Pursuant to my phone calls, emails and faxes please find enclosed as promised exactly the same hard copy of what I sent to the Canadian Ambassadors Allan Rock and Franky Boy McKenna and a couple of nasty FBI agents on May 12th just before an interesting event in front of our home in Milton. I have also included a copy of four letters I have received in response since then that you may find interesting to say the least. I also sent you a copy of a letter sent to a lady Ms. Condolezza Rice whom our former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney considers to be the most powerful woman in the world. The CD of the copy of police surveillance tape # 139 is served upon all the above named Attorney Generals as officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.


I will not bother you with the details of what I am sending to you byway of the certified US Mail because I will be serving identical material to many other Canadian Authorities in hand and tell them I gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy of this letter. All that is important to me right now is that I secure proof that this mail was sent before I make my way back home to the Maritimes. However I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material than what Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact the same material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky Boy McKenna in particular received, while I was up home running for Parliament last year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so I have also included a few recent items to spice things up for you. I am tired of trying to convince people employed in law enforcement to uphold the law. So all I will say for now is deal will your own conscience and be careful how you respond to this letter. If you do not respond. Rest assured I will do my best to sue you some day. Ignorance is no excuse to the law or me.

The enclosed letter from The Public Service Integrity Office, whose boss recently testified before the Gomery Inquiry and following quotes prove why I must speak out.

"Well what do you expect?" said Le Hir in reaction. "Anybody who had been involved in that kind of thing isn't going to admit readily, or willfully, to having participated." Asked why he's waited 10 years to come out with his allegations, Le Hir said he was "sworn to secrecy.""I'm breaking that oath, and the only way I could have been relieved by that oath was by a judge in a court saying, 'Mr. Lehir, I understand that you have made an oath of secrecy; and you're hereby relieved of that oath."

"Mr. Wallace added that police and the courts, not internal rules, are best-equipped to deal with bureaucrats who cross the line and break the law. But Judge Gomery did not appear satisfied. "It takes a major scandal to get the police involved," he said. "It is not in the nature of the public service to call in the police."

Everybody knows that in order to protect the rights and interests of my Clan and to sooth my own soul, I have proven many times over that all lawyers, law enforcement authorities, and politicians in Canada and the USA are not worthy of the public trust. I maintain that their first order of business is to protect the evil longstanding system they have created for their own benefit rather than the people they claim to serve. Call me a liar and put it in writing. I Double Dog Dare ya.



Baker got my material. So did everyone else. Only the Attorney General in Quecbec refused it. I bet our newest Governor General knows why. It is likely for the same reason she will not accept my emails. It should be obvious to anyone why I must sue the Crown.

An Alliance candidate's French connection

Michelle Conroy says she values her family’s Acadian roots, despite her stance on bilingualism


Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Aug 27, 2020 7:00 AM AT



People's Alliance candidate Michelle Conroy loves Acadian culture but not all of the laws and policies put in place to preserve French. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

When People's Alliance MLA Michelle Conroy rose in the legislature over the last couple of years to read the prayer at the start of the day, she did something unusual for a member of her party.

She recited the prayer in both official languages.

That sets her apart in a political party that made criticism of official bilingualism a central tenet of its platform in 2018.


Last year Conroy told a party meeting in Miramichi that the media had unfairly labelled the party anti-French.

"We read it all the time, that there is a misconception of what we stand for and what we do and how we feel," she said. "And I think a lot of people don't know or don't realize that I do come from an Acadian background."


Conroy's grandparents, Marcel and Alfreda Cormier, relocated from near Saint-Louis-de-Kent to Chatham in the 1950s. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

Unlike her two colleagues from the last legislature, Alliance Leader Kris Austin and Rick DeSaulniers in Fredericton-York, Conroy has direct, firsthand knowledge of francophone life.

That includes how easily the language can be overwhelmed in a majority English community.
Conroy said she loves Acadian culture. But at the same time, she opposes many of the laws and policies put in place over several decades to preserve French amid New Brunswick's English majority — measures that didn't exist when her grandparents made a fateful move.

From Kent County to Chatham

Conroy's name before she was married was Cormier. Her grandparents Marcel and Alfreda relocated from near Saint-Louis-de-Kent to Chatham, now part of the city of Miramichi, in the 1950s.


"There was not a whole lot of French back then," she said.

"For years, the Cormier family was the only French family in Chatham," said Conroy's aunt, Della Drake-Daley, who was born before the move and who still speaks French today, including at occasional gatherings of fellow seniors looking to practise their mother tongue.


Michelle Conroy says she values her Acadian roots, but she opposes laws and policies aimed at slowing the assimilation her family experienced. 4:57

Her younger brother Donnie, Conroy's father, was born after the move to Chatham, so he grew up immersed in English.

"When Dad grew up, the family of course spoke French at home and then Dad would answer in English, so he never really spoke [French] either," Conroy said.

She said her father understands the language but doesn't speak it. Donnie Cormier sat in on the interview with his daughter and sister, which took place at his kitchen table, but he declined to be interviewed.

A common story

The Cormier story is a common one in New Brunswick, reflecting a demographic pressure that can squeeze the French out of a family in a generation or two.


According to Statistics Canada, the percentage of New Brunswickers with French as their mother tongue has declined from 35.9 per cent in 1951 to 32.4 per cent in 2016.


Conroy's father, Donnie Cormier, was born after the move to Chatham, so he grew up immersed in English. Her aunt Della Drake-Daley, who was born before the move, still speaks French. (Jacques Poitras/CBC )

It's particularly acute in Miramichi, a majority English area that draws in many residents of surrounding francophone communities for work.

"It's cultural gravity," said Marc Allain, the director of the Carrefour Beausoleil, a francophone community centre and school.
Without a French-language school option, "the reality is that the kid will be going to school in English, he'll be having Scouts in English, he's going to be having minor league [sports] in English.

"All of his formative experiences will be in that language and that's how he's going to perceive himself. … And that's the dynamic that we get into, built over generations."

A bulwark opposed by the Alliance

The school, which opened in 1985, is meant as a bulwark against that pressure. But it's part of the francophone school system, and the Alliance opposes the province's dual system.


Conroy said bilingual schools would allow all children to learn both languages, despite extensive social science research that shows francophone kids will tend to end up speaking English in such settings and lose their French.

Carrefour Beausoleil wasn't open when Conroy started school, and she didn't enrol in the late immersion that existed at the time.

"I kind of wish that I —" she began when asked if she regrets that.

"I don't regret not doing it," she continued. "I wish there was more French that was available then but … I remember at the time, even when I had the chance to go, I was worried about how my marks would be and things like that, changing languages."

Four tries for hospital job

Conroy decided to run for the Alliance in part because of her own experience trying to get a permanent job at the Miramichi Regional Hospital.

"I was denied employment four times," she said.


She held a casual position for eight years, dealing with the public and, she felt, doing a good job communicating in French. But a permanent position was out of reach.
It's impossible to blame individuals for something that is such a social phenomenon. It's just a question of opportunities and lack thereof.
- Marc Allain, director of Carrefour Beausoleil
"I could help anybody that came to the counter but if you didn't pass the test, you didn't get hired," she said.

Conroy said she had a "two" or "intermediate" ranking in the provincial public service language proficiency, and the job required a "two-plus."

According to the provincial system, a "two" means the employee is "able to satisfy routine social demands and limited work requirements."

"Two-plus" means they are "able to participate fully in general conversation."

Not long after her fourth attempt, she decided to run for the Alliance.


Pushing for changes

At recent four-party negotiations to try to avert a provincial election, Conroy recounted her experience and the Alliance pushed for positions requiring "two-plus" to be reduced to "two."

"All four parties agreed that it has to be looked at," Conroy said. In a Facebook message posted publicly by her party, she told a constituent that francophone Liberal and Green MLAs felt she had a point.

"If anything, [the discussion] did knock down barriers and knock down some walls to let us talk about it," she said. "And I feel going forward, for the people that are lucky enough to get back in, we have something to go on."

Horizon Health doesn't comment on hiring decisions, but in a statement, vice-president Margaret Melanson said the authority takes its legal obligations seriously and bilingual service "is a key component of offering safe and quality care."

She said employees who can't offer service in a patient or visitor's chosen language must track down someone who can. She also said the network is working on new training and complaint processes and "a new language-proficiency testing model."

Aunt supports Alliance position

Conroy's aunt Della, who said she also missed out on a job years ago because her French wasn't good enough, agreed with her niece that language requirements are too onerous.


"She could do the job and she trained the person who replaced [her] — that doesn't make sense."

On the other hand, Della Drake-Daley said, her five children were all raised in English and did not follow French immersion, and four of them have jobs in New Brunswick.

"They made out fine," she said.

Impossible to blame individuals

Marc Allain said the relentless demographic pressure of assimilation is not the fault of any one parent or family.

"It's often more a question of lack of resources or lack of linguistic or cultural infrastructure than anything else," he said.

"It's impossible to blame individuals for something that is such a social phenomenon. It's just a question of opportunities and lack thereof."


Conroy said it was "just the way the system is and the way things happen. It's not even something that we even noticed growing up or even commented on."

From past to present

The past is past, but even today, in Conroy's own riding, francophones are still grappling with assimilation.

The school and community centre, which also houses a daycare, is hoping to expand. All 70 spaces at the daycare are full and there are another 68 children on the waiting list.

With 300 students, the school is also full, though according to a survey Allain commissioned, only 51.5 per cent of the children in the Miramichi area who have the constitutional right to attend school in French are enrolled.

The other 48.5 per cent are missing the chance to preserve their mother tongue, Allain said. But some families opt for less crowded English schools.

Two different stories

Allain is reluctant to talk politics but said Conroy has not supported the push for expansion.


It's an issue that touches so closely on the experience of her own family, yet at the same time the two stories could not be farther apart.

"I don't think it would surprise anybody that we do not share the same vision of the foundations of what this place was built on, the notion of duality and the fact that a francophone kid has the same rights to access to education as anybody else," he said.

"At this point with our local MLA, it's extremely difficult to find common ground because there's such a wide disagreement at the base."

JJ Carrier
The whole party is based on CoR-style racism and anti-French hoo-hah, so her background and views are moot...


Chachi Arcola 
Reply to @JJ Carrier: What is your evidence of this?


JJ Carrier 
Reply to @Chachi Arcola: 37 years covering every right-wing party in N.B. for 45 media outlets, from the PA to the PANB, and seeing duplication of ideas in CoR lite of both CoR and the PA...And you taking the non-name approach here by using a copyrighted ABC name shows me your mental process is moot as well...


JJ Carrier 
Reply to @Chachi Arcola: CoR Lite is run by a failed minister from Nackawic, so that tells me if someone can't make a church run properly in the Carleton-York bible belt he should not run anything besides his mouth whining about Hydro Quebec - the real reason the PANB started BTW


Archie Levesque
Reply to @JJ Carrier: Can you prove JJ Carrier is your actual name? Can you show proof for the supposed media coverage? Or are you just a SANB- party member here to constantly dump on anyone & everyone that doesnt follow along the Liberal line like a sheep?


Jeff LeBlanc 
Reply to @Archie Levesque: Took the words right out of my mouth. And what kind of "journalist" makes fun of someone's mental process? Not a very good or ethical one that is for sure. Might explain why he doesn't cover politics anymore. If he ever did. I'm with you I don't believe a single word.

Reply to @Jos Allaire: Which Archie Levesque you mean? I know a half-dozen just in the Charlo region alone...


JJ Carrier 
Reply to @Jeff LeBlanc: Your thinking is flawed because you are defending someone with a fake name over someone who has had his name on 25,000 stories...Google not working for you dude?


JJ Carrier 
Reply to @Jeff LeBlanc: I also said the Parti Acadian was right-wing in my comment,..The PANB couldn't even get their letters on their own they had to steal them from the original PANB...And you thinking I'm a mouthpiece for the SANB is a joke because I am a mouthpiece for the Rhino Party of Restigouche, sunshine...The RPR and the SANB broke up in 1981 after they refused our request for the Olympics on Heron Island as you know...It was on the Leblanc CBC was it not?


Jeff LeBlanc 
Reply to @JJ Carrier: The onus is on you, not me, to prove you are who you say you are. Either way I never heard of you nor do I care. #baited


JJ Carrier 
Reply to @Jeff LeBlanc: Covering politics as we speak sunshine...Battle of the signs in Carleton has begun - just like I covered it in Richardsville in 1993 and Dalhousie in the McKenna years...And what have you done today? Criticize me in public from the safety of your basement without even vetting? And are you really Jeff Leblanc because I run a Jeff Leblanc fan club and you don't fit the introductory thank you letter...


Jeff LeBlanc
Reply to @JJ Carrier: um it's dining room not basement. Nice YouTube channel though and I found 1 "interview" some woman did of you and I don't even believe it's real. Post links to articles you wrote on your channel if you are legit. Old timey hockey videos don't count. Then I'll share your channel link to everyone so they can see you are legit. Which you won't do...because you are not.

Our Reason For Being

Our Vision

Acadian and Francophone communities contribute to the growth and influence of their language and culture.

Our Mission

The mission of the Beausoleil Community Hub is to promote the development and outreach of Acadian and Francophone communities in the Miramichi region.

Our Name

The meaning behind the choice of the Carrefour Beausoleil name can be explained as follows: The word Carrefour is linked to the desire to make the Center a meeting place for Francophones in the region. The second part of the name relates to Joseph Broussard, who was nicknamed Beausoleil. He was a hero of Acadian resistance at the time of the deportation.

    Chief electoral officer prefers byelections over general election

    Kim Poffenroth says byelections are good first test of new protocols



    Mia Urquhart· CBC News· Posted: Aug 04, 2020 7:29 PM AT



    Elections New Brunswick is preparing for upcoming byelections and the possibility of a general election. Either way, going to the polls during a pandemic will look different. (CBC)

    The best contingency plan for holding an election during a pandemic is to not hold an election during a pandemic, according to Liberal MLA Roger Melanson.

    "That would be the best case scenario for everybody to stay safe and be safe and don't have to worry about their public health during a pandemic," Melanson told a standing committee of the legislature Tuesday afternoon.

    He told the hearing that New Brunswick shouldn't hold a general election in the shadow of COVID-19.


    Premier Blaine Higgs hasn't ruled out making a snap election call.

    Higgs lacks a majority in the legislature and the pending retirement of PC MLA Bruce Northrup will make it even harder for the government to win confidence votes and pass legislation.

    At the very least, two byelections are required, with vacant seats in Saint Croix and Shediac Bay - Dieppe, and Higgs has said he isn't sure whether to call a general election or just go ahead with byelections.

    He acknowledged last month that many New Brunswickers don't want to go to the polls in a pandemic.


    Chief electoral officer Kim Poffenroth told a standing committee of the legislature that she's ready for a general election but would prefer to test new pandemic-related protocols on a smaller scale. (Graham Thompson/CBC)

    Kim Poffenroth, the chief electoral officer at Elections New Brunswick, said the province is ready for an election, but that she would prefer to test the new procedures around pandemic safety with a byelection rather than a full-scale provincial election.

    "It's really all about being able to test new procedures," Poffenroth told reporters after the hearing.


    "Elections New Brunswick, I think rightfully, tends to be conservative when it comes to testing new procedures. So we like to test things at a small scale before we implement them on a large scale," she said.

    Also, there are a number of things that Elections New Brunswick cannot pilot during a general election.

    One of those would change the way votes are collected. Poffenroth said she'd like to run a test of telephone voting — and that can only be done during a byelection.

    "Unfortunately, I don't have any authority to pilot that kind of novel voting process at a general election," she explained.

     Behind the scenes preparations underway to navigate risks of possible snap election

    Moncton Centre Liberal MLA Rob McKee said the Liberals have heard that a campaign could begin as early as this week, which would put election day in early September.


    During Tuesday's standing committee on "procedure, privileges and legislative officers," several politicians voiced their opposition to holding a general election.


    Moncton Liberal MLA Rob McKee said it would be “irresponsible” to call an election in a pandemic. (CBC)

    McKee told the hearing that it would be "irresponsible" to call an election in a pandemic.

    He asked Poffenroth what contingency plans and safety protocols will be put in place. He also wondered what would happen if someone showed up at a polling station not wearing a mask.

    The bottom line is that masks will not be enforced, said Poffenroth.

    "One's right to vote is the most basic democratic right. It's No. 3 under the Charter of Rights," she told the committee.

    Voters will be asked to wear a mask, but they will not be turned away.


    "I don't believe I have the authority, constitutionally, to do that," she said.
    The staff at polling stations won't "get into a fight with somebody and throw somebody out of a polling location because they refuse."

    While there are a few more powers that Poffenroth would like to see given to Elections New Brunswick, the power to stop an election is not one of them — not even during a pandemic.

    "As the chief electoral officer, I did not want the authority to determine whether an election should be paused or put on hold."

    She said "some additional flexibility to deal with public health emergencies" would be helpful in a pandemic, but the decision to halt an election should rest with the Legislative Assembly.

    'Flatten the election curve'

    Using a term from the pandemic lexicon, Poffenroth encouraged voters to "flatten the election curve" in an effort to reduce crowds at polling stations on election day.


    She wants people to consider voting at advanced polls or at the returning office in their riding, or by using mail-in ballots.

    And if they do vote on election day, she suggested avoiding peak voting times — on the way home from work and after supper.

    "So trying to encourage people that can get out to vote early if they have some flexibility in their work, or if they don't work, to vote at those off-peak times."

    Poffenroth told the committee that Elections New Brunswick has spent more than $1 million to make voting in a pandemic safer for everyone.
    All polling staff will wear masks and/or face shields, and masks will be provided to voters who don't have their own.

    "We've spent a little over a million dollars and the largest portion of that is for masks and face shields both for our workers and voters."


    She said each polling station will also have two additional COVID-related positions — a personal protection constable, who will explain the safety protocols, ask them to use hand sanitizer, and offer them a mask if they don't have one; and a roving constable, who will ensure high-touch points are properly sanitized.

    Mail-in ballots

    Poffenroth hopes that more people will use mail-in ballots.

    She thinks there may be a misconception among voters that only those outside the province can use this method.

    Elections New Brunswick has ordered an increased supply of mail-in ballots and bought $19,000 worth of stamps. Normally, voters were expected to pay their own postage, but under the circumstances, Poffenroth felt it was "appropriate" for Elections New Brunswick to foot the bill.

    Opposition positions

    Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers has said he does not want an election this year and said his party would not force an election.

    Green Party Leader David Coon also said this isn't the right time for an election.

    People's Alliance leader Kris Austin has said he doesn't think New Brunswickers want an election.

    With a minority govt. in place for the past couple of years , and with three by-elections in the wings ; it would be wise to have a general election , and clear the air ; because failure at the polls during the by-elections could topple the govt. anyways . It sounds like many of the opposition MLAs are scared of an election because they might lose their seats along with their fat salaries , expense accounts , and gold plated pension plans .

    If we can consider sending kids to school, opening the province for travel within the Atlantic Bubble, re opening for business, we can certainly hold an election.
    Not that any of the politicians have shown or stated what they would do differently. Higgs doesn't have a mandate to deal with the fallout of Covid-19, the government could easily fall through the 2 by elections.
    One final comment, migrating to phone in ballots is likely a step NB is not ready for. Cell phone calls are notoriously easy to hack/ intercept compared to landlines. VoIP depending upon the encryption used by the carrier are also an open question. Opening up phone in ballot taking could lead to a huge increase in identity theft as sophisticated criminals could eavesdrop on the call and get valuable information typically not easily accessible from the call

    Hot off the presses

    "When pressed about when he will make a decision, Higgs wouldn't be pinned down. "

    "So I'm sure that Elections New Brunswick ... can figure out a way that we can maintain democracy and move it in a direction that allows us to ensure we do it safely. And it would only be under those conditions of being able to do it safely that I would consider calling an election in the future."

    Too Too Funny Indeed















    David Amos
    "Higgs said he has met with caucus to discuss the issue and will continue to do so. He said an election won't be called "without a clear understanding of how we can manage it safely, and how we can have an election that ensures that democracy continues to work as it needs to in order to govern our province."

    Yea Right

    "Premier Blaine Higgs said he's not prepared to call a general election — at least not this week.

    That was about as definitive as he got when asked during a Tuesday afternoon news conference."

    Reply to @David Amos: Go away. No one cares about the mess you surely
    created. I hardly believe you've been unlawfully arrested, goods
    seized time after time and now our precious Higgy won't give you
    Medicare.

    >> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
    >>
    >> I.                    Introduction
    >>
    >> [1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
    >> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
    >> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
    >> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
    >> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
    >> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
    >> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
    >> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
    >> (Claim at para. 96).
    >>
    >> [2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
    >> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
    >> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
    >> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
    >> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
    >> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
    >> Prothontary’s Order).
    >>
    >>
    >> [3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
    >> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
    >> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
    >> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
    >> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
    >> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
    >>
    >>
    >> [4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
    >> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
    >> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
    >> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
    >> cross-appeal.
    >>
    >>
    >> II.                 Preliminary Matter
    >>
    >> [5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
    >> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
    >> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
    >> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
    >> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
    >> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
    >> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
    >> several judges but did not name those judges.
    >>
    >> [6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
    >> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
    >> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
    >> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
    >> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
    >> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
    >> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
    >> c. F-7:
    >>
    >>
    >> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
    >> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
    >> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
    >> Appeal.
    >> […]
    >>
    >> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
    >> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
    >> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
    >> […]
    >> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
    >> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
    >> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
    >>
    >> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
    >> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
    >> juges de la Cour fédérale.
    >>
    >>
    >> [7]               However, these subsections only provide that the
    >> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
    >> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
    >> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
    >> section.
    >> [8]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
    >> that:
    >> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
    >> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
    >> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
    >> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
    >> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
    >> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
    >>
    >> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
    >> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
    >> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
    >> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
    >> Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
    >> continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
    >> matière civile et pénale.
    >> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
    >> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
    >> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
    >> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
    >> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
    >> court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
    >>
    >> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
    >> première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
    >> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
    >> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
    >> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
    >> canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
    >> compétence en matière civile et pénale.
    >>
    >>
    >> [9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
    >> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
    >> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
    >> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
    >> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
    >> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
    >> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
    >> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
    >> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
    >> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
    >> appeal book.
    >>
    >>
    >> [10]           Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
    >> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
    >> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
    >> conflict in any matter related to him.
    >>
    >>
    >> [11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
    >> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
    >> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
    >> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
    >> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
    >> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
    >> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
    >> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
    >> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
    >> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
    >> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
    >> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
    >>
    >>
    >> [12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
    >> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
    >> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
    >> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
    >> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
    >> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
    >> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
    >> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
    >> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
    >> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
    >> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
    >> such judge had a conflict.
    >>
    >>
    >> [13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
    >> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
    >> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
    >> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
    >> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
    >> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
    >> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
    >> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
    >> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
    >> was a member of such firm.
    >>
    >>
    >> [14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
    >> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
    >> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
    >> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
    >> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
    >> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
    >> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
    >> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
    >> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
    >>
    >>
    >> [15]           The documents that he submitted in relation to the
    >> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
    >> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
    >> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
    >> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
    >> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
    >> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
    >> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
    >> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
    >> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
    >> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
    >> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
    >> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
    >> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
    >> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
    >> [16]           Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
    >> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
    >> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
    >> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
    >> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
    >> apprehension of bias:
    >> 60        In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
    >> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
    >> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
    >> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
    >> reasonable apprehension of bias:
    >> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
    >> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
    >> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
    >> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
    >> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
    >> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
    >> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
    >> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
    >>
    >> [17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed
    >> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
    >> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
    >> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
    >> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
    >> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
    >> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
    >> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
    >> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
    >> (4th) 193).
    >>
    >> [18]           The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
    >> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
    >> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
    >> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
    >> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
    >> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
    >> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
    >> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
    >> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
    >> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
    >> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
    >> 27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a

    >> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
    >> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
    >> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying

    >> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
    >>
    >>
    >> 30        That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
    >> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
    >> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
    >> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
    >> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
    >> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
    >> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
    >> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
    >>             To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
    >> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
    >> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
    >> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
    >> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
    >> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
    >> 31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
    >> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
    >> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
    >> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
    >> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
    >>
    >>
    >> 32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
    >> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
    >> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
    >> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
    >> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
    >> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
    >> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
    >> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
    >> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
    >> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
    >> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
    >> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
    >> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
    >> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
    >> events from over a decade ago.
    >> (emphasis added)
    >>
    >> [19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
    >> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
    >> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
    >> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the

    >> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for

    >> [21]           In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4

    >> [25]           Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.

    >> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
    >> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
    >>
    >>
    >> III.               Issue
    >>
    >> [26]           The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
    >> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
    >> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
    >> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
    >> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
    >>
    >> IV.              Analysis
    >>
    >> A.                 Standard of Review
    >>
    >> [27]           Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
    >> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
    >> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
    >> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
    >> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
    >> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
    >> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
    >> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
    >> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
    >> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
    >> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
    >> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
    >> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
    >> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
    >> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
    >> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
    >> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
    >> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
    >> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
    >>
    >> [28]           In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
    >> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
    >> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
    >> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
    >> interfere.
    >>
    >>
    >> B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
    >> Prothonotary’s Order?
    >>
    >> [29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
    >> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
    >> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
    >>
    >> 17.       Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
    >> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
    >> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
    >> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
    >> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
    >> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
    >> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
    >> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
    >> (…)
    >>
    >>
    >> 21.       The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
    >> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
    >> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
    >> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
    >> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
    >> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
    >> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
    >> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
    >> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
    >> [footnotes omitted].
    >>
    >>
    >> [30]           The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
    >> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
    >> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
    >> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
    >> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
    >> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
    >> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
    >> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it

    >> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
    >> para. 27).
    >>
    >>
    >> [31]           The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a

    >> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:

    >> [13]      As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
    >> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must

    >>
    >> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
    >> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
    >>
    >> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
    >> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
    >>
    >> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
    >> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
    >> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
    >> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28

    >>
    >> [32]           The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
    >> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
    >> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
    >> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
    >> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
    >>
    >> [33]           This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
    >> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
    >> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
    >>
    >> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
    >> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
    >> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”.
    >> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
    >> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald,
    >> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse
    >> of process…
    >>
    >> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
    >> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
    >> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
    >> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
    >> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
    >> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
    >> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
    >> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
    >> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
    >>
    >> [34]           Applying the Housen standard of review to the
    >> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
    >> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
    >>
    >> [35]           The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
    >> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
    >> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
    >> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
    >> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
    >> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
    >> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
    >> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from
    >> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
    >> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
    >> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
    >> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
    >> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
    >> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of
    >> supporting a cause of action.
    >>
    >> [36]           In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare

    >> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
    >> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we

    Longest-serving Liberal MLA hopes for general election, despite talks to delay one

    'Our caucus is not representing the whole province, but in an election everybody will have a say: yes or no'


    Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Aug 14, 2020 10:46 AM AT



    Liberal MLA Denis Landry said he would rather go to an election that wait until the fall of 2022. (Jacques Poitras/CBC News)

    The longest-serving Liberal member of the legislature says he'd prefer to trigger a general election than sign a two-year ceasefire with the Progressive Conservative minority government.

    "I would rather like to go to an election," Denis Landry told activist Jefferson George Wright, who was buttonholing politicians Friday morning as they arrived for a third day of negotiations.

    "Our caucus is not representing the whole province, but in an election everybody will have a say: yes or no."


    That's not the position articulated by Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers, who says Higgs should not call an election.
    Landry was first elected in 1995 and has been an MLA for all but four years ever since. He's is serving as leader of the Official Opposition in the legislature because Vickers does not have a seat.

    Asked by reporters if the Liberal caucus will support Vickers whatever he decides on signing a deal, Landry said, "I wouldn't say no or yes. I'm going to tell you why: we're working as a team and the leader will go with what the caucus decides."

    The Liberal caucus is scheduled to meet at noon. Vickers said last night he'll stay in the talks until he gets direction from his MLAs.

    Landrymade the comments as he, Vickers and party staffer Greg Byrne arrived around 9 a.m

    Vickers acknowledged Thursday night there were "reservations and concerns" within his caucus abot the negotiations with Premier Blaine Higgs.

    Vickers wouldn't say whether he's optimistic there will be a deal today, which is the deadline established by Higgs.

    "We're here in good faith," he said.

    Avoiding early election 

    Higgs sent a letter to the three opposition parties Monday asking them to to agree to avoid forcing an early election until the scheduled date in October 2022 or until the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

    Higgs has been hinting for weeks that he would trigger a campaign, justifying the threat by saying the province needs stability to manage the pandemic and continue restarting the economy.

    The agreement would include a promise by the other parties to not defeat the Progressive Conservative minority government on confidence and supply votes such as the budget and trigger a campaign.

    In return, Higgs, whose approval ratings in polls have been at record highs, would also not call an election until 2022.




    The premier said he wants a deal by the scheduled end of the talks on Friday because the coming weeks are the best "window" for an election if one has to happen, with the province in a relative lull with COVID-19 ahead of a possible second wave.
    Mathematically, Higgs doesn't need the Liberals to be part of a deal for him to stay in power for two more years. The votes of the Greens and the Alliance would be enough.

    But he said Thursday night that he needed all four parties to be part of any deal.

    Activist urges for byelection to go ahead 

    On Friday morning, Wright, a Saint Johner whose email address identifies him with the "UFO Party," politely urged the politicians arriving for the meetings to stand up for democracy.

    He said three looming byelections should go ahead this fall.

    "It seems there is the long-term planning of a tyranny in place," he said. "I just mean a government that is more happy to control us than to be free."

    Wright protested the postponement of municipal elections at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Friday morning he spoke to the three Green MLAs, People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin, Vickers and Landry.

    "I was treated with dignity and respect," Wright said. "My heart feels pure. I spoke truth to people. I received from those politicians truthful answers back. It seemed like I was understood, so this was nothing but a miraculous success for me."

    Besides being polite to this "activist", how can he seriously expect much support for a "U.F.O." party. This isn't an issue about believing in U.F.O.s, but about integrity in the election process...such a party denigrates the democratic process as much as the Rhino party and those of that ilk. My belief remains that since we're being well-served by Premier Higgs and his government, we should let well enough. I'm a Red l/Liberal and I cannot see how an expensive election at a time when we don't need one will serve anybody's interest, except possibly that of the P.C.s but who knows...lots can happen between the writ being dropped and election day!

    Reply to @Matthew Smith: The words of a man who watched a republic devolve into autocracy. On a more hopeful note, consider Burke:

    "Certainly, Gentlemen, it ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the most unreserved communication with his constituents. Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinions high respect; their business unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasure, his satisfactions, to theirs,—and above all, ever, and in all cases, to prefer their interest to his own.
    But his unbiased opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you, to any man, or to any set of men living. These he does not derive from your pleasure,—no, nor from the law and the Constitution. They are a trust from Providence, for the abuse of which he is deeply answerable. Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.

    It seems that the MLAs like Denis Landry who are confident in being re-elected want a general election ; and the MLAs like Coon , Austin , and Vickers want to avoid an election for fear of being rejected by the voters , and losing their place at the taxpayer funded trough. It is not hard to determine which MLAs truly believe in the democratic system , and which MLAs are only in politics to fill their own pockets .


    Christopher Harborne
    Reply to @Matt Steele: First off, Vickers has no seat, so I'm questioning the intention of your comments. As for avoiding an election - there's a public health crisis ongoing, in case you've missed that. Have you ever campaigned? It involves talking, to a LOT of people, going door to door, holding town halls, etc. If even one infected person meets a candidate, they could spread it to team members, other candidates, the general public, etc. That's why there's hesitance to hold an election.

    I've given Higgs lots of credit for his COVID response and the way he worked with the Leg. This undoes a lot of that goodwill in my mind, this is just craven opportunism.

    Francophone or Anglophone, anyone who lives in rural New Brunswick (that's the majority of us) who votes for anyone other than the P A N B is making a mistake in my opinion. How many times can we vote for the same people who don't care about our rural way of life?


    Al Borland 
    Reply to @Al Borland: That's not to say that the P A N B won't care about the cities, it just means they might govern with both the cities and rural areas in mind. People in rural areas aren't against cities, they're where we work, shop, conduct our business, but we need people in power who understand the challenges unique to rural areas.


    Matt Steele 
    Reply to @Al Borland: .....If that is the case , then the PANB had better get a new leader as Kris Austin is doing everything he can to avoid an election . The big MLA pay cheque and expense account seems to mean more to Austin than anything else .

    Reply to @Matt Steele: That's unfortunate. I'd like to think it's because he wants to maintain the influence his party currently enjoys or that he's worried about being blamed for an election during a pandemic. I'd like to think it's for nobler reasons than his salary.

    Reply to @Al Borland: Cute joke. Meanwhile, a few of the candidates for the PANB have a known and public history of saying nasty things against francophones and their communities. No francophone in their right mind would vote for a single-issue party trying to work against their rights, especially a party who allows people who speak AGAINST francophones on a discriminatory level to act as voices and leaders for their platform as candidates.

    Examples, such as Michael Griffin stating in these exact words: “There should be no more Francophone premiers in this province”, Doug Ellis going out of his way to purposely and hatefully call the Acadian flag a “banner”, Sharon Buchanan sharing nonsense offensive ads with her hate group masquerading themselves as a “anglo rights” group. The type of people running this group are the same types of people you see parading around in the US making fools of themselves because of their needs for “white and straight pride and rights”.

    There's a reason why no one takes them seriously, and there's a reason why PANB supporters are viewed in the same light as Trumpers in this province.

    So the back room liberals are stating that they want an election, confirming Vickers is just a figure head with no power or influence. Higgs has outed/aired the liberal's true intentions that they want an election even if it costs the lives of the elderely to get back to the trough. If there is an election it's 100% because of liberal greed.


    Roy Kirk: 
    Reply to @Matt Smith: To be fair, M. Landry is an elected MLA. Not the normal definition of a 'back-room boy'. And his state desire was only actionable through a motion of non-confidence, in which case his party would clearly bear responsibility. Premier Higgs has muddied these waters by threatening to call a general election unless the opposition in the house abandons its normal role -- and absurd demand on its face. So Mr. Higgs will have to own it if he fails to hold the by-elections and just calls a general election.

    Reply to @Matt Smith: That's exactly what Higg's would have people believe but it's not based in reality. Higg's believes he can win an election right now, but if the opposition is crazy enough to buy into his proposal ,it's even better for him. No risk,all gain.


    Matt Smith 
    Reply to @Roy Kirk: I disagree. Two seconds on the liberal facebook page and you can see they have been in full election mode this whole time.

    Higgs’s snap election makes voting harder for young and old, critics say


    CUPE NB President Brien Watson

    New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs is coming under fire for calling a provincial election that could deprive both older and younger people of an opportunity to vote.

    “In my mind, Mr. Higgs saw an opportunity to have a low voter turnout and he’s grappling onto this opportunity to try to get a majority government,” says Brien Watson, President of the New Brunswick division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

    He was referring to Elections NB’s decision to dispense with the normal practice of putting polling stations in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to make it easier for the elderly to vote.

    “This was needless to call the election at this time. All parties were working together just fine,” Watson adds, “so there was no need except for him to try and have a power grab.”

    Elections NB says that because of the sudden election call with the shortest possible 28-day campaign period, it won’t have the time or staff to set up polling stations as it normally does in long-term care facilities or on university and college campuses.

    Wasiimah Joomun, executive director of The New Brunswick Student Alliance, says that decision is disappointing and disheartening because many students are first-time voters unfamiliar with the election process.


    Wasiimah Joomun of The NB Student Alliance

    “Having on-campus polling stations really eases that process for them because not only is it a familiar space and environment for them, but also you have volunteers on campus that can help them,” she says.

    Joomun points out that New Brunswick students living away from home were also able to vote more easily in their home ridings at the campus polling stations.

    She says the early September election will deprive some students, who are new to the province, of the right to vote because they will not have resided in New Brunswick for the required 40 days before the election.

    Jonathan Ferguson, president of the Mount Allison Students Union, says the situation is not as serious in Sackville as at other universities because the main polling station at the Civic Centre is not far from the university, but he adds that MASU agrees the lack of on-campus voting does present a barrier to some students.

    Meantime, Elections NB says residents of long-term care facilities will be able to vote by mail-in ballot, but Brien Watson of CUPE says nursing homes don’t have enough staff to assist elderly voters.

    “Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen that the nursing home workers, they don’t have time to do something like that,” he adds.

    Watson says that by calling a snap election, Higgs prevented the legislature from giving Elections NB the power to conduct voting in other ways such as by telephone or during special polling times set aside for the elderly or people with compromised immune systems.

    “We’re in a pandemic, a world pandemic, times we have never seen before in our lifetime and things like that need to be taken into consideration for people’s lives and health and safety,” Watson says.
    Mount Allison politics professor Geoff Martin agrees.

    “It really becomes an illustration of  the problem of having an election during the pandemic,” he says.
    “It’s going to be inconvenient enough for people in general to vote because of concerns about showing up at the polling stations in person,” he adds, “and it’s a shame to discourage young people from getting involved in the system.”

    Local Green MLA plans to focus on health care in her bid for re-election


    Megan Mitton delivering her victory speech in 2018 after winning an 11-vote squeaker

    Green MLA Megan Mitton says she’s all set for her re-election campaign in Memramcook-Tantramar.

    “I’m ready to go,” she said today during a telephone interview.

    “We’re going to hit the ground running,” she says. “It will be a very short campaign and it will require some creativity.”

    Mitton says she won’t be campaigning door to door as she did  two years ago, but will use mail-outs, online media, election signs and the phones to reach voters during the pandemic.

    “I’m planning to get a little pop-up tent and move around the riding to be available for people to come to me,” she says, “and we’ll mark it on the ground two metres apart, but that way we can meet, so I’m going to make sure I’m all over the riding.”

    Mitton says it’s unfortunate Premier Higgs decided to call an election for political reasons in a bid to win a majority and more power.

    “Frankly, it is putting New Brunswickers at risk,” she says. “Democracy is very important, but we do have a minority government that has been working for two years and could have continued to work.”

    When asked about main issues, Mitton says health care is always a priority, but even more so now that the pandemic has brought it into sharper focus.


    Mitton addressing rally in February outside Sackville’s hospital

    “One of the successes of myself and the Green caucus was in budget negotiations in March getting Higgs to agree to permanently take the overnight ERs off the table in terms of health reforms,” she says referring to a plan to close overnight emergency rooms at six rural hospitals including Sackville Memorial.

    Hundreds of people held protest rallies outside the hospital last February after the Horizon Health Network also announced plans to convert acute care beds into long-term ones and to cancel all day surgeries in Sackville.

    “Because we had a minority government, the Higgs government wasn’t able to follow through with the plan that they wanted,” Mitton says, “and I think our community won’t hesitate to step right up, get into the streets and rally around our health services and, I’ll be right there with them.”

    When asked if she’s worried about getting re-elected after winning in 2018 by only 11 votes, Mitton says she’s planning to campaign hard using the experience she’s gained hearing from people all over the riding in the last two years.

    “I’ve learned a lot more and gained a lot more experience,” she says, “and I’m looking forward to going back to the legislature with even more Greens.”

    So far, Mitton is facing only one other opponent in Memramcook-Tantramar, Liberal Maxime Bourgeois who is a lawyer in Memramcook.

    A Liberal party representative says Bourgeois is still pulling his campaign together, but should be ready for an interview with Warktimes in a few days.

    The Progressive Conservatives and the NDP say they haven’t chosen their local candidates yet.
    Etienne Gaudet, who ran for the Conservatives in 2018, says he will not be running again this time.

    Mitton pledges to fight Conservative plan to sell historic Memramcook Institute


    The provincial government wants to sell the Memramcook Institute which has been unoccupied since 2016 and has undergone $17 million in renovations

    Local Green Party candidate Megan Mitton says the Higgs government’s apparent plan to sell the historic Memramcook Institute shows the same insensitivity to rural areas that it demonstrated when it supported cuts to Sackville Memorial Hospital and tried to privatize the operation of Murray Beach Provincial Park.

    “We see this again and again, whether it’s our rural hospitals threatened with closures this spring, provincial parks, or highly important cultural and historical symbols — simply put, enough is enough!” Mitton says in a news release, adding, “I can promise you one thing: I will fight this!”


    Megan Mitton in Green Party photo outside Memramcook Institute

    Later, during a telephone interview, she criticized the Higgs government’s failure to consult with local people before moving ahead with plans to sell the Memramcook Institute, site of Collège Saint-Joseph, the first Acadian university.

    “It’s another example of governments, and we’ve seen this with both Conservative and Liberal governments, making decisions without the people who live in those communities,” said Mitton who is running for re-election in the riding of Memramcook-Tantramar.

    “In Memramcook, there are people who have formed committees, who have been working hard to find a plan, have wanted to work with the provincial government and here the government’s moving unilaterally and without any consultation,” she added.

    Election issue

    Memramcook Mayor Michel Gaudet says the potential sale of the Memramcook Institute, without any consultation, is going to be a big issue in the provincial election campaign.

    “I’ve contacted them (the government) on four different occasions in the last couple of weeks, with no phone calls returned,” he said in a telephone interview.

    “Premier Higgs was in Memramcook on Wednesday and nobody even called me to be there,” Gaudet says, “so that proves how much they care about the riding.”

    The provincial government has owned the Memramcook Institute since 1967 after the college and seminary there closed.

    In 2014, a previous Conservative government sought unsuccessfully to sell the complex, which includes several buildings, after the corporation that ran the institute declared bankruptcy.

    Then, in 2017, the Liberals pledged $25 million over three years to renovate the institute.


    Memramcook Mayor Michel Gaudet

    Mayor Gaudet says the province spent $17 million restoring the exterior of the main building and putting a new heating system in it before the Conservatives halted the project in 2018 as part of their overall reductions in capital spending.

    “What’s concerning is that there’s $17 million in the building now and if they sell it, I would be very, very, very, surprised if they would get even $17 million to cover the renovations,” he adds.

    Instead, he argues the government should use the institute for provincial offices instead of renting space elsewhere.

    “Here’s a building that they have 100,000 square feet all completed in Memramcook which is 15 minutes from Sackville, 15 minutes from Dieppe, 20-25 minutes from Shediac,” Gaudet says.

    “Here’s a building that they can go and potentially put offices for a fraction of what they’re paying in rent; it’s very fiscally irresponsible in my opinion that they are doing that.”

    On Wednesday, Radio-Canada — the French-language arm of the CBC — reported that several buyers had expressed interest in the institute.

    Radio Canada also quoted from an e-mail it had received from the provincial department of transportation and infrastructure saying that officials could give no further details as discussions are underway with various parties.

    Local Liberal candidate, Maxime Bourgeois, says rural communities need better services, not cuts in services


    Maxime Bourgeois in Sackville’s Bill Johnstone Park

    Maxime Bourgeois, the 34-year-old Liberal candidate in Memramcook-Tantramar says PC leader Blaine Higgs tried to recruit him to run for the Conservatives in the 2018 provincial election, but he decided his political sympathies lay with the Liberals instead.

    “I really had to sit down and think about what I wanted to do and where I was going,” Bourgeois said today during an interview in Sackville, “and at that time, I realized that my political beliefs are a lot more in line with the Liberals than Conservatives.”

    He added that even though the Liberals recognize that governments need to be financially responsible, they’re also compassionate.

    “I think we’re a lot more socially conscious about the struggles that people have in front of them,” Bourgeois says. “The government cannot provide every single solution for everything, but I think it’s very important that we are there to help those in need, the vulnerable.”

    Rural advocate

    Five years ago, Bourgeois founded a company in Memramcook that organizes cultural events and forums for Francophone groups such as Canadian Parents for French and French for the Future.

    He also set up his own law firm in Memramcook and became the first president of the local Chamber of Commerce he helped launch.

    Bourgeois says that while he could have established his law practice in a bigger centre such as Dieppe, he wanted to live in the village where he grew up.

    “I’m a big advocate for rural New Brunswick and I think we can’t cut essential services, we need to provide better services,” he says, referring to the PC government’s previous support for cuts to Sackville Memorial Hospital — cuts that included closing the emergency room overnight, converting acute care beds into longer-term chronic care ones and cancelling day surgeries.

    Bourgeois says it’s fine to argue that it takes only 30 minutes to drive to the Moncton Hospital, but that doesn’t account for times when there are severe snow storms.

    “My argument is that to support rural New Brunswick we need more services, not less,” he says.

    Lack of consultation

    Bourgeois says the PC government failed to consult local people when it proposed cuts to rural hospitals and moved ahead with its plan to sell the historic Memramcook Institute.

    “That building is very important for especially Francophone communities across New Brunswick,” he says. “It’s been a pillar for our education, it’s where the University of Moncton started (and) it’s a building that has a lot of potential.”

    Bourgeois, who serves on a local committee that is working to preserve the building, says that when the Higgs government froze its spending on renovations in 2018, it claimed there were no plans afoot to revive the Institute.

    Bourgeois says, however, that between 30 and 40% of the building had potential tenants including the local municipality that wanted to rent the first floor to develop a community centre.

    He adds that when he met with the provincial minister responsible for the renovations, the minister wasn’t aware that anyone wanted to rent space in the building.

    “So, they took a decision before actually knowing the facts on the ground and I think that’s wrong, that’s not how you run a province.”

    Community development

    Bourgeois emphasizes that supporting local businesses in rural areas and removing barriers to their success also includes supporting communities in which people stick together and support each other.
    He says economic development has to be done in parallel with community development.

    “For me, for example, the feeling of coming back home and going to the corner store to fill up the gas tank and to be able to talk to the gas boy because I know him and then, to talk to the cashier because I went to school with her brother, for me, it says a lot about community building and…the lifestyle of living in a smaller community.”

    PC Carole Duguay says she’s the best candidate to fight for Sackville hospital and Memramcook Institute


    PC candidate Carole Duguay after her nomination in Memramcook

    Progressive Conservatives in Memramcook-Tantramar have officially nominated 52-year-old Carole Duguay to run as their candidate in the September 14th New Brunswick election.

    Duguay accepted the nomination today in Memramcook after pledging to fight to maintain full services at the Sackville Memorial Hospital and preserve the historic character of the Memramcook Institute.

    During an interview after the meeting, Duguay said she’s the best candidate to defend both causes.
    “Premier Higgs is most likely going to win this election,” she said, adding that she wants to be the voice within government speaking up for people’s main priorities.

    “People are saying Blaine Higgs is going in again,” Duguay repeated. “If they (voters) want to have their priorities listened to and they want a voice at the table, they need to vote for the Progressive Conservatives.”

    She said she realizes that Memramcook-Tantramar is normally a Liberal riding that happens to have elected Megan Mitton of the Green Party in the last election.

    “She is a wonderful representative,” Duguay said, “but unfortunately, being on the wrong side, the wrong party, you do not have the same voice at the table (and) I want to be that voice.”

    The PC candidate and her father Fortunat Duguay, who is serving as her campaign manager, both spoke about riding with Premier Higgs on his campaign bus last Wednesday as it travelled from Memramcook to Patterson’s restaurant in Sackville.

    They say that when Higgs was asked in Sackville about his support for the overnight closure of the hospital’s emergency room, he responded with an apology.

    “I’m sorry, I made a mistake,” Fortunat Duguay quoted Higgs as saying.

    “That takes a strong person to do that,” Duguay added.


    Duguay accepts nomination

    For her part, Carole Duguay said she asked Higgs on the bus about the government’s plan to sell the Memramcook Institute, site of the first Acadian university and a centre of Francophone history and culture.

    She said the Conservative leader told her there would be a clause in any potential sale agreement requiring a purchaser to respect and maintain the historical integrity and heritage value of the building including the chapel that survived when the original Collège Saint-Joseph burned in 1933.

    Duguay says the building, which has sat empty since 2016, needs to have a purpose, one that respects its heritage value and that would be one of her main priorities if she’s elected to sit with the PCs in the legislature.

    Duguay adds that she would also fight for improvements in mental health services, home health care and long-term care for the elderly.

    She told her nomination meeting that her status as a retired person with two grown-up daughters gives her an opportunity to work full-time on behalf of constituents.

    After practising family law for six years, Duguay spent an additional 21 years working as an investigations analyst for the federal prison system.

    She explained that her job involved supervising and analyzing investigations into the circumstances around such incidents as breaches of security inside penitentiaries or violations of parole outside them.

    NB election: Greens promise sweeping changes to fix health care ‘crisis’


    NB Green leader David Coon with local candidate Megan Mitton addressing reporters in Sackville

    New Brunswick’s Green Party leader is promising a revamped provincial health care system that would include improved mental health services, 40 new nurse practitioners, midwifery services in every region and eight new community health centres.

    David Coon says the changes would be paid for partly by cutting $100 million a year in government subsidies and tax breaks to big business and charging forestry companies $30 million more for the wood they cut on Crown lands.

    During an outdoor news conference on Wednesday near the Sackville hospital, Coon said he’s met with New Brunswickers from all over the province as well as health professionals such as nurse practitioners, nurses, paramedics and emergency room doctors who all say that health care is in crisis.

    “What is this crisis of care?” Coon asked. “We have to begin with a wholly inadequate mental health treatment system in this province that is failing everyone,” he said. “We have a virtual epidemic of depression and anxiety disorders in our schools, among our youth in every corner of this province right now and the system cannot handle it,” he added. “The wait times are excruciatingly long to get treatment and long to get diagnosis.”

    Coon also mentioned long wait times in emergency rooms, poor rural ambulance services, burnout among paramedics and nursing home workers as well as a looming shortage of nurses with more than 40 per cent of them set to retire over the next five years.

    “We have fundamental problems,” Coon said. “Putting duct tape over them as has been the practice of the last number of governments is not the solution. We need fundamental change in the health-care system, we need reconstructive surgery.”

    Green solutions

    Coon’s solutions include increasing the money available for mental health and addiction services over four years until it reaches nine per cent of the health-care budget. He explained that would mean spending an additional $30 million in the first year, $60 million in the second, $90 million in the third and $120 million in the fourth.

    “We will fundamentally move away from the solitary practice of physicians,” Coon said, “to a collaborative system where health professionals such as nurse practitioners, pharmacists and others work hand-in-hand collaboratively with physicians.”

    He said eight new community health centres along with 40 new nurse practitioner positions would facilitate the move to a collaborative system while easing wait times in emergency rooms.

    Coon also advocates giving pharmacists the power to diagnose and treat minor ailments as they can in other parts of Canada.

    “So that instead of using the expensive machinery of an ER and having eight, nine, 10 hours of wait in our city ERs, people will be able to go to the local pharmacist and get treated for minor but painful infections and so on and get their prescriptions right there in a matter of minutes,” he said.

    Financing the changes

    Coon said improvements to health care would be paid for partly by cutting $100 million a year in assistance, subsidies and tax breaks to profitable businesses like the TD Bank.

    “We cannot afford to give money or lucrative tax breaks to hugely profitable corporations,” Coon said, “nor can we continue to afford the token property tax bills charged to heavy industries like the oil refineries and the pulp mills of this province.”

    The Green leader added that another $30 million would come from charging forestry companies fair prices for the wood they harvest on Crown lands.

    “We’ve been earning very little from our forest resources and they’re extensive as we know and so, we will change that,” he said.

    “We’ll tackle the health crisis head on,” Coon concluded. “New Brunswickers will then be able to get the care they need and our health professionals will be able to deliver the care they’re trained to deliver.”

    Mitton on highway tolls

    Here is a story broadcast last week on CFTA, Tantramar community radio, 107.9 FM in Amherst:
    A New Brunswick Green Party candidate is defending her party’s plan to impose tolls on drivers entering the province on four-lane highways.

    Megan Mitton is running for the Greens in the riding of Memramcook-Tantramar which is on the border with Nova Scotia.

    She says the tolls charged to motorists on the Trans-Canada highway would help pay for another Green Party promise — improved public transportation to all parts of New Brunswick.

    However, Mitton says the highway tolls would have to be implemented carefully to avoid hurting people who drive back and forth, to and from Amherst:

    Mitton made her comments on highway tolls while campaigning in Sackville with federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

    The Greens are hoping to make a breakthrough in the riding when the New Brunswick election is held on September the 24th.

    Green and Liberal leaders use different political messages during Sackville hospital stop


    The leaders of the provincial Green and Liberal parties visited Sackville today to defend the local hospital, but David Coon and Kevin Vickers had very different political messages.

    Both made it clear they would not cut overnight emergency room services, close acute-care beds or cancel day surgeries as Premier Blaine Higgs proposed before changing his mind in February.

    But, while Coon outlined the details of a Green plan to decentralize health care, giving local hospital managers and staff more power, Vickers used his visit to warn that a vote for local Green candidate Megan Mitton would threaten Sackville’s hospital.

    “Megan is an extraordinary person (and) she’s wonderful,” Vickers told a small crowd of supporters standing on a lawn near the hospital, “but I’m telling you, if you vote Green, you are indirectly voting for the Conservative government and you’re voting to lose your hospital.”

    Coon, who had addressed a small group of his supporters near the hospital a few hours earlier, seemed to have anticipated Vickers’s remarks.

    “Using health-care reform as a political football has got to stop and we’ve already, once again, seen this happen in this election campaign,” Coon said.

    “Using health-care reform as a political football and instilling fear in people as a result, is no way to solve the very real challenges faced by our health-care system.”

    Green plan

    Coon gave details of the Green plan to fix problems that he said are at the root of many problems in the system.

    “The management of our health-care system has become so over-centralized,” Coon said, “it has lost touch with the needs and expectations of local communities and local people.”

    The Green leader argued that’s how what he called “the appalling plan” to cut services at six rural hospitals came to pass.

    “It didn’t make sense locally, which is why, understandably, there was overwhelming opposition to that plan which I joined as did my colleagues,” Coon said.

    He added that a Green government would restore local autonomy to hospital administrators and their staff.

    “There’ll be no more decisions handed down from on high in Fredericton by managers who have no direct connection to the hospital or the community health centre,” Coon added.

    “We will also establish community health boards to ensure local health-care services reflect the needs and expectations of the community.”


    Megan Mitton

    Coon’s words were echoed by Megan Mitton who is running for re-election in Memramcook-Tantramar.

    “Successive governments, both Liberals and Conservatives, have failed to listen to what people in rural areas need,” she said, “and failed to recognize that these ill-conceived plans would add strain to the already overburdened urban hospitals.”

    Mitton said she is listening to local concerns.

    “I am listening to the patient who has been admitted by their family doctor and been able to receive care here in Sackville close to home and not had to worry about transportation,” she said.

    She added she has also been listening to patients left in hallways at the Moncton hospital as well as to local people who have worked hard to raise money for Sackville Memorial.

    “I will continue to stand with you and fight for you and to ensure that we have the health-care services we need and deserve in our riding,” she concluded.

    Vickers’ 30-day pledge

    For his part, Liberal leader Kevin Vickers repeated the pledge he made earlier this week in Sussex to maintain services at rural hospitals.

    “I tell you that in the first 30 days of my taking the office of the premiership, I will direct both health authorities, in your case Horizon, that your hospital and the hospitals that were identified in the other communities will not be touched,” Vickers said.

    He added that in the last four to five years, more than 30 people’s lives were saved at the Sackville hospital.

    Vickers also argued that the hospital is not only important to the local economy, it’s instrumental in attracting new residents and businesses.


    Robert Gauvin, who is running in Shediac Bay-Dieppe with local Liberal candidate Maxime Bourgeois standing behind him, rear left

    Later, the Liberal leader introduced Robert Gauvin, the former Conservative cabinet minister, now running for the Liberals in the riding of Shediac Bay-Dieppe.

    “I remember when I ran in 2018 in Northern New Brunswick, Premier Higgs came there and said we are not going to touch your hospitals,” Gauvin said.

    “Well, you know what happened,” he added, referring to Higgs’s initial decision to back the hospital cuts.

    “Do you think all [Conservative] MLAs and ministers wanted this?” Gauvin asked. “He (Higgs) wanted this. He said, ‘We’re doing this, it’s good for the province, we’re doing this.'”

    Gauvin said he told Higgs on a Friday that the Conservatives would be lying to the people if they went ahead with the hospital cuts, but the premier was adamant.

    “On Sunday, he changed his mind,” Gauvin said. “What did he find out Saturday that he didn’t know before? So, it was just political, but you can’t play politics with people’s lives.”

    Gauvin ended by urging people to support Memramcook-Tantramar Liberal candidate Maxime Bourgeois.

    “So, right here, you have someone that will work for you,” he said, adding Bourgeois would join northerners, southerners, Francophones, Anglophones and First Nations people in the Liberal caucus and party.

    “He’ll be a great addition to the team,” Gauvin said.

However since 2015  I have opted to store my blog about suing the CROWN on the IMMI domain because the Irving Media dude Scott Agnew killed my original Google blog long ago.

    Unsealed documents shed light on days before judge stepped down from Matthew Raymond case

    Fred Ferguson was in 'untenable' position after meeting with junior member of defence team, defence says


    Hadeel Ibrahim· CBC News· Posted: Aug 31, 2020 7:00 AM AT

    Just before he stepped down as the judge in the Matthew Raymond case, Justice Fred Ferguson had an off-the-record meeting with a junior member of the defence team collecting evidence against him, according to court documents.

    Recently unsealed documents shed light on the events that came just before Ferguson was replaced on the murder trial with no explanation.

    The almost 200 pages of documents include an affidavit from former articling student Alex Pate, who said Ferguson took him aside and discussed evidence with him.

    Because he stepped down, the recusal application, including these allegations, became moot and were never proven or heard in court. When reached by phone Ferguson declined to comment "at this time."


    The events as they unfolded

    Raymond is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of two police officers and two civilians in August 2018 in Fredericton.

    He's accused of killing Fredericton Police Force constables Sara Burns and Robb Costello, and civilians Donnie Robichaud and Bobbie Lee Wright.

    His trial starts next month, but he has made dozens of court appearances since the shootings, most recently on Aug. 20, when a jury found him fit to stand trial. Ferguson had been the judge on that case for 17 months.

    On July 8, the defence team filed a recusal application alleging Ferguson showed bias and "injudicious comportment" in the Raymond case — and asked that he step down because of this.

    On July 17 Nathan Gorham and co-counsel Breana Vandebeek sent a letter to the court that was part of the sealed documents. In it they said after the media reported on the application, the defence received separate emails from two different people saying they had negative experiences with Ferguson last year.

    "In the circumstances, we do not believe that we can disregard the information we received," the letter said. "We believe we have an ethical obligation to obtain the information."


    Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice Tracey DeWare imposed a publication ban on the identity of both people when she unsealed the documents earlier this month.

    Both of them had filed Canadian Judicial Council complaints, but at least one of them was dismissed, documents said.

    The documents don't make it clear if the second complaint was dismissed or is still in dispute. The council did not respond to a request for information.

    The documents also say Ferguson was recused from both of these cases once the complaints were made.

    A 'hussy' allegation

    According to the documents, one of the people was alleging that in open court, Ferguson called her a "hussy."

    In the transcript of the hearing, however, in the place where Ferguson is alleged to have said that, he is instead quoted as saying the woman was "ah."


    The transcript from the Miramichi courthouse reads: "That she was ah making what people in the street would call booty calls to [redacted] while she was living with this other fella. Right?"

    In a second letter from defence sent on July 19 the defence said Pate, a member of the defence team who at the time had only been a lawyer for three weeks, was sent to Miramichi court to get an audio recording of this hearing to confirm what was said.
    I knew I should not be having this conversation. ​​
    - Alex Pate, lawyer.
    Attached to the letter was a sworn statement from Pate. In it, he said that when he arrived at the Miramichi courthouse on July 17 at around 2 p.m., Ferguson was there.

    According to Pate, Ferguson approached him and spoke to him. Pate joined Ferguson at a desk in an administrative area.  That's when "Justice Ferguson asked me why we were interested in the audio transcripts," Pate said.

    Pate answered that he didn't know, as Gorham didn't tell him.

    "[Ferguson] told me that [redacted] alleged that he called her a 'hussy' during a court appearance," Pate said in his affidavit. "When he heard about this, [Ferguson] explained, he had an assistant look through the transcripts to determine the validity of the complaint.

    "His assistant found nothing … He also insisted that an investigation had taken place and he was absolved of any wrongdoing.

    Pate said Ferguson said he wanted to "shed light on what took place."

    Pate said at that point "I was extremely nervous."

    "I knew I should not be having this conversation," he said in the affidavit.


    After the 'off-the-record' meeting, defence submitted a letter to court asking the chief justice to take over the recusal application. (Hadeel Ibrahim/CBC)

    Pate said that as he was paying for the CD of the recording, Ferguson told him this new evidence must be causing a delay in filing the defence's evidence in support of the recusal application.

    "He said, 'OK, but you know the Crown will be upset if you don't file today, because if they receive it next week, it won't be enough time for them to respond,'" Pate said in his affidavit.


    Pate said the meeting lasted about 15 minutes, after which he immediately called Gorham and explained what happened.

    In the July 19 letter, the defence asked that the chief justice take over this case and that Ferguson be recused because he "placed himself in an untenable position."

    "We were stunned by what we saw as an extremely serious contravention of judicial ethics," the letter read.

    The letter said that from the defence's perspective, Ferguson had an "off-the-record encounter" with Pate "to convey a message to the defence that there is nothing to be gained from using the [redacted] proceedings, and there is plenty to be lost, since the trial might well be adjourned."

    Judicial ethics



    Gabriel Bourgeois, a retired constitutional lawyer with the New Brunswick attorney general’s office, says it's important the public isn't left with the impression that lawyers and judges had made 'deals.' (CBC)

    There is a well-established rule that lawyers shouldn't have communication with judges about pending matters without the other side being present, and that applies equally to judges, said Gavin MacKenzie, author of Lawyers and Ethics: Professional Responsibility and Discipline.

    "It would be inappropriate for a judge to attempt to influence the outcome of a pending or contemplated recusal motion," said MacKenzie.


    He said the responsibility of the lawyer would be to end the discussion as soon as possible.
    Gabriel Bourgeois, a retired constitutional lawyer with the New Brunswick Attorney General's Office, said that generally, judges should never discuss evidence or have meetings with individual lawyers outside open court.

    "All discussions about evidence in a case has to be done in open court so that the public knows that this was not discussed in private and deals were not made."

    Although Pate's claims remain unproven, Bourgeois said if they are true, they are cause for concern.

    "If the judge knowingly attempted to prevent a lawyer from gathering relevant evidence in criminal proceeding before which he was presiding, my god, yes, it certainly deserves that the judge be recused."

    Bourgeois said even if it's not clear the judge was trying to interfere or dissuade, a meeting and discussion of evidence alone would be grounds for "straightforward recusal."

    "The judge should never be doing that, never. That is not done."

    Sealed with no warning

    The recusal application was meant to be heard on July 24. Instead, on that day, Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice Tracey DeWare appeared and said Ferguson had been replaced by Justice Larry Landry. She provided no explanation.

    Soon after, CBC News requested any documents related to Ferguson's recusal. On July 29, court clerk Andrea Hull said the documents had been sealed, and reasons were coming soon.

    On July 30, DeWare sent out a decision, including reasons for sealing the documents and an opportunity for the media and other parties to be heard on possibly unsealing them on Aug. 14.



    Nathan Gorham and co-counsel Breana Vandebeek said Justice Fred Ferguson's meeting with a junior member of their team was an 'extremely serious contravention of judicial ethics.' (Ed Hunter/CBC)

    In that decision, she said Ferguson stepped down to avoid "unsatisfactory distraction which could jeopardize the trial and jury selection," for the Raymond case.

    At the unsealing hearing that day, DeWare said she sealed the documents shortly after Ferguson stepped down, and did not think to write a decision until the media made further requests.

    Chief justice's defiance could prompt legal showdown, experts say

    David Smith went ahead with transfer of a judge without waiting for minister's OK

    Chief justice's defiance could prompt legal showdown, experts say

    David Smith went ahead with transfer of a judge without waiting for minister's OK


    Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Dec 11, 2017 6:48 PM AT



    Gabriel Bourgeois, a retired constitutional lawyer with the New Brunswick Attorney General’s Office, contends the issue should be debated in public. (CBC)
     
    A senior judge's open defiance of a provincial law should provoke a legal showdown on whether that law threatens the independence of the courts, according to two veteran lawyers.


    They say Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice David Smith's recent transfer of a judge — without the consent of the minister of justice required by law — should bring to a head the debate over recent amendments to the Judicature Act.

    The Liberals changed the law in May to give the justice minister a veto over Smith's power to transfer judges on his court.



    But last week Smith transferred Justice Thomas Christie from Saint John to Fredericton, saying he had waited 30 days for Justice Minister Denis Landry's decision and could not wait any longer.

    It revives a controversy over judicial independence that began almost two years ago.

    "The issue hasn't gone away," said Gavin MacKenzie, a Toronto litigator and author of Lawyers and Ethics: Professional Responsibility and Discipline.


    Premier Brian Gallant's cabinet could ask for a judicial review of Smith's decision or file a complaint against him to the Canadian Judicial Council.

    But said MacKenzie those options wouldn't address the underlying debate over the Judicature Act.

    He said the government should instead send the new sections of the law to the New Brunswick Court of Appeal for a reference hearing on whether they're unconstitutional, as Smith has claimed.

    "The issue is obviously still live so now would be the time," MacKenzie said.

    'Disappointing decision'

    The Justice Department wouldn't comment Monday on how it will respond to Smith's move.

    "We will be reviewing this disappointing decision and its implications," the department said in an email statement.

    Gabriel Bourgeois, a retired constitutional lawyer with the New Brunswick Attorney General's Office, agreed with MacKenzie that Smith's decision requires a public resolution.

    "This is a public debate," he said. "It should be debated in open court, where the public will hear and understand why the chief justice made the decision he made … and the minister of justice can explain as well what his interest is."

    Bourgeois said Smith has not given any reason for wanting to transfer Christie, and Landry has not given any clear reason for not consenting quickly.
    Now we can start debating a little bit more what these powers are all about, how they're exercised and, most importantly, the reasons why they're exercised.
    - Gabriel Bourgois, retired constitutional lawyer
    "It's no longer theoretical now, because there was a judge, a specific judge who was transferred," Bourgeois said.

    "That is good. Now we can start debating a little bit more what these powers are all about, how they're exercised and, most importantly, the reasons why they're exercised."

    Smith was vocal in criticizing the changes to the Judicature Act when they were introduced in February 2016, saying they represented a threat to judicial independence.

    Before the changes were passed in May 2017, Smith had the power to transfer Court of Queen's Bench judges unilaterally.

    The Liberals said that created a "revolving door" in which the federal government appointed Court of Queen's Bench judges to vacancies in smaller towns, only to see them transferred by Smith to larger cities.

    Delay causes 'disruptive' difficulties

    The issue resurfaced last month when Justice Thomas Christie recused himself from hearing a legal case against the province. He said he was in a conflict of interest because his rulings would affect the province at the same time the province could influence his transfer.

    Christie wrote in his recusal decision that when he was appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench in Saint John in 2013, Smith assured him he'd transfer him to Fredericton, where he lives, when a vacancy opened up.

    Smith told Landry on Nov. 6 he planned to transfer Christie, but Landry refused to consent quickly.

    He told Smith he wanted to consult the federal government on whether it was planning an appointment to fill the Fredericton vacancy.

    Rather than wait, Smith went ahead with the transfer Dec. 7.

    "As you are aware this delay is causing difficulties which are disruptive to the functioning of the court," Smith said in a letter to Landry, without identifying the disruption.

    "Given that 30 days has passed since my request, I therefore advise you that Justice Christie is advised immediately [transfer] to the Family Division in the Judicial District of Fredericton."

    No time limit set

    The law doesn't set a time limit by which a minister must endorse or reject a transfer.

    The Justice Department said in its statement Monday it didn't consent immediately to the transfer because it wanted to consult the federal government, which appoints Court of Queen's Bench judges.

    The statement said while Smith considered the transfer request urgent, there was no need for a new full-time judge in Fredericton until January.

    Bourgeois said it's debatable whether Christie's wish for a transfer is enough to justify Smith's decision.

    "I can quickly say the judge will be happier, will be in his environment, and will function better," he said. "I can debate it on the other side and say, 'Is that how the chief justice manages his court, on personal promises? On what basis?'

    "There has to be some sort of objective standard for the exercise of these powers and normally these standards would be in written form."

    'Place of residence' a wrinkle

    Lorne Sossin, the dean of law at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, said Smith's action "casts some confusion" on the legislation.

    The fact that Smith sought Landry's permission on Nov. 6 "suggests he accepts the legitimacy of the legislation," while his decision to transfer Christie without consent "suggests he reserves authority to his office ultimately to make the call."

    Sossin said there's a wrinkle to Christie's transfer that gives both sides "a work-around."

    The law says a justice minister must consent to a chief justice changing a judge's "place of residence." But Saint John was never officially designated as Christie's "place of residence" when he was appointed in 2013.

    "If he has no residence already declared, then this is not a transfer at all," Sossin said, "which begs the question of why Chief Justice Smith requested approval in the first place."

    Growing strength of N.B. third parties being tested in provincial election

    Support for parties besides Liberal and Progressive Conservative has climbed 484 per cent in past 3 elections



    Voters will head to the polls on Sept. 14 for the provincial election. (CBC)

    Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs's election pitch to return majority government rule to New Brunswick after two years of a minority legislature has directly put the question to voters of whether their growing embrace of third parties over the last decade has been a whim or a fundamental shift in their politics.

    UNB political scientist J.P. Lewis believes the answer voters deliver on that question on Sept. 14 will be a turning point for New Brunswick one way or another.

    "I would say one of the slightly overlooked stories right now, because obviously there's a lot of other things going on, is just a test of 2018," said Lewis about voters' view of the minority government they delivered two years ago.


    "The collapse of the [two-party] system, will that hold up?"


    UNB political scientist J.P. Lewis believes the upcoming provincial election will show whether recent growth in third-party support in New Brunswick is fragile or has sunk roots and permanently changed the political landscape. (Graham Thompson/CBC)

    The combined popular vote for New Brunswick's two main political parties has been in steady decline for three general elections in a row. In 2018, it sank below 70 per cent for only the second time in the last century.
    Since Progressive Conservatives under Bernard Lord and Liberals under Shawn Graham split 94 per cent of the vote in the 2006 New Brunswick general election — each getting 47 per cent — there has been a steady shift in voter support away from both.

    The Green and People's Alliance parties fought their first provincial election in 2010 and, along with the NDP, attracted 59,992 votes that year.

    In 2014, the trio upped that total to 80,795. In 2018, they increased it again to 112,085, almost all of it at the expense of Liberals and Progressive Conservatives.

    The 2018 vote totals were strong enough to elect three Green and three People's Alliance MLAs, and force the province into a minority government.


    Higgs is betting voters prefer the "stability" of majority government and called a snap summer election to seek that mandate.  


    Former New Brunswick Liberal Leader Shawn Graham won New Brunswick's 2006 election in a two-party nail-biter that saw PCs and Liberals split 94 per cent of the popular vote. In 2018, support for the two parties dropped to 69.5 per cent. (Archives)

    "It's completely my decision," said Higgs in announcing the election Aug. 17. "I'm the one who asked permission to dissolve the legislature and I'm the one who had to weigh all the facts leading up to this.  I'm the one who made the final call."

    People's Alliance leader Kris Austin thinks Higgs has misjudged the public mood and has underestimated the strength of the decade-long shift in support to third parties.

    "I think most people are very pleased with the makeup of the legislature in terms of it being a minority government," said Austin in an interview.

    "Mr. Higgs is going to go out and he's going to say, you need stability with a majority government, and we're going to say you need accountability with a minority government.  We have proven over the last two years that we can provide both.

    "I'm hard pressed to believe that New Brunswick as a whole will return a majority to either Mr. Higgs or [Liberal Party Leader] Mr. Vickers."


    People's Alliance leader Kris Austin believes New Brunswick voters support minority government and will stick with his party on election day. (CBC)

    The Progressive Conservative party alone has lost more than 50,000 voters since the 2006 election, most of those to third parties.

    Jamie Gillies, who teaches political science at St. Thomas University. thinks the key to whether Higgs can achieve a majority government rests with getting some of those back, especially ones that fled to the People's Alliance.

    "If there is a PC vote surge, it will likely be at the expense of the [People's Alliance]," Gillies said in an email.

    "Vote splits between the PCs and the PA might prove to be a determining factor as to whether Higgs forms a robust majority government."

    But dissatisfaction with majority governments is one of the factors that fuelled the rise of third parties in New Brunswick in the first place. 


    Green Party Leader David Coon saw support for his party jump 40 per cent in 2014 and another 80 per cent in 2018 as New Brunswick voters increasingly embraced alternatives to the province's main two parties. (Maria Burgos/CBC)

    The last three majorities elected to run the province — two Liberal and one Progressive Conservative — were not overly popular. Each was defeated after a single term in office.

    Lewis said because this time voters are being asked directly if they prefer majority or minority government, the strength or weakness of third-party voting will reveal much about the true strength of the province's traditional two-party system.

    "I look at more the aggregate of the Tory and Liberal vote," said Lewis.

    "If it stays under 80 per cent, I think that reflects we're moving in a certain direction in a province that comparatively to other provinces, has had an incredibly stable party system."

    NB Power rate-hike holiday not an election gimmick, PCs insist

    'No, no, no, no, no no. Absolutely not,' says party spokesperson


    Robert Jones· CBC News· Posted: Sep 02, 2020 6:00 AM AT



    Progressive Conservative candidate Mike Holland says NB Power did not want to impose a rate increase this summer, despite its own financial problems, and he supported the decision as natural resources and energy development minister. (Kirk Pennell/CBC News)

    A multimillion-dollar decision by NB Power not to activate a pending 1.9 per cent rate increase in August saved the Higgs government a potential election irritant with voters.

    But Mike Holland, who agreed to the plan last month as the province's natural resources and energy development minister, said deferring the rate hike had nothing to do with politics.

    "No, no, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not," Holland said on Tuesday.


    It has been common practice in previous elections for political parties to ignore NB Power's financial well-being in favour of courting votes, but Holland is adamant that is not happening this year.

    Liberals promised rate freeze in 2018

    In 2010, the Progressive Conservatives promised a three-year rate freeze at the utility if elected and made it stick when they formed government, even as NB Power was going $1 billion over budget on the refurbishment of the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station.

    In 2018, Liberals promised their own rate freeze on NB Power residential and small business customers, despite significant financial problems at the utility, but they were defeated before being able to implement it.


    Former New Brunswick premier Brian Gallant campaigned to freeze NB Power rates for residential and small business customers during the 2018 election but was defeated before he could implement the plan. (Shane Magee/CBC)

    Holland, who is running for re-election in the riding of Albert said this year's deferred rate hike, which amounts to a rate freeze, is a sensible response by NB Power to the economic damage caused to its customers by the COVID-19 pandemic, not an election gimmick.

    Utility sought rate increase before pandemic

    "I would say it was born of their initiative, but it was received well because we were all looking to find ways to make sure we could keep the ship steady as it relates to the average New Brunswicker getting through this," Holland said.

    Prior to the COVID-19 health crisis, NB Power had been seeking approval from its regulator, the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board, to impose a 1.9 percent rate increase on customers beginning April 1.


    A hearing was held over seven days in February but with a decision from the EUB "imminent" on March 19, the province declared a state of emergency to deal with the emerging pandemic.

    Former NB Power president Gaetan Thomas responded by writing to the EUB asking for the rate increase application to be suspended indefinitely while the utility and the province decided how to proceed.

    "NB Power will, in consultation with the government of New Brunswick, determine an appropriate time for a decision on this matter," said the letter.

    No increase until March

    Last month on Aug. 5, the utility made contact with the EUB again, saying it needed to know for planning purposes if it would receive all or part of the rate increase and asked for a final ruling on it. 
    However, it also requested if it were to win, the increase not be imposed on customers until next March

    "Despite the progress made in New Brunswick in minimizing the spread of the virus … NB Power recognizes the economic impacts continue," wrote utility lawyer John Furey.


    The utility acknowledges it talked the matter over with the Higgs government prior to the election call but insists its request to forgo the rate hike until next spring, which could cost it up to $18 million in lost revenue between August and next March, was its idea alone. 
     

    NB Power's nuclear generating station at Point Lepreau got bogged down in a renovation that went $1 billion over budget at the same time the PCs imposed a three-year rate freeze on the utility they had promised in the 2010 election. (Submitted) (Submitted/NB Power)

    "We discuss with our shareholder many issues related to the utility regularly, so in this case we would have assured [ourselves] the government was comfortable with our direction before we filed with the EUB," utility spokesperson Marc Belliveau said in an email to CBC News about the plan to win the rate hike now, but put off collection until next year.

    At the time of NB Power's Aug. 5 proposal, election talk in New Brunswick was already well advanced.

    Premier Blaine Higgs told reporters on Aug. 4 that he was seriously pondering a general election call to avoid three October byelections.  On Aug. 8, Progressive Conservatives nominated five key candidates, including Higgs, in case the decision came quickly.

    The actual election call, following failed negotiations with opposition parties to avoid one, was made Aug. 17 for a Sept. 14 vote.

    It was in those politically charged days NB Power raised its desire with the Higgs government to obtain a rate increase ruling from the EUB. But Belliveau said the proposal not to charge customers with any increase it might be awarded until next year was not pushed by the province.

     
    NB Power says it discussed a pending rate increase with the Higgs government on the eve of the provincial election in August, but the idea to defer collecting it from customers until next March was proposed by it. (Michael Heenan/CBC)

    "The decision to defer the 2020/21 rate increase until March 31, 2021, was an NB Power management initiative to support customers, which was approved by the NB Power board of directors," wrote Belliveau.

    "NB Power then notified the shareholder of its decision before submitting the motion to the EUB."

    Solution still needed, says Holland 

    Deferring a rate increase would appear contrary to instructions delivered to NB Power last November by Holland to get its financial affairs in order and pay down a significant portion of its $4.9 billion debt load by 2027.

    "This target should come first and foremost in utility planning," Holland wrote in a mandate letter to the utility.

    NB Power executives, including new president Keith Cronkhite, told the February rate hearing the utility took Holland's letter seriously and considered itself on a deadline to retire debt, with annual rate hikes a critical part of that solution.

    Instead, after COVID-19 struck late last winter, NB Power posted a loss for the fiscal year ended in March for the first time in a decade and watched the prospect for an April 1 rate increase evaporate.


    Holland said he still wants to see NB Power solve its financial problems but not by raising rates this particular year.

    "We're going through a situation that is, I guess, uncharted territory I think nobody would disagree we would hope we could come through the other side of that in the relatively near future," said Holland.
    "I am pleased the utility was able to read and react and put measures in place to limit the stress and the burden on the ratepayers."

    The EUB has scheduled a hearing for Sept. 10 into NB Power's request to receive its rate decision but defer implementing it.

    I see this outlet is working H A R D with the doctor to try and S M E A R Higgs. What coincidental timing! Shouldn't be allowed during an election! D E F U N D this outlet!


    Jason Inness 
    Reply to @Andy Bernard: News about an ongoing story shouldn't be allowed during an election? I'm sorry, but a Fifth Estate article was probably started weeks/months ago, and was scheduled to come out before the election was even called.


    Terry Tibbs 
    Reply to @Andy Bernard:
    The "truth" of the matter is: if there is "reasonable doubt", that the accused (by Mr Higgs) did not cause this, then it is yet another case where Mr Higgs engaged his mouth BEFORE his brain.
    AND with a half decent lawyer, that doctor is in for a multi-million pay day, of our money, thanks to Mr Higgs. 
     

    Andy Bernard
    Reply to @Terry Tibbs: Premier Higgs never named him as the source though if I remember correctly.


    Ben Haroldson 
    Reply to @Andy Bernard: You sure their isn't some other reason for defending higgs in this case?


    JoeBrown 
    Reply to @Andy Bernard: Your memory is faulty, since he stated it was a doctor and no attempt was made to muzzle the FB poster whose spouse worked in contract tracing. Try reading the article since the investigation took a month and the doc feared for his life. SHould that be allowed to continue or should inconvenient facts come out?


    Andy Bernard 
    Reply to @JoeBrown: I don't have any feelings of sympathy for that doctor. He has shown no contrition for what he did by going to Montreal and then not isolating. He has even tried to use the r word to gain sympathy.. he's pathetic.


    JoeBrown  
    Reply to @Andy Bernard: YOur emotional state is irrelevant. THe rest of us rely on facts.


    Lou Bell
    Reply to @Andy Bernard: And from what's in the story , his defence is He may have gotten it in the ER form someone at the Hospital ! Shouldn't there be a record of his looking after and contacting that someone , or is it a " Phantom Patient " ?


    Ben Haroldson  
    Reply to @Lou Bell: We will find out, with our tax money, in court. Should dump higgs and let him fight this on his own


    JoeBrown  
    Reply to @Lou Bell: THe investigator determined the facts but no one can publicly state people's names except Higgs in a sly way can allude to a name and not attempt to deal with the contract tracer who leaked it to the spouse who publicly outed. Higgs didn't make any outcry about that problem..

    Certain people seem to blame vickers for the election which is not the case even if i'm i not going to vote for him the person that called the election is higgs .why because he couldn't have everything his way two steps forward one step back very unpredictable premier.in my opinion

    You do realize, we might not have an election in 2 weeks, "The Bumbler", Mr Higgs, might break out his song and dance routine, and change his mind. We could just have a covid 19 outbreak. 



    Andy Bernard
    Reply to @valmond landry: Maybe we should be thankful that we live in a place that has done well to contain COVID-19 and be thankful that we can have an election and have our democracy function. Who cares why he called it, it was his choice and it's rights that after 2 years, New Brunswickers have their voices heard.

    I live in a province where the former Attorney General was arrested last week in Ontario on a Canada wide warrant for defrauding over $700,000, where the former assistant to New Brunswick's Governor General has been arrested for defrauding NBers of over $700,000 and where Premier Higgs incorrectly called a doctor in Campbellton "patient zero" in a covid outbreak causing him to receive threats from the community.
    Higgs shot from the hip to ruin a doctors life, ruined family businesses, messed up the border with Nova Scotia and can't come up with a storyline which does not make him appear incompetent. Meanwhile our province suffers a further credit downgrade from rating agencies.

    Maybe so, but if there is the least little bit of doubt he was the cause, a high dollar lawyer will turn that into a multi-million dollar pay day of our money. Thank you Mr Higgs.

    Reply to @Dave Shimla:
    Excepting, Atcon is long past, and at the moment it comes down to a blabbermouth, who is going to cost us a bunch of money because he does not know when to keep his mouth shut, who is looking for us to vote for him.
    Now, as to "government waste", or the shenanigans over at NB Power, Mr Higgs has had 2 years to attempt to straighten that stuff out and what did he deliver?
    I believe the term is "SFA"



    Dave Shimla 
    Reply to @Terry Tibbs: agreed but the liberals last term was 4 years of SFA as well...neither party is any good but better than the rest of the choices :(

    Saint John Harbour, the 'most interesting' race in the province

    J.P. Lewis says winning Saint John Harbour is crucial to majority government


    Connell Smith· CBC News· Posted: Sep 03, 2020 8:00 AM AT



    Liberal Gerry lowe, right, speaking to PC Leader Blaine Higgs in March. Lowe's decision to leave provincial politics opens up the race in Saint John Harbour. (Jacques Poitras, CBC)

    Saint John Harbour is a riding known for close calls.

    In 2010, it was won by the Progressive Conservatives by just seven votes.

    The Liberals won it back in 2014 by a 71-vote margin.


    In 2018, Liberal Gerry Lowe carried it by a mere 10 votes.

    UNB political scientist J.P. Lewis jokes there aren't many other places in Canada where a minivan full of voters can flip a riding.

    And while the last 15 years have seen Saint John Harbour traded back and forth between the two major parties, for 14 years before 2005 it was solidly New Democrat, home to party leader Elizabeth Weir.

    Factor in a Green vote that has grown steadily each election, along with the traditionally low voter turnout in this inner city riding, and it gets hard to make predictions.

    Saint John Harbour encompasses the central peninsula, Waterloo Village, and parts of the north end, along with those areas of the lower west side closest to the harbour.


    PC Candidate Arlene Dunn says the next government needs to look at property tax reform. (Dunn's the one, Facebook)

    It includes several of the city's lowest-income neighbourhoods and the uptown, which has a growing population and a vibrant arts and restaurant scene.


    Adding to the difficulty predicting which way the riding will go, none of the major party candidates who offered in 2018 are reoffering this time around.

    Lowe, a former city councillor who made no secret of his dissatisfaction with provincial party politics, is now considering whether to run again for city council in 2021.

    Alice McKim, a teacher at Saint John High, has stepped in as candidate for the Liberals.
    Lowe's main opponent in 2018, PC Barry Ogden pulled out of the running for the party nomination at the 11th hour.

    Arlene Dunn, who has spent much of her career working with building trades unions, then picked up the PC party's nomination by acclamation.

    The Greens have Brent Harris, new to politics and to the party.


    The NDP has Courtney Pyrke, also new to politics, as is Tony Gunn, candidate for the People's Alliance.

    There are two independents running, Mike Cyr and Arty Watson.

    Of the seven candidates, only Watson has run before.


    Liberal candidate Alice McKim stepped in after Lowe decided not to run. (NB Liberal Association)
     
    The key local issues described by the candidates are the same ones that took Lowe to Fredericton two years ago: a new school and community centre for the south end of the central peninsula, and reforms to the property tax system, which sees money drained off by the provincial government and regarded as favouring heavy industry at the expense of homeowners.

    As premier, Higgs announced a review of the property tax system but has yet to reveal plans for any revisions.

    Dunn has acknowledged the importance of the property tax issue to the riding.


    "We need to look at that and overhaul that potentially," she said. "Don't know what that looks like yet, but I've got some ideas around that, that hopefully I can discuss with the premier at some point."
    Dunn said she's "100 per cent for" the new south end school.

    She lives outside the city in the community of Willow Grove, but said she spent much of her career working in the riding,  regularly helping people with issues such as drug and alcohol addiction.
    Liberal McKim is more forceful when it comes to the issue of tax reform.

    "I'm business friendly, but if you're running a big business and pulling down hundred- million-dollar profits, then you know I'm coming for you tax-wise," said McKim.

    Tax reform and poverty are also identified as key issues by the Green, NDP and People's Alliance candidates.


    "I think we've been kind of hamstrung by certain tax laws and by assessment issues and things like that," said Gunn, an accountant, running for the Alliance. "I think if those issues were dealt with, I think you would really see the area take off."

    Green candidate Brent Harris is founder of the Saint John Tool Library. The library is a social enterprise, an organization that sells memberships but also does volunteer work such as fixing up homes for people in need. Along with Industrial tax reform, he's pressing for affordable, livable housing and funding for public transit.

    Opponents Courtney Pyrke and Alice McKim both serving with Harris on boards overseeing the tool library's operations.

    "To me it's amazing," said Harris. "I mean there's been some derisive stuff on Twitter from friends and I'm like, OK, that's just how politics go. But for the most part I'm like: these are people who care about issues."

    Pyrke, a PhD student, grew up in the NDP stronghold of Hamilton, Ontario, and is a longtime party supporter, especially on issues like "fair" taxation, access to health care, and assistance for students struggling with debt loads.

    Independent Arty Watson said he is concerned with social issues such as affordable housing development, a living wage, funding for public transit and the creation of more nursing home beds in the province.


    Mike Cyr, the other independent, is a barber and part time standup comic.

    He said he's interested in fighting poverty and in re-establishing film and television credits to revive the industry in New Brunswick.

    Like Dunn, he lives outside the riding, but said it is a temporary measure. He's moved to assist elderly parents.

    He too works in the city centre and spends most of his time there.

    Lewis, the political scientist, said the short campaign is giving the candidates very little time to sell themselves.

    And the snap election meant months of preparation time for all the parties has been lost.


    He said Saint John Harbour is one of the few seats in the province that both the Liberals and Conservatives have a real shot at winning, and it's crucial to either party in forming a majority government.

    In this particular election, he said, it can safely be called a bellwether riding.

    "I think it's the most interesting riding to watch in the province," said Lewis.

    BTW Mon Ami Roger Richard is running again

    August 31st, 2020
    Dear fellow citizens,
    Our natural environment has no voice in our current decision-making
    process.  We saw this during the shale gas issue, and we see it now
    with smart meters and 5G technology.  Also, given the current spraying
    season here in New Brunswick, we cannot forget to mention glyphosate.
    Unfortunately, these are just a few examples of how we are left out.

    We, the people of this province, can see this happening but we are
    being quietly and subtly excluded from important decisions that
    concern and affect all of us.  I am therefore taking advantage of this
    election campaign to exercise the right to speak to you, since it’s
    the only time this is possible.

    Systems, regardless of the kind, are becoming more and more complex.
    This leads to the illusion that we ordinary citizens are unable to
    question or participate in decision-making because we are not
    sufficiently informed or intelligent enough to “understand”.  It is
    therefore strongly suggested to leave these decisions to the so-called
    experts, public servants and politicians.  Sometimes they are named
    the Party’s Caucus.

    Furthermore, there are countless other reasons for not participating
    in the decision-making process: The required time to get informed, the
    costs involved, the risk of losing one’s job or seeming alarmist are
    among some of them.

    So, in its paternalistic fashion, government will designate an
    “expert” who will “consult” us and then produce a “report”.  A good
    example of this kind of attitude is the report published by Dr Louis
    Lapierre on the shale gas issue.  This same process is coming with
    time-of-day billing for electricity.  For your information, the
    time-of-day rate structure will increase our power bill.  This is why
    it is important for NB Power and government to install smart meters.

    We want to believe the environmentalists who are all-too happy to tell
    us that our transition towards « smart » technology will save the
    environment. Yet, why do all these expensive so-called « smart »
    devices become so quickly obsolete or are simply not reparable?  You
    have no doubt heard about the children and marginalized people who
    work in the mines and factories to produce these gadgets?  So, thanks
    to their appalling working conditions and hard labour, we can simply
    maintain our lifestyles without worry?  A lifestyle that is simply not
    sustainable by our planet?

    Everything revolves around money and jobs.  The environment,
    therefore, has no chance of having a voice at the Legislature.

    Respectfully yours,

    Roger Richard
    Independent candidate for Kent North.

    2 northern mayors resigning to take on new roles at CCNB

    Bathurst Mayor Paolo Fongemie and Edmundston Mayor Cyrille Simard appointed to vice-president roles at CCNB


    Gail Harding· CBC News· Posted: Sep 03, 2020 1:43 PM AT



    Edmundston Mayor Cyrille Simard and Bathurst Mayor Paolo Fongemie are both leaving their municipal government roles after accepting vice-president appointments with CCNB. (Cyrille Simard/Twitter and Paolo Fongemie/City of Bathurst )

    Two city mayors in northern New Brunswick will now be working together in leadership roles at Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick and will resign from their positions in municipal government.

    Both Bathurst Mayor Paolo Fongemie and Edmundston Mayor Cyrille Simard were appointed to vice-president positions Wednesday with the French-language community college, Fongemie as vice-president of administration services and Simard as vice-president of development.

    With the new jobs, both men say they will end their terms as mayor of their cities when the city councils complete the budget process this fall.



    While Simard, who has has been mayor in Edmundston since 2012, was not going to run again, his tenure as mayor was extended when the May municipal elections were cancelled for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Simard has been self-employed for the past 20 years in training and the education sector.

    "So it's a new change. I had a job before and I was my own boss, and now I'm joining a very important organization for New Brunswick and for all the francophone communities specifically."
    But Simard said he's proud of what he did as mayor.

    "It was a very very exciting adventure in my life being able to support all the community, all the businesses around in achieving their goals.

    "You're there to create conditions for the population and for the economy and for the society to improve the quality of life also."


    Fongemie, who was elected mayor in 2016, said he was able to fulfil his duties in that role and as the director of the CCNB Bathurst Campus.

    "My new responsibilities make it so that a number of elements related to my position are incompatible with my duties as mayor. It is an unfortunate situation, but one where I recognize a choice must be made," he said in a news release issued by the city.

    Fongemie said the budget process is important to see through until it is complete.

    "This was a most difficult decision to make, but I owe fairness to the citizens of this wonderful city who have offered so much support to me through my mandate."

    Sadly , a few years ago the Community College system was made a Crown Corporation much like N.B. Power and Service N.B. is ; now most of their staffing is based on nepotism . Hiring based on who you know , and never on what you know . Welcome to N.B. ; the ONLY bilingual province in Canada , and a failed social experiment .

    Acadians on Team Higgs say PCs in northern N.B. want in

    Higgs's shot at majority may make him more attractive to francophone voters


    Rachel Cave· CBC News· Posted: Sep 04, 2020 7:06 AM AT



    PC candidate Jean-Gérard Chiasson is running in the riding of Shippagan-Lamèque-Miscou. (Radio Canada)

    Progressive Conservative candidate Jean-Gérard Chiasson says he has taken some heat for aligning with Blaine Higgs in the riding that was abandoned by the party's only francophone deputy.

    "I've been accused of being a traitor. I've been accused of being anti-francophone," said Chiasson who is running in the riding of Shippagan-Lamèque-Miscou.

    But he doesn't let that stop him from making his pitch.


    "I'm going from places to places with big speakers ... and I'm telling everybody, 'We have to be in the government. We have to be represented as francophones. We have to be there.'"It's a strategy that just might work, says Roger Ouellette, professor of political science at the University of Moncton.

    The PCs are leading in the polls and are in a strong position to win a majority on Sept. 14, polls suggest.

    "Higgs has a path to a majority victory without the francophones," said Ouellette.

    "So the question is: Do we want to be on the sidelines or do we want to be in the room. That's one of the ballot questions for the francophones."

    Ouellette said its also works in Higgs's favour that he's surrounded by francophone advisers, including PC party president Claude Williams, chief of staff, Louis Leger and PC campaign veteran Paul D'Astous, who's also been recruiting for the party.



    Qualified candidates

    Ouellette gives them credit for helping Higgs attract qualified candidates in the north, including Joanne Bérubé Gagné in Edmundston-Madawaska Centre, Marie-Eve Castonguay in Madawaska Les Lacs-Edmundston, and Diane Carey in Tracadie-Sheila.


    Diane Carey is the PC candidate for the riding of Tracadie-Sheila. (Submitted/Diane Carey)

    Tracadie-Sheila voted PC for two decades before the riding was redrafted. It went Liberal in 2014 and again, in 2018.

    "It's just unfortunate that we don't have more voices from northern New Brunswick that are there to advise the premier," said Carey, who recently met with Higgs.

    "The conversation that I had with the premier was very positive and I don't have any doubt that we're going to work well together," she said.

    'Problem is the leader'

    New Brunswick's Acadian Society, La Société de l'Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick, made a point of releasing some harsh criticism of Higgs less than two weeks before election day.
     

    Alexandre Cedric Doucet, president of the New Brunswick Acadian Society, said they don't have a problem with the PC party, it's the leader, Blaine Higgs. (Submitted/Alexandre Cedric Doucet)

    President Alexandre Doucet said it's no secret that under Higgs, the PCs are struggling to make progress with the francophone electorate.
    "We don't have a problem with the party," Doucet told the CBC. "The problem is the leader."


    Doucet said francophones are wary of Higgs' intentions and haven't forgotten his involvement with the Confederation of Regions party, even though that was 30 years ago.

    He adds they don't like his collaboration with the People's Alliance or any talk about lowering language requirements in the public service, a topic that surfaced during discussions about the paramedic shortage.

    Doucet said Higgs could help his image by endorsing the creation of a standing committee that would depoliticize the implementation of the Official Languages Act but the SANB says Higgs did not commit.

    Competence has been shown

    Language isn't the issue, says PC candidate Mathieu Caissie. He said that's not what he's hearing as he speaks to constituents in Shediac Bay-Dieppe.

    Caissie said people are talking about healthcare and seniors' homes, COVID-19 and keeping the border closed.
     

    Mathieu Caissie, PC candidate in the riding of Shediac Bay-Dieppe, said constituents are talking about more than language when he speaks with them. (Submitted/Mathieu Caissie)

    Higgs has shown his competence he said.
    Caissie is a passionate promoter of Acadian culture and sees no paradox in running as a red Tory.


    "The Progressive Conservatives, historically speaking, have done a lot for the francophones," said Caissie.

    "After Louis J. Robichaud, it was really Richard Hatfield who put into place the Official Languages Act."

    PCs support francophones

    He also points out that New Brunswick joined the International Organization of La Francophonie in 1977. That's when former Premier Richard Hatfield was about midway through his four PC majority governments.

    "When the languages act was reviewed, it was Bernard Lord," said Caissie. "A Progressive Conservative leader."
     
    "And, I was actually an advisor named to Paris for the International Francophonie by the Alward government, a PC government. So, the PCs have done a lot for francophones and I would say even more than the Liberals."

    Jean-Pierre Ouellette knows the history well. A member of the Hatfield cabinet, he was elected three times in Madawaska Les Lacs, where he now supports Marie-Eve Castonguay as the PC candidate for Madawaska Les Lacs-Edmundston.
    "I'm a Progressive Conservative and I had no regrets," said Ouellette.


    "Because more of the advancement for francophones was with the Progressive Conservatives."

    Ouellette said he's confident there will be francophone MLAs sitting in PC majority caucus.
    He likes the chances for Joanne Bérubé Gagné in Edmundston-Madawaska Centre and Roland Michaud in Victoria-La Vallée.

    Another interesting race is Moncton East, where PC candidate Daniel Allain is challenging the Liberal incumbent, Monique LeBlanc. Allain worked in the Premier's Office under Lord and Alward.
    He's also a Dieppe city councillor.

    Scrapped health reforms linger over Sussex campaign, with hospital's fate a top concern

    PCs say ER service cuts off table, but opposition parties dubious of Higgs’s commitment


     Colin McPhail· CBC News· Posted: Sep 05, 2020 7:00 AM AT

    Seven months ago a crowd gathered outside the Sussex Health Centre to protest significant health-care reforms the Progressive Conservative government had planned for six small-town hospitals across New Brunswick.

    A lot has happened since February, but Apohaqui resident Jill Beaulieu remembers well the three days spent in frigid temperatures. Beaulieu was initially concerned about losing overnight emergency room service, but the more she listened, the more red flags appeared.

    "This plan has many changes, and I became equally concerned with plans that basically would involve closing active hospital beds and turning our hospital into an extended-care facility," Beaulieu told CBC News this week.


    The plan to reduce ER hours and convert acute-care beds into long-term care at hospitals in Sussex, Sackville, Grand Falls, Caraquet, Perth-Andover and Saint-Anne-de-Kent created immense political strife. The PCs lost their deputy minister and a Vitalité Health Network board member also resigned.
    The pushback from the opposition and the public was vehement, and in less than a week the premier scrapped the plan. Blaine Higgs cited poor communication, lack of consultation and a messy rollout plan in his reasons.

    In the months to follow, the PC leader committed to not reducing ER hours on several occasions, including a campaign stop in Sussex on Tuesday.

    Yet the issue persists. And not only does it persist, the future of health care in Sussex is the main election issue for the riding of Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins.

    "There was no resolution," Beaulieu said, citing the cancelled health-care summit to discuss a long-term vision for rural health care.

    "There's a feeling, for me at least, of this unfinished business."


    The trust factor

    Sussex Mayor Marc Thorne said he knows health care is top of mind for the community, despite hearing the reassurance from Higgs. He said the reforms extended well beyond a reduction in ER hours, saying primary health care for the area was at stake.

    "I've been very clear that I remain concerned because the same folks that made the decisions about what the reforms will look like in February are, in fact, the people that are sitting around the table today," Thorne said.

    Opposition parties looking to unseat the Tories have been keen to suggest a Higgs majority could jeopardize local health services.

    "People don't really trust this government," said Liberal candidate Cully Robinson, a former educator and a Sussex resident who ran for the Yukon Liberals in 2011.

    "That's because I ask people. I say, 'Do you think we can trust this government to maintain a full suite of services at our hospital if they gain a majority?' And the answer is always emphatically no.

    "Mr. Higgs is addicted to austerity."

    Robinson said any cuts to the hospital not only impedes access to primary health care but economic growth by making it tougher to attract doctors, other professionals, new families and services.

    The Liberal candidate said aid for small businesses in the form of working capital and effective startup programs is needed, and he said fracking, if done safely, could be a job creator as the province transitions into a green economy.

    Newcomer takes PC reins

    Longtime PC MLA Bruce Northrup held the riding with ease since he was first elected in 2006, securing at least half of the votes cast in the past four elections. But Northrup, who opposed the health reforms, has retired from politics, and Tammy Scott-Wallace won the nomination.

    While Scott-Wallace is a newcomer to politics, she's a familiar name in the area after working as a journalist there for 25 years. She left Brunswick News in 2019 and opened her own communications company.

    She said the idea to seek public office originated when community members came to her with their concerns about  hospital cuts. She told CBC News she shares the same values Higgs does and respected the decision "to not only reverse but say they were wrong and they were mistaken."

    But the issue continues to dog her campaign, despite her and her leader's insistence service reductions aren't coming.


    "I'm telling people there will not be a reduction in ER hours and there will not be a reduction in acute care beds," Scott-Wallace said.

    On the issue of trust, she said Higgs's commitment isn't a sudden campaign pledge to appease voters; he's been consistent on the matter for months. She said transparency in government "is vital to ensuring trust among the people," adding any discussions on the hospital's future must include the public and health-care providers.

    Scott-Wallace said other key issues include economic development in the region and continuing the recovery after the loss of the potash mine and more than 400 jobs in 2016.

    She said developing natural resources, such as natural gas, wind power and geothermal energy, can play an important part.

    Alliance sees opportunity

    Opposition parties see opportunity with unease over the hospital coupled with Northrup's departure, and People's Alliance candidate Jim Bedford is confident in his second shot at the seat.

    Bedford, a Fairfield resident who owns a supply and service business with his son, was the lone candidate in the 2018 election to boost their party's share of the vote. He finished second behind Northrup's 3,816 votes with 1,874 of his own, more than 600 more than Liberal Ian Smyth.


    He more than doubled the votes the Alliance received in 2014. However, the party is polling well below where it stood in the 2018 campaign.

    The former St. Martins fire chief was heavily involved in the community as a first responder and part of the emergency management team before heading to Alberta to open a business. He returned to the area five years ago.

    He said supporting small businesses through tax cuts and helping navigate red tape is a priority, but his main concern is health care. He, too, is skeptical of Higgs.

    "That's fine and dandy that the premier made this statement and he's made it several times," Bedford said.

    "If Mr. Higgs is going to change direction, why would he not replace that [Horizon] CEO?"

    Echoing his Alliance Leader Kris Austin, Bedford extolled the virtues of a minority government.


    "The People's Alliance have actually proven to the public that minority governments work, and the proof of that is these hospitals, the rural hospitals are still open today," he said.

    Green, NDP candidates

    Tim Thompson is running under the Green banner again, almost a year removed from his bid to be MP for Fundy Royal. The military reservist who grew up in Quispamsis said the once-community-run hospital needs more autonomy in how it operates.

    "We need to ensure we're bringing the ownership of that hospital back to the community of Sussex and fully funding it,  and I would actually like to see us expand and start taking the burdens off the three major cities," Thompson said.

    On other issues, Thompson said he wants to see the Fundy Parkway trail completed in a timely and proper fashion to boost local tourism as well as better stewardship of local natural resources, including no fracking and more sustainable forestry practices.

    Jonas Lanz is running for the NDP on a platform to improve workers' rights and wages in the province. Born in Germany, Lanz moved to New Brunswick in 2007 and works as an operator at the Irving Oil refinery in Saint John.

    The Rothesay resident, who is campaigning outside his home riding, is hoping to see workers empowered to speak up on issues such as safety and liveable wages.

    He also identified health care as a key issue in the riding.

    "People in both rural and urban New Brunswick need the basics," he said. "It doesn't help a lot of people if we focus on being on the cutting edge of things in one or two cities of the province if the rest of the province doesn't have the basics."

    At least Higgs listened , and backed down on the hospital cuts when there was an outcry from the public .

    Ken McGeorge often writes articles published in the media.
    He speaks and writes of reforms and changes that must happen in providing care in Family Medicine that would allow NP’s and PA’s to perform and substitute for Dr’s in a collaborative centres and team based model.

    These ideas apply especially to the more rural areas.

    One has to wonder if Vickers and Coon are in agreements with the solutions for primary care as proposed by
    Mr. Mc George ?

    Things did not go as expected and an artery was severed .

    The poor man Started bleeding which could not be stopped and passed away .

    The message is clear. Be careful Of where and if what you get treated for.

    A rural centre may not be the best place to be.

    All 5 parties set their sights on Fredericton North

    It was close contest in 2018, and it could be one this election too


    Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Sep 04, 2020 5:49 PM AT

    New Brunswick's Legislative Assembly isn't in the riding of Fredericton North, but you can see it from there.

    And that's an apt visual metaphor for the constituency's importance in this provincial election: it fits into the ambitions of all five parties hoping to gain ground in the legislature.

    The Liberals won the seat last time and must hold it if they hope to win power. But the Progressive Conservatives came close to beating them, and will have to win it this time to get the 25 seats they need for a majority government.



    The People's Alliance, which took two adjacent ridings, weren't that far behind the PCs, and the growing Green popularity in the Fredericton area makes the riding perhaps the party's best shot for an additional seat.
    "It really was a four-horse race last time," said Allen Price, the Alliance candidate in the riding.

    "It speaks to the diversity that we have in Fredericton North, and it also speaks to the desire of them to be heard."

    And don't forget interim NDP Leader Mackenzie Thomason, who is on the ballot there too.

    "I think there is a real opportunity to make some headway for the NDP in Fredericton North," said Thomason.

    Liberal Stephen Horsman, a retired city police officer, scraped to victory in 2014 by just 144 votes. After four years as a cabinet minister in the Gallant government, he was re-elected in 2018 in another close race, winning by 261 votes.



    Horsman had 31.6 per cent of the vote, while PC Jill Green, who is running again this time, won 28.2 per cent. The Alliance had 21.4 per cent, the Greens were at 17 and the NDP won 1.8 per cent.

    Since then, Jenica Atwin has been elected as a Green MP in the larger federal Fredericton riding. And in the current campaign, the CBC Poll Tracker suggests the Greens have moved into second place in the area, ahead of the Liberals.

    Candidate Luke Randall is telling voters that as a Green MLA, he'd have more freedom to speak out on riding issues,  including housing and access to healthcare.

    "As a third-party MLA," he said, "I can say anything I want on behalf of my constituents. I'm there to represent them. I can dig into issues in a way a Progressive Conservative or a Liberal can't dig in."

    Randall is also pledging to employ someone in his MLA constituency office with a background in social work, health care or seniors issues to add the expertise needed to work on those issues.

    Horsman said he's running on his record, which he said includes helping secure a new Shannex nursing home for the riding, getting provincial funding for a new roundabout and supporting local businesses.



    'Fredericton needs a new courthouse'

    He's also saying a PC majority would give the Higgs government the freedom to make more cuts like the cancellation of a new Fredericton courthouse announced by the Liberals in 2017.

    "This was a terrible move," he said.

    Horsman said the project would have allowed some provincial offices to relocate to a renovated adjacent Centennial Building, saving money spent on rent.

    It also would have avoided the cost of moving some court functions to the Fredericton Convention Centre because of COVID-19 distancing concerns in the existing building, he said.


    Liberal Stephen Horsman, the victor last time, says Fredericton needs a new courthouse. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

    "I'm not asking for niceties, I'm asking for necessities. Fredericton needs a new courthouse."

    But Green said there have been no complaints about the cancellation during the "digital door-knock" sessions she's been holding online to meet riding residents.



    "I've heard nothing," she said.

    Returning to school in a pandemic 

    Green said the leading issue among voters she has spoken to is the imminent return to school and how that will work with pandemic restrictions in place.

    In a campaign video and during an interview, she also acknowledged the debate over whether the province should fund abortions at the private Clinic 554, which also offers a range of other services including sexual health and LGBTQ services.

    "I'm willing to fight to keep those services available for our community," she said, without taking a position on whether Medicare should cover abortions there. "I'll use my voice to help protect the people who use that clinic."



    PC Jill Green, who is running again this time, won 28.2 per cent of the vote during the last election. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

    Price grew up in the riding but has lived elsewhere for years, most recently because of his job at a private Christian university in Sussex. He's now looking for a house in the constituency as he runs for the Alliance.

    "Fredericton North is a place where a lot of people choose to live, because of the sense of community, because of the diversity," he said.



    "We have small business owners, we  have big business owners. We have artists, we have different languages, we have St. Mary's First Nation. … Win or lose, I'm coming back to Fredericton North."

    North side disconnected from the south 

    Thomason also doesn't live in the riding but said that durng the time he's spent there, he's concluded it doesn't get the same treatment as the south side of the city.

    "The north side seems disconnected."

    The NDP hasn't won a seat in a provincial election since 2003, when then-leader Elizabeth Weir was last elected in Saint John Harbour. The party has never won a Fredericton riding.

    Asked whether the Green vote might eat into his party's support, Thomason laughed.

    "I don't think there's any NDP vote left to take," he said. "The only place we have to go from here is up."

    It would be interesting to see Horsman defeated as he only has six years in as an MLA at this point , and would not be eligible for an MLA pension yet , although he does already have a police pension . It was Horsman who went on a spending spree , and attempted to create a Provincial Police Force out of his ragtag band of truck safety inspectors , cigarette inspectors and game wardens ; although he knew that the RCMP are already being paid to provide policing services to the province . Horsman loved to waste the taxpayers cash .



    Methinks Mr Steele forgot that his fellow cop from Fat Fred City Urquhart took over Horsman's Police Force to enforce Higgy's Police State N'esy Pas?

    Thank you for taking the time to call me today. Unfortunately I was
    out and about and had to move on at that point. Thank you, however,
    for reaching out again with this email which I will look over.

    Can you please tell me what you were hoping I might know something

    >>> I.                    Introduction
    >>>
    >>> [1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr.
    > Amos)
    >>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
    >>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11
    > million
    >>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and
    > Provincial
    >>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
    >>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
    >>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
    >>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
    >>> (Claim at para. 96).
    >>>
    >>> [2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of
    > a
    >>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
    >>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
    >>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
    >>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
    >>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
    >>> Prothontary’s Order).
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> [3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
    >>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
    >>>>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
    >>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> [4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
    >>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
    >>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19,
    > 2016.
    >>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
    >>> cross-appeal.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> II.                 Preliminary Matter
    >>>
    >>> [5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
    >>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
    >>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two
    > of
    >>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
    >>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he
    > believed
    >>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
    >>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
    >>> several judges but did not name those judges.
    >>>
    >>> [6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
    >>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
    >>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
    >>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
    >>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed
    > in
    >>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
    >>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
    >>> c. F-7:
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
    >>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
    >>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
    >>> Appeal.
    >>> […]
    >>>
    >>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
    >>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
    >>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
    >>> […]
    >>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
    >>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
    >>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
    >>>
    >>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de
    > la
    >>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
    >>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> [7]               However, these subsections only provide that the
    >>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
    >>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
    >>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
    >>> section.
    >>> [8]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
    >>> that:
    >>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal

    >>>
    >>>
    >>> [9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
    >>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
    >>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal

    >>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of

    >>> appeal book.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> [10]           Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
    >>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
    >>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
    >>> conflict in any matter related to him.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> [11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
    >>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
    >>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
    >>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
    >>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
    >>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
    >>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
    >>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
    >>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
    >>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
    >>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
    >>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> [12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
    >>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
    >>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
    >>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
    >>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
    >>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
    >>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
    >>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
    >>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
    >>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
    >>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
    >>> such judge had a conflict.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> [13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
    >>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
    >>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
    >>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
    >>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
    >>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
    >>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
    >>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which
    > Mr.
    >>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
    >>> was a member of such firm.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> [14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
    >>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice
    > Webb,
    >>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
    >>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos
    > at
    >>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this

    >>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings
    > were
    >>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
    >>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> [15]           The documents that he submitted in relation to the
    >>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
    >>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
    >>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice
    > Webb
    >>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
    >>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen
    > May
    >>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer.
    > The
    >>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
    >>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
    >>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
    >>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
    >>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
    >>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
    >>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
    >>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
    >>> [16]           Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
    >>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In
    > Wewaykum
    >>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
    >>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
    >>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
    >>> apprehension of bias:
    >>> 60        In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
    >>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
    >>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
    >>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
    >>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
    >>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
    >>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
    >>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
    >>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
    >>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having
    > thought
    >>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
    >>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
    >>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
    >>>
    >>> [17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed
    >>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
    >>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
    >>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
    >>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
    >>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
    >>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
    >>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
    >>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.

    >>>
    >>> [18]           The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
    >>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the
    > Supreme
    >>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
    >>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
    >>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
    >>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The
    > Ontario
    >>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
    >>> judge had no involvement with the person or th>> lawyer. The Ontario
    >>> Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
    >>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
    >>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
    >>> 27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
    >>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
    >>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
    >>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> 28        The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
    >>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
    >>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
    >>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
    >>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
    >>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by
    > the
    >>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
    >>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
    >>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
    >>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> 29        It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
    >>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
    >>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
    >>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
    >>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
    >>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
    >>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
    >>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
    >>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
    >>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
    >>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
    >>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
    >>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
    >>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
    >>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
    >>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> 30        That brings me then to consider the particular
    > circumstances
    >>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
    >>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there
    > are
    >>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not
    > to
    >>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
    >>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
    >>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
    >>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
    >>>             To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
    >>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
    >>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor
    > is
    >>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
    >>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
    >>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
    >>> 31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
    >>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
    >>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
    >>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
    >>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
    >>>
    >>>
    >>> 32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
    >>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
    >>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
    >>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
    >>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
    >>> In these circumstances it ca>> trial judge could not remain impartial in
    >>> the case. The mere fact
    > that
    >>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
    >>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he
    > would
    >>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
    >>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
    >>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour
    > a
    >>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six
    > years
    >>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
    >>> events from over a decade ago.
    >>> (emphasis added)
    >>>
    >>> [19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
    >>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
    >>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made
    > it
    >>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
    >>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
    >>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for

    >>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have

    Green leader eyes election night gains, though Bill 11 abstention looms over party

    David Coon confident party will ‘more than double’ its seats on Sept. 14


    CBC News· Posted: Sep 03, 2020 7:21 PM AT

    David Coon likes his party's chances heading into the Sept. 14 election.

    The Green leader is confident the party will "more than double" its trio of seats in the legislature, and the polls suggest the party could make gains on election night, though winning six or more ridings would be a surprise.

    The Greens and the People's Alliance rode into the 2018 election polling at about 12 per cent, but in the two years since, it's been the Greens who maintained their standing with polling averages placing them firmly in third at 15.8 per cent, nearly 10 points more than the Alliance.


    In an interview with CBC News, Coon credited the performance of the Green caucus in the minority-government situation and what he sees as a considerable shift in the electoral landscape: Voters aren't afraid of choosing a more progressive option and risk splitting the vote with Liberals.


    New Brunswick Green Party Leader David Coon takes credit for working with Progressive Conservative government to pass legislation, but also admits to mistakes. 6:25

    "There's a sense that [the Liberals] haven't got anything anymore," Coon said after his recent campaigning in northern New Brunswick, a Liberal stronghold with pockets of growing Green support.

    "The best they can do is take the Green Party's ideas and put them out there as their own promises. Why not vote for the real deal?"

    Read the other one-on-one interview with party leaders:
    Coon, who's been leader since 2012 and MLA for Fredericton South since 2014, said the party has been siphoning votes from all parties since its first campaign in 2010, not just the Liberals.

    "When most people developed their voting habits, there was no Green Party," he said Thursday.

    "They became red or blue, and we've reached the point in our political evolution in New Brunswick where there's real choice and people are changing."


    Vaccination bill abstention

    But the momentum behind the party may have been stunted earlier this year after all three Green MLAs — Coon, Megan Mitton of Memramcook-Tantramar and Kevin Arseneau of Kent North — abstained from voting on the contentious mandatory vaccination bill.

    Education Minister Dominic Cardy's Bill 11 sought to remove religious and philosophical exemptions to the mandatory vaccination policy requirement for school children. Unvaccinated kids without valid medical reasons would not have been allowed to go to school starting in September 2021.

    The bill was defeated by two votes on June 18, and the Green abstention was roundly criticized by House members and the public for what many viewed as an abdication of responsibility on a difficult matter. Progressive Conservative Ross Wetmore also abstained.
    The Greens said at the time — and Coon reiterated Thursday — they support mandatory vaccinations, but it should be up to the chief medical officer of health to eliminate exemptions "based on public health requirements." An amendment to alter the bill was voted down.

    Mitton and Arseneau told CBC News in late June Cardy didn't have complete data on vaccination rates and couldn't demonstrate such a strict measure was needed now.

    On Thursday, Coon said he wanted exemptions removed "when necessary from a public health perspective," not a "random date" as set out in the bill. He said the province's mandatory vaccination legislation has been effective in producing high levels of vaccination rates.


    Coon is confident his party can make gains on election night. (Graham Thompson/CBC)

    he Green leader said it was difficult to communicate their nuanced argument around the existing legislation, when the debate, in effect, spiralled into a referendum on mandatory vaccinations.

    "I wanted to be able to vote for the bill without reservations," he said, noting the issue has prompted "a lot of questions" from the public.


    Coon speaks with the CBC's Harry Forestell on Thursday. (Graham Thompson/CBC)

    Asked if it could cost them votes, Coon said, "We'll see."

    On the matter of COVID-19 vaccination, he said it should be mandatory without exemptions because there isn't immunity in the population.

    Influence at the legislature

    Coon touted his caucus' ability to influence key pieces of legislation and the recent budget during two years of the province's first minority government in more than a century.

    The first year was "rough," he said, explaining how Premier Blaine Higgs attempted to govern as if he held a majority. In some respects, the PCs could operate in that fashion with a pledge from the Alliance to prop up the government.
    But Coon said about eight months ago the parties became more open to collaboration, and the Greens managed to pass some of their ideas.

    They include granting domestic violence survivors the ability to end their lease early and tying income assistance to the consumer price index. Coon also believes they've changed Higgs's mind on matters like improving provincial food sustainability and mental health.

    "I see those as direct consequences of the work the three of us have been doing in the legislative assembly," Coon said.

    PC candidate Roland Michaud asked to withdraw after transphobic post

    WARNING: This story includes details some people might find offensive


    Alexandre Silberman, Gail Harding· CBC News· Posted: Sep 07, 2020 3:19 PM AT



    A statement from Roland Michaud, the PC candidate for Victoria-La Vallée, and the party is expected Monday afternoon. (Roland Michaud 2020 for Victoria — La Vallée/Facebook)

    Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs said his party's candidate for Victoria-La Vallée, Roland Michaud, will withdraw from the race after the discovery of a meme on Facebook that encourages violence against transgender people.

    "While I respect everyone's right to have their own personal views, I cannot endorse the promotion of messaging that is clearly sexist, offensive and hurtful to many people," Higgs said.

    Higgs announced his decision at a press conference while campaigning in Saint John Monday afternoon. The party leader had said ealier in the day that he was unsure of Michaud's future with the party. Higgs said he expects the candidate to take down his campaign signs and he will not join the PC caucus if he wins the riding.


    The story was first reported by PressProgress.

    The post was on Michaud's page Monday morning, but by late morning the account had mostly been stripped, bearing only a cover photo promoting his candidacy and his date of birth.

    The meme comes from a Facebook page called Guy Stuff and references a 2016 decision by Target stores to allow "transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity."



    This meme was posted on Michaud's Facebook page, but has since been removed. (Screenshot from Roland Michaud Facebook )


    The New Brunswick Elections Act allows a candidate to withdraw as late as 48 hours before voting day by filing a declaration with the returning officer. However, the party may not select a replacement candidate, as the nomination deadline has passed.

    In the event of a withdrawal, officials are expected to post notices at the polling station and inform voters when handing out ballots, according to the Act. All votes for Michaud would be considered spoiled ballots.

    Ballots are already printed and as of Saturday, 63,000 New Brunswickers had already voted.



    Polls suggested Victoria-La Vallée is a winnable riding for the Progressive Conservatives. The Liberals won it by only 358 votes in the 2018 provincial election. 

    Vetting process concerns

    Higgs said Monday morning there is a vetting process for all new candidates and he's concerned the post was missed.

    "If this is something that was posted for a while, how did it happen and why was it missed and what do we need to do about it?" he said.

    Higgs said withdrawing a candidate places him in a vulnerable situation just a week away from election day. But he said he wants everyone to see a place for themselves within the PC Party.

    "I'm trying to win a majority and clearly every seat counts," he said. "But I've never shied away from doing what is right, even if it hurts me politically."

    'These things will never be repeated again'

    Michaud posted a video apology on his Facebook account on Monday afternoon, asking the people of his riding for "forgiveness."


    "I do realize that some of those memes that I posted could be harmful to you and I apologize," he said.

    Michaud said his response was late because he wanted to speak to his friends from the LGBTQ community to offer personal apologies before addressing the issue publicly. He also apologized to Higgs and the PC party for "dragging them into this."

    "I would like to say that elected or not these things will never be repeated again," he said.
    Higgs said during the announcement that he had not yet spoken with Michaud, but planned to call him shortly.

    "It's a message that we send across the province that we have higher standards that we uphold and that we all must follow," Higgs said.

    Disturbing memes

    Other memes on Michaud's now-defunct account depicted sexualized women, posts from right-wing Facebook groups and his opposition to the federal government's passing of a firearms bill that included enhanced background checks and forced retailers to keep records of firearms sales.


    Saint John Harbour Liberal candidate Alice McKim called on Higgs to let Michaud go. In a prepared statement, she said a candidate who ridicules the dignity of women and gay and trans people is a danger to a free and peaceful society and is "not fit for office."

    "This is a joke about a hate crime," McKim said. "Thankfully gender rights are protected under the New Brunswick Human Rights Act as well as Canada's Criminal Code."

    McKim never referred to Michaud by his name in her statement, only as the PC candidate.

    "We know degradation of this type increase the degraded to become victims of crimes. It increases the inhibitions of other to harm them, to harm us," said McKim, who is transgender.

    Hey CBC, why no separate story about the Liberal candidate that was dropped?

    Hmmm 






    Mike Won
    Is he really suggesting a hate crime? Or is he suggesting that predators may abuse these laws to assault children?

    Reply to @Mike Won: If you really need to ask that question, then maybe it's time to take a good hard look in the mirror!

    Reply to @George Thompson: Hah, or maybe not everyone subscribes to the same extreme progressive view of the world that you do.

    Reply to @Mike Won: The post can easily be taken out of context. If it flat out said "Transgender people are the devil," there would be no questioning it. I think in this context he was referring that men might use the transgender excuse to enter women's bathrooms and assault little girls. It was a common fear a few years ago when the debate on letting transgender people use the bathroom of their choice first came up.

    No, it's that it's OK to punch people for using the wrong bathroom. No threat was implied in this tale. He just used the wrong bathroom according to Mr "tooth fairy"

























    Roy Kirk 
    Good on Mr. Higgs for doing the right thing. This is yet one more reason why the unseemly rush to call a general election was unwise. It takes time to qualify a candidate. More time than was apparently available in this case.

    Reply to @Roy Kirk: Roland Michaud is still running for the PC he annouced it a few minutes ago.
    Roy Kirk 
    Reply to @Marc Martin: So it's up to the voters to decide if he sits as an independent.
    Roy Kirk 
    Reply to @Marc Martin: He may be able to stay in the race, but the riding association can pull its support, take down his PC signs, etc. And if he wins the seat, the PC caucus doesn't have to admit him.
    Jos Allaire
    Reply to @Roy Kirk: He won't get elected and wouldn't have been either way.
    Roy Kirk 
    Reply to @Jos Allaire: I hope not, but polling in the riding has him in a dead heat with the liberal. One Hope's the good voters of the riding will withdraw their support of him.

    Clearly incarceration is a fitting punishment. 20 - 25 years ought to do it .

    New Brunswick PC Candidate Circulated Image Mocking Physical Violence Against Trans Women


    Transphobic, homophobic and sexist posts raise fresh questions about Blaine Higgs’ Tories’ candidate vetting process

    September 6, 2020 Share Tweet

    One of New Brunswick PC leader Blaine Higgs’ candidates is remaining silent about social media posts that promote transphobic, homophobic and sexist messages.

    Roland Michaud, a local beekeeper turned PC candidate for Victoria — La Vallée, did not respond to multiple requests for comment from PressProgress about one post in particular that mocks physical violence against trans women.

    The post features an image of a cartoon news anchor with the text “breaking news” across the top and the following text:

    “A man followed a young girl into a Target bathroom in Texas saying he self-identified as a woman. The man’s teeth were knocked out by the girl’s father, who says he self-identifies as the tooth fairy.”


    Roland Michaud (Facebook)

    The meme, which was shared from a Facebook page called “Guy Stuff,” references a transgender bathroom policy that was implemented in all Target stores in 2016.

    Target’s inclusive policy became fodder for American right-wing media and later prompted boycotts from social conservative groups. The anti-Trans “tooth fairy” line dates back to Target’s unveiling of the policy in 2016.

    The scenario outlined by the meme also appears to describe an apparent hate crime: Gender identity is protected under New Brunswick’s Human Rights Act as well as Canada’s Criminal Code.

    Michaud ignored questions from PressProgressseeking clarification about his own views on Target’s bathroom policy or offer an explanation why New Brunswick’s trans community should trust him to serve as a legislator.

    The meme is in keeping with the tone of other posts on the PC candidate’s feed, which include memes from right-wing pages like “Canada Proud” sprinkled with crude homophobic jokes and crass sexualized memes about women.

    Another meme posted by Michaud features a bikini-clad swimmer climbing onto a boat with the faint outline of a shark photoshopped into the background. “The five second rule,” the post states. “If you noticed the shark in the first five seconds you are probably gay.”


    Roland Michaud (Facebook)

    New Brunswick’s PC Party did not respond to questions from PressProgress about its candidate’s social media activity.

    New Brunswick voters head to the polls on September 14, but Premier Blaine Higgs’ decision to call a surprise 28-day election during a pandemic raises the possibility some candidates for public office may face little to no scrutiny before election day.

    On Sunday, a local all-candidates debate in the PC leaders’ riding of Quispamsis was cancelled after Higgs pulled out last minute.

    “Hopefully next time we will have a little more time to organize rather than responding to a snap election,” the debate organizer told Higgs’ opponents.

    Last week, PressProgressreported Higgs’ minister of women’s equality stated on an anti-abortion group’s questionnaire that she supported defunding abortion services in all provincial hospitals.




    Update: In response to this story, PC leader Blaine Higgs announced Monday afternoon that he has asked Roland Michaud to withdraw as the PC candidate in Victoria — La Vallée.

    A Saint Croix candidate who was dropped by the Liberal Party for homophobic comments says he is perplexed by the decision because he is an openly gay man.

    "I can't make this stuff up," John Gardner said Tuesday. "It's too funny."

    Gay candidate confused by Liberal leader's accusations of homophobia

    Neither of the candidates dropped by their parties for offensive language will withdraw from election


    Elizabeth Fraser· CBC News· Posted: Sep 09, 2020 5:00 AM AT |
     
     
     

    A Saint Croix candidate who was dropped by the Liberal Party for homophobic comments says he is perplexed by the decision because he is an openly gay man.

    "I can't make this stuff up," John Gardner said Tuesday. "It's too funny."

    Just five days before his wedding in Saint Andrews, the 54-year-old was removed as a Liberal candidate, but he quickly decided he would keep running in Saint Croix riding.

    "It's one of the best things that could've happened," he said.

    It was too late to remove the party affiliation from the ballot, but Gardner said he'll sit as an Independent if he wins on Sept. 14. 

    Roland Michaud in Victoria-La Vallée riding took a similar approach after being dropped Monday as a Progressive Conservative candidate over derogatory comments about the LGBTQ community. Party leader Blaine Higgs said Michaud was withdrawing from the campaign, but the candidate said he would keep running and would sit as an Independent if successful.

    If the candidates had withdrawn from the election, any votes cast for them would have been considered spoiled.

    In a Facebook post two years ago, Gardner said it was important to recognize everyone, not just minority groups, after the Village of Chipman made headlines for raising a straight pride flag

    On Tuesday, Gardner said the party has accused him of being homophobic and it also complained of an offensive comment he posted about Jody Wilson-Raybould.


    John Gardner made a Facebook post two years ago that suggested he was OK with Chipman's straight pride flag and called for better treatment of everyone, not just minority groups. (Facebook)
     

    In another Facebook post this week, Gardner acknowledged his comments appeared to be homophobic but said they were "pointing out the way in which we all fight for our rights, and sometimes conflict with what others consider to be their rights."

    Gardner said he's confident he has a chance in Saint Croix and will continue to campaign on issues related to rural health care and year-round transportation for Campobello Island.

    Gardner said he doesn't regret his post about the straight-pride flag in Chipman because he believes everyone should feel included. He flies a Pride flag outside his bed-and-breakfast business, he said. 

    Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers said he is aware of Gardner's sexual orientation but suggested some of his other posts, related to women and the francophone community, were also troubling.

     


    Gardner says the party's response to the Facebook post he made two years ago has been good for his campaign, which he is not abandoning, despite being stricken from the Liberal candidate list. (Facebook)

    "It was the totality and the frequency of those types of posts that concerned us enough that the values of the Liberal Party would not be well-represented with this individual," Vickers said Tuesday. 

    Former PC candidate apologizes for post

    In a Facebook video, former PC candidate Roland Michaud apologized for reposting a meme encouraging violence against transgender people in 2018. 

    "I made a mistake and I apologize for that," Michaud said. 

    But Michaud put out a plea to voters in Victoria-La Vallée, saying he wants to make a difference in Fredericton.

    "It probably won't be my last mistake but I guarantee you it will be the last time that type of mistake happens," he said. 

    In a news release, Marcel Michaud, president of the PC riding association in Victoria-La Vallée, said he will continue to back Michaud as "an independent Progressive Conservative," whom he described as "dedicated to improving the lives of residents."

    In the statement, Michaud, who is not related to candidate Michaud, said the association wouldn't judge someone for making a mistake several years ago.  

    Roland Michaud says he is running as an independent Progressive Conservative for Victoria-La Vallée, although he can't change the simple Progressive Conservative designation already on the ballot. If he wins, he won't be allowed to sit with the PCs. (Roland Michaud 2020 for Victoria — La Vallée/Facebook)

    "No one is perfect."  

    Nicolle Carlin, spokesperson for the provincial PC party, said riding associations are independent bodies. 

    "The riding association can support Mr. Michaud as an independent candidate if the executive chooses to do so," she said in an email to CBC News.

    "As party leader, Premier Higgs has decided that Mr. Michaud will not run as the Progressive Conservative candidate and he stands by that decision." 

    This meme mocking physical violence against trans women was posted on PC candidate for Victoria - La Vallée Roland Michaud's personal Facebook account. The account is now suspended. (Screenshot from Roland Michaud Facebook )

    Paul Harpelle, a spokesperson for Elections New Brunswick, said candidates who are scrubbed from a party slate but who don't withdraw from the campaign, cannot change their status to an independent candidate. People can still vote for them, however. 

    "The candidates cannot change their official status, even if they tell the media and the public they are running as an independent," Harpelle said. 

    Under the Political Process Financing Act, Harpelle said, any votes received for a candidate registered with a political party would be counted for the party in the calculation of the annual allowance.

    If either Gardner or Michaud were to win in their ridings, the rules get even more complicated.

    "It becomes an issue between the party and candidate on who they will represent, if victorious," Harpelle said.

    More than 29,000 vote in advance polls Tuesday

    Elections New Brunswick saw more than 29,000 voted in advance polls as of 2 p.m. Tuesday. In 2018, close to 16,500 people voted during the same period.

    "We caution people not to read too much into the numbers," said Paul Harpelle, spokesperson for Elections New Brunswick.

    "We hope it reflects on our efforts to flatten the election curve by voting early."

    The running total so far for both Saturday and Tuesday is just under 92,000 votes.

    Greens would make chief medical officer independent of government

    Green Party Leader David Coon says the chief medical officer of health should be independent from government, as the position is in British Columbia.

    This would allow New Brunswick's top doctor to make reports and recommendations on issues that affect the health of residents without having to go through a political filter. 

    In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Higgs and Dr. Jennifer Russell, the chief medical health officer, made daily announcements to the public about the outbreak and how New Brunswickers could protect themselves.

    "A Green government would ensure that the chief medical officer of health is truly independent," Coon said. 

    He said he would consult the chief medical officer of health and other public health experts to see how they would improve the Public Health Act.

    He also wants Public Health employees scattered in recent years throughout government to return to the Department of Health or a public health branch to ensure the department has the "people power they need," particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    "They lack the capacity and depth they once had," he said.

    People's Alliance to help cover training costs for volunteer firefighters

    People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin has pledged to help volunteer fire departments by covering a portion of those training costs.

    Austin said his party would also work with emergency training companies to provide a streamlined online training program that would allow volunteer firefighters to study in their spare time.

    "We want to help these brave volunteers by giving them support whenever possible," Austin said in Riverview.

    "Most volunteer fire departments receive inadequate funding for training and equipment."

    NDP favours cultural sensitivity campaigns 

    NDP Leader Mackenzie Thomason blamed the recent removal of Liberal and PC candidates on Premier Blaine Higgs's decision to call a snap election.

    "If you plan on gambling with the future of the province, you had best be prepared for unpleasant surprises along the way," he said. 

    Higgs and Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers were so desperate for a full slate of candidates, Thomason said, that "they didn't consider all of the ramifications of their ill-advised decision of forcing an election on New Brunswickers."

    While he's pleased the two candidates were dropped from their respective parties, Thomason is troubled by the transphobia and homophobia that still exist in New Brunswick.

    "This points to a rather obvious conclusion that racism, sexism, trans and homophobia are very much still present in New Brunswick," he said.

    "We should be investing in cultural sensitivity and awareness campaigns so we can work towards eliminating these regressive and hateful comments." 

    Where the leaders are today

    Little campaigning is planned for the day as the five party leaders prepare for CBC News and Radio-Canada forums in Moncton on Wednesday night.

    The 90-minute CBC forum, called Leaders on the Record, will start at 6 p.m. and feature leader responses to questions from voters and journalists. It can be watched on CBC Television, on this website, and on CBC New Brunswick's Facebook page.

    People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin also take part in a forum with Chambers of Commerce organizations.

    Standings at dissolution: PCs 20, Liberals 20, Greens, 3, People's Alliance 3, Independent 1, vacancies 2

     The now independent candidate in saint croix is polling a distant 3rd behind the PC candidate and close to but behind the green candidates.
    The independent standing in Victoria la Valle is tied with the green and PANB candidates in a distant second place behind the lib candidate.

    Reply to @trevor pinsonneault: Actually no. The poll is not up to date yesterday. If you click on the link for the underlying data of that poll, you will find this note:

    "Data has been sparse since the writ was drawn up in the New Brunswick legislature. A first poll was published earlier today by Narrative Research, but its field date spans from August 5 to 23, meaning the election was called two thirds into the poll."

    So these poll results are pretty much useless since the majority of people were polled prior to the election call and would not even know who was running. Furthermore, this poll cannot be reflective of the recent spate of candidate removals that all occurred in September.

    PCs under fire for inconsistency on candidates who made transphobic posts

    5 party leaders define their visions less than a week from election day

     
    CBC News · Posted: Sep 09, 2020 12:01 PM AT



    The Leaders on the Record forum took place Wednesday in Moncton. (CBC)

    The leaders of the Liberal and People's Alliance parties say the Progressive Conservatives have been inconsistent in dealing with candidates who made transphobic comments on social media. 

    The PCs dropped Victoria-La Vallée candidate Roland Michaud on Monday after learning that he'd shared a Facebook post that incites violence against transgender people.

    But the party said Wednesday that Restigouche-West candidate Louis Bérubé will remain on the ballot, despite derogatory comments he posted online in reference to federal Bill C-16, which enacted protections for the transgender community

    The issue arose at the end of the Leaders on the Record event, a forum in which the five political party leaders answered questions from voters and CBC journalists, when Higgs was questioned about the candidates.

    WATCH: The 90-minute special covered an array of topics, including access to health-care, systemic racism, municipal reforms, the future of education and the province's economic recovery. You can watch the entire broadcast below.

    Five party leaders answered questions from voters and journalists onstage for Leaders on the Record. 1:29:59 

    The PC Leader said the party was "very direct, very prompt" in dismissing Michaud, who is running as an independent

    "The other situation was one that certainly was later in time. It was back in 2016," Higgs said, referring to  Bérubé. "The candidate had expressed remorse. It was a personal opinion. I don't condone it in any way, shape or form."

    The Michaud's post was timestamped Dec. 10, 2018.

    Following Higgs's remarks, both Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers and Alliance Leader Kris Austin said they were troubled by the inconsistency.

    "I commended Mr. Higgs, as the leader of the PC Party, for removing that candidate, but yet you had another candidate that came out and said something just as egregious or worse," Austin said.

    WATCH: Liberal leader wants equal access to education

    Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers discusses equal access to education while criticizing the PC government for unfulfilled promises to reform the system.  0:55

    Both leaders failed to mention dismissed candidates of their own. 

    John Gardner, who was representing the Liberals in Saint Croix, was removed from the Liberal roster for homophobic comments two years ago in regards to use of the straight pride flag. Gardner, an openly gay man, said he was baffled by the decision and will run as an independent.

    And hours before Austin took the forum stage in Moncton, he dismissed the Alliance candidate for Memramcook-Tantramar, Heather Collins, because she complained online about the number of Muslims immigrating to this country.

    Economic recovery

    The discrepancy wasn't the only time Vickers went on the offensive Wednesday evening. The Liberal leader routinely spent part of his allotted response time attacking Higgs over what he called the PC leader's "secret plan" that would be deployed if handed a majority.

    On the question of New Brunswick's post-pandemic economic recovery, Vickers said voters must choose between PC austerity measures and the Liberals' vision for growth, which focuses on technology, the green economy and putting Opportunities New Brunswick "on steroids."

    Vickers also mentioned small modular reactors, a "passion" of his with a tremendous potential to, he said, create tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs.

    Blaine Higgs wants to see more flexibility from Ottawa so New Brunswick can boost immigration and newcomer services. 1:34

    Those reactors also happen to be a passion for Higgs, who touted their potential in his vision for the provincial economy. Higgs, who chose to stay above the fray and stick to his talking points, also pointed to boosting immigration and private-sector investment. 

    Green Leader David Coon disputed the potential of the reactors, saying they will require "truckloads of money … to actually get out of the computer and on the drawing board" and inevitably drive up power rates.

    Coon, as he did on several occasions, highlighted in-province solutions to many issues, including the economy and health care. He touched on the need to support businesses and communities to address food security and clean energy.

    NDP Leader Mackenzie Thomason says New Brunswick needs to clamp down on companies that received millions in tax breaks and start investing in people to transform the economy. 1:32

    NDP Leader MacKenzie Thomason said his party would transform the economy by doing away with corporate welfare and trickle-down economics employed by successive PC and Liberal governments.

    "When we talk about restructuring after COVID and when we talk about COVID recovery," Thomason said, "we really need to talk about the fact that there are companies in this province that receive millions upon millions upon millions of dollars worth tax break, worth of sweetheart deals, worth of special permissions from government that the people of New Brunswick do not get to enjoy."

    Austin called for change to New Brunswick's "archaic and draconian" tax system to support businesses and ensure they have the capital to invest or reinvest in the province.

    Access to health care

    Attracting more doctors and reducing the load on primary-care providers are among the crucial steps needed to expand access to health-care in New Brunswick, according to the province's five political party leaders.

    But the route each leader would take to reach those goals varies considerably, from hiring more nurse practitioners to improved ambulance response times and first responders for mental health.

    Improving access to health care was among the first issues raised during a special, 90-minute CBC News program.

    WATCH: People's Alliance leader on municipal reform

    Kris Austin says the province is taking too much property tax revenue out of municipalities. 1:32

    Austin said his party is focused on doctor recruitment and the expansion of virtual care.

    But Austin opened by continuing to extol the benefits of a minority government, touching on his party's role in supporting the elimination of billing numbers, ambulance response times and the backlash against the now-quashed plan to scale back emergency room hours in six rural hospitals.

    Vickers was quick to attack Higgs, claiming he will push ahead with the controversial health reforms targeting rural hospitals. Without specifics, Vickers said he would develop a "concrete HR plan" and "double down" on efforts to attract more doctors and nurses.

    Higgs said the province needs to be innovative since it's difficult to hire more doctors in New Brunswick.

    "We hired 94 doctors in these past 15 months, but the rest of the story would be that we lost 104, either through retirement or moving or a number of reasons," Higgs said. "Every province is looking for doctors and medical professionals."

    WATCH: Green Party leader on expanding access to health care

    David Coon would turn staff of mobile crisis units into first responders. 1:29

    Higgs said to reduce the strain on caregivers the province needs to continue increasing virtual care services, hiring more nurse practitioners and giving pharmacists more capability to handle routine matters.

    Coon keyed in on mental health and addiction services, saying his party would turn mobile crisis units — personnel trained in handling mental health calls — into first responders who would be on call 24/7. 

    Clinic 554

    Thomason said the PC government hasn't done enough to encourage family doctors to open practices in the provinces, specifically mentioning its unwillingness to fund Clinic 554, a Fredericton-based health clinic that serves as the province's lone out-of-hospital abortion provider.

    Thomason said the clinic, which also offers LGTBQ services, could serve as a model to be implemented around the province to ensure timely access for patients. 

    Questioned on what the appropriate access to abortions looks like, Higgs said he is not "a medical professional," and the province has health authorities and experts to "define what access means and should be."

    Methinks its interesting the nobody mentioned Vickers allowing Mr Comeau a former activist who ran for the NDP in 2014 to continue to run under his banner even though he has done the same thing as Mr Gardner N'esy Pas?

Time and again the attackers were repulsed . They offered nothing of substance and bordered on the edge of ridiculousness like pontificating to hire more Doctors and nurses when there are none to be hired.

You need the desire and the willingness to go to recruit them. What has been done in the last 2 yrs is akin to rationing access to the health care system

    Natalie Pugh                                                                                                                                                It is without question that Kris Austin is not only the best speaker by far of all leaders, he is direct, confident and is the best option for premier of NB. Anyone that disagrees is stubbornly placing their own selfish views first instead of what is best for all of NB.

     

    Bill Henry                                                                                                                                            Reply to @Natalie Pugh: you know how the voting works though right? Austin doesn’t have anybody even running in the Northern part of the province. He may win his seat by 2500 votes, but his party is 30 years from being able to go up against the big two. Austin will be long retired before that ever happens.

    Vickers Addresses Candidate Controversies

    Vickers Addresses Candidate Controversies

    The Liberal leader says the vetting process for candidates missed the controversial posts of former Saint Croix candidate John Gardner.

    The party cut ties with Gardner on Monday after controversial social media posts came to light which were derogatory to women and the LGBTQ community.

    Kevin Vickers said once the party became aware, they took the appropriate steps.

    “As soon as we learned about it, we took the necessary action to make sure that he would not be representing the Liberal party in that riding,” Vickers said Tuesday during a media availability in Tracadie-Sheila.

    The Liberal leader acknowledged a misstep with another candidate, Phil Comeau in Saint John East, who posted what Vickers called a “joke” in 2016.

    Vickers says the post was quickly removed and Comeau apologized for it.

    He said Comeau tried to be funny and it was the “absolute opposite”.

    “He did something that unacceptable and does not align with the values of the party. I have been speaking with Mr. Comeau. [He made] an error in judgement and corrected it and immediately apologized for it. I’m confident we won’t see any repetition of those types of comments from him,” Vickers said.

    Vickers was asked why Comeau can stay in the Liberal fold while Gardner was ousted.

    He said Comeau’s post was quickly removed and he apologized while Gardner’s posts were a “pattern of behaviour”.

    The Liberal leader doesn’t believe the party’s vetting process broke down.

    “This is life. Things happen. We found out about it, we acted quickly. The right thing was done. The person in question the comments were unacceptable and we acted accordingly,” Vickers said.

    Vickers said there will probably be further errors adding “we do our best in life, but sometimes things fall through the cracks”.

    Profil : Restigouche-Ouest

    À moins d'une semaine des élections au Nouveau-Brunswick,
    infoweekend.ca vous présente les profils des candidats et candidates
    qui se sont présentés dans la région du Nord-Ouest.

    Ce vendredi, nous vous présentons la circonscription Restigouche-Ouest.

    Au Restigouche-Ouest, quatre candidats sont dans la course afin de
    représenter les citoyens à l’Assemblée législative.

    En 2018, le député libéral sortant, Gilles LePage avait obtenu 4233
    voix, alors que le candidat du Parti vert, Charles Thériault, était au
    deuxième rang avec 2540 voix. Quant aux candidats du Parti
    progressiste-conservateur, David Moreau; du Nouveau Parti
    démocratique, Beverly A. Mann, et du KISS NB, Travis Pollock, ils ont
    obtenu 961, 263 et 62 voix, respectivement.

    Voici donc une brève présentation des candidats de 2020 et de leurs priorités.

    Gilles LePage, Parti libéral

    Élu en 2014 et en 2018, M. LePage a occupé diverses fonctions au sein
    de divers comités permanents. En 2017, il a été nommé ministre du
    Travail, de l’Emploi et de la Croissance démographique, poste qu'il a
    tenu jusqu'à l’élection de 2018.

    Bachelier en administration des affaires de l’Université de Moncton,
    il est également titulaire d’un certificat en administration
    municipale. Avant d’entamer sa carrière politique, il a oeuvré dans le
    domaine du développement communautaire et économique durant 25 ans.

    Selon M. LePage, le dossier prioritaire au Restigouche-Ouest est celui
    des soins de santé.

    «Aucun hôpital rural ne doit fermer, aucun service d’urgence ne doit
    être supprimé, alors que plus de soins et de services doivent être
    prodigués à nos aînés. De plus, on doit favoriser le recrutement et la
    rétention de personnel qualifié, alors que les services ambulanciers
    doivent être assurés.»

    Convaincu de l’importance de ramener l’humain au centre de la
    politique et de défendre les plus démunis, M. LePage indique que si le
    Parti libéral forme le gouvernement, il contribuera, en collaboration
    avec divers partenaires, au développement économique et social, au
    développement stratégique et durable du Restigouche-Ouest et de
    l’ensemble de la province.

    «Je compte sur ces énergies positives, sur mes expériences
    diversifiées, sur la qualité des infrastructures existantes, incluant
    les icônes touristiques et économiques, ainsi que sur le grand
    potentiel de nos ressources naturelles et humaines pour contribuer au
    développement de la région et de la province.»

    Charles Thériault, Parti vert

    Candidat sous la bannière du Parti vert en 2014 et en 2018, Charles
    Thériault est à nouveau dans la course. Âgé de 63 ans et domicilié à
    Kedgwick, M. Thériault est cinéaste, documentariste, blogueur, auteur
    et environnementaliste. En plus d’avoir réalisé un premier film avec
    l’Office national du film alors qu’il n’avait que 16 ans, M. Thériault
    oeuvre en communications.

    La priorité de M. Thériault est de redonner aux communautés leur
    autonomie en matière de santé, d’éducation et de gestion du territoire
    qui les entoure. Il estime qu’après la pandémie, il n’y aura pas de
    retour à la normale.

    «Le changement climatique continuera de transformer nos vies de façon
    incertaine et nous devons prévoir une sécurité alimentaire, adapter la
    scolarisation et offrir un soutien continu à nos aînés de façon digne
    et humanisante. L’esprit bienveillant qui habite nos communautés a été
    systématiquement étouffé par l’approche entrepreneuriale de nos chefs
    politiques qui ont centralisé le pouvoir décisionnel de nos
    communautés.»

    Advenant que le Parti vert accède au pouvoir, M. Thériault indique que
    la formation politique optera pour un tournant vert en énergie et en
    matière d’exploitation des ressources naturelles.

    «Parmi les autres priorités du Parti vert, on compte: assurer une
    sécurité alimentaire, retourner aux communautés le pouvoir décisionnel
    de l’application des soins de santé, outiller les communautés afin de
    prévoir les impacts du changement climatique, de même que gérer la
    province comme une maisonnée, pour le bien de chacun, et non comme une
    entreprise.»

    Louis Bérubé, Parti progressiste-conservateur

    Bien qu’il n’en soit pas à sa première campagne électorale, Louis
    Bérubé en est à sa première sous la bannière du Parti
    progressiste-conservateur (PC).

    Au fil des ans, les gens ont notamment connu M. Bérubé en tant
    qu’auteur-compositeur-interprète dans le domaine de la musique
    country. Toutefois, Louis Bérubé précise qu’en plus d’être un
    entrepreneur et un activiste, il demeure actif dans sa communauté, et
    ce, à différents niveaux.

    M. Bérubé donne un aperçu des dossiers qui, à ses yeux, sont
    prioritaires pour les citoyens de la circonscription de
    Restigouche-Ouest.

    «Je souhaite que tous aient un meilleur accès à des soins de santé
    primaires, de même que renforcer l’économie locale par l’entremise du
    Fonds sur l’économie rurale (FER). Je désire également encourager la
    relève et le développement en agriculture afin d’atteindre
    l’autosuffisance en matière d’alimentation pour les générations
    futures.»

    Advenant qu’il soit élu, M. Bérubé affirme qu’il compte bien prendre
    sa place au sein du Comité permanent des changements climatiques et de
    l’environnement afin de défendre les intérêts de la région.

    «En plus de vouloir m’assurer que les gens du Restigouche-Ouest
    puissent avoir un meilleur accès à l’Internet haute vitesse, je veux
    améliorer le sort de nos aînés qui, souvent, sont oubliés.»

    Travis Pollock, KISS NB

    Le candidat du parti KISS NB, Travis Pollock, n'a pas fourni de
    réponses aux questions de l'Info Weekend avant l'heure de tombée.

    Suicide d’un patient au CHR : une bataille avec Vitalité pour obtenir
    des documents
    Charles Murray en discussion avec une collègue.

    Publié le 1 juin 2020

    Le Réseau de santé Vitalité partage de nouveaux documents concernant
    la mort d’un patient au Centre hospitalier Restigouche (CHR), après
    avoir affirmé ne pas les avoir en sa possession.

    Le réseau de santé a partagé de nouveaux documents en lien avec
    l’enquête sur le suicide de Martin Michaud en 2019, au sein du
    principal hôpital de soins psychiatriques du Nouveau-Brunswick
    Un cadre de Martin Michaud, devant son père et son frère lisant ses lettres.

    lettres qu'ils avaient écrites.

    Ces documents ont été transmis après une longue bataille d'accès à
    l'information mené par le réseau CBC pendant plus de neuf mois.
    Une longue bataille

    Vitalité a longtemps affirmé n’avoir que deux documents en sa
    possession, ce qui représentait moins de trois pages d’information.
    Cette affirmation était finalement fausse.

    En réalité, Vitalité avait en sa possession plusieurs autres documents
    sur la mort de Martin Michaud, dont une chronologie des événements et
    un courriel envoyé par un vice-président de l'organisation à d'autres
    membres de la haute direction.

    Vitalité a omis de partager ses informations avec CBC, ainsi qu’avec
    l'ombudsman de la province Charles Murray, pendant près de neuf mois.
    Cela a eu comme effet de retarder son enquête ainsi que l’accès du
    public à cette information.

    rapport choc sur le Centre hospitalier Restigouche en 2019.

    L'enquête de Charles Murray a également révélé que le comité interne
    de Vitalité, qui a examiné le décès du patient, n'a pas laissé de
    traces écrites de leurs conclusions et n'a présenté un rapport
    qu’oralement.

    Charles Murray a laissé entendre que cette façon de procéder était
    intentionnelle.

        Ils essaient d'éviter de créer un dossier qui, selon eux, pourrait
    être utilisé contre eux dans le cadre d'une procédure judiciaire.
        Charles Murray, ombudsman du Nouveau-Brunswick

    M. Murray affirme que sa confiance dans l’institution a été "détruite"
    à partir du moment où il a appris qu'on lui avait caché de
    l'information. "Si on commence dès le début à cacher le fait que les
    documents existent, déjà on est [sur la mauvaise voie]," dit-il.

    Roland Michaud, le père de Martin Michaud, a pris connaissance des
    récents développements dans ce dossier. Il trouve inacceptable qu'un
    aussi long laps de temps se soit écoulé entre la demande d'accès à
    l'information et le partage des documents.

    "Grosse frustration de voir qu’il y a eu ces cachotteries-là de faites
    pendant tant de mois. J’ai trouvé ça incroyable. C’est pas acceptable
    non plus", exprime-t-il.
    Des questions toujours sans réponse

    Martin Michaud, 38 ans, a été retrouvé mort dans sa chambre d’hôpital
    le matin du 9 février 2019.

    Deux jours plus tôt, Charles Murray avait publié un rapport accablant
    sur des cas de mauvais traitements dans cet hôpital psychiatrique.

    Il affirmait que des patients étaient "victimes d'actes de négligence,
    de violence et de traitements inacceptables", et que l’établissement
    souffrait d’une pénurie criante de personnel.

    nord du Nouveau-Brunswick.

    Vitalité maintient que l’établissement est sécuritaire pour les
    patients, mais de nombreuses questions sur la mort de Martin Michaud
    demeurent sans réponse.

    Il est notamment impossible de savoir ce qui s’est passé dans les
    trois heures qui se sont écoulées entre le moment où un employé a
    vérifié l’état du patient pour la dernière fois et le moment où son
    corps a été retrouvé sans vie.

    Les informations contenues dans les documents partagés avec CBC ne
    permettent pas d’expliquer les raisons pour lesquelles aucun employé
    n’était présent à cet instant crucial.
    Le PDG du Réseau de santé Vitalité, Gilles Lanteigne

    Les représentants de Vitalité n’ont pas souhaité accorder une nouvelle
    entrevue sur cette affaire.

    "Tout ce qui devait être fait dans ce dossier a été fait, incluant
    certains changements à nos procédures internes. Le réseau s’est
    exprimé publiquement sur cette affaire à de nombreuses reprises en
    2019 et en 2020 et aucun commentaire additionnel ne sera émis pour
    l’instant", écrit Gilles Lanteigne par courriel.

    L’automne dernier, le PDG de Vitalité, Gilles Lanteigne, a déclaré que
    le réseau de santé avait apporté des changements après le décès de
    Martin Michaud.

    Le CHR a notamment révisé son système afin de s’assurer que des
    contrôles de routine soient effectués. Les membres du personnel
    doivent maintenant confirmer qu'ils ont vu le patient respirer. Ils
    doivent également noter l’heure de ces visites et les partager avec un
    superviseur.
    De longs délais

    Lorsque le réseau CBC a initialement demandé de l’information sur la
    mort de Martin Michaud, Vitalité a refusé en expliquant que cela
    représenterait une atteinte à la vie privée.

    CBC a fait appel de cette décision et plusieurs mois plus tard,
    Vitalité a partagé deux documents : les recommandations découlant de
    la mort de Martin Michaud, ainsi qu’un rapport d’incident caviardé.
    Une courte note de service indiquant uniquement la date des faits, le
    nom et l'âge du patient ainsi que le numéro de sa chambre.

    à la suite du suicide de Martin Michaud au Centre hospitalier
    Restigouche en février 2019.

    C’est à ce moment que CBC a demandé une enquête formelle.

    L’ombudsman Charles Murray dit qu’il ne croyait pas le réseau de santé
    lorsque ce dernier affirmait ne pas avoir d’autres documents.

    "L’idée qu'à la fin de cette enquête, nous avions seulement quelques
    pages, ce n'est pas une situation particulièrement crédible", a
    déclaré Murray en entrevue avec CBC.

    Ce n'est que lorsque l’ombudsman a entamé une enquête officielle sur
    la plainte de CBC que Vitalité a dévoilé plus d'informations

    Charles Murray croit que, dans certains cas, des petites organisations
    qui ne répondent pas souvent à des demandes en vertu de la Loi sur
    l’accès à l’information peuvent faire des erreurs. Il ne croit pas que
    cela s’applique dans le cas de Vitalité.

    I have the advantage, sir, of having read many of your emails over the years.


    As such, I do not think a phone conversation between us, and
    specifically one which you might mistakenly assume was in response to
    your threat of legal action against me, is likely to prove a
    productive use of either of our time.


    If there is some specific matter about which you wish to communicate
    with me, feel free to email me with the full details and it will be
    given due consideration.


    Sincerely,


    Charles Murray

    Ombud NB

    >>
    >> Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
    >>
    >> PRESENT:        The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
    >>
    >> BETWEEN:
    >>
    >> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
    >>
    >> Plaintiff
    >>
    >> and
    >>
    >> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
    >>
    >> Defendant
    >>
    >> ORDER
    >>
    >> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
    >> December 14, 2015)
    >>
    >> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
    >> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
    >> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
    >> in its entirety.
    >>
    >> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
    >> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
    >> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
    >> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
    >> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter
    >> he stated:
    >>
    >> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
    >> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
    >> You are your brother’s keeper.
    >>
    >> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
    >> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
    >> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
    >> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
    >> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
    >> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
    >> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
    >> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
    >> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
    >> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
    >> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
    >> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
    >> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
    >> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
    >> Police.
    >>
    >> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
    >> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
    >> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
    >> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
    >> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
    >> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
    >> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
    >> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
    >> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
    >>
    >>
    >> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
    >> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There
    >> is no order as to costs.

    Property tax review of large N.B. mills not yet public

    Re-inspection of mills that had property taxes slashed in 2013 had a completion deadline of Sept. 1

     
     
    Robert Jones· CBC News· Posted: Sep 11, 2020 6:00 AM AT

     

    J.D. Irving Ltd. owns three of the six mills the province has been re-evaluating for property tax purposes in a study that had a hard deadline of Sept. 1. (CBC)

    Service New Brunswick is not saying what happened with a major property assessment review it did of the province's six pulp and paper mills that had a hard completion deadline of last week.

    Even Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs is saying he doesn't know the results.

    "Municipal taxation levels on heavy industry — understanding that they are paying fair taxes is a must.  There isn't any other way to look at it and that study is well underway," Higgs told the CBC Leaders Forum Wednesday evening in an apparent reference to the pulp and paper mill tax review

    "Hopefully I'll be back in government but whoever is there will see the outcome of that study."

    Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs said Wednesday industry has to pay fair taxes but he has not yet seen the updated valuation done on the province's mills. (CBC)
     

    Property assessments at the mills, including two in Saint John and one each in Edmundston, Atholville, Nackawic and Lake Utopia, were lowered $130.7 million by Service New Brunswick in 2013 because of an international  slump in pulp and paper markets.  

    That saved the group $5.9 million per year in property tax, about half of which was paid to their host communities.

    Mills were being re-inspected 

    In 2019 Service New Brunswick announced it was "re-inspecting" the mills to see if markets for paper products had improved enough to undo some or all of the tax relief,  an issue of significant interest in the mill communities. 

    The results had a preset deadline of Sept. 1 this year, which by chance fell directly in the middle of the election campaign, but so far Service New Brunswick is not saying what its "Heavy Industrial Team" of assessors found after more than a year of study.

     
    Service New Brunswick assesses all property in New Brunswick for tax purposes and surprised municipalities in 2013 by a decision to cut the tax value of provincial pulp and paper mills by $130.7 million, which is more than 50 per cent. (CBC)
     

    CBC News was told a meeting would be held Thursday afternoon to discuss the mill findings, but no update was provided by the end of day.

    Earlier this year Blaine Higgs said he is the one who asked for the review and said property taxes on them should go back up if markets have changed.

    "I have said these very words to the department: I want the same conditions looked at that caused those rates to go down and compare markets today," said Higgs  

    "Whatever conditions were set then and if they're different, then we should be applying that same logic and the rates should change accordingly."

    A reduction in property tax 

    The pulp and paper mills, three owned by JD 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.  They were 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.

     
    The paper mill in Edmundston was one of six in the province that received substantial property assessment reductions seven years ago. It cost the city over $700,000 in reduced tax revenue in the first year. (CBC)
     

    Nackawic, which lost $450,000 in revenue, raised property tax rates 4 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 and Edmundston just over $700,000 from the changes.

    The study had to be completed by Sept. 1 to feed into tax base calculations the province uses to set 2021 grant amounts for municipalities that are released in the fall.

    Conroy's sole reason for running in politics was over the language
    issue, no other reason. Therefore, she joined the party with a single
    issue, bilingualism. Sure, their sole claim to fame is changing motor
    vehicule registration requirement from one to two year. Big deal!

    4 days before the election we finally get a platform. I'm wondering,
    how those approximately 100,000 folks who voted in the advance polls,
    could possibly say they made an informed decision if any one of them
    voted Conservative?
    Talk about disrespect for the citizens of New Brunswick.

    How so?
    Mr Higgs released his platform yesterday, 4 days before election day, fact.
    Advance polls, held this past Saturday/Tuesday netted approximately
    70,000 votes and 30,000 votes, respectively (as reported here) fact.
    How do you make an "informed decision" without knowing "the details"
    (hint: ask any lawyer)? If you voted without knowing "the details" you
    are ignorant of the details, fact.
    Calling an election, having the signs all ready, but having no
    platform ready is ... » more

    >> people who have indicated they wish to participate in this pre-hearing

    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  Good morning, Mr. Chair, John Furey for New Brunswick
    >> Power Corporation.  I am accompanied this morning at counsel table by
    >> Stephen Russell.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Mr. Furey.  David Amos?  Mr. Amos, did you put
    >> your microphone on?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Here.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you.  Enbridge Gas New Brunswick?
    >>
    >>   MR. VOLPE:  Good morning, Mr. Chair.  Paul Volpe, Enbridge Gas New
    >> Brunswick.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Mr. Volpe.  Gerald Bourque?
    >>
    >>   MR. BOURQUE:  Gerald Bourque is here.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Mr. Bourque.  J.D. Irving, Limited?
    >>
    >>   MR. STEWART:  Christopher Stewart, Mr. Chairman.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Mr. Stewart.  New Clear Free Solutions?
    >>
    >>   MR. ROUSE:  Good morning, Mr. Chair.  Chris Rouse, for the record.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Mr. Rouse.  Roger Richard?
    >>
    >>   MR. RICHARD:  Oui, je suis Richard.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you.  Sussex Sharing Club?  Not here today.
    >> Utilities Municipal?
    >>
    >>   MR. STOLL:  Good morning, Mr. Chair.  It is Mr. Stoll.  With me is
    >> Mr. Garrett and Ms. Kelly.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Mr. Stoll.  Utilities Municipal?  Sorry,
    >> Public Intervenor?
    >>
    >>   MS. BLACK:  Good morning, Mr. Chair, Heather Black.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Ms. Black.  New Brunswick Energy and Utilities
    >> Board?
    >>   MS. DESMOND:  Good morning, Mr. Chair.  Ellen Desmond and from Board
    >> Staff, John Lawton.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Ms. Desmond.  So today's pre-hearing
    >> conference will deal with the normal issues that we deal with at
    >> pre-hearing conferences, generally is the hearing schedule and
    >> process.  But as well we have requests for intervenor status from
    >> eight different entities and we have an objection to one of those
    >> requests for intervenor status and that is the status of Mr. Amos.  So
    >> I think that before we get into the schedule, I think it would be
    >> useful to go through the requests for intervenor status.  I am just
    >> going to wait here a moment.
    >>      All right, i guess the sound system has been fixed.  So we are on the
    >> request for intervenor status.  The Public Intervenor of course is
    >> deemed to be a party pursuant to Section 49.3 of the EUB Act.  And
    >> then we have requests for intervenor status from David Amos, Enbridge
    >> Gas New Brunswick, Gerald Bourque, J.D. Irving, Limited, New Clear
    >> Free Solutions, Roger Richard, Sussex Sharing Club and Utilities
    >> Municipal.  And as I had indicated, the Board received a written
    >> objection to the intervention of Mr. Amos.
    >>      So, Mr. Furey, do you have any issue with any of the other registered
    >> participants today?
    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  No, we don't, Mr. Chair, and the only additional comment
    >> I would make around that is that we recognize that not every proposed
    >> intervenor has necessarily complied perfectly with the provisions of
    >> Rule 3.2.4, but those that have not that we don't object to, we have a
    >> general understanding already of the issues that they would bring to
    >> the proceeding.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you.  The Board has in fact reviewed the requests
    >> that we have received for intervenor status.  One of the -- one of the
    >> issues that you raise with respect to Mr. Amos is that he has not
    >> indicated in his form -- in his registration form the reason for his
    >> intervention.  And in reviewing them, I note that the only other form
    >> where I see that is the form filled out by Mr. Bourque.  So at this
    >> stage I just want -- Mr. Bourque perhaps -- you know, you may not have
    >> understood that on these intervenor requests that it's intended that
    >> you would indicate why you want intervenor status, what issues you
    >> would be raising at the hearing.  Would you be able to provide that
    >> information at this time?  I appreciate it's not on your form.
    >>
    >>   MR. BOURQUE:  Well I'm not very versed in all these procedures and I
    >> was coming to learn what was going on, and I was -- if there is issues
    >> that come up that I don't agree with, I certainly will speak on it,
    >> but I don't have anything prepared ahead of time.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So are you a customer of NB Power and what rate class --
    >> if so, what rate class would you, you know, purport to represent at
    >> this hearing?
    >>
    >>   MR. BOURQUE:  I'm a customer of NB Power and I'm just a resident and --
    >> yes.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So is your intervention with respect to residential
    >> customers or is it broader than that?
    >>
    >>   MR. BOURQUE:  I'm basically representing myself and -- yes.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Thank you.
    >>
    >>   MR. BOURQUE:  Thank you.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So, Mr. Amos, before we get into the discussion with
    >> respect to your status as intervenor, because there has been an
    >> objection filed, again your intervenor request does not set out the
    >> reasons for your request to be an intervenor.  So just like I have put
    >> those questions to Mr. Bourque, could you perhaps just expand upon the
    >> rate class that perhaps you are a customer in and what perspective you
    >> would bring to this hearing?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Mr. Gorman, I just became aware of this motion as I
    >> entered this room.  I'm just starting to read it now.  I request time
    >> to study it before I argue it.  With that said, as I said in the last
    >> hearing, residential class ratepayer, the reason I'm intervening in
    >> this matter is because of my two friends here.  Both have concerns
    >> with these rate increases.  My friend Roger in particular has to do
    >> with the smart meters and Gerald with the expenses and the debts
    >> incurred by NB Power.  Both of these fellows are not familiar with how
    >> court processes work and they asked me to help them with this matter.
    >> I was done with you -- 357 and preparing to sue you, sir.  I said I
    >> will help them intervene because of his concerns about smart meters,
    >> his concerns about the debts involving site meters and other things,
    >> and my concerns about the severe lack of ethics of all the officers of
    >> the court in this room.  Mr. Furey is familiar with me when he worked
    >> for the attorney General.
    >>      Now in the last hearing that I was at I was invited to a meeting in a
    >> boardroom of Stewart McKelvey, the very people that appear to have
    >> filed this motion, saying I don't know my business.  At this meeting I
    >> wasn't allowed to share what was said, although all the intervenors,
    >> including Hugh Segal's associate, listened in --
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, if I could just interrupt for a moment --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  It has to do with ratepayers --
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  No, no.  Excuse me, please.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  -- and site --
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Please, Mr. Amos --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Your question is site meters, sir.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, could you just hold back your remarks for a
    >> moment.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I'm reading this motion.  I'm much offended.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Look, before we get to the motion, all I have asked you
    >> is for you --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Site meters, sir.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Sorry?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Site meters.  $122 million and then the write-off of the
    >> existing meters.  I believe that's in the mandate of this, correct?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  So you are saying that you are intending to
    >> intervene in this proceeding because of the --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I'm watching you, sir.  You are at the end of your term
    >> February 1st.  Jack Keir appointed you ten years ago February 1st.  I
    >> wonder --
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, I'm --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  -- who the next Chair is going to be.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, could you try to stay on topic here.  The question
    >> --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I'm checking your integrity in helping my friends with
    >> their concerns about the expenses of NB Power in site meters.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  So, Mr. Amos, are you telling me that your
    >> intervention would be around the advanced meter infrastructure?  Is
    >> that the reason that you want to intervene?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  And the rate increase in and of itself is unnecessary.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I have many reasons --
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Could I --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  -- but I think it's a matter for another court after
    >> reading this motion.  They mentioned the Federal Court of Appeal.  You
    >> must be aware of me in the Federal Court, right?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Sir, that's the matter --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Have you read this motion?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- that we are now discussing.  Sir, that's not what we
    >> are talking about right now.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Well that's what I'm talking about.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  I want to know the reason for your intervention and you
    >> have said --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Site meters and this rate increase and the write down of
    >> the current meters.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  So you have indicated that you are here because
    >> you want to assist --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Are you double-talking?  That's exactly what I said.
    >> It's on the record.  I'm here because I take offence to the deal with
    >> -- what is it, Siemens -- for 122 million and then the cost of
    >> installing these meters so that the ratepayers will have to pay more
    >> during certain times of the day when they use a dryer when Mr. Furey
    >> decides it's not proper.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  So --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  He forgets who owns NB Power.  We do.  You too.  We are
    >> the ratepayers.  As I said in the last hearing, you should protect
    >> your own interest, Mr. Gorman.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So, Mr. Amos, we are going to set aside the issue of
    >> whether or not you will be an intervenor to give you an opportunity to
    >> read that material.  I understand that it would have been served
    >> electronically on all parties, at least that's the rule.  Mr. Furey,
    >> can you --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I never saw it until this morning.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Can you confirm that it would have been sent to an email
    >> address provided by Mr. Amos?
    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  That's correct, Mr. Chair.  It was sent yesterday
    >> morning to the distribution list in this proceeding including Mr.
    >> Amos' email that he had provided.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I need to remind Mr. Furey that he used to work for the
    >> Attorney General when I served NB Power in 2006.  He and I spoke
    >> personally in 2005.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So, Mr. Amos, we are not going to hear that immediately.
    >> The documentation -- I think most of it is documentation that you
    >> previously filed, so I'm assuming that you are --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I'm glad to argue every single word that I filed in 357.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So I'm assuming that you are familiar with that.  It's the
    >> --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I'm very familiar with every word that I filed.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, if I gave you 20 minutes to read that, is that
    >> enough time?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  20 minutes?  Could you argue that document in 20 minutes?
    >>  Let me take 20 minutes to study it but I don't know what you guys are
    >> talking about in the meantime I should pay attention to.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So I think what we will do is we will set that aside for
    >> a moment and we will move on to scheduling and we will come back to
    >> that.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Because I want to pay attention to every word you are
    >> saying this morning.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, we are going to set this issue aside for now,
    >> then we are going to have a break and I'm going to give you an
    >> opportunity to have a look at it.  But my point is that the vast
    >> majority of the material that was filed was material that came from
    >> you.  So I assume you are familiar with that part of it.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Let me back up.  When I first introduced myself on a
    >> pre-hearing for 357, I was opposing a former public intervenor wanting
    >> to get on the gravy train again.  I explained myself when I introduced
    >> myself at that, that every lawyer in the room should know who I was,
    >> including you.  I sent you emails where I sent you emails ten years
    >> ago.  That said, I know who I am.  I was there to oppose a former
    >> public intervenor wanting to get paid by his own assistant.  I opposed
    >> that.  I can speak on my behalf, Gerald can speak on his behalf, Roger
    >> can speak on his behalf.  Why should anybody be paid?
    >>      After that I was invited by NB Power, Mr. Furey, to a secret meeting
    >> to discuss this.  They wanted to pick my brains to see what my issues
    >> were.  And we couldn't disclose what was said in the room.
    >>      I clearly stated what my issues were, conflict of interest by law
    >> firms.  Good example.  The people that filed this motion today, JDI,
    >> Stewart McKelvey, are also employed by NB Power to litigate to collect
    >> for Lepreau.  That's conflict of interest.  And then we have McInnes
    >> and Cooper and then we have and then we have and then we have.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  So I asked all these questions in confidence.  They said
    >> it's a matter for the hearing.  So then we go to have a hearing and
    >> you cancel the hearing so I can't ask the questions.  I said fine, we
    >> will see you in another court.  Then my friends asked me for my
    >> assistance over this rate increase and site meters in particular and
    >> the rate increase in general.  I said fine, I will let you guys do the
    >> talking and I will advise you because you are not familiar.  Any time
    >> that I decide to speak I will because I have a right to.  But since
    >> you people want to attack me, I'm all for it, but I need to study what
    >> you are up to first.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Mr. Amos, I'm going to cut you off there. So on
    >> the request for intervenor status we are going to grant intervenor
    >> status to Enbridge Gas New Brunswick, Gerald Bourque, J.D. Irving,
    >> Limited, New Clear Free Solutions, Roger Richard, Sussex Sharing Club
    >> and Utilities Municipal were the PIs already indicated as deemed to be
    >> a party pursuant to Section 49.3 of the EUB Act.  And, Mr. Amos, we
    >> will set aside your request to be an intervenor until we have dealt
    >> with other matters and we will come back to that a little bit later
    >> and I will give you an opportunity to review the material that you
    >> would not be familiar with.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I thank you for that.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So before I get to the schedule, are there any other
    >> matters that need to be dealt with prior to schedule?  Mr. Furey?
    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  The only other issue -- we don't have to deal with it
    >> now, Mr. Chair -- is that we did file as well yesterday -- I filed
    >> later in the afternoon a draft proposed confidentiality undertaking
    >> for this proceeding, and the parties may not have had a full
    >> opportunity to review it, but I pointed out the only changes that have
    >> been made from that that was approved in Matter 336.  And so if we
    >> were able to, before the end of the day, have an understanding as to
    >> whether parties accept that or if there is any objection to the
    >> changes that would be helpful.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  And that was circulated to all parties?
    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  Yes, it was.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Just remind me of that before I adjourn this for
    >> the day if we don't -- if I don't end up coming back to it.
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >> MR. FUREY:  So, Mr. Chairman, I am not sure I fully understood.  Are
    >> you suggesting that rebuttal evidence could be filed at any time prior
    >> to the hearing or -- I didn't understand if you wanted it early or
    >> later?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Well I suppose in a perfect world, there wouldn't be any
    >> need for rebuttal evidence so --
    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  Oh, agreed.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- and as I said, the schedules, if you go back into the
    >> hearings in 2004, 2005, I don't think the schedules actually even
    >> provided for rebuttal evidence.  I think it's something that has kind
    >> of crept into the system and it adds time, because if you look at the
    >> additional responses for Motions Day on January 30th, you know, then
    >> there is this period of time to allow for the filing of rebuttal
    >> evidence, but it's actually -- well I guess you are really -- the
    >> filing time is noon, so you are really talking about a day and a half
    >> to file it.  I don't why the hearing couldn't start the next day.  I
    >> am not suggesting we push it back.  But that, for example, is a time
    >> lapse that isn't necessary, in my view.  And if we were to move the
    >> November 8th date forward, and maybe I would have to canvass the
    >> parties, and maybe this might be an opportunity to have a bit of a
    >> break so that -- because I think if the November 8th date was moved by
    >> a week or whatever, I mean I think the parties will give you very
    >> quickly their view on where that needs to go to and where the
    >> opportunity -- I have heard from several parties that were concerned
    >> about the filing date for intervenor evidence.  I think at least three
    >> of them.  So if that could change and we could do something with the
    >> rebuttal evidence, we may be able to come up with a schedule that's a
    >> bit of a hybrid, you know, of all these -- the concern I have, I
    >> understand and I appreciate the comments if we book 15 days, we will
    >> use it.  Hopefully, you know, that's not the case.  I am more
    >> concerned really about the other side of this is that we book only 10
    >> days.  We really needed 11 or 12 and parties just can't seem to find
    >> the time to come back until March the 18th or something like that,
    >> because their schedules have filled up.  Nobody is going to hold this
    >> time for this hearing just in case.  So I really wonder if, you know,
    >> we would be cutting it too close.  I think -- I mean, certainly the
    >> panel is willing to work long days, you know, whatever is necessary,
    >> but there is a point where you start to lose some efficiencies.  You
    >> know, if you are starting very early, and you are going very late, I
    >> wonder if the people who are participating late in the day about the
    >> third or fourth day you are doing that, you know, are you getting the
    >> same level of attention as somebody else who is participating when you
    >> are fresh.  So I mean, you can only work those hearings, those long
    >> days so long until a little bit of fatigue, you know, settles in and I
    >> don't want any party to be disadvantaged by that.
    >>      So I am going to take a brief adjournment here, say 20 minutes or so,
    >> that will give Mr. Amos an opportunity to read the material that was
    >> filed yesterday.  And since Mr. Amos has indicated that he is okay
    >> with whatever schedule is set, then perhaps the parties that have been
    >> declared to be intervenors in this matter can just provide their
    >> input.  I think this is very doable to work within those constraints.
    >> I am -- I share Ms. Desmond's concern about the AMI.  I would very
    >> much liked to have seen AMI come as a separate and distinct hearing,
    >> because it is the first capital project this Board has been asked to
    >> approve, and as everybody knows, we have a major capital project
    >> coming in Mactaquac.  And so in a sense, this would have been very
    >> helpful to have us hone our skills on the capital spend.  So I am very
    >> mindful, and I am very much in agreement, quite frankly, with what she
    >> said.  With those comments, I am going to adjourn for -- it's 10:35.
    >> We will come back at 11:00 o'clock, unless the parties have -- well I
    >> am going to give Mr. Amos at least 20 minutes anyway.  So we will come
    >> back at exactly 11:00 o'clock.  Hopefully, we will have a schedule
    >> that can work and then we will hear argument with respect to Mr. Amos'
    >> status in this matter.  Thank you.
    >>
    >>     (Recess)
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  All right, well that -- I guess that break took more like
    >> an hour but we have given Mr. Amos a little more time to review the
    >> documentation pertaining to him.  So my understanding is that perhaps
    >> the parties have come up with a suggested schedule.  Is that correct,
    >> Mr. Furey?
    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  That is correct, Mr. Chair.
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  With respect to the public day or days, it is the
    >> intention of the Board to do this part of the session.  We have had
    >> some suggestions from many of the participants that it would be very
    >> useful to hear from the public perhaps not just on the day of -- on a
    >> hearing day but perhaps in advance, and we are currently looking at
    >> whether or not we may be able to do one or more than one, and that
    >> seems to be the week that works the best.  So we will simply advise
    >> when it is.  I know that the applicant, for example, always wants to
    >> be present and it may or may not work out for certain people within
    >> the organization that feel it's important for them to be there, but
    >> this is the week that we will be scheduling either one or two
    >> sessions.
    >>      And at this point in time I'm not sure where it will be.  I can tell
    >> you that it will not be in Saint John.  It will be somewhere else in
    >> the province for sure.
    >>      The other thing is with respect to how we structure the hearing, I
    >> don't think that we necessarily need to do that today.  I think we
    >> need to set the days aside.  I think it would be -- I am going to
    >> encourage the parties to see if in fact they can attempt to come up
    >> with a schedule that works best for all concerned.  We know that there
    >> are experts that have been retained by a couple of the intervenors and
    >> perhaps it will be by more than a couple of intervenors.  And so to
    >> try to schedule it so that again it minimizes costs I think would be
    >> useful.  So rather than establishing a date to do that, you know,
    >> along the way, for example, there are motions days that don't get used
    >> or just some other time, it doesn't need to be formal, but I think it
    >> would be useful for parties to talk about that.  We -- the intention
    >> of the Board would be that we would start with the GRA and move on to
    >> the capital project, you know, second, but, you know, if parties want
    >> to do it differently then, you know, we need to hear that.
    >>      So just I guess going down the list of things that we need to talk
    >> about, the confidentiality agreement has been circulated.  Also there
    >> was a three line explanation of the changes in this confidentiality
    >> agreement from previous confidentiality agreements.  So I don't know
    >> if the parties have had enough time to consider the form of that
    >> agreement or not or have any comments.  So I will just go down through
    >> the list.  Mr. Amos, have you looked at the agreement?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Yes.  I had just a -- I had a quick glance at it and I
    >> had an issue with it in the 357 matter.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Yes.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  And I sent an email to Mr. Furey, et cetera, and I said
    >> don't give me anything that's confidential, and therefore I can't be
    >> accused of disclosing something I shouldn't.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  So --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  He never answered me.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  So your position really is you are not signing it
    >> no matter what form it's in if it requires you to keep information --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  This is a public hearing.  This is a publicly owned
    >> corporation billing the public, and if you don't want the public to
    >> know something, then I don't want to know.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  I understand.  So you don't have a position of the form
    >> itself.  You are not going to sign a confidentiality document.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I find the form offensive in and of itself.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  All right.  Thank you.  Mr. Volpe?
    >>
    >>   MR. VOLPE:  No other comment, Mr. Chair.  Thank you.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Bourque?
    >>
    >>   MR. BOURQUE:  I understand that these are public hearings and that
    >> why is this information being kept from the public is my question.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Well, Mr. Bourque, the issue here really is the form of
    >> the confidentiality agreement.  Legislation provides for information
    >> that of a certain nature can be -- there can be a claim for
    >> confidentiality.  There can be challenges to those claims.  But there
    >> is a process.  So the issue really is the form.  Do you have any issue
    >> with the form?
    >>
    >>   MR. BOURQUE:  I'm not really sure on that.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  All right.  Thank you.  Mr. Stewart?
    >>
    >>   MR. STEWART:  Mr. Chairman, to be honest, I haven't really had much
    >> of an opportunity -- I know Mr. Furey sent that yesterday afternoon --
    >> to have a look.  So I did note in his email, you know, the difference,
    >> but I'm really not in a position to say I'm fine with it at this
    >> particular moment in time.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So are you asking for some additional time to provide
    >> comments to the Board or are you satisfied if the Board makes a
    >> decision this morning?
    >>
    >>   MR. STEWART:  I'm satisfied if the Board makes a decision.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you.  Mr. Rouse?
    >>
    >>   MR. ROUSE:  No comments.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Richard?
    >>
    >>   MR. RICHARD:  Oui monsieur président.  Mais je pense que je
    >>     n’ai pas reçu la formule moi aussi parce que j’ai trompé
    >>     en être poursuivi.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you.  Mr. Stoll?
    >>
    >>   MR. STOLL:  We are satisfied if the Board just makes a decision this
    >> morning.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Ms. Black?
    >>
    >>   MR. BLACK:  I have no issues with the form.  Thank you.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you.  Ms. Desmond, Board staff don't need to sign
    >> it anyway, do they?
    >>
    >>   MS. DESMOND:  We don't, no, Mr. Chair, although I will just make one
    >> comment and that is I think under our Rules of Procedure there is a
    >> confidentiality undertaking pursuant to Rule 6.5.  So I appreciate
    >> this is perhaps a document we have used historically but it may be
    >> something going forward the Board may want to turn its mind to whether
    >> or not there is a standard undertaking that can be used for all
    >> matters.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  That's an excellent idea and perhaps we might even do a
    >> practice note or something with reference to that.  Okay.
    >>      Well having heard from the parties this morning, the document that
    >> has been put forward as the proposed confidentiality agreement in fact
    >> will be the one that will be approved for use in this proceeding.
    >>      One other preliminary issue would be the exhibit list.  We typically
    >> mark the documents that have been filed up to the present time as
    >> exhibits in this matter.  Anybody have any objection to that?  All
    >> right.  There being no objection then, the exhibit list that has been
    >> circulated and for the benefit of the court reporter, that is a five
    >> page document entitled, Exhibit List, and it starts with exhibit 1.01,
    >> Notice of Application, and it goes right through to document 3.01,
    >> Affidavit of Publishing, and each of those documents will become an
    >> exhibit in this proceeding under the heading NBP 1.01, NBP 1.02, et
    >> cetera.  So I don't think, since nobody has any objections, it's
    >> necessary to read out the entire list.
    >>      I also understand that -- I believe it's in the list here -- that the
    >> affidavit -- just for the record, exhibit 3.01, the Affidavit of
    >> Publishing has been filed verifying that in fact NB Power has complied
    >> with the Board Order with respect to publishing a notification of this
    >> matter.
    >>      So other than the issue relating to Mr. Amos' status as an
    >> intervenor, are there any other issues that we need to deal with this
    >> morning?
    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  I don't believe so, Mr. Chair.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  So turning then to the objection to Mr. Amos being
    >> named as an intervenor or becoming an intervenor in this matter -- all
    >> right.  So, Mr. Furey, we have looked at your notice of objection to
    >> the intervenor request and if I may attempt to summarize it, it really
    >> relies on two grounds, and I think the first three paragraphs in your
    >> notice of objection deal with Rule 3.2.2 of the Rules of Procedure
    >> indicating the party must demonstrate a substantial interest in the
    >> proceeding and an intent to participate actively and responsibly.  And
    >> so there is a responsibility there to show what their interest is.
    >> The second part of your objection here deals with the requirement to
    >> participate responsibly.
    >>      With respect to the first part of your objection, Mr. Amos this
    >> morning clarified, you know, the basis of what his interest is in the
    >> proceeding and essentially how that interest justified the granting of
    >> intervenor status.  Do you have anything further to say on that aspect
    >> of it or is essentially most of the objection -- certainly by volume
    >> here most of the objection seems to be on the contention here that
    >> perhaps he may not participate responsibly.
    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  Yes.  That would be the focus of my submissions here this
    >> morning.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  And would you agree that Mr. Amos has in fact essentially
    >> fulfilled the obligations of the first part of what had been your
    >> objection?
    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  I would.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  So with respect to the duty to participate
    >> responsibly, you filed documentation which has been provided to all
    >> the parties and the Board of course has read it, as I'm sure others
    >> have.  Do you -- I guess it's your objection.  So is there anything
    >> that you want to highlight here or anything further you want to add?
    >>
    >>   MR. FUREY:  Yes.  If I might have a few minutes to do that, I would
    >> appreciate it, Mr. Chair.
    >>      So I mean, I guess the starting point is what -- what is the
    >> requirement -- what is the content of the requirement to participate
    >> in a responsible fashion, and the rules don't -- don't give us any
    >> further guidance on that.  But I would suggest that the content of
    >> that requirement is that it is an obligation of an intervenor to raise
    >> issues that are relevant to the jurisdiction of the Board in the
    >> proceeding and not issues that are extraneous or completely unrelated,
    >> and to do so -- while recognizing that we are in an adversarial
    >> process, to do so in a respectful and civil fashion.  And our
    >> submission is that the material on which we rely, which is all Mr.
    >> Amos' -- either all of Mr. Amos' documents or the transcript of a
    >> motion that was argued on October 5th of this year demonstrates I
    >> would say quite clearly that Mr. Amos is not capable of that type of
    >> reasonable participation in the process.
    >>      And generally, and I said this in paragraph 5 of the notice of the
    >> objection -- generally a review of Mr. Amos' documents discloses a
    >> pattern of behaviour that is confrontational in nature and is
    >> characterized by unsubstantiated allegations of unethical or illegal
    >> behaviour by various political figures, judges, lawyers, law
    >> enforcement officials.
    >>      I think it's worth noting that Mr. Amos' own documents show that he
    >> has, on at least one occasion and perhaps two, been banned or barred
    >> from the grounds of the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly on the
    >> basis of harassment of MLAs, officers and staff of the Legislative
    >> Assembly.  Having been so barred, he brought a complaint against the
    >> members of the Fredericton City police force to the Police Commission,
    >> that was subsequently dismissed, relating to their involvement in
    >> barring him from the Legislative Assembly.
    >>      I am going to spend a little time, Mr. Chair, with respect to Mr.
    >> Amos' complaint against Judge Henrik Tonning to the New Brunswick
    >> Judicial Council, and that appears at appendix D of the objection.
    >> And in particular two pages in, there is an affidavit that Mr. Amos
    >> submitted in a provincial court case.  And in that affidavit -- and
    >> I'm going to very quickly move through this -- at paragraph 9 he first
    >> deals with Prosecutor James McAvity and he indicates that Prosecutor
    >> McAvity should have been questioned as to his malice and/or
    >> competence.  So he is questioning the malice and competence of the
    >> Crown Prosecutor.  He goes on to say he certainly would not wish the
    >> likes of Ms. Gallagher defending his rights or interests before the
    >> court.  At paragraph 22 he states, it appears to me that not only are
    >> the actions of David Lutz malicious, but they are fraudulent as well.
    >> In my opinion he has no right to practice law for a fee but in fact he
    >> should be in jail.  And at paragraph 31 he speaks of a response he got
    >> from the RCMP External Review Committee which he viewed was
    >> predictable and unsatisfactory.
    >>      And just to go back to the beginning of that appendix, the initial
    >> complaint on the first page of that appendix, at the end of the -- at
    >> the end of the first -- second full paragraph, Mr. Amos makes it clear
    >> in his complaint that he is referring to proceedings in order to cover
    >> up the wrongful acts of the court and David Lutz.  In the next
    >> paragraph he points out that he is already complaining about Brad
    >> Green and his conduct.  Now at that time Brad Green would have been
    >> Attorney General.
    >>      So I wanted to take a moment to point those out because that is the
    >> pattern of Mr. Amos' involvement in legal proceedings.  It is to
    >> question the ethical or legal behaviour of virtually every lawyer or
    >> decision maker involved in the proceeding.  That is his pattern.  It
    >> continues.  If you go to the next exhibit, or next appendix, Appendix
    >> F, is a direction obviously from a judge of the Federal Court of
    >> Appeal to the Appeal Registry.  Please advise the parties that Mr.
    >> Amos has the right to submit a brief summary not to exceed five pages,
    >> to explain the exact conflict that in his view arises in this matter
    >> with any of the judges assigned to this appeal and to submit any
    >> additional documents that are relevant to the issue.
    >>      So in an ongoing -- and this is dated June 8th 2017 -- in an ongoing
    >> action or appeal in the Federal Court of Appeal, Mr. Amos is alleging
    >> conflict of the judges assigned to the appeal.  And that pattern
    >> continues, I would submit, in the present -- in his appearances before
    >> this Board.  The final appendix, Appendix I, to the notice of
    >> objection is a copy of the transcript of the hearing of Mr. Amos'
    >> motion in Matter 357.  And I think it's useful to remember that that
    >> motion was a motion to deal with the timing of the hearing of Matter
    >> 357.  The Board had previously granted NB Power's application or
    >> motion to adjourn the proceeding on terms and Mr. Amos essentially
    >> wanted that reheard.  So not something that you would regard as a
    >> contentious matter being the timing of the hearing.
    >>      But Mr. Amos' comments to the Board on that occasion again can only
    >> be characterized as confrontational.  I reviewed the transcript
    >> several times before today.  There is not really an argument in there
    >> that was germane to the issue of the timing of the hearing.  There was
    >> a lot of extraneous material.  And at the conclusion of his remarks,
    >> and I have specifically placed this in the notice of objection, when
    >> the Board Chair asked Mr. Amos if he had anything further to say, his
    >> reply was essentially to suggest to the Board Chair, and I will read
    >> what he said.
    >>      Yes.  Can you think of one good reason why I don't sue you, Mr.
    >> Gorman?  You have my documents.  Do you understand what are on file in
    >> your Board?  Do you not see where I am already in federal court suing
    >> the Queen?  Did I not properly introduce myself before you allowed me
    >> to be an intervenor?  Did I not explain my issues to this Board in no
    >> uncertain terms on June 15th?  And he is referring to an email that he
    >> had sent to a number of parties on June 15th.
    >>      I think we can expect, and we have seen it again here this morning,
    >> we can expect more of the same, arguments unrelated to the issue
    >> before the Board presented in a confrontational manner, which will, I
    >> would suggest to you, eventually turn to actions in other courts.  The
    >> pattern is that when Mr. Amos runs against a lawyer who acts against
    >> him, runs against a decision-maker who doesn't agree with him, then
    >> that issue is relitigated in other courts.  And while I think the
    >> standard here is simply one of is Mr. Amos likely to participate in a
    >> reasonable fashion, I do think it's useful to compare the situation to
    >> situations where courts have dealt with so-called vexatious litigants.
    >>      So I am not suggesting that that's the standard that be applied here
    >> -- that's not the standard to be applied here.  But I did submit to
    >> the Board yesterday afternoon a copy of a decision of Mr. Justice
    >> Morrison.  It's a very recent decision in which he dealt with an issue
    >> of determination of a vexatious litigant.  And at page -- the page
    >> numbering is a little weird in this document.  I am looking at
    >> paragraph 34 of the decision.  It's on what's referred to as page 68,
    >> but it's paragraph 34 of the decision.  And Mr. Justice Morrison noted
    >> that counsel on that hearing were unable to provide him with any New
    >> Brunswick cases considering the concept of a vexatious litigant, but
    >> they were able to refer him to an Ontario decision in Lang Michener
    >> Lash Johnston v Fabian.  And in that case, there is an outlining of
    >> the factors to be considered in determining whether or not a party
    >> meets the threshold of a vexatious litigant.  And I won't go through
    >> all of them, there are seven principles set out there, but (d) in my
    >> view is of particular application here.
    >>      And Justice Henry said, it is a general characteristic of vexatious
    >> proceedings that grounds and issues raised tend to be rolled forward
    >> into subsequent actions and repeated and supplemented, often with
    >> actions brought against the lawyers who have acted for or against the
    >> litigant in earlier proceedings.
    >>      And that's precisely Mr. Amos' pattern in the documents that he,
    >> himself, has disclosed to the Board.  While he has here this morning
    >> indicated to the Board that his interest revolves around issues of AMI
    >> in particular, and the expenses and capital associated with the AMI, I
    >> submit he is not capable of putting those positions forward in a
    >> cogent, respectful, reasonable manner.  His own history demonstrates
    >> that and his conduct before this Board to date confirms it.
    >>      And so while we are reluctant to make a request of this nature -- I
    >> mean, we have had many lay participants in my time before the Board.
    >> Mr. Rouse is here with us again this year.  I have never had any doubt
    >> about the issue that Mr. Rouse wanted to talk about.  He has always
    >> been very clear.  Mr. Hickey has been with us in the past.  Mr. Smith,
    >> on behalf of the Sussex Sharing Club is with us.  I have no doubt as
    >> to what the issue Mr. Smith wants to raise.  All have -- while there
    >> certainly have been some adversarial proceedings around those
    >> interventions, all have proceeded in a respectful fashion.  And so
    >> while it is not a step that we like to take, my submission is that it
    >> is in the public interest not to permit Mr. Amos to participate as an
    >> intervenor.  He will delay and frustrate this Board, and he will
    >> harass the participants -- other participants in the proceeding.  He
    >> will cause unnecessary aggravation and probably expense.  And so for
    >> those reasons, Mr. Chair, we submit that he not be granted intervenor
    >> status.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Mr. Furey.  So, Mr. Amos, now you were
    >> provided this morning with an hour to review Mr. Furey's documents
    >> that he filed with the Board, and I think it was three or four pages
    >> of documents.  The balance of documents were ones that you had filed
    >> in the past.  So you have had an opportunity to review his submission?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Absolutely.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  And you, of course, heard Mr. Furey's comments that he
    >> has just concluded.  So you know what the issue is that he raises?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I heard every word he said.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  So do you have a -- do you have some comments
    >> about what he is asking for?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Yes, Mr. Gorman, I do.  First off, I am grateful that he
    >> filed my documents in this matter.  However, he shouldn't cherry pick.
    >> If he is going to file my documents, he should file all that he has
    >> received.  But dealing with the exhibits that he has filed, he has now
    >> made a federal case out of a 2 percent rate hike.  I remind Mr. Furey
    >> that murder is a capital crime and when he worked for the Attorney
    >> General of New Brunswick in 2004, who was Brad Green, his boss
    >> received evidence of murder.  Brad Green acknowledged it.  He now sits
    >> on the bench of the Court of Appeal.
    >>      Anyway, I had ran for Parliament in 2004, the 38th Parliament against
    >> a member of your Board, John Herron.  That was when it was the Public
    >> Utilities Board.  David Young, who worked for another Crown
    >> Corporation, who is a senior advisor to your Board now, I believe got
    >> fired because I complained of him, because he wouldn't allow me to
    >> speak on the radio and give me equal time as my political opponents,
    >> just like Mr. Furey doesn't want me to speak before the Board today,
    >> even though I am a stakeholder in this hearing.  He has no more
    >> standing here than I do, other than he collects a big pay cheque that
    >> my taxpayer funds are paying.  But as an officer of the court, he is
    >> obliged to uphold the law.  He filed my documents in this matter.  I
    >> did not.  He did.  Then he says I am vexatious.  I am surprised he
    >> didn't call me frivolous as well.  The Crown usually calls me that.  I
    >> understand the term, vexatious.  He is the man who is vexatious.
    >>      In the 357 Matter, if we go first things first, there is a
    >> transcript, which I have uploaded, you can review it or I can read it
    >> to you.  You asked me why I was intervening. Exhibit A of his
    >> documents, I didn't know who Mr. Furey was.  I had no idea what
    >> lawyers or what was going on in 357, except on June 14th I heard on
    >> the radio Mr. Hyslop had a motion before this Board in a pre-hearing
    >> to be paid to help his assistant.  I saw red.  I remembered Mr. Hyslop
    >> from the PUB.  I remember Mr. Hyslop when I ran in Saint John Harbour,
    >> while he run against Abe LeBlanc.  I remember I was intervening in an
    >> NEB hearing and arguing Cedric Haines of NB Power while he worked for
    >> the Attorney General.  I remember talking to him about murdered
    >> Indians.  That said, all I had issues with was Mr. Hyslop wanting paid
    >> again.  I had checked from CBC and some years he was paid like
    >> $700,000.  I had issues with him in 2006. David Young wouldn't let me
    >> speak before the PUB Board even in a public hearing.  So I had to send
    >> a farmer.  That said, I am asking Hyslop, you are the Public
    >> Intervenor, what do you know of my concerns?  I had concerns about the
    >> refurbishment of Lepreau, Coleson Cove.  If you go on Charles
    >> LeBlanc's blog from April of 2006, you can even see I was dealing with
    >> a lawyer named Richard Costello -- same last name as you, sir -- who
    >> worked for McInnes Cooper, who was hired by Venezuela to check with
    >> the PUB as to when a pipeline went from the Irving refinery to Coleson
    >> Cove.  I wanted to know about that too.  So I talked to Mr. Costello.
    >> The email between Mr. Costello and I is still in Charles LeBlanc's
    >> blog from 2006.
    >>      While I was running for Parliament in Fredericton, and I doubt that
    >> Mr. Furey voted for me, I was running against Andy Scott, Minister of
    >> Indian Affairs and he worked for the Attorney General for Indian
    >> Affairs.  Now I went to high school with Andy Scott.  Barb Baird used
    >> to be Brad Green's boss.  I went to high school with her too.  Now I
    >> don't know if you guys know who I am, but many people in this neck of
    >> the woods do.  My brother-in-law's law firm partner helped Peter
    >> MacKay merge with Mr. Harper's party. When I sued Americans over
    >> taxation and about improper tax accountants like KPMG, Grant Thornton,
    >> ringing any bells? That was in 2002.  I am glad he brought up the
    >> Department of Homeland Security.  Those are the guys that tried to
    >> take me to Cuba in 2003 after I started winning lawsuits. You are
    >> right, I sue people that don't do their job.  Particularly, the people
    >> that are well paid to act in our best interests.  I file
    >> whistle-blower forms with the U.S. tax man and they try to arrest me.
    >> You are right, I sue them.  A lawyer calls me a liar, well he better
    >> check my work before he goes too far.
    >>      Anyway, NB Power, they have a mandate to uphold.  It's a Crown
    >> corporation.  David Alward, 2013 comes out with a new Act.  Got to
    >> follow the Act, fellows.  Now this hearing 357 was supposed to be
    >> within three years.  Now I don't know -- I don't pretend to know
    >> something I don't.  All I heard was Hyslop wanted on the gravy train.
    >> I took issue with that.  I email the guy that speaks for the Chairman
    >> of the Board.  I have spoke personally to Ed Barrett, personally.  I
    >> have spoken to Mr. Scott, his assistant.  He has a very funny voice
    >> mail.  Mr. Scott loves hearing me speak on the radio and on
    >> television.  Mr. Scott was the guy I knew had the ear of the Chairman.
    >> Now I served Derek Burney, who used to work with Mr. Mulroney, just
    >> like his partner, Hugh Segal, right.  I had served Derek Burney my
    >> stuff after I ran for Parliament in 2006, got a signature.  Why would
    >> I do that?  Because NB Power had hired Simpson Bartlett & Thatcher in
    >> New York to sue Venezuela.  Do you realize that Robert Mueller's
    >> lawyer comes from Simpson Bartlett & Thatcher?  Are you realizing
    >> what's going on?  Have you read the emails I sent you?  He talks about
    >> me in federal court on June 8th.  You are right I was in federal
    >> court, May 24th. Have you reviewed the documents I filed in federal
    >> court since that time?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, I am going to interrupt you for a moment.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Murder is a capital crime, sir.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, the issue that Mr. Furey raises --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Is that I am vexatious.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Well he says that he is reluctant to make this objection,
    >> but he -- in his view, he says you are not capable of putting
    >> positions forward in a cogent manner.  You are not --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Are you saying that?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- you are not speaking to the issue, which -- can I --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  All right.  Am I -- am I a person born and raised in this
    >> province?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  The issue here --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Did I run for Parliament five times?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, it would be appreciated --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Are you aware of why I am barred?  He brought it up.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, it would be appreciated if you would just
    >> listen for a moment.  So the issue here is whether or not you can
    >> stick to the issues that have to be dealt with in this particular
    >> matter, which is a general rate application.  We are dealing with the
    >> spending --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Have you read the filings in this matter?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Sir, would you just wait till I finish, please?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  No, I am arguing him and you.  You are on his side
    >> clearly.  Now your Vice-Chair will probably have the job in February,
    >> used to work for City Hall.  Do you remember Mr. Nugent and I, sir?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Sir, do you want to provide us with your --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  You have many of my documents that he did not file.  I
    >> sent them to you by email.  Do you remember receiving the emails from
    >> me in 2007, sir?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So one of the things that Mr. Furey says is --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Do you remember when Jack Keir appointed you?  I
    >> introduced myself to you then.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Sir, excuse me, but one of the things he says is you are
    >> not able to react in a --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  You can't answer a question.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- in a respectful fashion and you are not paying
    >> attention to the protocol here today.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  All right.  Let me ask you a question, sir?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  No, that's not what we are here for.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Have you understood one word I have said any time we have
    >> met?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, do you have anything to add to the record with
    >> respect to your respectful participation in this matter, in this
    >> process?  Mr. Furey says that you don't have the ability to stay on
    >> topic.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Are you saying that?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  I am telling you what the argument is that has
    >>     been put forward.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I know what he said.  I am asking you?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  And the argument that has been put forward is you don't
    >> have the ability to --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I heard what he said.  I told you that.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- stay on topic and to act in a respectful manner.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  All right.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Can you give me any information on that issue?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  You are the Chairman of the Board.  This is not your
    >> decision solely.  There is a Vice-Chair and another man.  One man is
    >> an accountant and the other a lawyer.  Now I don't know if the other
    >> two fellows read my documents.  I certainly hope that they did.  The
    >> man who is a chartered accountant should understand about Kevin Dancy
    >> and I.  He should certainly have understood what I am doing in federal
    >> court.  Now I thanked him for filing documents, but one interesting
    >> document he brought up in particular was the man I went to college
    >> with, Henrik Tonning.  He is a personal friend of mine.
    >>      Now if he had read that entire affidavit, I had been summoned to the
    >> court by a lawyer to file an affidavit.  He failed to mention that.
    >> But Henrik Tonning and I were once very good friends.  That affidavit
    >> that he just put in this matter no longer exists in provincial court.
    >> That's fraud practiced against me by the court.  Yes, I have contempt
    >> against officers of the court that fail to uphold the law.  Yes, I do
    >> not hesitate in suing lawyers.  I have sued more lawyers, and law
    >> firms, and attorney generals than probably anyone else on the planet.
    >> I am before the federal court right now and you guys will be mentioned
    >> in my next lawsuit that will be filed by Christmas.  Thank you for
    >> making it a federal matter.  That said my two friends have standing in
    >> this matter as much as I do.  You work for us.
    >>      I have my rights to my opinion and I don't have to suffer insults.
    >> Ms. Harrison signed this document.  I wonder if she has even read it,
    >> but I consider it her insult.  He is merely her lawyer.  Now his name
    >> is Furey.  I served Brian Furey in Newfoundland.  He was President of
    >> the Law Society in Newfoundland.  I served George Furey, he is Speaker
    >> of the Senate.  He is from Newfoundland.  I know where this is going,
    >> federal court.  As I told you, you are not a court.  And if you want
    >> to argue my documents, we will argue before a judge that I do not have
    >> a conflict of interest with.
    >>      Now I have a bone to pick with many judges in federal court and a lot
    >> in the Court of Queen's Bench of New Brunswick, but not all.  And not
    >> every judge or every lawyer is a crook.  Some of them are actually
    >> friends of mine.  Only problem I have with them is they think I can't
    >> pull this off.  That the system is just too powerful.  Well could be.
    >> Call me crazy if you wish, I can be as crazy as I want to be.  How do
    >> you explain my having FBI wiretap tapes of the mob and three weeks
    >> after he mentioned about me being in federal court, the outgoing
    >> Commissioner of the R.C.M.P. said beware of the mob.  Bob Paulson said
    >> that.  And I am the guy with all the tapes.  You got a huge ethical
    >> dilemma, sir.  You are an accountant.  You don't.  You do.  You are
    >> probably the next Chair.
    >>      You can do with me what you will.  I will still advise my friends
    >> about their concerns about this 2 percent rate hike and his concerns
    >> about meters we don't need.  They are ratepayers.  They have the right
    >> to their opinion and they have the right to have me for a friend and
    >> take my counsel whether you want to argue me or not.  Now he can
    >> insult me.  You haven't yet.  I was grateful on the 14th when I
    >> emailed Bob Scott.  I didn't email Ms. Harrison.  I emailed David
    >> Young, who I knew, your senior advisor.  And I emailed Bob Scott, the
    >> guy who likes to make fun of me.  Ed Barrett's spokesperson.  I did
    >> not think I could intervene in 357.  The nice lady acting as Clerk
    >> said what, would you like to intervene?  I said what, can I?  She said
    >> well the hearings haven't started yet.  It's up to the Board.  It was
    >> a surprise to me.  I wasn't looking to intervene.  And I said sure, I
    >> would love to.  I love to argue lawyers.  It was Mr. Hyslop that was
    >> my target.  That said I come, I give the nice lady my intervenor form.
    >> Mr. Furey sees no problem with me.  He has a problem with my friend,
    >> because he is a leader of a political party, but you guys have no
    >> problem allowing David Coon to be an intervenor and he is a seated
    >> MLA.  That said, it is what it is.  You guys allowed me to intervene
    >> with exactly the same information verbatim that I did this time.  It
    >> was the same document.  That said, you allowed me.  I was grateful.
    >> When I introduced myself, he more or less quoted me.  Anyway I can --
    >> you can review the transcript or I can read it into the record in this
    >> matter, but I was grateful and I said -- well let me read it, I should
    >> put it in the record then.
    >>      This is from the transcript of the 15th after you were done with my
    >> friend, Mr. Bourque.  Chairman -- this is page 7, line 21 of the
    >> transcript, June 15th.  Chairman.  Thank you.  I don't see anything
    >> similar on Mr. Amos' intervenor request.  So Mr. Amos, just to clarify
    >> you -- clarify, you are also requesting to intervene personally on
    >> behalf of an organization?  That was your question.  Page 8, line 1.
    >> I am here in my own name, speaking on my own interests in this matter.
    >> And most of the other intervenors and their lawyers know exactly who I
    >> am and why I am here.  And I emailed them -- I emailed Mr. Toner, Mr.
    >> Hyslop.  I emailed Bob Scott.  I didn't know who Mr. Furey was from a
    >> hole in the wall, right.  Well, Mr. Amos, are you a ratepayer of NB
    >> Power?  Mr. Amos:  I was born and raised in this province.  I have
    >> paid my share of power bills and taxes that support this Board and NB
    >> Power.  I have issues with NB Power and this Board.
    >>      And I was speaking mainly of John Herron, the guy I ran against in
    >> 2004, and David Young, your senior advisor.  I didn't know you.
    >> Didn't know the rest of you.
    >>      So your intervention though is in relation to the rate design
    >> application?  My interest in this matter, I stand and speak only for
    >> myself.  No Public Intervenor appointed by the Province or this Board
    >> speaks for me.  I speak for myself.  Now the lady is the Public
    >> Intervenor, she is with McInnes Cooper, same law firm as Richard
    >> Costello.  The same law firm as Len Hoyt, the guy that picked the
    >> Cabinet.  He is also the lawyer for Enbridge.  I see a little conflict
    >> of interest going there.  I see NB Power hires Stewart McKelvey to
    >> litigate over Lepreau problems and yet the same law firm is hired by
    >> J.D. Irving to muscle this Board to get Mr. Irving wants.  He brought
    >> up Mr. Hickey.  I have talked to Mr. Hickey for hours.  Mr. Hickey has
    >> some pretty serious issues.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, please hear me out.  We have listened to you
    >> now for 20 minutes or so, still haven't heard your response to how you
    >> can participate in this proceeding in a respectful manner and stick to
    >> the issues.  The issue here really is whether or not you will stick to
    >> the issues if you are granted intervenor status and whether or not you
    >> will act in a respectful manner.  I need to have your response to that
    >> issue.  Everything else you have talked about is off topic.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  You just interrupted me, sir.  Now I was respectful the
    >> whole time any matter in this.  Mr. Hyslop, you asked for submissions,
    >> I gave submissions.  You guys made the decision.  Mr. Hyslop wasn't
    >> allowed his pay cheque.  Then I thought I was done.  He and Mr.
    >> Russell invited me to a hearing at a Stewart McKelvey boardroom to
    >> talk to Mr. Todd about his report --
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, I am sorry, I am going to have to interrupt
    >> again.  You are not talking --
    >>
    >>    MR. AMOS:  You are interrupting me because you don't want me on --
    >> to put this on the record.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- you are not talking about --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I am trying to address your question.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, I am directing you to talk about this -- the
    >> issue before us --
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I am telling you my answer.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- in this matter?
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I am telling you my answer.  I was invited to a hearing,
    >> Chatham House Rule, so to speak, nothing leaves the room.  Mr. Furey
    >> and Mr. Russell -- Mr. Furey wanted me to talk to him before this
    >> meeting.  I saw NB Power on my websites downloading my documents.  I
    >> go to this hearing.  I am saying to Mr. Russell, where is Mr. Furey?
    >> He don't call.  He don't write.  I am not going to sign any disclosure
    >> document, right.  Don't allow me in the room if there is something you
    >> think I am going to spill the beans on.  I talked to Mr. Todd before
    >> he came from Toronto.  That said, they picked my brain at the hearing.
    >> I say conflict of interest, McInnes Cooper, Stewart McKelvey, et
    >> cetera, et cetera.  I want to know things having to do with 20 percent
    >> equity, where they arrived at that number, what the equity was?  Now I
    >> had many questions in confidence.  Mr. Todd -- I am asking Mr. Russell
    >> these questions -- Mr. Todd keeps interrupting me and says that's a
    >> matter for a hearing.  I said fine, I will ask the hearing -- I will
    >> ask before a hearing.  So then after that, Mr. Furey files a motion
    >> kill the hearing.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  So, Mr. Amos, one --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Kill the hearing.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- Mr. Amos --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  You are the guy who killed the hearing.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- Mr. Amos, one last time I am going to give you an
    >> opportunity to address the issue of how you can participate in a
    >> respectful and responsible manner.  If you don't want to talk about
    >> that topic, then we will take an adjournment and we will consider the
    >> request that Mr. Furey has made.
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Have I been disrespectful to this Board?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Amos, can you stick to --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  Have I been disrespectful to this Board?
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- sir -- sir, can -- sir, would you -- you have
    >> interrupted constantly and I would like you to --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  All right.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- do you --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  I will leave it in your hands.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  -- do you have anything --
    >>
    >>   MR. AMOS:  You decide.
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you.  All right.  We will take a brief recess.
    >>     (Recess)
    >>
    >>   CHAIRMAN:  All right.  I will now give the decision of the Board on
    >> this matter.
    >>      Mr. Amos seeks intervenor status in Matter 375.  NB Power objects to
    >> his intervention claiming his conduct during the hearing of a motion
    >> in Matter 357 was confrontational and that his arguments lacked any
    >> connection to the issues before the Board.  The Board agrees with that
    >> assessment.
    >>      In the present matter, Mr. Amos was given ample opportunity to put
    >> forward a case that would support a respectful and responsible
    >> intervention.  He failed to do so, rolling forward issues raised in
    >> Matter 357 and not addressing the issue before us today.
    >>      Mr. Amos states that the interests he would bring before the Board
    >> are those raised by Mr. Bourque and Mr. Richard.  The Board is
    >> satisfied that those two intervenors can adequately represent those
    >> issues.  In addition, those issues will undoubtedly be addressed by
    >> the Public Intervenor and others.
    >>      The Board finds on a balance of probability that Mr. Amos will not
    >> participate in this matter in a respectful and responsible manner.  As
    >> a result, the Board will exercise its discretion and refuse intervenor
    >> status to Mr. Amos.  Intervention is encouraged but it must be
    >> responsible.
    >>      Mr. Amos may participate in the public session which date will be
    >> announced shortly.  But again he is reminded that any presentation
    >> must be done in a respectful and responsible manner.
    >>      Finally, Mr. Amos had indicated that he wished to assist his two
    >> colleagues that are sitting with him today.  And certainly the Board
    >> has no issue with that at all.  But Mr. Amos will have no status at
    >> the hearing in terms of cross-examination or making any argument.
    >>      So that is the decision of this Panel with respect to the status of Mr.
    >> Amos.
    >>      Are there any other issues to deal with today?  There being no other
    >> issues, then we will adjourn.
    >>
    >>     (Adjourned)
    >>
    >>                         Certified to be a true
    >>                         transcript of the proceedings
    >>                         of this hearing as recorded
    >>                         by me, to the best of my ability.

        WTF is with these guys?
        Instead of, at least, pretending he is a "man" and owning what he
    posted, just tonight Roland Michaud claims he was abused, and that is
    his reason for posting what he did. Could a politician get any more
    slippery?

            I was wondering the same thing

    Liberal leader's bid for first seat is not a sure thing in Miramichi

    Michelle Conroy of PA fits populist mould Miramichi voters might like, says political scientist


    Maeve McFadden· CBC News· Posted: Sep 11, 2020 7:00 AM AT
     
     

    Since being elected in 2018, Michelle Conroy has worked with grassroots groups to tackle problems in her community. Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers returned home to Miramichi after a successful career with the RCMP. (Jacques Poitras/Maria Burgos/CBC)

    It could be a tight race in Miramichi on Monday between Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers, seeking his first seat in the New Brunswick legislature, and Michelle Conroy of the People's Alliance, who has represented the riding for two years.

    "She's personable, approachable with the kind of personality that is empathetic," Geoff Martin, who teaches political science at Mount Allison University, said of Conroy.

    Martin grew up in Miramichi and believes Conroy's hands-on approach combined with the fact that she knows the people in her community and is comfortable talking to everyone are qualities that are "highly valued" by voters.

    Political scientist Geoff Martin, who was raised in Miramichi, said Conroy's close connections and ease with people in the riding will be difficult for Vickers to compete with. (CBC)

    Conroy also fits the mould of a populist politician that goes over well with people in Miramichi, where 10,038 people are eligible to vote in the provincial election on Monday.

    Martin wonders whether voters may have a different perception of Vickers.

    'I'm all about community'

    Over the past two years, Conroy said, she has worked to help make improvements in the riding.

    She has done everything from helping to keep the community clean by picking up garbage in ditches, to organizing students to shovel sidewalks and driveways for seniors during snow storms. 

    "I'm all about community." Conroy said.

    Vickers has spent much of his adult life outside New Brunswick.

    He returned to Miramichi after a successful career that started with the RCMP. He garnered national attention when, as the sergeant-at-arms at the House of Commons, he shot a gunman that had stormed Parliament Hill. He then served  as the Canadian ambassador to Ireland. 

    Martin said that despite those accomplishments, Vickers is not entrenched in the community, which makes this race more difficult for him to win.

    "There's a sense of him being not as charismatic, perhaps a little bit aloof — not as much having the common touch."

    It's that dichotomy between Conroy and Vickers that have political pundits watching this riding closely. 

    "It certainly is an interesting race, and I think it's a race where the larger provincial issues come into play," said Martin.

    Election issues in Miramichi 

    The riding of Miramichi was created in 2013. It falls within the Miramichi city limits and includes the former communities of Newcastle and Chatham. 

    It is an area that needs an economic boost.

    "Jobs. We need jobs in the Miramichi," said Wayne Bushey, president of the Miramichi Chamber of Commerce. "And affordable housing."

    The refurbishment of Centennial Bridge is another key issue in the riding. The bridge is the primary link between northern and southern New Brunswick on the eastern side of the province. Delays and the cancellation of key contracts mean there is no longer a completion date for the project that was started in 2015.

    The community has also seen a sharp increase in the number of people struggling with drug addictions. The use of crystal methamphetamine is on the rise.

    "We have such a huge drug problem here in this riding," said NDP candidate Eileen Clancy Teslenko. 

    PC candidate, Charles Barry, also sees this as a major issue in the riding.

    "Get the poison off the streets, because it's affecting our youth. It's destroying lives. It's destroying families."


    Political scientist Geoff Martin said it's possible PC candidate Charles Barry will take some votes away from Michelle Conroy if people believe the PCs will form a majority government. (Charles Barry/FaceBook)

    Vickers and Conroy have different ideas about what will solve the problem, and their approaches offer some insight into their differing styles of politics.

    Vickers said he would put together a provincial strategy that's based on prevention, detection and -recovery.

    His is a long-term approach, similar to a national strategy he wrote during his career, to combat the sexual exploitation of children on the internet.

    Vickers said Canada is now seen as a leader by police forces around the world as a result of that national strategy.

    "So it's with that background and that knowledge that I would tackle this issue of crystal methamphetamine." 

    Conroy takes a much more hands-on approach to the rise in drug use, and said her eyes were opened to the problem when she was helping displaced residents after two apartment buildings had to be vacated.

    "I got to meet a lot of people and see the drug culture on a different level," she said.

    That experience led her to start working with Harvest House Atlantic to set up an addiction recovery and long-term rehabilitation program in Miramichi.

    Conroy said the project is well underway and details are being finalized so the recovery centre can open.

    No guarantees

    Geoff Martin says Conroy's practical, grassroots style of politics will make this a tough race for Vickers to win.

    "There's no guarantee he can win the seat," he says. "This is not a safe seat for him."

    There's no doubt that Michelle Conroy and the PC party candidate, Charles Barry, are to some degree going after the same voting pool there.
    - Geoff Martin

    Martin said what might work in Vickers's favour is vote splitting.

    "There's no doubt that Michelle Conroy and the PC party candidate, Charles Barry, are to some degree going after the same voting pool there."

    The other candidates on the ballot for Miramichi are Joshua Shaddick with the Green Party and Independent candidate Tristan Sutherland.

    Martin thinks voters who supported the People's Alliance in 2018, may vote for the PCs this time if there is a perception the party could win the election.

    When asked to predict a winner, Martin said, "I have no idea, to be honest.

    "I think it would be pure speculation. I'm reluctant to say, because I'm almost sure I'm going to be wrong."

    Conroy's sole reason for running in politics was over the language issue, no other reason. Therefore, she joined the party with a single issue, bilingualism. Sure, their sole claim to fame is changing motor vehicule registration requirement from one to two year. Big deal!

    She's done absolutely nothing for the Francophones in her riding.As a matter of fact, she shuns them. And to add insult to injury, she claims to have Acadienne origins, but has no regret not to have learned French.
