Grand Manan residents frustrated as military helicopter summoned again for hospital transport
Ambulance N.B. unable to provide air ambulance service because of weather
A Cormorant helicopter from CFB Greenwood in Nova Scotia was dispatched to the island late Friday afternoon to transport a patient to the Saint John Regional Hospital, according to Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Halifax.
The request for assistance came from Ambulance N.B., which runs an air ambulance service, but was unable to respond because of weather conditions.
"Both ANB's Air Ambulance and Nova Scotia's EHS LifeFlight were available but unable to fly to Grand Manan and/or Saint John due to weather limitations which prohibited the use of either plane," Christianna Williston, an Ambulance N.B. spokesperson, said in an email.
This marks at least the second time a military helicopter has been called in to transport a patient since Atlantic Charters, the Grand Manan-based company that usually provides air ambulance services on the island, was forced to ground the service last year due to contract issues.
Transport Canada rule changes require Atlantic Charters to increase their pilot fleet to continue providing the service.
Ambulance N.B. and Atlantic Charters have been negotiating a new contract to save the service, while the province has sought an exemption from Transport Canada.
Williston said "discussions related to air ambulance needs in Grand Manan are ongoing."
CBC News has reached out to Atlantic Charters and the province, but has not received a response.
'Frustrating'
Bill Burns got a close-up view of the helicopter when it landed on the road next to his house in Pettes Cove.
Burns said he didn't have any information on the emergency requiring medical evacuation, or why the helicopter had to land on the road instead of the nearby airport.
But he said there's growing concern on the island about the lack of an on-island medevac service.
The ferry to the mainland takes a couple of hours, and that's if it's running when an emergency happens.

Meanwhile, any effort to get off the island in an emergency now means an aircraft has to fly to the island first, which takes more time than just having a plane ready to go.
"It's frustrating for people here in the community when we got our own air ambulance service here sitting on the ground that's more than willing to do it," said Burns.
Burns said the issues with medevac are even harder to take considering what else the island has lost recently.
"They lost their bank, they lost … a lot of stuff here the last little while," said Burns.
"It's like every time we turn around we're losing something."

Methinks anyone on Grand Manan who is reading this should ask their Mayor, the former Attorney General Andrea Anderson Mason and their pal John Williamson how I tried to help the Island Folks with their concerns over fish, booze, lock downs, banks and the air ambulance. Nobody cared so why should I N'esy Pas?

The provincial government giving away any control over healthcare to the federal government in exchange for money would be like having the CEO of a multibillion dollar corporation taking control of your store’s scheduling from the store manager. This isn’t good for NB, it’s a sell out and one that we were never consulted on and quite frankly that we don’t even know all the details and fine print about. Is the premier going to educate us about what this means before he signs away control and autonomy over healthcare to Ottawa?
Are people who don’t like Higgs/likeTrudeau going to be happy with this change if it becomes Holt/Poilievre? It’s so very disappointing to see the way people have turned on their loyalty to our province just because they don’t like the current premier. It’s very short sighted!

Furthermore, local autonomy that has been eroded and given away over the decades remains given away long after whatever premier somebody liked it didn’t like has gone away. It is always better to have local control over things. The more local, the bigger voice and say you have. When healthcare is 100% provincial despite some federal funding, you have 1 in 800,000 say over it. When it’s federal (which is what’s being attempted here) you have a 1 in
38 000 000 say over it. Do you really think somebody who votes in Vancouver is going to care about issues in Bathurst, or Fredericton, or Grand Manan as much as people in Campbellton, or St Stephen, or Saint John will? We are absolutely insane to allow one inch of federal encroachment onto healthcare. It should be being further decentralized if anything.

Issue is that grand Manan needs the federal government to provide an exemption to Atlantic charters to once again provide air ambulance service on the island. To give them credit the provincial government
is trying to get that exemption, but out of touch Ottawa is just not concerned about places like Grand Manan. Is this really who we want our province to give greater control over healthcare to? To

They are spending the money in the hopes of making more money for NB. Do you think any of the corporations are spending money just to spend money? The whole point of buying ads is to get a bigger return on your money that what you’ve spent.

Reply toMario KartThe government is not in business no matter how many times Higgy call us his "Clients"
FYI when I was in business I never advertised because in the Maritimes word of mouth is everything. I spent lots of money fixing things that the folks were not entitled under warranty and made sure they knew it. It worked like a charm.
One time my supplier ordered advertising with the Irving newsrag on my behalf because I had a huge amount of unused credit on their books and it would not cost me much to pay my share. I strongly disagreed. The Irvings sent bill collectors then lawyers after me when I refused to pay them. When I replied to the court that we had no contract either expressed or implied the Irving lawyers went away.
Need I say that I am honoured that Higgy did not buy his motorcycles from me?

If weather limitations prohibited both Ambulance NB and EHS LifeFlight from making the trip to Grand Manan and then to Saint John, would an Atlantic Charters plane have been able to make the trip to Saint John? Or were the weather conditions sufficiently rough to ground any civilian plane?

Higgs is caving in to Trudeau’s demands for national digital IDs. It’s shameful.

Good, but Higgs is hinting that he might agree to the deal with Trudeau and part of that is sharing our health data with Ottawa. No amount of money is worth that because even PP is saying if he becomes PM, he won’t reverse that need to share health data with the federal government in exchange for funding. It’s a major overstep on provincial autonomy and authority and one that the people of this
province were never consulted on. It appears to be irreversible, even under near term federal governments that are not the current one.

Lobster company fills in inter-tidal zone off Grand Manan property
Aqua Best expansion plans on hold while province and federal governments review the case
Aqua Best buys lobsters from Grand Manan fishermen and operates a tank-house, a land-based lobster storage facility, on the island.
Documents shared with CBC show the company also leases inter-tidal land for a lobster holding pound, essentially a pen on the sea floor in the zone between the low and high tide area, in Woodward's Cove.
Photos show the pound area was extensively filled in starting in the fall of 2018 with heavy rock to create a pad for the expansion.
A couple of photos found on Facebook show New Brunswick Southwest MP, John Williamson standing on the filled in area in July of 2019.
Williamson tagged the photos: "Looking at Aqua Best's expansion plans on Grand Manan."
Williamson could not be reached Tuesday for comment.
Frank Longstaff owns an adjacent property in the cove.
He said the company is preparing to build on provincial government land it leases under very specific conditions.
Frank Longstaff owns a property on Woodwards Cove adjacent to where Aqua Best has been infilling the inter-tidal zone. (Connell Smith, CBC)
"The lobster pound is governed by a lease the company took out with the province," said Longstaff. "And one of the terms of the lease is that it is to be used as a lobster pound solely. And so to fill it in is a breach of that term, certainly to build something on it is a breach of that term."
Longstaff said he's not sure how the company can even be issued a building permit for the site because it doesn't have title to the land.
Reached by CBC, Jimmy Lam, Aqua Best's manager of Canadian Operations said he had no comment and is waiting for word from the federal and provincial governments before determining if the work can proceed.
Grand Manan Mayor Dennis Greene said the issue does not directly involve the village and is before the two other levels of government.
"There's quite a few jobs that's involved there and they have great plans for the future and we'd like to see it proceed," said Greene. "But, again, it's a provincial and federal matter."
Longstaff said he understands the importance of the lobster industry to the island's economy.
But he's concerned that if the company is allowed to go ahead with expansion of the tank house after constructing the pad on land it doesn't own it would set a dangerous precedent for other coastal areas in the province.
He says neighbours were not notified about plans for construction on the site and there have been no public notices about destruction of fish habitat in the inter-tidal zone.
in a brief statement a spokesperson for New Brunswick's Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries confirmed a stop work order was issued after the infill was discovered in the Aqua Best case. The statement said the department is working with "federal counterparts" on the file.
A spokesperson said the Department of Fisheries and Oceans could not immediately comment on the case Tuesday
Andrea Anderson Mason, elected MLA for Fundy the Isles in 2018, could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Are you folks aware that the articles published by the Kings County Record when I ran in the election of the 38th Parliament are recorded in the Library of Parliament, some court dockets and several blogs as well?

I have no doubt whatsoever the editing was done so that folks who did not attend the debate would have no idea what was said. Some folks woe were there that night have agreed that the things that were said about issues pertaining to Veterans, Climate Change and Pro Life was too much for the lawyer Rob Moore and the liberal incumbent to deal with so they said nothing at all. Their silence was a telling thing indeed N'esy Pas? Johnathon Locke There have been many stories of false threats made for political reasons over the last year. David Raymond Amos Reply to @Johnathon Locke: Methinks Mr Prime Minister Trudeau the Younger and his many cohorts in all political parties are well are of my false imprisonments in Canada and the USA over false allegations. That was one of the many reasons I sued the Queen in 2015 while running in Fundy Royal again N'esy Pas?

David Raymond Amos Reply to @Paddie Ferraro: Methinks it obviously it includes a bulletproof vest for no reason he or the RCMP wish to explain Perhaps the former Clerk of the PCO gave Mr Butts the not so bright idea N'esy Pas? It is a small wonder that the BLOC and the NDP are gaining steam. In a nutshell its blatantly obvious that many Canadians are sick and tired of the usual political bullshit. More importantly many are reacting like the Yankees did when they elected the wacko named Trump. If there ever was a time for Fundy Royal to elect someone other than a Conservative or a Liberal the time is NOW. I used to suggest that folks vote for the NDP but now I suggest that they vote for me. https://www.cbc.ca/news/ Scheer, Singh make confident pitch to voters, Trudeau targets both as polls move to favour Conservatives Trudeau targets NDP, says 'only way to stop Conservative cuts' is to vote Liberal Elise von Scheel · CBC News · Posted: Oct 12, 2019 2:55 PM ET 2244 Comments Richard Ade Just voted for my local conservative candidate yesterday at an advanced poll.

There will be a debate in Hampton on October 17th for the seat in Fundy Royal. Folks can't deny that this is the 3rd I have run against the lawyer Rob Moore. The last time was the Minister who oversaw ACOA and then became the "Shadow Cabinet Minister" for the Conservatives after the folks booted them all out their seats in the last election Methinks many would agree that the liberals did not win the last election. The fact is that the majority of Canadians wanted to make certain that the Conservatives and the NDP lost and while Trudeau conned a lot of folks with his promises of electoral reform. Now its the liberals turn to learn lesson about the Maritimers Harper called defeatists Many of us still don't smoke dope be it legal or not N'esy Pas?

David Raymond Amos Reply to @Neo Caleb Anderson: Thanks to Mr Prime Minister Trudeau The Younger Donald Sutherland and I can finally vote too. Methinks many folks know I am doing my part as an Independent in Fundy Royal running against all the political parties for blatantly obvious reasons for the 7th time I used to suggest that folks vote for the NDP but now I say vote for me N'esy Pas? Now back to efforts to expose the rampant public corruption within the cyber world called Social Media In the real world the awful truth I must confess that even if I could succeed in convincing every person I debated in front of in this election to vote for me and I would stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected in light of the fact that the corporate media won't even mention the fact that I exist.

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, Cpl.

I met him last June after he became an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our federal election that was held June 28. He was a candidate in our constituency of Fundy (now called Fundy-Royal). I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on the candidates' debate held June 18. As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election.The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358. I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo that ran, but this one is very similar. Gisele McKnight editor Kings County Record Sussex, New Brunswick Canada 506-433-1070 A1-debate A1-amos,David for MP 24.doc debate 2.JPG 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 each others’ 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 need a 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.’" Thats some interesting history about Fundy Royal you don't see everyday EH?
