The Crown Corp CBC obviously still supports Rob Moore of Fundy Royal
Hubby Lacriox and his minions CBC must have expected me to comment about

him

A critic without a seat: Opposition parties forced to get creative on East Coast
Ex-Fundy Royal Tory MP Rob Moore has been hired by the federal party to be a critic for Atlantic Canada
The Canadian PressPosted: Dec 28, 2016 10:30 AM AT
Former Fundy Royal-Conservative MP Rob Moore has been
appointed as the Conservative critic for Atlantic Canada. Opposition
parties have had to be creative in finding ways to represent the region
after failing to win any seats in the 2015 election. (CBC)
Based in Saint John, he often travels to Ottawa to attend meetings of the Tory caucus and shadow cabinet.
He keeps a close watch on issues affecting Atlantic Canadians, and he often meets with business people and conducts media interviews.
But Moore is no ordinary politician. In fact, he isn't even a member of Parliament, even though he's the Conservative critic for Atlantic Canada.
- 14 Conservative leadership candidates debate in Moncton
- Justin Trudeau's Liberal sweep unprecedented in New Brunswick
- Atlantic Canada Liberal sweep means strong voice in Justin Trudeau's Ottawa
Like every other Conservative and New Democrat MP in the region, he was tossed out of office on Oct. 19 when Justin Trudeau's Liberals won all 32 seats spread across the four provinces.
"The Atlantic region is hugely important to our party," said Moore.
"With the Liberals having a complete monopoly on the ridings … we don't have a lot of constructive debate going on. I think [the Liberals] just look at that big block of red and they say, 'We can take that region for granted."'
No opposition MPs in Atlantic Canada

While it's true the Conservatives and New Democrats in Atlantic Canada were humbled by voters' wholesale rejection of the parties last year, both opposition parties are already rebuilding for the next election.
The NDP, for example, has appointed Quebec MP Guy Caron to be their Atlantic watchdog — his eastern Quebec riding is adjacent to northwestern New Brunswick.
"We're staying appraised of what is going on," said Caron.
"The issues of my riding are issues of Atlantic Canada."
Caron said forestry, fisheries and employment insurance are among the common themes, and he's quick to add that he has an extra assistant in Ottawa to help him with the Atlantic file.

For example, Conservative MP Shannon Stubbs, who represents a riding in northern Alberta, has been paired with the riding of Cumberland-Colchester, which is in northern Nova Scotia.
"It's the first time we've ever done it," said interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose, noting the party borrowed the idea from provincial Conservatives in Alberta and Manitoba.
"We really want to earn back the trust of Atlantic Canadians," Ambrose said.
"We think that they need a voice in opposition, and we want to be that voice ... With four Liberal premiers and 32 Liberal MPs, we worry that the region will be taken for granted."
Voice of opposition
Based in Saint John, Moore often travels to
Ottawa to attend meetings of the Tory caucus. Moore said the region is
already being taken for granted by the Liberal government.
As proof, he cites the apparent lack of Liberal enthusiasm for the Energy East pipeline project, which would bring about 1.1 million barrels of oil per day from Alberta and Saskatchewan to the marine terminal Saint John, if it's approved.
And he's quick to highlight the backlash that ensued in August when Trudeau would not commit to replacing a retiring Supreme Court of Canada justice from Nova Scotia with someone from the Atlantic region, in effect ignoring a 140-year-old constitutional convention.
- Trudeau nominates Newfoundlander Malcolm Rowe to Supreme Court
- MPs unanimously support regional representation for Supreme Court
- Atlantic Canada lawyers challenge Trudeau on changes to Supreme Court appointment process
Amid protest from Atlantic defence lawyers and academics, Trudeau stuck with the convention in October when he appointed a Newfoundlander to the bench — a first for that province.
"These guys had no intention of appointing someone from Atlantic Canada," Ambrose said, adding that Tory MPs from across the country rallied behind the cause.
"They got up [in the Commons] and they asked question after question to put pressure on the Liberals. In the end, we won ... What it showed was that it matters to have an opposition."
Peter McKenna, a political science professor, however, said it's unlikely the Tories' objections registered with the governing Liberals.
"The Liberals have got a majority government," said McKenna, chairman of the political science department at the University of Prince Edward Island.
"They don't have to worry about what the Conservatives say right now. The push-back was internal, within the Liberal party ranks, and from the provincial premiers."
Dissent is rare
Liberal Sean Fraser, the MP for Central Nova,
broke from the party line in September over the issue of Supreme Court
justices. (CBC)
Fraser, the MP for Central Nova, told the Commons he supported the idea of having an Atlantic Canadian justice on the top court.
McKenna suggested each of the four Liberal premiers in the region also made their views known: "They ... said, 'No, that's not going to fly."'
McKenna said it's also worth noting the NDP and the Tories aren't the only ones struggling for traction on the East Coast.
With so many Liberals in the region, some backbenchers have virtually disappeared since the general election in October 2015, he said.
"The problem is that if you're not in the cabinet, it's difficult to get profile," McKenna said.
"For some of these rookie MPs, who came in on the coattails of Justin Trudeau, it's hard to carve out a name on the national stage."

It would be insulting to
those who supported the older version of the Conservative Party to use
the moniker " Tory " when describing this current version of the Western
Canada Fundamentalist Reform Party. " Tories" are " Progressive". This
current version are merely a regional right wing fringe group.
David Raymond Amos
@David Sampson True I
explained that to many people as I ran against this aptly named
"Reform" lawyer twice yet CBC will never admit that I did.

@Robin Blair - the real
Tories have always had support. At provincial levels PCs are understood
to be PCs. It's at the federal level that things went south since 2003.

@Arved Sandstrom Semper Fi EH? You must be confused as to whose side you are on sometimes.
Well trust that MacKay and I are far from done with our legal battles on both sides of the 49th. Here is just one example Federal Court File No T-1557-15.
BTW I uphold the Motto of my brothers and forefathers which is Veritas Vincit.

@David Sampson What's wrong with being right-wing? I would rather have more freedom than more government spending.
![David Raymond Amos]()
David Raymond Amos
@Alex Forbes I agree
Although I have always ran as an Independent I have also readily admitted to the media and during many debates that I think like the PCs my forefathers supported.
However that Party has gone the way of the Doo Doo Bird no thanks to lawyers such as Rob Moore and Peter MacKay and their old boss whats his name?

@David Sampson Labels mean
nothing anymore because they vary pretty much by who you are talking
to. For one thing, combining social issues with economic issues makes
it so murky as to be nonsensical.
There is virtually nobody out there who wants 'big government', they simply want government to do what it is supposed to do.
In nb we had two party's who were fine with not funding abortions. That makes the liberals even more 'right wing' than the federal conservatives, who shut down people in their own party who even wanted to bring the subject up.
In nb we have liberal and conservative parties who have no problem making panhandling illegal, despite the fact two other provinces have verified the Supreme Court's claim that it is constitutionally protected free speech, and its legal in every other province. Again, thats more right wing on the liberal party than the federal conservatives.
On economic policies you have the liberals who don't want fracking because its dangerous, but who had no problem trying to sell a publicly owned utility-and you don't get any more 'right wing' than selling public assets.
All parties in the province have little trouble with the pipeline, they are all for wiping out the forests for Irvings benefit. The language has changed so much that 'left wing' is supposed to simply mean 'being nicer to minorities'.
New Brunswick usually splits its vote, but the southern ridings mostly came within strking distance of winning their seats, and if the carbon tax can be pinned on the feds rather than the province, then we can maybe see some changes next election.

Mike Archibald
@Mario Doucet The details
of the comment are not correct, but the politics is. Politics 101 is
that you don't do favours you don't have to. Back when there were
minority governments the idea was floated for a federal 'maritime party'
to act much like the Bloc Quebecois. That way, the region suddenly
becomes more important, particularly during minority governments.
The simply fact is that unless elections are very close, no party needs the maritimes, and so Trudeau knows as well as harper that he'll probably hold onto a few ridings even if he went around saying were were drunk idiots.
There are research instititutes in southern ontario which don't even produce anything but get more federal funding than most maritime provinces. There was a little acoa money for some cancer research, but I haven't seen much funding in any important area in the maritimes.
But of course voters don't 'get what they deserve' when you only have one vote and an electoral system that typically means that vote is wasted

Ron MacCarthy
@Anne Bochan So true!
Arved Sandstrom
@Colin Seeley - let's be a
bit more precise. Private enterprise is how you generate jobs, for the
most part. I dislike the term "corporation" because although it is a
legal term it often refers to a large business corporation in the
vernacular. And large business corporations more often than not are not
doing us too many favours. A reasonable mix of businesses - very small
(say 10-15 people or less0, small, medium and large is what is needed.
The problem with governments (and this is true at all levels and in all countries) is that they fixate on the big companies. You end up with incentive wars to create sizeable job increases (or save jobs) - payroll rebates, grants, loans that are virtually gifts, tax cuts etc. This is what Trump did with Carrier. Every provincial government in NS (PC, Liberal, NDP) has pursued these policies - it is true in all other provinces too. Yet most jobs are created by considerably smaller operations.
I do agree that government is not the answer

Anne Bochan
@Steve jensen they were
penalizing people for speaking out and asking questions about their
government, for starters. It is funny, but Atlantic Canadians seem to be
touchy about democracy. They don't like it when the Federal government
sics the CRA on legitimate charitable orginazations who facilitate other
organizations who point out flaws in government policies that affects
the lives of the vulnerable. 'They notice that a lot and they don't like
it one bit. It sticks in their craw. It doesn't seem to matter as much
in the rest of Canada for some reason, but well it should.
While the Conservatives were in there was nobody employing anybody in Atlantic Canada because all the money was being sent to the oil patch hand over fist and eventually out of the country to the likes of the Koch brothers who didn't really need our tax dollars but took them anyway just for the heck of it. Something about that rankles Atlantic Canadians a tad.

@Christopher Chafe You mean Alberta? I think it has been huuuuuuge.
Rick martin
the only thing atlantic
Canada had going for it was resources now with coal mining banned and
some offshore areas protected that limits our oil exploration all we
have left is fishing and lumber industry till the government cuts down
the quotas then we will have next to nothing
Mike Archibald
@Rick martin You might want
to take a look at employment figures. Resource jobs have been
decreasing for fifty years. Coal isn't banned, its just not economical.
There are countries which have no resources but have more wealth than
the maritimes. The hope with immigrants is that because we have failed so badly in
training people with actual skills, the feds hope to get those trained
in other countries. They learned that within Canada, not enough people
in alberta, just wait for maritimers to show up. They are just
expanding that to the international stage and need to look further
afield after that fiasco a few years ago when mexicans went back home
and told everybody what lousy working conditions existed in Canada
David Raymond Amos
@Mike Archibald Explain coal in Minto then

Ed Jackson
The single best way for the
NDP and the Cons to get traction in the Maritimes is to let Trudeau's
plan run it's course. Extra taxes, more regulation on industry, health
cuts, loss of international competitiveness and watching billions of tax
dollars flow to every warm and fuzzy global initiative possible while
bypassing Canadian regions in need.... this will make the opposition
look like a much better option.
Arved Sandstrom
@Ed Jackson - those are nice
thoughts, Ed, but JT cannot really make things worse in the Atlantic
provinces than they are now. The structural problems here are not ones
that can be solved by governments, and JT has no better chance than
Harper or Martin or Chretien or Mulroney. Few of the Atlantic Canadian
premiers have ever done well either.
The state of the Atlantic Canadian economy has nothing to do with the willingness of locals to work or produce or contribute. We are not welfare types, never have been. Except we are in something of a glacial-speed economic collapse: only 5% of the workforce can fish or log or farm or mine, we can hardly be better than anyone else at IT, tourism only takes you so far, and name something we can manufacture that can't be manufactured cheaper somewhere else.
At this stage of the game nobody in Atlantic Canada would believe the Cons. Just the same way we don't believe the Liberals or NDP.

@Arved Sandstrom That's true
of any government. Its well known that in Canada people don't vote 'for'
candidates but rather 'against' them. Last election saw an upswing of
young voters and ndp'ers who may have switched, and I suspect its true
that they won't bother showing up at the next election, unless the
conservatives get a Trump of their own, and once again voters will show
to vote against a candidate.

@Chris Hansen - "low
information"? Are you seriously suggesting that card-carrying
Conservatives and PCs actually are better informed than card carrying
Liberals? I say "card-carrying" to remind you of the fact that about 1%
of Canadians actually care about parties to the extent that they know
anything about a local riding organization, maybe 25% of Canadians have
some biases (strong or mild) towards one party or another, and the rest
don't care. Hmmm, come to think of it, about half of all potential
voters don't.
I suggest to you, my friend, that well over 90 percent of all potential voters who may lean Conservative couldn't care less about news period. They are rather more interested in sports and entertainment on TV. To the extent that that includes US right-wing talk show hosts, yes, there is some pseudo-information.
"People's state media"? LOL. You're kidding, right? Under every government since the CBC was created the CBC has clearly dissed all administrations, and reported on all administrations. You clearly haven't followed it - I have since the 1960's. Dream on, dude.

@Chris Hansen 'bias' is
not 'an agenda'. But there have been no lack of articles on things the
pm has been doing which commenting was allowed. Commenting itself is a
weird wild thing with CBC, when even the national post and globe and
mail can do it better than cbc, then that doesn't say much about an
organization supposedly the 'national' broadcaster which supposedly
wants to hear from the population. Anybody that doesn't think cbc has a
bias, should go listen to "the Current' from about a month ago when the
flagship show interviewed Trudeau, and it was such an embarassing
softball extravaganza that dozens of usually low key supporters came out
of the woodwork to criticize the show.
But the insults are really unwarranted, if you want to criticize cbc, go to it, but dragging in a whole section of the electorate really doesn't make your comment stand out.

@Hugh MacDonald - in Atlantic
Canada the NDP have had credibility at the provincial level. Few would
vote NDP in a federal election because there would be no percentage in
doing that. Provincially and at a federal level the Atlantic provinces
flip flop Cons/PCs and Liberals - we are the ultimate swing voters.
Since we figure little in national politics or at federal level

Bottom line is, majority governments are bad,
particularly in the manner in which they are attained with so little of
the population––39%––actually voting for them. There are no concessions
or consensus, and no negotiating as the Atlantic provinces did not
demand a better health deal. No opposition essentially means
non-inclusive, and is opposite to what Trudeau declares as he strives
for a more "inclusive" and "engaged" Canada.

"The Atlantic region is hugely important to our party," said Moore.
Apparently the Conservative and NDP parties are not hugely important to the Atlantic Region voters since the Liberals won all 32 seats in the last election.

- in Atlantic
Canada the NDP have had credibility at the provincial level. Few would
vote NDP in a federal election because there would be no percentage in
doing that. Provincially and at a federal level the Atlantic provinces
flip flop Cons/PCs and Liberals - we are the ultimate swing voters.
Since we figure little in national politics or at federal level
governmental decisions, our party allegiances are slight.

![Irving Oil and the New Brunswick government squabbled in the 1970s over whether the company should get a property tax exemption for its storage tanks on the outskirts of Saint John. The exemption was finally adopted in 1980 and has stayed put ever since.]()
New Brunswick Liberals could barely believe it.
After fighting throughout the 1970s with Irving Oil to force it to pay property taxes on its Canaport oil tank farm, Richard Hatfield's Progressive Conservative government was changing course.
In the summer of 1980, the government reversed its position and introduced legislation that proposed to grant the company the property tax exemption it wanted.
"They have been scrapping for some years now about their storage tanks and pipelines." then opposition Liberal MLA Doug Young observed in the legislature.
"Can the minister indicate if this is meant to relieve the taxation burden of the Irving interests?"
![Irving Oil refinery]()
In fact, there was a sense that Irving Oil was in trouble that year, and it was serious enough to make Hatfield relent.
Special property tax breaks in New Brunswick have been set up to address many problems over the decades.
But when those problems changed — even disappeared — sometimes the tax breaks didn't.
That's true of the 1980 deal to lift property taxes on the crude oil tank farm, which has become one of the longest-running property tax deals in New Brunswick.
Irving Oil pushed hard to get a tax break at the tank farm for nearly a decade but the province held firm the company should pay full taxes — even taking Irving to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1975 over the issue and winning.
Irving had invested heavily in its refinery in the 1970s, twice undertaking expansions. The company also built the Canaport oil tank farm, all designed to serve U.S. markets.
![richard hatfield]()
Hatfield responded with the tax concession his government had long opposed.
"After the refinery was built the situation changed drastically with regard to the export of refined product to the United States," Hatfield told the legislature to explain his about-face.
"The government decided that … in view of the changing circumstances with regard to the export of refined product to the United States … that an amendment should be made to the Assessment Act.
"A number of things were taken into consideration. One was the importance of the refinery to the province of New Brunswick."
![saint john shipping]()
But the troubles of 1980 proved to be temporary. U.S. petroleum
markets rebounded strongly by the mid-1980s, and Irving Oil soon
prospered.
The tax exemption on the oil tank farm, however, lived on.
Finance Minister Cathy Rogers acknowledges that may be a problem.
![Media placeholder]()
"We do have to look at what is relevant for today's purposes," Rogers said in an interview.
"Sometimes you make a tax exemption or a tax rebate or a tax credit for a particular purpose in time, and it's important to [ask], 'Is it still serving the same purpose?'"
The province won't say what the tank concession is worth today, only that it is "substantially more" than it was in 1980.
"This information is considered confidential and should be obtained directly from the property owner," said Service New Brunswick spokeswoman Nichole Bowman.
Irving Oil did not respond to a request to participate in this story.
![Cathy Rogers]()
Rogers said that as a general rule she doesn't believe tax breaks
should continue indefinitely in the face of changing circumstances.
"It's like policy," she said.
"It's living and we have to keep making sure that it's relevant."
But government has been slow to move on old tax deals.
Several New Brunswick governments have come and gone since 1980 and none have made any changes to the tank farm tax exemption.
Last week the legislature gave third reading to a bill allowing Saint John to repeal its tax concession at the LNG site, after the city discovered Irving Oil had been collecting $12.25 million US in rent on the tax-reduced land for years.
![canaport lng]()
But a lesser known and nearly as generous New Brunswick LNG concession on the same property has been left untouched.
The province granted the port of Saint John a tax exemption in 1997 to help it transition from a federally controlled to a locally controlled body.
But that exemption included non-port property owned by Irving Oil, some of which eventually became home to the LNG terminal.
That made what would have been $6.5 million in provincial property tax on the terminal uncollectable.
Rogers said her department is looking at every tax deal at once and wants to wait before taking action on any.
"We have to look at the whole, not just fragmented pieces. If you make one change it may have an unintended consequence on another," she said.
But not making changes has had unintended consequences too, in one case creating a tax break that has managed to live decades longer than the problem it was meant to help solve.

Irving Oil's tank farm and the tax break that keeps on giving
Some tax exemptions can live long after the problem they were designed to help goes away
By Robert Jones, CBC NewsPosted: Dec 12, 2016 6:03 AM AT
Irving Oil and the New Brunswick government squabbled in
the 1970s over whether the company should get a property tax exemption
for its storage tanks on the outskirts of Saint John. The exemption was
finally adopted in 1980 and has stayed put ever since. (CBC)
New Brunswick Liberals could barely believe it.
After fighting throughout the 1970s with Irving Oil to force it to pay property taxes on its Canaport oil tank farm, Richard Hatfield's Progressive Conservative government was changing course.
In the summer of 1980, the government reversed its position and introduced legislation that proposed to grant the company the property tax exemption it wanted.
"They have been scrapping for some years now about their storage tanks and pipelines." then opposition Liberal MLA Doug Young observed in the legislature.
"Can the minister indicate if this is meant to relieve the taxation burden of the Irving interests?"
Irving became vulnerable
A tax exemption for Irving Oil's tank farm
took shape in 1980. The company had completed a Saint John refinery
expansion just as a worldwide oil crisis began to unfold, so the New
Brunswick government stepped in to help. (CBC)
Special property tax breaks in New Brunswick have been set up to address many problems over the decades.
But when those problems changed — even disappeared — sometimes the tax breaks didn't.
That's true of the 1980 deal to lift property taxes on the crude oil tank farm, which has become one of the longest-running property tax deals in New Brunswick.
Crisis soon ended
The troubles faced by Irving Oil were serious but also short-lived. Still, decades later the tax deal is still in place.'A number of things were taken into consideration. One was the importance of the refinery to the province of New Brunswick.'- Richard Hatfield, former premierThe history of the deal is well documented in old court decisions and New Brunswick legislature transcripts.
Irving Oil pushed hard to get a tax break at the tank farm for nearly a decade but the province held firm the company should pay full taxes — even taking Irving to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1975 over the issue and winning.
Irving had invested heavily in its refinery in the 1970s, twice undertaking expansions. The company also built the Canaport oil tank farm, all designed to serve U.S. markets.
Consumption down
But a worldwide oil crisis in 1979 put Irving Oil in a difficult spot. Soaring crude prices drove petroleum consumption in North America down heavily and Irving Oil appeared genuinely vulnerable.
For years, former premier Richard Hatfield
opposed concessions for Irving Oil's tank farm but changed his mind when
the company appeared to be in trouble. (CBC)
"After the refinery was built the situation changed drastically with regard to the export of refined product to the United States," Hatfield told the legislature to explain his about-face.
"The government decided that … in view of the changing circumstances with regard to the export of refined product to the United States … that an amendment should be made to the Assessment Act.
"A number of things were taken into consideration. One was the importance of the refinery to the province of New Brunswick."
Troubles didn't last
Believing Irving Oil needed help, the government gave it a break on taxes valued at up to $500,000 per year.
The provincial government at the time said it
was thinking of the importance of U.S. markets, among other things,
when it established a tax exemption. (CBC)
The tax exemption on the oil tank farm, however, lived on.
Finance Minister Cathy Rogers acknowledges that may be a problem.
Considering side-effects
Property tax concessions: What you need to know2:30
"Sometimes you make a tax exemption or a tax rebate or a tax credit for a particular purpose in time, and it's important to [ask], 'Is it still serving the same purpose?'"
The province won't say what the tank concession is worth today, only that it is "substantially more" than it was in 1980.
"This information is considered confidential and should be obtained directly from the property owner," said Service New Brunswick spokeswoman Nichole Bowman.
Irving Oil did not respond to a request to participate in this story.
Prefers evolving tax policy
Finance Minister Cathy Rogers says the
durability of a tax exemption granted because of a long-ago oil crisis
may be a problem and will be part of a review of all tax deals the
province has with various sectors. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
"It's like policy," she said.
"It's living and we have to keep making sure that it's relevant."
But government has been slow to move on old tax deals.
Several New Brunswick governments have come and gone since 1980 and none have made any changes to the tank farm tax exemption.
Not part of cost-cutting exercise
And Rogers acknowledged that the Gallant government itself did not look seriously at the tax break during last year's comprehensive "strategic program review."'If you make one change it may have an unintended consequence on another.'- Cathy Rogers, finance ministerThis year the province also steered well clear of a second Irving Oil tax break embroiled in controversy — a little known provincial connection to the Canaport LNG properties
Last week the legislature gave third reading to a bill allowing Saint John to repeal its tax concession at the LNG site, after the city discovered Irving Oil had been collecting $12.25 million US in rent on the tax-reduced land for years.
Still a favoured place
The province agreed to let the City of Saint
John repeal a tax concession at the Canaport LNG site, but a provincial
concession on the same property remains. (CBC)
The province granted the port of Saint John a tax exemption in 1997 to help it transition from a federally controlled to a locally controlled body.
But that exemption included non-port property owned by Irving Oil, some of which eventually became home to the LNG terminal.
That made what would have been $6.5 million in provincial property tax on the terminal uncollectable.
Provincial break lives on
Although helping Saint John repeal its tax concession, the province has not done the same.Rogers said her department is looking at every tax deal at once and wants to wait before taking action on any.
"We have to look at the whole, not just fragmented pieces. If you make one change it may have an unintended consequence on another," she said.
But not making changes has had unintended consequences too, in one case creating a tax break that has managed to live decades longer than the problem it was meant to help solve.

When the oil crisis of the
late 70's and early 80's ended, the tax breaks should have also ceased.
The tax breaks for the Irving Corporation has gone on way too long.
The government and the citizens of New Brunswick should demand an end to the special tax deals for this multi-million dollar empire.
The politicians do not have the courage to stand up to big business, so it is up to the citizens to put an end to the generosity.
