Why do most NBers keep kidding themselves, new face, same loyalties to Irving. Red and Blue both get hefty donations from the Irving’s every election..wonder why?
While we keep election these career politicians in, our province will never change. Please take off your blinders and let’s stop letting the Irving run the show..
Furthermore, the french, English and First Nations bickering is playing right into their hands..keep up the good work.. :/

Reply to @David R. Amos: Mr. Kirk has not tried to make a point; not at all. He was merely asking a question. Many people who have yet to be elected to office; some have tried and failed, nest-ce pas? The bottom line is that they remain unelected. As for the window dressing, window dressing is a lot like fluffy commentary - it doesn't really serve a purpose rather than ego self-inflation ....

I wonder if it would be reasonable and acceptable to ponder aloud the question as to whether everyone commenting on this article has actually read it.

Just a different head on the bobble head doll. Nothing will change. Party principles and agenda remain the same. If elected, we will have another 4 years of dictatorship like we had with the Gallant Liberals where we went from one crisis to another. We have just come out of a government that has costs NBers millions more for Extramural by signing off with Medavie, a government that saw nothing wrong with Medavie allowing ambulances to sit unmanned while people drove their sick family member to the hospital ER. We can not afford another irresponsible and wreckless Liberal government again in this province, one that signs contracts that enslave taxpayers for decades to come.

Deniers misperceived the variability to be an hiatus in warming rather recently.

"Hope" is a dangerous thing. Putting a blind trust on somebody with no knowledge of what their true intentions are can be devastating. We've seen this with previous governments. Hope is not what we should be using to base our decisions upon. We have to rely on past actions these candidates have done in the past on a political standpoint if we want to make a smart decision.

Reply to @Claude DeRoche: Winston Churchill was often frustrated at what he perceived as de Gaulle's patriotic arrogance. Churchill tried to explain:
"He felt it was essential to his position before the French people that he should maintain a proud and haughty demeanour towards "perfidious Albion", although in exile, dependent upon our protection and dwelling in our midst. He had to be rude to the British to prove to French eyes that he was not a British puppet. He certainly carried out this policy with perseverance."

They have toed the line as the pc party expected them to do. their leader sold himself out. when all parties agreed to the new raise and expense increase they showed they were in it for themselves and nobdoy else.

Reply to @Cleve Gallant: If you wish to not believe something, Cleve, fill your boots. That is your right in a democracy, don't you think? I am not preaching liberalism. As a matter of fact, if you read what we've talked about today, you will agree that I've been trying to promote a civilized and balanced discussion. That''s not liberalism, is it?

Reply to @Cleve Gallant: If you and I and anyone else so inclined truly want to see everyone get along and respect one another, then we should all try to use language and promote our ideas in a more constructive way, without resorting to name calling and shameless innuendo. I think you would agree, Cleve?

Reply to @Josef Blow: Again blame the politicians and the few radicals we have here in this province plain and simple,

Reply to @Cleve Gallant: If you or I want to challenge someone or some party of doing or not doing something, then we should go ahead and do just that. But if we want to have a fair and sustained discussion on something, then we have a responsibility to ask, rather than assume and to establish points based on fact rather than to invoke anger and mere opinions.

But if anyone challenges an idea, then he or she has a responsibility to explain his or her position. That's only fair, I think.

Josef Blow
Reply to @Mark (Junkman) George: Rainbows and unicorns abound, Mark. Of course people are getting tired of things being promised - and then changed to the point of no longer being recognizable. There are often no rainbows and unicorns to be seen anywhere after policies and promises are deformed. But by attacking each other and not sharing positive progressive ideas about how to make things better, we ensure that all suffer. No one party has any more chance of observing its "promises" if the main goal and focus are to set re-election as a priority and if the powers that be refuse to stand up for what is they say they'd do.

Reply to @Matt Steele: This comment is polarizing and of little help in promoting a balanced discourse. Of course it is an opinion. But that is all it is … it is only an opinion. All of this talk about Liberals being SANB lapdogs and Progressive Conservative being Irving lapdogs is a little tiring really. All it serves to achieve is making the writers somehow feel that they have something important to say, whereas, in fact, it demonstrates amply what little some writers have to contribute at all.

Just a different head on the bobble head doll. Nothing will change. Party principles and agenda remain the same. If elected, we will have another 4 years of dictatorship like we had with the Gallant Liberals where we went from one crisis to another. We have just come out of a government that has costs NBers millions more for Extramural by signing off with Medavie, a government that saw nothing wrong with Medavie allowing ambulances to sit unmanned while people drove their sick family member to the hospital ER. We can not afford another irresponsible and wreckless Liberal government again in this province, one that signs contracts that enslave taxpayers for decades to come.

Kevin Vickers announces vision for Liberals at Miramichi rally
Former ambassador says he wants to bring people together and promises to 'work tirelessly'
Kevin Vickers announced his vision for the province Saturday, which includes growing the economy, fiscal responsibility, revamping education, improving health care and protecting the environment.
The leader of the provincial Liberals led a party rally on Saturday afternoon in Miramichi.
At the rally, Vickers recognized that climate change is one of the greatest dangers and threats, but he said there's no need for New Brunswick to be paying more carbon tax than Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
Still, he said the province must find a way to reduce carbon emissions.
"We need to think, act and live green."

"The sad situation with our nursing home workers could have been avoided if their concerns had been taken seriously much earlier in a spirit of collaboration and goodwill," said Vickers, regarding the ongoing tension between nursing home workers and the province.
Vickers said he's ready for the responsibilities that come with being party leader and promised to "work tirelessly" for the people in the province.
When Vickers said he would lead the Liberal Party to victory in the next election, he was met with applause and supporters chanted his first name.
Vickers said many people have asked him why he wanted to become leader of the Liberal Party.
"My Acadian friends were worried as to what's happening in New Brunswick and ... they wanted me to run for the Liberal Party," he said.
"I thought how great this party can be French, English, promoting the co-operative movement, working co-operatively, valuing one another, respecting one another.... There was no question in my mind that I was leaving Ireland and coming home."
Vickers, 62, is a former sergeant-at-arms in the House of Commons and Canada's former ambassador to Ireland.
He became the Liberal Party leader on April 24, replacing former leader Brian Gallant, who resigned when his government lost its majority in the legislature in the the provincial election.
Vickers became the only candidate for leadership after Moncton's René Ephestion dropped out of the race.

Kevin Vickers won the leadership uncontested after Moncton's René Ephestion dropped out of the race. (Hadeel Ibrahim/CBC)Ephestion, the executive director of Moncton's Nazareth House, attended the rally because he wanted to learn about Vicker's vision.
"For me it's really important to have a leader who understands that New Brunswickers, the population, is more important than their seats, than their money and their political career," Ephestion said.
Ephestion said he hopes Vickers meets his high expectations.
