There I was listening to the radio and I heard- New changes at the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission. I said to myself- What? Really? But it wasn't good news. They still have the same faces. We need a commission in New Brunswick who's not bought and paid for by the Irvings! A Human Rights Commission who supports racism and discrimination in the workplace must be eliminated! Here's the story that the Lord Government wants us to believe. I wish that we would have a new Chairman that would be screen so we could make certain that they didn't give their lives and soul to the Evil Irving Empire!!!!

FREDERICTON (CNB) - The appointments of Gordon Porter as the chair of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission and other new members were announced today by Training and Employment Development Minister Margaret-Ann Blaney.
"As the minister responsible for the Human Rights Commission, I am very pleased to announce these appointments," Blaney said. "Gordon Porter has the background and expertise to be an effective chair, which will help further the protection and promotion of human rights in our province. I would also like to recognize outgoing chair Alanna Palmer for her hard work over the past year in this position."
Palmer replaced former chair Patrick Malcolmson in June 2004. Her term ended April 30.
Porter holds a BA and a BEd from the University of New Brunswick, as well as a MEd and CAS from the University of Maine. He also pursued doctoral studies in special education administration at Syracuse University in New York. He received a Doctor of Civil Laws degree from the University of New Brunswick in recognition of his work with persons with disabilities. He was appointed to the Human Rights Commission in 2001.
Porter's tenure as commission chair is effective May 1, 2005.
In addition to Porter's appointment, the minister was also pleased to announce other new members appointed to the commission. They included: Arthur Harquail of Edmundston; René Landry of Moncton and Emil Olsen of Quispamsis.
The other current members of the commission are Mary Jane Ward of Red Bank and Rose-Marie Curry of Tracadie-Sheila.
The minister also commended the work of outgoing members Jean-Claude Jalbert of Grand Falls, Andre LeBlanc of Moncton and Malcolm Harris of Saint John.
The New Brunswick Human Rights Commission administers the provincial Human Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination and harassment based on religion, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, mental and physical disability, race, colour, national origin, place of origin and ancestry. The act applies to all employers, public services and housing, except those that fall under federal jurisdiction.

believe you mentioned Brian Grant in your complaint to the imaginary Human Rights Office we have here in New Brunswick.
I just wanted to give you a little moral support and to let you know that even if all your "perceived bitching and whining" by others helps even 1 child suffering with ADHD then it will have all been worthwhile! You may not get your reward in this life Charley but I am sure that you will when you meet the real LORD in the afterlife. LOL.
ADHD. I know now why you enjoyed your ride across the States so much. The task? Pedal. Pedal. Pedal. You certainly were busy.
Again! Keep up the good fight!
THANK GOD FOR TALK SHOWS!!
You thought Human Rights Commission had problems. Look at the new members of the Commission. Also gone is Alanna Palmer who was little too outspoken for Lord government. Following are new members as reported in Telegraph.
Rene "Pepsi" Landry, who lost his seat as Moncton North MLA to Liberal Mike Murphy in the 2003 election,
Arthur Harquail of Edmundston, who is listed as Edmundston riding president on the provincial party website, and
Emil Olsen, a former mayor and longtime municipal politician in Quispamsis who has long been associated with the party.
Now these guys are going to protect our rights. You got to be kidding.
It goes to show you and the Government doesn't take these appointments in a serious manner. These racists members of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission are a big joke! New Brunswick is the only area in Canada where people don't have any rights whatsoever!!!! I can't wait for Tim's protest to end so I can write more about this issue!!!!
