BONNE FETE LE CANADA!!!!

Bonne fête Canada

En cette période de l’année , différentes fêtes nous interpellent presque toutes les semaines, surtout en tant que parlant français. On a eu la fête du Québec la semaine dernière. Cette semaine c’est celle du Canada. Dans deux semaines, le 14 juillet, on aura celle de la France.

blogglers







Ensuite , il y aura le 28 juillet pour commémorer la Déportation, le premier lundi du mois d’août pour la fête du Nouveau-Brunswick, pour enfin en arriver à l’apothéose de la fête de l’Acadie du 15 août. C’est tonifiant, mais essoufflant!

Mes propos d’aujourd’hui visent principalement à souligner la fête du Canada de vendredi prochain le 1er juillet. Nous sommes plusieurs à penser que la meilleure façon pour nous d’être canadiens à part entière, c’est d’être avant tout acadiens. En nous assumant comme tels, en tant que premier peuple européen installé en permanence en Amérique, et compte tenu de tous les aléas de l’histoire qui ont caractérisé et façonné l’âme de notre peuple par la suite, nous apportons à l’identité canadienne une couleur particulière.

Quand nous étions plus jeunes et baveux dans les années 70 , nous étions plusieurs à boycotter par exemple l’hymne national canadien en restant assis pendant qu’on l’entonnait. Ça se faisait puisque nous étions à cette époque–là dans une démarche identitaire intense. On n’était pas toujours à l’aise d’être canadiens en tant qu’acadiens. Ça s’est nettement amélioré. Certains diront même que sans le fédéral , point de salut, et c’est en grande partie vrai. Mais , il y a encore des combats à mener.

Mais il y a eu un prix à payer pour cela. On a utilisé les acadiens comme de la chair à canon constitutionnelle entre les fédéralistes et indépendantistes québécois. On nous a utilisé à toutes les sauces pour à la fois amadouer l’anglophonie canadienne et mâter les poussées d’hormone autonomiste québécoise. Le summum de ce marchandage infect a été le rassemblement massif de Montréal lors du référendum de 1995, qui a eu plus l’allure d’un “flirt” d’un soir , que d’un engagement amoureux à long terme. En prime, on se retrouve dix (10) ans plus tard avec le scandale des commandites comme fond de scène, méconnu à l’époque et d’autant plus révoltant que maintenant on sait. Il faut créer et définir sur de nouvelles bases les rapports entre les francophonies canadiennes , entre les francophones et les anglophones et entre toutes les communautés multiculturelles de ce pays. Il faut de plus polir et bonifier notre image du Canada à l’étranger.

Nous devons nous ressaisir comme pays. Pour commencer, nous devons essayer d’avoir plus de transparence dans les démarches politiques à venir. Il faudrait peut-être aussi passer plus de temps à imaginer et concevoir des plans d’inclusion plutôt que d’exclusion. Reconnaissons que le Québec est souvent à l’avant-garde du Canada sur le plan social, avec les garderies par exemple , sur le plan linguistique, dans sa façon de traiter sa minorité , ou encore sur les plans coopératifs , ouvriers et autres. On devrait donc continuer d’essayer de faire des arrangements sur des programmes nationaux sans tenter d’imposer ces critères nationaux au Québec, surtout quand tout le monde reconnaît pleinement que le Québec est bien au delà de ces critères.

Par ailleurs, le Québec devrait arrêter de s’exciter à chaque fois qu’à Ottawa , on essaye d’implanter des lois pouvant renforcer l’épanouissement des acadiens et francophones à l’extérieur du Québec. Ça impliquerait donc que de part et d’autres , on arrête de jouer à se tasser dans les coins.. Ça impliquerait aussi que, quand les acadiens et les francophones du Canada empruntent la voie juridique , surtout à la Cour suprême, le Québec ne se sente pas obligé et forcé de venir s’objecter à l’avancée des francophones ailleurs au pays, que ce soient dans les domaines scolaires ou de la santé par exemples. Ça impliquerait également que les francophones de ce pays, qui veulent s’épanouir, ne soient pas systématiquement obligés d’emprunter la voie juridique pour accéder à leurs droits, comme sont obligés de le faire principalement nos frères et sœurs acadiens de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard ou de la Nouvelle-Écosse.

Tentons d’extirper le mensonge dans nos pratiques politiques, comme on commence déjà à mentir dans le dossier de l’épandage des agents orange, pourpre et blanc à Gagetown..

Nous pourrons mieux célébrer ce pays quand il aura retrouver un meilleur sens du développement équitable pour l’ensemble des régions, et non pas seulement pour le centre et l’ouest canadien. Il ne faut plus que différentes régions de ce pays continuent de se sentir comme des restants de pays, ou des résidus de pays. La bataille épique du premier ministre Williams de Terre-Neuve et Labrador, l’hiver dernier, a été à la fois héroïque et pathétique. On ne devrait pas en Atlantique être obligé de partir en croisade chaque fois que nous voulons obtenir notre part du butin, comme on est obligé de continuer à le faire pour l’assurance emploi, entre autres.

Nous pourrons mieux célébrer ce pays quand il retrouvera ses grands idéaux du temps de Pearson et de Trudeau quant à la place du Canada dans ses rôles de pacificateur et d’accompagnateur dans le développement économique et social des pays en voie de développement. Peu avant son départ, monsieur Chrétien avait enchanté tout le monde en refusant d’embarquer le Canada dans la guerre en Irak et en lançant son opération privilégiée pour l’Afrique. Mais, on dirait que la sauce se gâte depuis ce temps-là.! Monsieur Martin tergiverse et tarde à emboîter le pas pour que le Canada fasse partie du club des nations qui veulent porter leur contribution aux pays en voie de développement à la hauteur de 0.7% de leur produit intérieur brut. Il va se faire chicaner par son ami Bono, et avec raison!.

Le Canada mérite d’être célébré , parce qu’il est définitivement l’un des meilleurs pays au monde. Il nous reste à mieux apprendre à soigner nos enfants et nos aînés, à mieux concilier travail-famille, à donner autant d’importance au BNB ( Bonheur national brut) qu’au PNB (Produit national brut) comme une conférence internationale tenue en Nouvelle-Écosse la semaine dernière nous a incité à le faire. Il nous reste à apprendre à mieux harmoniser nos rapports entre les différentes communautés et les différentes régions du pays. Célébrons ce que ce pays est déjà, mais travaillons à ce qu’il devienne meilleur! Bonne fête Canada!

AGENT ORANGE IN NEW BRUNSWICK CANADA!!!! THE SAD STORIES!!!!!

Former soldier says he was sprayed with chemicals at CFB Gagetown

Last Updated Thu, 30 Jun 2005 18:23:53 EDT

CBC News www.cbc.ca

A veteran who served at CFB Gagetown, in New Brunswick, has stepped forward with allegations he and others were deliberately sprayed with chemicals in the spring of 1967.

Herb Crowe believes he and others were part of an experiment on humans with the defoliant Agent Orange. Crowe says he decided to speak out after Defence Minister Bill Graham denied such experiments ever took place.

Crowe served in the 2RCHA artillery unit at CFB Gagetown from 1957 to 1985. He says in June of 1967, the same month the U.S. military was testing Agent Orange and Agent Purple at the base, he and several other artillery members were taken out into the woods.

"Once down there we were all ushered into a large tent, took our uniforms off, given coveralls and I don't know if they gave us a respirator, or we had our own with us.

"We were then taken out into the area. We were then put under camouflage net in the trees. [After a] little while then, not sure if it was fixed-wing or helicopter, came along and physically sprayed us while we were there in the woods in the camouflage nets."

Crowe says the soldiers were sprayed several times and then told they had to be decontaminated.

"When the spraying was finished we were taken into the tent, coveralls off, sprayed with some kind of a powder, took a shower, put our uniforms back on and were taken back to the base."

Crowe says he was summoned for a second test in the following days and noticed all the leaves were dead. He now believes he was part of a test conducted by the Americans using Agent Orange and Agent Purple. At the time soldiers were told nothing.

The 69-year-old is in good health, but he says several of the people who were with him on that June day are now dead, or dying. "Some of the people have passed away since then; most of them with cancer and a few still around today have cancer and they were on that test."

CBC News has contacted another member of Crowe's artillery unit who was with Crowe that day who confirms the test took place.

Earlier this week, Defence Minister Bill Graham said he's looked into it and there is no evidence "whatsoever" of tests on humans at CFB Gagetown.

"There was never any attempt whatsoever of any kind to actually spray individuals or to test material on individuals at Gagetown. That was not the purpose of anything that was being done. It was simply how do we remove the foliage in order for the operation to be more effective," said Graham.

Graham says he's willing to keep looking into it and to hear from people who say it happened.

Agent Orange plan in works

Andy Scott says the government will roll out its proposal in the coming days

By JORGE BARRERA
barrera.jorge@dailygleaner.com

OTTAWA - The federal government will announce its plan to deal with the fallout from chemical defoliant tests at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in the coming days, says Fredericton MP Andy Scott.

On Wednesday, federal cabinet ministers discussed a proposal that is expected to go beyond measures already announced by the Department of National Defence.

Scott, who is also the minister of Indian Affairs, said he couldn’t hint at what the proposal contained because it would breach cabinet confidentiality.

“The federal response is days away...” Scott said after the meeting.

“It’s one that I am quite happy with, as it’s playing out.”

Defence Department officials have said the toxic defoliant Agent Orange and Agent Purple were tested in small amounts at CFB Gagetown over seven days between 1966 and 1967.

But the department has said it’s unlikely residents of the surrounding communities were affected by the tests.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has already compensated the widow of one former military officer for illness caused by Agent Orange testing on the base.

Scott, who flew hack to Fredericton on Wednesday, said he will be talking about the matter this week with Oromocto-Gagetown Conservative MLA Jody Carr.

“I am going to discuss this with some friends in the area, including the people who contacted my office,” said Scott.

Carr has been calling on the government to launch an independent review of the entire defoliant program at CFB Gagetown, which he said dates back to 1956. He wants Ottawa to compensate military and civilians who were exposed to the defoliants.

The Defence Department has announced it will conduct environmental studies on Agent Orange and Agent Purple test plots at the base. The department is also tracing all personnel directly involved in the testing.

New Brunswick Southwest Conservative MP Greg Thompson has called for a public inquiry into chemical testing at the base.

Defence Department officials have said there is a tenuous connection between adverse health affects and exposure to Agent Orange and Agent Purple.

While no direct link has been established, other scientific research points to an association between the chemical defoliant and cancers such as soft tissue sarcoma, Hodgkin’s disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

PRESS RELEASE

THOMPSON CALLS FOR INDEPENDENT PUBLIC INQUIRY

Ottawa – June 27, 2005 – Greg Thompson, M.P. for New Brunswick Southwest is asking the Government of Canada to conduct a public inquiry on the herbicidal spraying programs at CFB Gagetown from 1956 to 1984. Mr. Thompson states the inquiry should also have the authority to make recommendations for compensation of all persons affected, both civilian and military.



Thompson says; “the public interest can only be served with an independent inquiry removed from the influence of senior officials in Ottawa”.



Appearing before the Standing Committee on National Defence and again at a public meeting at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, National Defence officials confirmed their investigation of Agent Orange and Agent Purple would be limited to “small scale” test periods during 1966 and 1967. Thompson suggests an investigation should not be limited to small scale test plots in a 2 year period, but should extend to the entire spray period from 1956 to 1984. The Government of Canada has silently sat on and withheld information on this spray program issue since 1981, information that could have been helpful to both civilian and military personnel and the surrounding communities at Base Gagetown. In the meantime literally hundreds of civilian and military persons have experienced a negative impact on their health.



Thompson states DND officials continue to ignore medical and scientific evidence on Agent Orange, and have drawn their conclusion on any future investigations yet to be carried out. In their own words DND officials state “In the absence of deliberate ingestion of large amounts of contaminated material, there is virtually no risk of significant exposure related to the spraying among Canadian Forces members who subsequently trained in Gagetown”.



Thompson today introduced in the House of Commons a Notice of Motion that would establish a public inquiry on the use of Agent Orange and Agent Purple and other chemical defoliants used between 1956 and 1984 at CFB Gagetown. The Government of Canada has the moral and ethical responsibility to provide all Canadians with a forum that is public and fair and with the authority to make recommendations for compensation”.

Cruise spars with Today Show host

Associated Press

Saturday, June 25, 2005

CREDIT: AP Photo/NBC, Virginia Sherwood
In this photo released by NBC, feature film star Tom
Cruise, right, gestures toward talk show co-host Matt
Lauer during the telecast of NBCs Today Show, Friday,
June 24, 2005. The interview became more heated when
Lauer began discussing anti-depressants and
Scientology.

NEW YORK - Tom Cruise criticized NBC "Today" show host
Matt Lauer on Friday when Lauer mentioned Cruise's
earlier criticism of Brooke Shields for taking
anti-depressants. Cruise told Lauer he didn't know
what he was talking about. "You don't know the history
of psychiatry. I do," Cruise said.

The interview became more heated when Lauer, who said
he knew people who had been helped by the
attention-deficit disorder drug Ritalin, asked Cruise
about the effects of the drug.

"Matt, Matt, you don't even — you're glib," Cruise
responded. "You don't even know what Ritalin is. If
you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have
to evaluate and read the research papers on how they
came up with these theories, Matt, OK. That's what
I've done."

When asked if he could be with someone at this stage
in his life who doesn't have an interest in the Church
of Scientology — girlfriend Katie Holmes has said
she's embracing the religion — Cruise told Lauer:
"Scientology is something that you don't understand.
It's like you could be a Christian and be a
Scientologist."

"It is a religion. Because it's dealing with the
spirit. You as a spiritual being. It gives you tools
you can use to apply to your life."

Cruise, 42, and Holmes, 26, went public with their
romance in April, smooching and posing for
photographers in Rome. They recently became engaged.

Many have doubted the romance. The words "publicity
stunt" have rained down on the couple like an alien
invasion as Cruise has been busy promoting his new
film, "War of the Worlds," directed by Steven
Spielberg, which opens on June 29.

"You know what? There's always cynics. There always
has been. There always will be," said Cruise, who
hasn't been shy about displaying his affection for
"Batman Begins" actress Holmes. "I have never worried
... about what other people think and what other
people say."

"I have to tell you. It's just a great time in my
life," Cruise said. "I'm really happy. And, you know,
I'm engaged. I'm going to be married. I can't restrain
myself."

The actor, whose marriages to Mimi Rogers and Nicole
Kidman ended in divorce, declined to say what Holmes
has brought to his life that wasn't there in the past.

"I don't want to compare things," Cruise said. "It's
that thing where you just — in life when it just
happens. ... You meet someone. And it's — I can't even
describe it."

NBers may be asked for their views on VLTs
Gov't reviews gambling policy as opposition pushes for public input

BY MARY MOSZYNSKI TIMES & TRANSCRIPT STAFF

FREDERICTON - NDP Leader Elizabeth Weir wants New Brunswickers to be given an opportunity to voice their concerns over VLT usage in the province.

Government is reviewing its gambling policy and Weir said those affected by gambling should be able to tell their stories.

"I think there should be an opportunity for those affected by the province's gambling policy to come forward and speak directly to New Brunswickers through a public hearing process," she said yesterday.

Finance Minister Jeannot Volpé said he'll consider Weir's suggestion. The province's review of the gambling policy should be completed by the fall, he added.

"I said it was a good option and what I'm ready to do is bring it to our group when we discuss reviewing our gaming policy in New Brunswick," he said yesterday.

Families who have lost loved ones to VLT addiction met in Nova Scotia Monday to call on government to act quickly and eliminate the gaming machines.

While New Brunswick's politicians decide which direction to take its gaming policy other provinces have already cut back on the number of VLTs in their bars.

Newfoundland announced a plan this spring that would reduce the number of VLTs in the province by 15 per cent over five years.

Quebec is removing more than 2,500 VLTs from neighbourhood bars and putting them into centralized gaming parlours.

Meanwhile, the Ontario government has imposed a moratorium on casino expansion, British Columbia has said it won't put VLTs in bars and lounges, and Alberta has set a goal to reduce the number of locations with VLTs up to 15 per cent.

Manitoba is one of the only provinces that seems to be moving in the other direction, with recent plans to add to its stock of VLTs.

In Nova Scotia, the provincial government has said it plans to reduce the number of VLTs and their hours of operation, but is not considering an outright ban.

Yesterday's news conference in Halifax demands government take action on VLTs, Weir said.

However, Volpé said he isn't feeling any pressure from the other provinces to reduce the number of VLTs in New Brunswick. The minister also said government isn't sold on the idea of introducing racinos.

"We've got one of the lowest addiction rates across the province, we've got the lowest number of machines per capita," he said. "Can we improve? There might be some potential for us to improve and reduce even more that rate of addiction."

It's a sad state of affairs when someone can export hundreds of jobs and then have the nerve to sail into harbour with a ship built by foreigners and ask you to support him at the pumps so he can do it to you all over again! The local longshoremen aren't even allowed to tie the lines!

IRVING EMPLOYEES ARE A DETERMINE BUNCH!!!

It's 3:35pm and I came by the Legislature and walked in the Gallery! I would say around 60 Irving employees are still there! My God? It's hot up there!!!! The Liberals don't seem to be bothered by these Irving employees! They're speaking out loud and clear against this propose LNG deal!!!!

MY GOD??? IT MUST BE NICE TO BE AN IRVING EMPLOYEE???

It's 1:00pm and these Irving employees are a very dedicated bunch. They stayed in the Gallery for 2 hours and it's must be over 100 degres. Anyway, it must be nice to be an Irving employee? The protesters from last week hung around Tim's for luch. Where do you believe these Irving employees went? At the BeaverBrook Hotel for a nice hig paying meals. I noticed all kinds of P.C. in that group and also the Labour Mouvement. They're going to return at the Legislature at 2:00pm I guess!!! Sta tune for more....

MY GOD? THESE IRVING'S EMPLOYEES ARE TOUGH!!!!

It's 11:20am and the LNG debate hasn't even started. I made a head count and there's 100 people in the Gallery with their fancy suit! It wouldn't surprise me if a few of them fainted. It's going to be interesting to see if the Liberals will be imteminated < if that how you spell it? > by these Irving's employees! Of course the media will be waiting to cover their concerns and I will be right there to find out what kind of questions they asked? One guy from Irving Equipement told me that he was paid overtime to come here and since he has never been at the Legislature? He decided to go for the ride. I was already approached by one Irving employee who told me that I shouldn't write against the Irvings because I worked for them. I told the guy in front of everybody that I have a problem when J.D. Irving supports racism! If he had his way? Every niggers or frogs would be hung by the trees! I must admit that this line did turn a few heads! Ok,..,,,,going back...excuse the dearn style of this update because I just write the darn thing and send it along...by bye

THE IRVING'S SOLDIERS ARE HERE IN FULL FORCE!!!!

My God? Lots of money involded in this protest. So far, two buses from Saint John Transit came to drop off the supporters of the LNG deal. I was surprised to see the Lbour Mouvement in that crowd. Union and the Irvings side by side? The difference with this crowd is that they are all dress in suits and tie. These are people are dedicated their life and soul to the Irving Empire. They also came with that fancy cars. It's very difficult for me to mingle with these people. Of course, I know some of them but they don't wish to be caught chatting with me because they will be fired on the spot!!! Ok...going back out!!!!I ussually watch the bebate from the Cafeteria but today everything is blocked off! It's going to be very warm in the Gallery! Stay tune for more stories!!!! I might add that even former Irving's employees are also present!!!!

THE IRVINGS GESTAPO ARE SUPPOSE TO BE IN FRONT OF THE NEW BRUNSWICK LEGISLATURE!!!!

It could be show time in front of the Legislature this morning???

From what I’ve heard, the Irving Gestapo are coming to the Capital!

irvin-Emp

I wonder why they would even bother to come here?

They have the bureaucrats taking care of the Irving’s affair in Fredericton.

Charles 04_07_05 079

They have control of those racists members of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission and you know the rest!

HR-1-

If the Irving’s Gestapo do show up? I will be right in the middle of the action. I will shout- Hiii Irving!!!!

I can see it now?

Just like soldiers on the front line, the Irving’s media will run outside to take pictures of the crowd and print the story on the front page of their Gestapo newspapers brainwashing the public with their stories.

Leg

The barricades are once again set up to welcome the citizens from Saint John but I believe that the situation could turned ugly if the protesters against the LNG deal are treated like dirt compared to the Irving’s supportive given the red carpet!

Could it be the beginning of a revolution?

liberty

Personally, I don’t believe that the Irvings are stupid enough to send off their troops to the Capital?

There’s no way in the world that Bernard Lord will back down and listen to the people of Saint John.

I feel bad for guys like Trevor Holder because they’re not bad people.

TREVOR

They are just told what to do by the higher ups.

I noticed this afternoon many of these Cabinet Ministers having a good old time on the floor of the Legislature.

On October 15, 2007??? A new party will take power of the Legislature and the drugging and killing of our children will come to a stop!

Bernard Lord will go down in history for ignoring the prescription drug problem in this Province and this is a darn shame!

Well? Keep on reading this blog during the day for some quick updates of the going ons with the Irving Gestapo and the Anti-LNG deal Protesters in front of the Legislature.

irvin-Emp
LNG-3

I will not have time to send you an email. It will be up to you to check out the actions!

Don't forget one thing? Once you have a Billionaire like J.D. Irving promoting racism with the Irving Empire? Then you have a problem! You will see all kinds of raicts in front of the Legislature. I will be there facing them without any fear!!!

Charles-thanks

MORE TERRIBLE SAD NEWS FOR CHARLES!!!!

For you long time readers? Remember this guy from the North Shore?

He came down to the Capital to protest the hospital cuts in the North Shore.

His name was Denis Losier.

acaduen


I just learned that he was one of the two brothers killed over the weekend.

He and his brother were hit by a vehicle that was driven by their best friend.

This guy was suppose to blog en Francais in my blog.

I hung with him all day during their protest!

He was a very nice guy!!!

After this picture was taken. We gave each other a little hug and little did I know that he would be dead months afterwards!!!

My deepest sympathy goes out to all his family and friends.

I'm on a roll I guess!!! ANY OTHER BAD NEWS?????

SIGH!!! WHAT A F@CKING LIFE!!!!

acaduen

LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS!!!

When a person is down or depress they turn to professional help for advice.

Well, in my case? I use the keyboard but unfortunately with this line of communication, I share my personal views with thousands of people on the information highway.

Ch-gir--

My fingers feels like they weight around 100 pounds each. I might add that I also feel like there’s a million pound on my shoulder.

I went out with Pat for close to three years and I must admit there were problems because she has a son who’s on oxy-contin.

Ch-gir--

That killer drug have destroyed many families during these last few years.

It wasn’t my son so knowing that I have a very bad temper? I had to take a little vacation.

This is where my protest in the Capital began in 2003.

I told Pat that I would be gone for a two week period not knowing that it would last for six months.

After the protest, I decided to end my relationship and move to Fredericton.

The atmosphere was a little less stressful than the one in Saint John.

Over the past few years, I would meet with Pat and we would discuss our past.

Ch-gir--

She would apologizes of the trouble that I went through because of her son.

As I told her friends – I always love Pat and always will!

I met with her last Thursday for around 20 minutes and she lost a lot of weight since her bad accident last summer.

Ch-gir--

She added that her left side of her body hurts.

I told her to check it out in the hospital?

I guess that she didn’t because I phoned her last evening and her son told me that she took a heart attack.

There were no pause but the Emergency crew bought her back to life. What a great group of professionals!

Around noon, I took the bus to the hospital and I didn’t know what to expect?

They told me that she was stationed in the M.I.C.U. Once there, I was told that only family members were allowed but they told me that I could visit her for a few minutes.

My God? It was terrible!!!

Ch-gir--

While making my way to her room. I noticed many other sick people in the unit with their close family members around them.

The old saying is so true- If she or he has their health? They shouldn’t complain!

Once in her little room, I noticed a pipe in her mouth with 5 to 8 machines hook to her. It was at that point that reality hit me. I broke down.

I touch her hands and they were cold as ice.

She opened her eyes a little and noticed me. I don’t know if she recognized me or not?

I felt her hair and told her that I love her but there were no reaction.

I once again broke down and left the area.

I wrote a little note about her and put it on the wall near her helpless body.

Pat was a beautiful girl who could liven up the room with her beautiful smile.

Saint John June 04-05 004

She had beautiful eyes that would attract everyone in the area.

I left the room and I was in bad shape. I was alone and down. I appreciated the few seconds of privacy in the elevator.

I went outside and had tears in my eyes. I waited for the bus. The bus driver soon realizes that Charles LeBlanc had a different attitude because I never shut up on the ride to the hospital but this time around it was a quiet Charles!

Not one that the public often sees. To make matters wrost? The bus went by some old places that we used to hang around.

The poor has another problem in life. When you live in a City or you don’t own a vehicle? There’s no place to mourn. I remembered in the early 80s. A friend of mine died of cancer at the old General Hospital. I ran to my car and cried for a short period. It’s call privacy!!!! There sure isn’t no privacy in the big cities.

I made my way home through Market Square. I bumped into a couple who’s recognizes me and congratulated me for my stand against the Irvings but they sound found out that I wasn’t in a fighting mood. I told them the problem and they send out their prayers for Pat!

I found out a few other issues since then and I will definitely bring them to the public eye if Pat takes a turn for the worst.

Life is so short.

I always enjoy walking through the cemetery because a person will notice the many deaths that occurred at a very young age.

cemetery

It doesn’t matter if you die at the age of 4 years old or 100!!! It’s so short that we should enjoy it while we’re on the planet.

My prayers goes out to Pat and I hope the Lord looks after her because is truly a good person with a huge heart! May God bless her!!!

ONE OF THE BEST MESSAGE YET FROM ARTIST WCIE!!!!

Yes, It’s been quite a last 48 hours. I don’t really fell like writing because I received some bad news last night.

Saint John June 04-05 004

Please send some of your prayers for Pat.

During my stay in Acadian Country, I found out that many didn’t understand or didn’t care of the LNG deal.

Most of the Acadians are very upset of the way the Irvings have control of all the media in this Province.

The Irvings are not well liked in that part of the world. The Acadians don’t understand the LNG deal because the Moncton Transcript refuse to print critical letters of the Irvings!

This newspapers is trying to brainwash the public with their pro Irving stories.

Speaking of LNG?

I heard that two bus load of people are going to Fredericton on Wednesday to support the LNG deal!

LNG-3

YES, I SAID- IN SUPPORT OF THE LNG DEAL!

From what I’m told, they are Irving employees!!!! These worker have dedicated their life and souls to the Irving empire.

irving1

The Irvings must have told its employees that if they didn’t go to the Capital? They would be fired!

I guess the Irvings heard their were only 25 people in Fredericton who were against the LNG deal.

So I guess the Irvings are going to send all their employees and of course the story will be front page news!

What a bunch of HOGWASH!!!

Speaking of the Government I heard that Bernard Lord will announce this week a plan for a very low insurance rate plan.

They believe that this will give the Premier a break from the voters for the summer months.

Sorry! This will not help the Premier because he totally refuses to deal with the issues that kill people.

lord1

The issues of VLT’S and Ritalin should be address as soon as possible but the Premier insists that the Drugging and the killing of our children will continue till October 15th, 2007! < Provincial election >

Are You Dying To Play This Summer

With Shawn Graham elected as Premier? The kids will be saved!!!!!!!

shawn_graham

Hey? I am not making up these stories because even the Ombudsman told the Senate that Ritalin was a grave concern with the kids in this Province.

Ritalin

So to Bernard and The Irvings?

Lower the insurance rate and fill up the Legislature with these phony Irving’s employees.

These action will not….I REPEAT…will not stop the hatred toward this Premier.

We need a Premier who listens to the People.

NEW BRUNSWICKERS ARE TO PASSIVE ALSO THE ISSUE OF THE POOR!!!

I had an interesting 48 hours in the Loyalist City! I didn’t know there were so many citizens who listen to the Talk Show< CFBC > Talk of the town.

I felt like a Politician listening to other people’s problems.

J BARRY

My God? There’s a lot of people hurting in this Province.


Hey? Did you see the good comment about the Irvings in this Blog? You can read it in the blog of what Irvings owns on the top left hand side of this blog.

Yes, the issue of Ritalin is once again in the front burner and all the thanks goes out to Bernard Richard.
Ritalin-Dilemma

I posted his presentation in this blog. You can read it below. Pretty interesting debate Bernard Richard and the Senators.

050614richard-bernard-comite-senat_n

One of the Senators spoke out against Bernard for saying that the Senate has no influence in this Province.

Lets see what’s going to happen once the final verdict comes out of the Irving Monopoly of Newspapers.

You can read the transcript of the hearings at????

Tim Smith is wondering the reason that some people don’t join him in his fight against the issue of VLT’S just as in Nova Scotia.

vlt's close up game king

I told Tim Smith over and over! This is New Brunswick!!!! We are too passive on issues.

If we’re poor? People will or the bureaucrats will say- Hey? That person is poor so therefore just ignore their concerns. < I will get into great details about this issue in the next few weeks > Stay tune!

drunk

Look at the issue of Ritalin.

I bumped into Jane Barry a few weeks ago and I felt that time hasn’t change because I am still talking about the issue of Ritalin!

While a Minister in the Capital.

J BARRY

She has heard my concerns but unfortunately the Liberals were toss from power a few months afterwards.

Once Shawn Graham is elected Premier the issue of Ritalin will be studied.

shawn_graham

So I guess that the drugging and the killing of our children will continue till the next provincial election will is stated for October 15th, 2007! Too bad so sad!!!!

There’s a BIG difference between Saint John and Fredericton.

If you don’t have access to a vehicle and you’re poor? You are force to be located in one area of the City.

The Loyalist City is very spread out compare to the Capital where everything is handy!

Which brings me to one emotional question?

The Soup Kitchen Romero House is located in the South End.

romero

The majority of the poor goes to that much needy place.

I wonder how the poor in the other parts of the City manage?

I know we don’t have the money but I believe there should be a Soup Kitchen in every area in the City.

EAST, WEST AND NORTH!

I do realized this will never happen! Remember when I wrote a letter asking the readers to drop over some spoons at the Fredericton Soup Kitchen.

By the way? They are still in need for spoons and if you have plastic ones?

soon1

That would be fine. Romero House seem to have the same problem with Spoons.

Take a look at this picture??? Yes, the drug problem is much wrost in the Loyalist City than the Capital!

I wish that the Lord Government would take the prescription drug problem in this Province in a serious manner!

If Romero House or the the Fredericton Soup Kitchen wasn’t around?

kitchen1

My God? It would be terrible! Do you have a heart? I’m sure you do?

Drop over some spoons at these needy places.

romero

They sure can use them!

I’m not certain if Romero House really needs them.

Maybe they have some spare ones but who know? Give them a call to find out!

I know for a certain fact that the Fredericton Soup is in need of spoons!

Plastic or metal ones!

Well? I’m glad to announce there won’t be much bloglling during the next few days because I’m suppose to be in Memramcook for the 50th anniversary of my uncle Al and Theresa.

Can you imagine being married for 50 years!

He’s the guy that I wrote about a few months ago. Here’s their picture.

al and thereesa

Maybe Tim Smith will blog a few this weekend? Who knows?

Hey? Don’t forget to share this blog with all your friends on your email list!

Word of mouth id very important and this is what keeps this blog going!!!

Ok….Please excuse the style and grammar of this update because I just write the darn thing and send it along the information Highway! Bye bye…..
