IRVING'S SHIPS IN SAINT JOHN HARBOUR!!!

SHIPS2
SHIPS

Charlie:

Here is a picture of the new Irving NOR EASTER.

Built in Korea, Under flag of convenience, Chartered from Maersk line. Painted Irving colors!

# 2 is due along shortly.

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!

Charlie. Spin this story any way you want. Just don't put my name to it!

Have a good one.

Hello Charles,sorry it took me so long to answer. I was not feeling well due
to my illness and was off line for close to 2 weeks but I am still active on
your list. I think your site is fantastic,informative and gets people
to
think. The one thing I picked up on was how we as a society are
drugging
our kid's to behave or act"normal".I have no idea what normal is in its
truest form but I have read things that happen other countries that we
would
go to jail for if we did them. Most of these are cultural stuff,like a
boy's
accent to manhood may involve having sex with an women perhaps even
younger
than he or older.I use just this an example. What is normal for you and
I is
not so for others as you well know. Another thing teachers are in our
schools to teach ,not look for patients to fill the pockets of drug
companies with cash. My son was acting up in school last year and the
teacher says he needs help,he needs this. We went through with all the
tests
and all my son needed was a new teacher. When he got a new teacher his
marks
,behavior and attitude changed overnight! But if we had not listened to
our
gut feelings,our son today might be on a drug he does need to take.
Scary
stuff!

Hi Charles

Yes still actively reading your posts - sometimes days & days late as I
work
full time nights & have my own business to run also & my son is
Autistic so
my plate is quite full at this time, but I do enjoy reading your
blog/posts.
Keep up the good work & passing on of information.

You should ask each of the 100 people if they live and pay the Saint
John
taxes? One that doesn't pay Saint John Tax Rate and who is there
supporting the Irvings is Dianne, so why wouldn't they be for it if
they
don't have to pay it. Thats the question to ask after you find out who
they are and where they work.

Is it true that Irving has numerous companies for gas transit?
-one buys raw oil
-another company of Irving ships it
-another does refining
-another sells gas whole sale
-another selling at retail
All owned by Irving family and each company making profit at each stage. By the time gas reaches consumer Irving makes profit many times over. And consumer pays through his nose.

This is the kind of thing that just makes me so dame mad!,built in korea?!,here we are with a god dame ship building port sitting there rotting away & instead of giving all those laidoff friget workers a job they send it all off to some forien country. i thought the same thing when the canadian government bought those 1902 piece of crap subs from the U.K.,we should have built two or three brand new subs right here in saint john & or in canada but instead they buy old junk that has already killed one of our canadian forces & put work & money in forien countrys. stupid & disgraceful IMO.
