I had been hoping that Michelle Hooton would have won the election.
I was rooton for hooton all the way, right down until the very last ballot was counted.
Mister Man I'm here to tell ya',If I was a member of the Irving organization, I'd be raising the price of Gas, Furnace Oil, Heating Oil, and I'd double the price especially for Senior Citizens as a result of the elction.
I'm a korean war veteran, and as soon as I came back home from overseas, I had a job out at the Dry Dock in no time at all. And every year we always got a free turkey to boot.
When one of the Irvings told me what to do, It was Yes Sir and No Sir all the time. If I was working at an Irving full service gas station and somebody was boasting about the election results, I'd tell them to fill their tanks themselves, and still charge them the Full Service Price, maybe I'd even raise it just as they were filling up.
The LNG Deal is a good thing for all of us. So what if it blows up, we'll never know what hit us.
At least we'll all know what a Ballon or a Boil on the Behind feels like when it blows up. More than enough safety precautions will be taken care of 100% by the Irvings I'm sure.
And shame on people protesting the fact about the Pipeline going through Rockwood Park. The park needs some renovations anyway.
We could charge Tourists for the Pipeline tour.
The next time any of you meet any of the Irvings or any of the current provincial government members, just remember to say thank you for all of the good work their doing for both the local area, and the province as a whole.
And always remember to tell them God Bless ya's all.
This was your statement correct ? This is the worst government we ever had. Bunch of morons and totally incompetent.
I have a Ba,Phd and Masters in Political Science, and only a Moron would say something negative about the Bernard Lord Government.
And I'm currently writing a song which I hope will become the New Brunswick Anthem.
And if you're all nice and behave yourselves, I just might let you learn the words Voluntarily, before it's law that you must learn the words, and have to sing the praises of our current elected Provincial Government Officials at all Public Gatherings.
God why do I even bother trying to educate these poor souls.
macvsog,now you even sound like Bernard Lord. Self-conceited. He has Ph. D. too from Saint Thomas which he bought for himself. Surely your song will be about narcissism. You and Bernie can sing it together. Bernie is a moron and only moron can be his fans. Oh yes! He is a legend in his own mind.
Listen Here 8:28 PM I'll have you also know, I also have my Doctorate in Political Science.
And here's the proof that Bernard Lord is indeed a Shining Star, just like the star in the east in the Christams Story.

Lord's star remains high out west Premier finishes up tour in Vancouver today
At a pub adjacent to the Grand Okanagan resort in Kelowna B.C., a group of reporters are sharing a beer after a full day's work.
They are in the city to cover the national summit on aboriginal issues that would culminate with a $5-billion plan to improve, health, education and living conditions for Canada's natives.
But the night before the meetings end, most of the plan, save for the financial breakdown, is already known.
And while it's after hours, they are always on the lookout for the next story.
That's when they spot Premier Bernard Lord's press secretary, Chisholm Pothier, and call him over to the table.
They want to know about the byelection loss in Saint John Harbour, and how that affects the inevitable stories they are planning that Mr. Lord would be a leading contender to succeed federal leader Stephen Harper should he, as Alberta Conservative Premier Ralph Klein predicts, fail in the imminent federal election.
They are treated to the stock answer from the Lord camp. No, he's planning on seeing through his term as premier until 2007.
That's been the line for some time now, but still, the questions about federal politics won't go away for the premier.
After attending the Grey Cup in Vancouver Sunday he wraps up a cross-country tour today with an appearance before Vancouver's Board of Trade and a sit down with the editors of the Vancouver Sun newspaper.
The tour included similar stops in Montreal, Toronto and Calgary and the premier received praise every step of the way.
The Calgary Herald editorial board last week met with the four Atlantic premiers and called them "an impressive team." The board praised them for offering "robust solutions, bright optimism and solid fiscal performance," noting that despite their status as have-nots New Brunswick and the other Atlantic provinces are moving forward.
Mr. Lord's bilingualism and perceived social conservatism play well in Ontario and Quebec. His tax-cutting and beliefs that less is more in governments play well out west.
As a result, he is still viewed as a contender for federal leadership, and in some circles given a better chance of leading the federal Conservatives to victory than Mr. Harper.
His troubles at home, sagging popularity in the polls and the Saint John loss that crippled any notion he would run federally before the next provincial election, have not gone unnoticed.
Still, he continues to play better outside the province than at home. And the questions about his aspirations beyond provincial politics persist.
"It's everywhere I go, people talk to me about this," admitted Premier Lord in an interview in Kelowna.
"I tell them my focus is New Brunswick," he added, repeating the stock answer that his press secretary gave to the table of reporters a short time earlier.
"I have a mandate to complete," he says, "and I intend to run again in New Brunswick."
There were persistent rumours that a victory by Tory Michelle Hooton in Saint John was part of the plan to launch his entry into federal politics much sooner.
"No, no not at all," insists the premier. "It wasn't the plan."
He's obviously delighted, though, that his cross-country tour has been such a hit outside the province, prompting him to take a good-natured poke at one newspaper at home.
"It's not a hit in the Telegraph-Journal," he said with a laugh, a reference to an editorial that questioned whether this cross-country trip was about selling the province or selling Mr. Lord.
Joking aside, the Tories are dead serious in their belief that the premier has been treated unfairly at times by the media at home.
Mr. Lord sees the praise he's been getting outside the province as vindication for his record of the past six years as premier.
"Things are changing in Atlantic Canada," Mr. Lord said.
"People outside the province, when you explain it to them"... in some ways they see it more than we do," he adds.
"They realize we're making significant gains.
"It's nice to see."
Of course, all that good press he's been getting outside the province means nothing to his plight at home.
Momentum is now definitely on the side of the Liberals in the race to election 2007.
But if things don't work out for Mr. Lord at home, he'll always have the rest of the country.
There have been some doubters, but the byelection loss in Saint John appears to have done minimal damage to his reputation outside of New Brunswick's borders.
If the slide at home continues however, it will be interesting to see how many people remain on the Bernard Lord bandwagon when the opportunity to run for the federal leadership does eventually present itself.
macvsog, lest we ever forget! This is the only reality Mr.Lord has left to face. Then it's out of the public life without even a trace.
(A PARTING FROM OFFICE BRIEF)
OverBoard With Mr.Lord!
Overboard went Mr.Lord Into the river of shame. And as he went down,he said with a frown,I have nobody else to blame.
As the people they spoke,My ministers I woke Saying deal with these problems at hand.
Putting them on the spot so I wouldn't get caught For my plans that they don't understand.
For I fooled all the voters on elections that day Into thinking I’m the man for the job.
They had no idea the price they would pay,Nor did I in creating a mob
I thought I could fool them into thinking I might Be the premier of choice that would put up their fight. But instead I destroyed everything that I touch. Now the voters are saying they suspected as much
So they yell and they scream that they don't have to live With a man such as me a( Con-ser-va-tive)
And if truth should be told then I probably would,Agree with the people that I misunderstood
Reflecting back now with no choice I digress. My legacy,job and my life in a mess,
The rumor I’m hearing I suppose that it's true Back in with the red and out the blue...
Be it Liberals or Tories,the people will choose. And with your new powers you must never abuse. For it turns out the people hold power of blame. So take care not to join me in this river of shame!
Did Lord not pay reporters to go with him to France to write stories about him? Did he not entertain journalists at Larry's Gulch to get stories written? All at taxpayer's expense.
I heard in Vancouver it was a joke. Reporters had nothing to do so they went after the Premier's spokesman. May be they got few drinks and wrote a blurb. That is the recent history of Bernard Lord, publicity starving.
Unless anybody has the right stuff Not to hide behind an Anonymous Monicker, I don't think you should even think about leaving a post on this blog, or any others for that matter.
People may not agree with my Postings, but at least I leave my name, and even my Location on this posting.
I bet the truth be known, you don't even know where Vancouver is.
You sound to me, like another frustrated Political Wannabee, and deep down you know just like every other smart person " like myself "
Bernard Lord is going to be the Next Deputy Prime Minister Of Canada.
mrs maryann bedford you took the trouble of responding to the anonymous. It must matter. Are you Bernie's hitperson that you want to know the names of the anonymous?
You are dreaming on two levels:
First Harper is never going to be the Prime Minister. Second, let us say he wins then how is he going to appoint Bernie as Deputy Prime Minister when he is not running federally? That tells us how much you know about politics. Pathetic, eh! And so are your leaders.
First of all, I agree 100% wuth Mrs. Maryann Bedford only a Coward Of The County Would hide behind an Anonymous Posting.
The reason I'm using the Monicker Preacher, is because I'm going to Preach to you about Politics and how it operates.
First and foremost One has to be a good Liar, know how to take care of your friends after you've been elected " with financial grants and Construction Contracts and so forth.
You really don't think, people or big business companies are going to help get somebody elected, without wanting something back in return Do You ?
If you do, then You're the one who is the Dreamer.
A quick way for New Brunswick to raise some fast Cash, is simply to make Gambling Legal Full-Time.
Allow VLT Machines everywhere, even in Shoppers, Grocery Store Locations in addition to Tim Horton Locations as well.
Turn New Brunswick into the Gambling Capital Of The Eastern Sea Board.
Do away with the public anti-smoking rules and regulations.
Just do anything to make more money, money and more money.
When you have the power over those whom you rule, you are God. And that is how Bernard Lord will become Canada's next Deputy Prime Minister. He will show Mr. Harper how to win elections, and the Deputy Prime Minister Gig will be his.
Apparently Preacher is not your real name so you are hiding behind an odd nickname. Preacher does not preach to lie, decieve, drink, smoke, gamble. Only a devil will do that.
You do not have to be dishonest to be a good politician. That is Bernard Lord's problem. Dishonesty is not the best policy. You live in a very ignorant world of your own. May you be helped.
