Hi Charlie-- do you see anything in these pictures? Can you PLEASE find another City within the boundries of Canada who has a completely ghostly abandoned Harbour like ours here in Saint John N.B.
Oh and it would really be nice if this Canadian City was also founded by their Harbour and is right in the middle of the downtown.
The reason I'm asking this of you is just so I can get my head around whether Mr.Harper,Mr.Lord or Mr.MacFarlane is trying to be the biggest fool in trying to dupe the Citizens of The City of Saint John as well as The Province of New Brunswick into this weird and wacky dream they all seem to be having that we're prospering right along into the future.
But the trouble with that dream they're trying to sell to us is everytime I go down to the Front Door to this City and look out into the magnificent open Saint John Harbour that we proudly called our Front Door not that long ago Is nothing more than a cesspool of Toiletries,human waste,garbage and debree topped off with a little foam topping complements of the pulpmill at the edge of the Saint John River.
The Real Nightmare is what you don't see,Where are the Ships?,Boats, Hell even a dingy would be a welcome site. I tried to get you some pictures of the Westside walls of the docks but they shadow from the distance They are so delapitated beyond repair its shameful that it ever reached that point without intervention to drum up business with all the smarts we're supposed to be paying for I believe it is time for all levels of government to stand and roll up their sleeves get to work and come up with a plan that will revitalize this port of call once and for all for both Big & Small Business as well as Big & Small Entertainment and Not Ten,Twenty,Thirty Years from now.
If this port would have been kept up to par and working for itself, it indeed could have paid for the much needed clean up of Human Waste we have been trying so hard to get but just can't seem to afford.
Footnote: I bumped into a couple visiting from Ont. this morning and they were leaning over the rail at the Market Square Board Walk area about to take a few pictures of what they thought were chunks of ice,When the Gentlemen's Wife turned to me and said "Isn't it bizzarr that your still getting "ICE" this far into your Harbour this time of year??"
I openly chuckled and then said noo no thats just foam from the Pulp and Paper Mill that gathered a little dirt and dust on the way down here as I pointed out to where the Saint John River flows into the Bay. She then yelled to her husband and said "Hey its o k don't take the pictures and began to tell him what it was and laughed a little.
P.S. I did take a moment to tell them they were actually very lucky to get to see this view at High Tide verses Low Tide and I'm sure I need say no more on that part.
Keep up the great work..........

This sickens me alot how they talk about this and nothing ever happens. Lord has been their long enough to demand action. The Mayor gets pictures opts but that is all smoke and mirrors to railroad the people and stuff the LNG down our throats and expect us to be happy that a pipeline will go through our park and city. This mayor is hated so much and we will never, I mean never forgive this behind the door deal. This has been a bigger plan right from the time the Mayor ran and five or six puppets have gone for a ride and always vote the way the Myor wants. Great system they have going; disheartening at best.
Over twenty years ago I had thyroid cancer and I two operations and after that radiation drink. I was put in a room which was suppose to have lead floor but they made a mistake and soon they got me to hop on the bed and wheeled me to a special room. After a couple of days and the level of radiation despersed and a reading was made for radiation I could safely go home.
I was given food on a paper plates and little contact with staff.
I asked them what happens to the water when I shower and when I used the washroom. I was told that they had a holding cell for a little while but most of it goes right into the harbour. All the people in power know this but still nothing happens. Great tasting lobster and fish.
We all have been exposed all our lives first in schools with asbestos, lead in paint, mercury in fish, chemicals in fruit and vegetables, chemical spraying from airplanes to kills bugs and spray potato fields. Also something in the ground that they read levels of. This area has high counts of cancer and Irving refining, Pulp and Paper causes alot of health risks for workers and people breathing in the air and growing vegatables in the ground.
What a great life; wonder the real the real levels of risks we have had in Saint John NB. The people are lined up for radiation and chemotheraphy by the thousands.
Corporations are making money on us being sick and I wouldn't doubt if Irving has a company or stocks betting on making billions while we suffer to live, breathe and have some king of life out of this crisis! They don't lose sleep but still have the gull to keep asking for tax concessions but in reality it should be the citizens of Saint John and NB who should be receiving dividends by the millions at least. That is just a drop in the bucket for them who run when it is time to pay taxes and accept responsibility.
Irving should pay for Harbour cleanup in full; you would expect it if only you knew how seriously they have been killing us with chemicals and pollutions for decades. They have so many lawyers that you will never see the true picture until we are all dead.
yeah but do you know if you turn the corner you can purchase a condo for 440,000 and up. just go to www.mls.ca so if it is that bad people are still shuvling out the dough.
