Some told me to blame Bernard Lord for my banning from the New brunswick Legislature?

This time around? I don't believe so.....As in these pictures taken months ago? He was thinking of something when he saw me taking a picture and quickly shouted something?

I really don't hate Bernard Lord. I just want a study done of the way our kids are being drugged and killed?

Nothing wrong in asking for a study? I might add that 10,000 people signed my petition. So what's the hold up??

I think the intention was to cast some blame at Lord-wasn't he on the committee? There was a lot of blogs against Kelly Lamrock, who was also on the board, but very little against the other people-like Shawn Graham. Since the buck stops with the Premier the responsibility rests with him-the tory members of the committee aren't going to vote against him-if they know whats good for them. So a large measure of blame absolutely rests on the premier, so he shouldn't be off the hook. The responsibility always lies with the guy with the biggest paycheque- and this guy earns over a dozen times what you do, and from the state of the province, deserves it a dozen times less.

That stinks mj but that also comes with living in rural areas. It would be nice to have all the amenties of a city in every rural area but it's not feasible. There will always be a reduction of services in rural areas. There unfortunately has to be. Is it fair? Maybe not but it is realistic. Folks in rural areas have to travel for shopping, hospitals, doctors, recreation and daycare. That's unfortunately the price that's paid for living in the country. There are some benefits. Usually more land, cheaper taxes and cleaner air.

That's why Harper's daycare plan was much more fair to rural areas than the Liberals. At least rural parents get something.

Actually, no it wasn't. Most people think that rural people live on farms a dozen km away and are self sufficient or something. The reverse is true, there are far more organizations available for child care in rural communities than urban ones. Churches, YMCA's, and local organizations were all eligible for funding. Giving a rural person a cheque to cover one months childcare does little or nothing. The liberals plan was far more generous and even cost effective.

Far more people in urban areas do their own childcare than in rural areas.

And of course its nonsense that it 'has to be this way' to screw rural areas over. The only reason it 'has' to be is because the representation is all in southern New Brunswick in the big cities. The exact same reason the maritimes 'have' to get screwed over federally-there are hardly any people and the represention favours the population heavy provinces.

But these are decisions like any other. To say otherwise makes it sound like its a law of gravity and there's nothing anybody can do about it. Legislation can easily be written to force Aliant to offer low cost high speed internet. There was no law of gravity that said they 'had' to offer Irving a huge tax deal-that was arranged no problem.

The only difference here is that rural people don't matter, and politicians and industry don't like where their living anyway so they certainly aren't going to go out of their way to make life better there. But it would be very easy, and economically beneficial too.
