Brad Green is a P.C. Mla from Fredericton-Silverwood. He’s been there for years and you know what?
I like the guy.
Trust me? I confronted the guy on different issues and never once have I saw him lose his temper.
On a personal level? I like the guy but I found it very strange that he didn’t have his headquarters in downtown Fredericton. Maybe this could hurt him with the voters from the poor population?
He plays the part of a bureaucrats pretty good and I’m saying that he’ll be re-elected.
He’s in my riding but because of Bernard Lord refusal to do a study on Ritalin or the way our kids are being prescribe prescription drugs? I can’t vote for him.
But Brad Green will be re-elected!

A former resident of the notorious Kingsclear training centre confronted New Brunswick's attorney general on the campaign trail Monday morning, accusing him of thwarting a private prosecution of former guard Karl Toft.
John Fearon spoke with Brad Green, Conservative candidate for the district of Fredericton-Silverwood, for 20 minutes in front of several journalists.
Fearon has begun a hunger strike to protest the government's decision to halt his private prosecution of Toft, a former Kingsclear guard.
Earlier this year, Judge Graydon Nicholas ruled Fearon could file a private assault charge against Toft for alleged abuse that happened while Fearon was a resident of the facility in the 1960s. Fearon had pursued the case for more than a decade.
But Green stayed the charge and sent the entire file to Nova Scotia lawyer Joel Pink. Green says if Pink finds enough evidence to warrant a conviction, the case will go ahead at the government's expense. If not, the charges will never proceed.
Fearon confronted Green in Fredericton, and accused him of interfering in the case because an election was pending. "Up until that time you were quite willing to let me spend my money and my resources, hundreds of thousands of dollars, to get that decision," Fearon said.
Green debated Fearon on the sidewalk in front of several reporters.
Fearon originally complained about the alleged abuse to police, but provincial Crown prosecutors decided not to lay charges against Toft. The judge who reviewed Fearon's private prosecution case disagreed with the Crown's opinion.
Green told Fearon, given that contradiction, he felt an independent lawyer should decide whether the province should take over the case and pay the cost. "If this matter is now going to go to the next stage, it's only appropriate that we apply the same test as we apply to every criminal case in the province of New Brunswick."
But Fearon is skeptical and worries that Toft, who is now 70 years old, will die before the allegations ever make it to court.
The former Kingsclear youth jail guard is living free in Edmonton after serving 13 years for sexually assaulting young boys in his care. He pleaded guilty to 34 counts of assault, but later admitted to abusing at least 200 young boys. Toft was never prosecuted for crimes against Fearon.
