I quickly ran over and was met by two Fredericton Police officers. < They were nice >
Anyway? I guess the propose plans for New Brunswick for going forward was to be announce at a News Conference and it was open to the Public.
The Liberals quickly stop the public in attending the news conference.
NOT EVEN BLOGGERS!!!
I guess only the Irvings supporters were allowed inside.
MONDAY action against Self Sufficiency Task Force
*Please pass the word!
The Liberal government's sneaky Self-Sufficiency Task Force will
release their final report around 10am on Monday in Room G12,
Centennial Building, Fredericton. The public is allowed in.
ACTION PLAN:
Meet at 10am in the lobby of the Centenniel building. Be prepared to
go in at 10:30am. We want a decent
sized group of people to go inside to challenge the SSTF agenda. Ask
questions, interject on their presentation, make a scene if kicked
out. If there are enough people, there should be a group outside (a
rally) to draw attention to the scene on the inside, hand out
leafelets (which will be avaialble at the
event) and invite other people to go inside or join the gathering on
the outside.
CONTEXT
We REALLY need a lot of people to show up & create a presence/scene
inside and outside. The SSTF might as well be called the "Atlantica
Task Force" because it fits right into that agenda. We need to ask
hard questions & interrupt their presentation of "self-sufficiency"
as vastly increasing unsustainable
forest harvesting, increasing the development of nuclear power and
more dirty energy in general to
export to the U.S., megahighways to feed U.S. consumption, inviting
in big companies "not prepared
to locate overseas" (i.e. seeking cheap wages), etc. It is very
important that the incredible flaws in the
SSTF's logic and their whole attempt to present their version of
self-sufficiency as if decided upon
democratically are exposed in front of the media and the public in
general. There is a very real danger is
that the Liberal government will push through the "self sufficiency"
agenda while claiming there is
public support for it.

Charles the Blogger? Ha what a joke, its more like Charles the Protester. But what to protest you ask? Well Charles will protest anything to get attention.
I bet you don't even know what the SSTF recommended and you protest it just because it might get attention. You said it yourself, once you heard there was a protest you ran over.
Hey Bonehead!!!! Go read an Irving paper somewhere....
:P
What could you possibly have against NB being self sufficient? I can see protesting that this is just lip service for the Liberal party, but in the end this is just a report containing recommendations. To protest before you actually hear the recommendations is proof enough of Anon's comment above.
Me the Bonehead? I think not. Hey I already read the Irving paper and I enjoyed it. Nice non-bias stories that give all the information not just a one line title.
Nice to see you use insults, Oh well c'est la vie.
Stay Tuned!
I wouldn't let a bunch of people who in their own words were hell-bent on making a scene in either. These people are trouble-makers not legitimate protestors. It's about time this city started calling them what they are, revolutionists who want society to fall.
What is the difference between a trouble maker and a protestor? If they weren't going to let the public in, just don't have the public in. Once you open it to the public, well, like it or not, these people are the public. They have as much right to be there as anybody else and to speak their piece.
The issue is not the task force recommendations, it is the right of people who disagree with those recommendations to speak out publicly. As for Charles, he's a blogger and when he heard there was a story then he ran over to it.
The Irving rags are garbage. The editorial in todays Times and Transcript was the spelling of 'incandescant'. Wow, what hard hitting journalism!
well a lot of people are protesting but are they putting forward any credible alternatives which will improve the economy of NB? No. Are any of these people even from NB?
Protesting is fine but these folks in their announcement that Charles has copied said they wanted to create a scene. That doesn't sound like folks who want a dialogue.
They don't want dialogue, Spinks. Guess who's front and centre with this group? Yep, professional protester Asaf Rashid. Just looking for a spotlight for his anti-business, anarchist agenda.
Your saying that the province wants a dialogue? Then why shut them out, why have an 'announcement'. An announcement is not a dialogue. Creating a scene means making sure the media knows there is a protest, nobody said anything about doing anything illegal.
So, just how many did show up? It was a pretty nice day after all. 25?...50?...100?...5? Maybe they just couldn't get the time off from work.
I did notice a few spelling mistakes in the action plan though. Someone typed "Ask questions, interject on their presentation, make a scene if kicked out
out." When surely it was to read "shout down, interrupt enough so we can make a scene when kicked out."
After all hearing what was said might lead to actually understanding, we couldn't have that now could we.
Thanks a lot that's exactly all I intend to do Cooler heads prevails.
The report is clearly not designed for self sufficiency but sellout. Protesting at least makes it look like some New Brunswickers have balls and wont stand for it.
well a lot of people are protesting but are they putting forward any credible alternatives which will improve the economy of NB? No. Are any of these people even from NB?

The fact is you will not find a better place to live in canada then N.B,which apparently pisses off the liberals,who's only interest is trying to impress the feds because it is good for their resume.Record shows that NB only grows under conservatives.If you want to live like toronto,go there.
Time off work? You have to have a job to get time off.
