YOU WON'T SEE THIS SITE TOO OFTEN?????

There’s one site in the Capital that always amazes me.

Take a look at this place.

Charles 04_11_05 014

It’s an antique shop and it’s located near the Soup Kitchen and the shelter.

I might add this is their next door neighbor.

I wrote a few months ago that I couldn’t believe there was only one worker working the midnight shift at this Irving gas station.

There’s many people on Dilaudid in this area and someone could do something stupid.

drug-addict

Thank God! Nothing has happen YET!!!

Going back to the old antique store?

Charles 04_11_05 014

I couldn’t believe many antiques all left on the balcony over night! < picture was taken in the winter >

All kinds of items for someone to grab!!!!

I’m certain that if this was in Saint John?

It would be gone in a matter of minutes?

Yes, I am truly amazes by this act of trust!

As for the Irvings?

Charles 04_07_05 080

They should hire at least two employees for the midnight shift.

Why wait till someone gets kill to act on an issue?

HAVING PRIDE IN OUR OWN LITTLE WAYS!!!!!

Flags? For some it’s an important issue but for others it’s a piece of rag flapping in the wind.

Myself, I always love my Acadian flag.

P1010008


As a matter of fact, this issue was one of my first letter to the editor in the 70s.

I wrote a letter to then Premier Richard Hatfield asking the Premier to fly the Acadian flag on top of the Legislature with the Union Jack.

Richardhatfield

The C.O.R. Party came in the early 90s and demanded that the Government of the day remove the Acadian Flag at the Legislature.

P1010017

I was so upset that I disrupted the C.O.R. General meeting in Saint John. < It made National headlines >

These days, the Anglo Society want each City in New Brunswick to fly their unique flag during a week in September.

P1010007

It got so bad that a confrontation happened in the Capital on August 15th which the President of the Anglo Society was charge with assault. < foolish charge >

During my protest, the Union Jack was flying on one hock only.< look like a pirate flag > It flew like this for 5 days.

Myself and Matthew Glenn stood together with a blowhorn demanding the Government to fix the British Flag.

Once a flag is damage by the heavy winds, I would remind the staff at the Legislature to install a new one.

I would always look at the Courtesy pole in front of the Legislature to see which flag is flying.

In past practice, they flew the Union Jack at half mast on Remembrance Day but I changed all this by suggesting the Canadian flag should be there.

canada_flag

I might add they agreed with my suggestion.

Last spring while in Saint John for a visit.

I noticed the Canadian flag flying while it was half ripped apart.

After bloggling the story, days later a new flag was flying at the French Fort.

d`1

The huge Beaverbrook Hotel in the Capital didn’t fly the Canadian flag for a few days and it looked empty.

d5

If there’s still no flag in a few days, I will make a complaint to the staff.

High buildings in different Cites have a responsibility to maintain their flags.

a1

There’s nothing uglier than a ripped or damage flag on top of a building.

Yes, we all have our own little pride about different flags in our Country and I believe this is a good thing.

What’s your favorite flag?

SAINT JOHN HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR BRIDGES!!!!

Hi Charles

How many bridges do they have in Fredericton?

In Saint John we have one little bridge (Reversing Falls) that is a way to get from West Saint John to the Northend.

S1

Then we have the Harbour Bridge which connects the Westside to the uptown area and north. We have to pay a toll of 25 cents or 15 cents if you purchase tokens.

S4
S3

We have been paying for a bridge that they keep borrowing money from or probably the money just never went to paying for the bridge.

S2

This loan should be written off but for some reason it won't happen.

Westsiders have never been given respect as far as businesses developing in our area.

If they put a toll at the beginning of the off ramp of the McKay Highway coming into the city then we could say we are treated fairly.

It angers me that our Mayor wants us to keep paying, paying and paying.

a700

All citizens should be treated with respect.

They could take the tolls off when one bridge is under repair but no they are so greedy that the vehicles have to idle burning fuel for 20 to 30 mintes at peak times.

The cost and pollution is too much.

Saint John is the only Bridge in NB that has a toll. ( or am I wrong?)

We are also the only area with a Mayor that gives millions away just to turn around make the little guy pay forever.

norm

Give the citizens of Saint John respect.

This bridge get us from one side to the other nothing special but a make work project- a complete waste of taxpayers money.

Please I want to know more information about the Fredericton bridges.

Thankyou.

There's three bridge in the Capital.

Princess Maggaret Bridge

S4

and the Westmorland Bridge

S5
S7

There's also the walking trial bridge. < one of the most beautiful site I ever seen >

NEW BRUNSWICK AND CANADA ARE KILLING OUR CHILDREN????

ADHD


Thanks for posting the information. It is strange now more and more people
are exposing the side effects of these dangerous drugs children are
being given Health Canada comes up with they will check out the data on the
research done by these pharma companies who make the drug.

We know that Health Canada has to ask permission from the drug companies to print
the "bad results" and most of the time they say no, so how can they check
out the suicidial thoughts and deaths and the real results when they were
not allowed to publish them.

PLUS we also know that our governments both provincial and federal have not been reading the FDA warnings to closely.

They have only been out since early this regarding Ritalin etc. Why is it
Canada can't just say lets be first and get these drugs out of the hands of
kids and find the real reason for all of this "behaviour" problem.

I don't know a soul who doesn't fall into the critia of ADD or ADHD, everyone
of us, loses their thoughts espically when they are listening something that
is boring.

Moves around, who doesn't how many times have you sat and listened to someone who is putting you to sleep and your suddenly realize your legs are going to sleep, then your fingers need to move, we all do this sort of thing.

With children many can't read, or have had no food trouble at home or heaven help us has a true medical problem like allergies, liver or heart disease, how about hypolgycemia over weight, it would be to much for psychs to actually think maybe the child needs a full medical check up.

The teachers are not doctors but are acting like them. Sorry I am getting so fed
up with the slowness of our Health Canada.

How many children have to be drugged and how have to die or try to commit suicide or become violent forsomeone in the government to say..."Wait a minute CCHR has a point
here, these drugs are dangerous...."
