ROGERS TELEVISION HAS JOIN THE IRVINGS IN DENYING NEW BRUNSWICKERS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK!!!!!

Rogers Telvision has sunk to a new low in New brunswick!!!!

rogers

It all started on Thursday evening when Rogers television had the issue of Autism on the program.

The new host is Rich Crosby.

rich web

He took the place of Dennis Melanson.

Dennis was there for a few years and I would always call in to get the ball rolling and it was a great way to share views with New Brunswick.

melonson_lrg

I would always praised these open talk shows!

One minute before I was going to go on the air?

The producer cut in and in a very polite way told me that Crosby got the orders from someone not to take my call.

rich web

I was very surprise that a young host would demand that certain callers are not allowed on the air?????

I told the producer to let me know what’s going on?

I won’t go publicly with this one but that all change this evening on Voice of the Province.

VOP%20Web

I called from a pay phone and the woman told me to leave a message on a voice mail.
They call it the viewers hotline.

I quickly replied - Yeahhh right!!!! But I soon found out that she was serious!!!!

She explained to me that they are not capable of transferring calls from a payphone.

Only from a resident phone.

No problem, I walked down the hallway and used someone else phone.

I called and left my number but the guy taking the calls wouldn’t put me on the air!

Phil Vincent 222x170_3

So Rogers has joined the Irvings of denying freedom of speech to New Brunswickers????

I have been calling these talk shows for years and never cross that line.

I always behave.

I remember last year when Bernard Lord was on?

They wouldn’t let me question the Premier.

Charles 04_07_05 071

Why is that now?

Who’s giving the orders to Rogers not to accept my calls.

Did Rich Crosby accept a bride from the Irvings?

rich web

Who knows? You tell me????

Many don’t like this new guy < Rich Crosby > and I heard many sad stories about the new host on Rogers and I guess that from what I’m hearing? It’s all true!

Well? As far as I’m concern?

It’s Rogers lost and not mine but I will let anyone who cross my path including all the Ministers of the Lord Government that they must listen to the public concerns!

Germany all over again???

You tell me????

I’ll tell you one thing!

I will never lower myself to the standards of Rogers and the Irvings!!!

jd
rogers

Shame on them but this issue is not done yet!

L-pup

Not from a long shot!!!!!

Freedom of speech must remain alive in New Brunswick!

It was bad enough that we’re not allowed to write letters to the Editor but now this? Shame…Shame,,,Shame….as I said last winter---- Hiiiiiiiii Lord!!!!!!

By the way? The issue that I wanted to bring up with the Minister of Education was why are we giving our kids chocolate milk in the classrooms????

beverage-chocolate-milk
madodube-small

Maybe she gave the orders? Who knows but one thing is certain!

I will confront the Minister face to face.

I always like her and I was going to praise her but who knows what was said in the studio of Rogers?

What next? Will these same people tell CFBC talk of the town that Charles is not allowed on the air???? Once Rick Mantle leaves?

rick2

Maybe one day I'll come home and my computer will be in the garbage????

Saint John June 04-05 003

It could be very well possible! Nothing surprise me no more of the happening in this Province?

The Irvings and the staff at Rogers are acting like this guy!!!!!

SCOC dismisses Irving tax case
Last updated Oct 27 2005 12:55 PM ADT

Irving Oil has lost its bid to have its property taxes reduced at its Saint John oil refinery.


Irving Oil has been fighting to have $20 million worth of oil tanks at the refinery classified as manufacturing equipment and declared tax free, but the Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed Irving's request for a hearing on the matter.

Irving originally won the tax case at trial, but that decision was overturned by the New Brunswick Court of Appeal last March. The Supreme Court has now ruled the Appeal Court decision should stand, meaning Irving is not entitled to a tax reduction.

Irving Oil had been fighting for years to have taxes on its oil refinery cut by about 25 per cent. At issue is a section of the property that holds dozens of huge oil tanks. The company pays about $4 million a year in property taxes, with about a million in taxes coming from the oil tanks.

The taxes are split between the province and City of Saint John.

Irving Oil claims the tanks shouldn't be taxed at all. It wants a reduction and would like the provincial government to refund taxes paid between 2001 and 2004.

Saint John Lawyer John Barry says oil storage tanks are normally subject to property tax in New Brunswick but manufacturing equipment is not. "The issue of the tanks is whether they're part of the manufacturing process or whether they're used for storage."

In Irving's case, the company says although the oil tanks store finished petroleum products, those products have to be constantly stirred, which makes the tanks part of the manufacturing process and should be tax free.

Barry does not represent either party in the dispute, but says the case is simple. "If they're part of the manufacturing process, they fall under machinery and they're exempt and not subject to property tax assesment. If they're storage tanks, they do fall under property tax assesment."

Irving Oil's property taxes are a sensitive issue in Saint John. Protests broke out on the streets and inside Saint John council chambers earlier this year after Irving Oil received a $100 million property tax cut, spread over 25 years, on a planned Liquified Natural Gas terminal in the city.

Saint John City Councillor Glen Tait says Irving Oil is well within its rights to fight property taxes at the refinery too but is afraid the public isn't in the mood to hear about it. "This certainly will revitalize the whole issue and bring it to the surface again, and there will be discussion on that whole issue again...here we are –another tax break for the Irvings."

ARE THE IRVINGS BEHIND MICHELLE HOOTEN?????

Tuesday - Was the province right to put an autistic boy in the Mirimichi Youth Jail? Rich will be joined by Harold Doherty of the New Brunswick Autism Society to talk about autism in New Brunswick, and the recent story from Mirimichi.

SHOULD MICHELLE HOOTON RESIGN HER SEAT????

A couple of days ago, I asked the question but no one gave me an answer.

hooton2

Well? Now I know the answer.


Michelle Hooten never resign her seat from Council to run as an MLA!

Should this be allowed?

Should she be allowed to grandstand in the Council chambers while she runs for Provincial office?

We know that Norm MacFarlane was a former Minister of the Lord Government but this is not fair for the other candidates.

norm

I didn’t know this was allowed in Canada?

I respect an individual who resigns their post to run for public office but in this case?

She has absolutely nothing to lose!!!

What do you think?

Am I wrong on this issue?

I might add that they even stop Ivan Court from speaking last night in the chambers. Orders from the Irvings? You tell moi???...lol

NEW BRUNSWICK IS ON FIRE???????

ONE OF MY HEROES HAS DIED!!!!!

I would mentioned her name often during a confrontation with the bureaucrats or the law!!! The system says this is the way it's going to be but once in a while someone like Rosa will say - NO!!!!!

Civil rights icon Rosa Parks dies at 92


Monday, October 24, 2005; Posted: 11:32 p.m. EDT (03:32 GMT)

(CNN) -- Rosa Parks, whose act of civil disobedience in 1955 inspired the modern civil rights movement, died Monday in Detroit, Michigan. She was 92.

Parks' moment in history began in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama.

Her arrest triggered a 381-day boycott of the bus system by blacks that was organized by a young Baptist minister, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (See video on an activist's life and times -- 2:52)

The boycott led to a court ruling desegregating public transportation in Montgomery, but it wasn't until the 1964 Civil Rights Act that all public accommodations nationwide were desegregated.

Parks' act of defiance came one year after the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision that led to the end of racial segregation in public schools.

She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1999.

Parks, facing regular threats and having lost her job, moved from Alabama to Detroit, Michigan, in 1957 and later joined the staff of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat.

Conyers, who first met Parks during the early days of the civil rights struggle, recalled Monday that she worked on his original congressional staff when he first was elected to the House of Representatives in 1964.

"I think that she, as the mother of the new civil rights movement, has left an impact not just on the nation, but on the world," he told CNN in a telephone interview. "She was a real apostle of the nonviolence movement."

He remembered her as someone who never raised her voice -- an eloquent voice of the civil rights movement.

"You treated her with deference because she was so quiet, so serene -- just a very special person," he said, adding that "there was only one" Rosa Parks.

Gregory Reed, a longtime friend and attorney, said Parks died between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. of natural causes. He called Parks "a lady of great courage."

Parks was the subject of the documentary "Mighty Times: The Legacy of Rosa Parks," which received a 2002 Oscar nomination for best documentary short.

In April, Parks and rap duo OutKast settled a lawsuit over the use of her name on a CD released in 1998. (Full story)
Bus boycott

She was born Rosa Louise McCauley in Tuskegee, Alabama, on February 4, 1913. Her marriage to Raymond Parks lasted from 1932 until his death in 1977.

Before her arrest in 1955, Parks was active in the voter registration movement and with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, where she also worked as a secretary in 1943.

At the time of her arrest, Parks was on her way home from work as a seamstress.

The 42-year-old woman took a seat in the front of the black section of a city bus in Montgomery. The bus filled up and the bus driver demanded that she move so a white male passenger could have her seat.

But Parks refused to give up her seat, and police arrested her. Four days later, Parks was convicted of disorderly conduct and fined $14.

That same day, a group of blacks founded the Montgomery Improvement Association and named King, the young pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, as its leader, and the bus boycott began.

For the next 381 days, blacks -- who according to Time magazine had comprised two-thirds of Montgomery bus riders -- boycotted public transportation to protest Parks' arrest and in turn the city's Jim Crow segregation laws.

The mass movement marked one of the largest and most successful challenges of segregation and helped catapult King to the forefront of the civil rights movement.

The boycott ended on November 13, 1956, after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that Montgomery's segregated bus service was unconstitutional.

ABEL IS TRULY ABLE!!!!

Here's a comment about Saint John MLA Abel LeBlanc!!

b6


There is one exception to this story and I believe that to be Able LeBlanc. For years he fought in the trenches for organized labour and continues to do so today as an elected representative in Fredericton. There are many who can attest to his dogged determination in battles with the Workplace Health and Safety Commission, whether one was in a union or not. One simply had to ask. His door was and is always open.
I don't believe Mr.Graham really knew who he was inviting on board the good ship Liberal when he dropped the gangway for Able but I bet he wishes Able was walking the plank right now! LOL.

Able knows who sent him and why he was sent to Fredericton. To fight for Saint John and all the people, small and big.

Too bad we don't have a clone of Able, to run in Saint John Harbour!
Things might actually get done.

This week will be an very interesting week for this blogger.

Have you noticed that I haven’t written any critical blogs about the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission during these pass few months???


Well, I filled in two complaints with the Commission and I believe they are good ones but I also had the same feeling 4 years ago.

We all know what happen there.

I’m just taking it day by day.

My first case is boarders and roomers rights.

The Fredericton police Department send me to their office.

During the weekend, I met the these two individuals on the streets.

P1010059

I’m trying to encourage them to fill in a complaint with the Commission.

Especially this guy who was force to sh@t in a garbage bag.

The caretaker took his money. < $300.00 > and told him that he wasn’t allowed to use the washroom.

Of course, the Rentalman told me that boarders and roomers in this Province have no rights whatsoever.

z6

This is the reason that Brad Green must make some changes in the tenants and Landlord act as soon as possible.

poor1

The act is the worst in Canada.

What will the Human Rights Commission say? Will they come out and say that they agree that roomers and boarders should be ignored???

CHARLES10000

Don’t worry the readers in this blog will be the first one to know.

The other case is a very emotional one.

I wrote a complaint with well over 2,000 words and it’s killing me not be able to blog it!!!! Especially since me mother is from Scotland. It's driving me crazy not to write about it!!

simsp

I already told a few people < MLA’S, media and bureaucrats > of the complaint and they shook their heads in disbelief.

Wait till you read this one???

All I will say that it has to do with these two Quebecers who run the Legislature in Fredericton.

tentbussieres

I believe they crossed the line big times but we will let the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission decide on this issue.

I remember one day last year.

I bumped into Christian Whalen < Lawyer for the Commission >

christian

He attended a disability Awareness ceremony.

I tapped him on the shoulder and asked him what was he doing here???

He told me that he represented the Commission.

I reminded the lawyer that the lawyer ordered the Government that people with ADHD are close to mental retardation so therefore he shouldn’t here!

He quickly fought back - Well. That’s what you say and turned his back on me.

Boy? That was a mistake!!!

I raised my voice and told the lawyer to never turn his back on me.

The people in the area knew that I was very upset!

Christian said - I’m praying Charles that the day will arrive that you will tapped us on the shoulder and say- You people do good work!

I told the lawyer that I don’t see this happening in the near future and the conversation came to a close.

Well? Lets see if my attitude will change after this week?

These are very good cases and the convicted thief Carl White has nothing to do with this one.

This is the reason that I love to be in the Capital because all the General are in this City! Lets see what that will say when I walk into their building this week?

There’s never a dull moment in the Capital!!!!
