OUR FIRST SPIN STORY - PLEASE COMMENT

Mr.Lord is so quick to hide behind the fact that a 5 year old referendum determined that 50% of this province chose to keep VLT's for(Entertainment)how about calling him to task on holding a referendum on smoking in public places and let the people of this province decide whether they think that would be entertaining or how about a referendum on whether or not people would think it is entertaining to smoke pot in this province or a referendum on whether or not the people of this province want a LNG plant here. And let's not forget that we only need 52% of the province to qualify for these referendums.Also this will give him the oppertunity to continue doing what he does best hide behind something or someone.

WE TOOK IT OUT!!!

After a few email exchange between me and WCIE. We remove the story from the blog. If this sounded like racist? It wasn't but let me tell you something right now! If in the future? You hear this story from the hospital? Well? You have heard it in the blog first!

CHARLES NEEDS HELP FOR KIDS WITH ADHD!!

Next week will be a busy period for Charles! I have to get ready to make a presentation in front of the Senate Committee in Moncton of the Irving Monopoly in this Province.

I also have to make a presentation in front of a group who’s job is to review the inclusion program < Education > in this Province!

I have a very important questions for you people who care about the Kids!

How should the kids with ADHD be treated in the school system????

This has nothing to do with Ritalin!

Do you have any suggestions of how the kids ADHD should be treated so they can learn in a better atmosphere???

I have a few suggestions of my own but what’s yours?

Please let me know!!!

An another issue? I was told the 10,000 kids around this province will find out Thursday morning if the Lord Government will do a study on Ritalin!

Will the drugging and killing of the children continue for years to come?

Will the Government pay attention to the petition with 10,000 signatures?

Who knows? My battle with the Government might come to an end on Jeudi!!!

Stay tune for Thursday! So stay tune!!!!


This is a picture of Paul Robichaud. Paul told me a few months ago- THANK GOD FOR MY MOTHER!!! I guess in his childhood years. He was all over the place! He was very hyper! The system wanted him on Ritalin but his mother wouldn't have nothing to do with the drug. Take a close look where he is today? He's the Minister of Transport in the Lord Government! He's a perfect example that kids with ADHD can succeed without taking Ritalin!!!



POLITICIAN WANT TO MEET JOANNE!!!!

I had a good chuckles a few minutes ago.

I asked a bureaucrat – Listen? If you wish me to remove you from your list? Just send me an email and I’ll keep only one email address.

He quickly replied - Can I send you both?...lol…


You see? I have three different accounts and another one at Google.

I have close to 1,000 names so therefore if you receive more than one email from me?

Just send me a note and I’ll delete you from the list! If you wish to be deleted totally off my list? Just send me a note and you’re hear no more from moi or should I say read no more from me!

A politician approached me this morning and he wants to meet the five months pregnant female!

I had a chat with someone from Family Services this morning and from what I understood? Sometime she says she’s pregnant and sometime she isn’t!

He told me that they have been dealing with the girl for the last 15 years!

Well? The question is this? Shouldn’t Family Services bring the girl to the hospital to find out if she’s pregnant or not????

Going by the pictures below? She sure look pregnant and I don’t really care about the girl but I do care for the unborn!

Lately, Bernard Lord have been comparing the Federal Liberals to the Provincial Liberals?

Myself, I always believe there were two different parties!

If you support the Provincial Liberals? Does it mean that you also have to support them Federally?

I don’t think so and I always found it strange that during a Provincial Convention from both parties? They always invite someone from the Federal Party to be a guest speaker!

Well? In my mind, they are two different parties!

Will the scandal at the Federal level hurt the Provincial Liberals? You tell me???

I had a good comment from a stranger last evening. She told me that she enjoys my updates or blog!

There’s only one problem? I don’t know the person but she knows me! I wonder why? As I said in the past, God knows who’s reading this site?

I was wrong!!!! I predicted 100 people will so up for the Protest at the Irving Refinery! Guess what? The number was 200 people!

Not bad but there’s one itty bitty problem?

The Irving Media never covered the protest! I wonder why? You tell me??

By the way? Can someone tell me who owns these papers who pictures I pasted on the website??? Please let me know???

I screwed up yesterday! I missed the student protest in front of the Legislature.

I was told that once again? The MLA’S from the opposition side showed up to meet the students but no one from the Lord Government walked outside to chat with the students?

Could this show our youths that the democratic system don’t work????

All elected officials especially from the Party in power should have went out and meet the students!

Come on now??? Give me a break!

I remember in 1977, there was a famillar work stoppage by the teachers at Mathieu Martin High School!

Hundreds of students were in the hallways and the Principal of the day Dollar LeBlanc told the students - It’s my duty to tell you the students to report to your classrooms!

I might add that he said this with a smile!

We shouted the man down and the work stoppage soon came to an end! I guess things haven’t change in close to 30 years!

I heard that many seniors are selling their prescription drug to survive. Can you imagine the decision? Food or your health!

Today’s youths are so drugged up with these prescription drugs that it’s totally out of control!

Ok..I wrote enough about nothing already and please excuse the grammar because I just the darn thing and send the update in the information Highway!!!

SPIN STORY... Lets make this work.

Lets try this out... Charles and I recieved this comment yesterday on the respective post. We both think it has merit and want to figure out a way to capitalize on its usefulness...

The anonymous comment in this post reminds me of this quote by Henry Ford (I think):

Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.
This is what we need to do...

Quoting Anonymous "Charles you got to figure out a way of bringing it across to the readers that they should take advantage of this terrific website and with It’s great array of topics and titles to make it their own, remind them the numbers don't lie your getting exceptional amounts of hits but if their going to take the time to type in the website please take a moment to leave a view or comment on any of the variety of topics it would be appreciated immensely as spin-offs from other comments is were response seem to give a wider view of the overall, maybe wcie to write it in a way that might generate better interest as the most varitized and modern maritime website which is improving everyday! Good Luck!! hey you must admit it has come along way!!"

We think that spinning some of the comments into fullposts that can be commented on is a great idea. We will try this out in a number of ways but one we would like to try out initially and see how it works is this...

With your comment that you leave on any post, include either at the end or beginning the words "SPIN STORY" in capitalized form and we will then create a post on the main page for people to comment freely and anonymously with. I think this best suits the format of this site.

As an example below is two comments including the same text, the first one is a general comment and the second is a comment but the emphasis or topic will be spun to the homepage in hopes that meaningful discussion can be create around it.

Post 1.
Charles what a great post today... I agree that the LNG deal should never have proceeded without the proper documentation and administrative protocols being followed. I feel that the deals inherent problems are from bureaucratic not elected official beginnings though.

Post 2.
SPIN STORY… Charles what a great post today... I agree that the LNG deal should never have proceeded without the proper documentation and administrative protocols being followed. I feel that the deals inherent problems are from bureaucratic not elected official beginnings though.


Hope its clear and helps out. Give it a try and see the feedback you can generate on a subject or topic that maybe we looked at but didn't discuss or realize the real value of. If this site is going to fleurish than we are going to need the help of New Brunswicks voice and that includes you. We look forward to your contributions...

WCIE

Hey??? Don’t forget, if you wish to make a comment of the LNG<> You can do so by phoning a local radio talk show in Saint John.

It’s called- CFBC Talk of the Town. The toll free number is 1-800-561-8255!!! You can phone between 9:00am till 11:00am during the week!!! Then of course, you can talk about many different issues that concern you.

Speaking of talk shows? The show – Voice of the Province <> the Premier who was the guest last week received 45 calls but only 12 got on!

That’s a lot of calls!!!!

On another issue, please have a quick look in the poor section of my blog site! You will see a picture of the inside of the Soup Kitchen!

I will never forget the time that the 6-49 was 20 million dollars.

I asked George Piers <> What will he do if he won the Lotto?

He walked away with his head down and whisper - The first thing that I would do is get a bigger kitchen!!!

Take a look at the picture and you tell me??? The people who go at this needy place have many problems and you can just imagine sitting in a small room elbow to elbow. Once in a while trouble would break loose but the staff would quickly come to the rescue to cool things down!

Ok…Lets go to our person of the week!


Citizen of the week- Mike Gaudet!

I know the week isn’t finish yet but this fine gesture will be a very hard act to follow!

I met Mike Gallant while I was protesting. After a few weeks, I’ve heard that there was a Farmer’s Market in this area. I was told that thousands of citizens go to that place every Saturday morning.

I said to myself - What a great way and place to collect signatures for my petition?

I won’t go into the details but I was told to go across the street to collect names.

Once there, I noticed a tell gentleman standing there. His name was Mike Gaudet and he didn’t seem to impress with me.

At first, I didn’t know what was going on but I would find out that Mike was a Panhandler. In his mind, I was interfering in his territory!!!!!

Someone would walked by and we both would confront the individual. I was confronting for signatures and he was asking for some spare changes. He let it known to me that this has been his area since 1984 and he sort of told me to go somewhere else.

Weeks went by and I would see Mike around but I didn’t really chat with the guy.

I made a little investigation and I was told that Mike could have been a huge star in baseball??? Many told me the same story. I guess something happen and he took a down turn for the worse.

I would soon find out that Mike reads the paper. Every instance I write a letter to the Editor? He would always give me a comment on the streets! I might add that he’s very educated on different issues.

So why did I voted this guy Citizen of the week you asks?

Well? Yesterday, while volunteering at the Soup Kitchen! I decided to go outside for a smoke. Mike walked by me while debating an issue with a friend.

Being Charles? The nosy person that I am? I had to ask what they were talking about?

You see? I do hear a lot of stories from the street people in that area? Which reminds me? No one from Family Services went over to chat with the pregnant girl yet! I wonder why?

Anyway? Mike told me he was panhandling in front of the CIBC Bank on Queen Street.

Someone walked by him and an envelope fell on the ground.

Mike picked it up and behold inside was - $450.00!!!!

He shouted at the guy who drop the money on the ground. The guy took the money and left! He never thanked the guy and didn’t even give Mike a few bucks!

My God? How can some people sleep at night?

During my protest, I learned there’s many ignorant people in this City!

Anyway? This is the reason that I wrote this little update because it stories like this that no one hears about!

Good work Mike!!! You did the proper action and once I see you on the streets asking the citizens for a little change? I will see you in a different way!

I hope many readers have a different attitude towards you also???

By the way? Just for the record? It wasn’t an easy task to have Mike picture taken with me. He trusted me and I do appreciate this!

Ok..I wrote too much already…Got to go at the Legislature.

The session opens at 1:00pm! Please excuse the style and grammar of this update because I just write the darn thing and send it along the information highway!

Don’t forget to tell everyone on your list about this blog site! It’s a great way for New Brunswick to share their views on different issue!

Bye bye

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS EMAIL?????

Wouldn't it be funny if you could be at the protest tomorrow in Saint John with a big sign with the blog address on it... That would be hilarious... Spread the word...

THE IRVINGS FIRED NEWSPAPER JOURNALIST WHO WROTE AGAINST LNG!!!

Remember the Here newspaper in Saint John???



It was a good little independent paper until the Irvings bought it last year!


"here" in the mddle


A reporter name Mike Parker was the journalist who wrote about the going ons within Common Council in Saint John!

His columns was direct and straight forward.

Last week, he wrote a story about the LNG issue. He was dead set against their decision.

Guess what? He was soon out of a job!

Josh Beuthel, my favourite political Cartoonist soon quit the Irvings staff afterwards!

Have we seen any of this in the Irving’s papers? Of course not!!!!

Thank God for CFBC < talk of the town > because we would had never heard anything about this issue!!!

I phoned the radio talk show this morning.

I told the audience - In my view, This is just a warning for our future Journalists who are being trained at Universite De Moncton and Saint Thomas of what could happen if they decide to write against the Irvings!

The Senate Committee will be in Moncton on April 21st to study this issue and I don’t have to hitch a ride to that meeting because someone told me they will drive me at that meeting!

Pretty nice eh? I am going to be straight forward and right to the point! This is hurting New Brunswickers BIG TIMES!!!!

As I told the audience this morning, it’s like Germany all over again. We don't go around and execute people but Hitler took control of the media to brainwash the Citizens in Germany. The same action is happening in New Brunswick!

But what I find very strange with the Mike Parker's issue?

I always believe that J.D. Irving and Irving Oil were totally different. I guess not?

If any Irving reporters crossed that thin line? They will be fired and since the Irvings owns all the newspapers in this province? They will not be able to find work!

Germany? You tell me?

The HERE paper has a open forum on the net and it used to be a place where anyone could write their views on different issues!

No more!

You have to give the Irving staff your real name and they will give you a password!

Only praising comments about the Irving Empire will be printed!

It’s all part of the Irving final solution!!!

Hiii Irving!!!!

By the way? If any of you wish to call the open talk show in Saint John???

The toll free number is 1-800-561-8255!

The show is on from 9:00am till 11:00am!!! It’s the only radio talk show in the whole province and I wonder why? We need talk shows to spread the word!

There’s going to be a protest at the entrance of the refinery Tuesday evening and I don’t believe that many people will show up for that one because Irving security has cameras all over the place. People are scare to speak out and that’s the way it is!

I say that close to a 100 people will be brave enough to show up!!!

On another emotional issue????

No one from the media or Family Services went and talk to the girl who’s five months pregnant!!!!

I wonder why? Is it because it’s Charles LeBlanc who spoke out on this issue????

The unborn should be protected but since the Irvings won’t allowed stories about the issue of the poor in their newspapers?

There’s not much we can do!

The Irvings through the media wants to tell the public that every thing is ok! Don’t worry!!! Be happy!!!!

I heard a good but sad story about the issue of Ritalin a couple of days ago but I can’t go publicly with this one yet! Wait till you hear what a individual told me about this issue? Stay tune!!!

Ok…I wrote this one very very very fast! So excuse the grammar and style of this update because I am in a hurry!!!
Bye bye

PRICE OF GAS AND NEWSPAPERS GO HAND IN HAND????

don't print this (but you can use it)

The price of a litre of gas went up to 99.9 on Sunday in Moncton only at Esso and Irving. It stayed at 92.9 everywhere else. Esso went back down by Tuesday but Irving kept theirs at 99.9. I know of other areas where the price went higher.

In Sackville, the price only went down this morning.



Except Irving of course.

Here's the interesting part: the Irving owned MONCTON Times &
Transcript had 2 frontpage stories (Tue. and Wed.) of the gas price hike but made
it sound like EVERYONE brought their price up even though ONLY IRVING had
it at 99.9.

After reading the articles you're left thinking that #1) the price of
gas is higher than ever everywhere and #2) it's only going to go higher.

Both are untrue.

Wishful thinking on behalf of Irvings maybe but not true!!

Don't get your news from Irving papers and be thankful they don't own
the internet! Yet.....

Heres a brief Intro about Charles

We have a had a few comments recently of why Charles has been interested in helping out the Children of the province and why he is so concerned with the issues in the province of New Brunswick. I hope this sheds some light....

A couple of days after I was laid off or fired from Gulf Operators (March 14, 2000), I made a complaint to the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission.

I would soon found out the process is a very slow one.

On February 7, 2001, I received a letter from the Director of the Human Rights Commission – Janet Cullinan informing me that the Commission considered my complaint at their meeting of February 1, 2001 and found it to be without merit.

My God, I was very upset because this told me that the Commission agreed with the Irving’s that people with ADHD are limited!

I phoned a member who was on the Commission - Dorothy Dearborn and she told me that they will once against study the issue of ADHD!

On April 12, 2001, I received another letter from Janet Cullinan informing me that the Commission once again reviewed my case at their meeting of March 22, 2001 and they upheld their previous decision.

I was very disappointed to see a group of bureaucrats agreeing with the Irving’s of the matter people with ADHD should be treated.

What could I do?

I don’t have any money and I heard that if you bring the Irving’s in court that the process would take years to reach a verdict.

I heard in the past from many parents who told me their kids were labeled in the school system and now this? The kids who have ADHD are labeled as stupid and idiots as a child. Now? We have this?

During the summer of the year 2001, I had this discriminatory verdict in my head. I went as far as protesting with a sign in front of the Irving Empire in Saint John New Brunswick but I soon found out that the Irving’s owns all the newspapers and they gave the orders to the editor not to print my letters in the voice of the people section of the papers.

Gulf Operators < Irving Company > had a very racist supervisor name Brian Grant. He was always going around saying - If I own this Empire there would be no Niggers or Frogs working here!!!

Now? I believe this is pure racism and the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission agreed that the Irvings could continue their witch hunt against the minorities in new brunswick.

Then again, the guy handling my case was Carl White a councillor from Saint John who later on I found out was a convicted thief who stole from the Irvings in the 1980s.

So God knows what was said behind close doors?

I was very upset and the battle for Justice would continue.

After a few weeks of protesting in front of the Irving Golden Ball, the Irving paper finally made a story about my protest and they wrote that I was fired twice! I said excuse me? I was laid off!

I was allowed to write a reprisal to the letters to the editor section. I told the readers of the reason I was protesting in front of the Irving Empire. I met a new girl and she encourage me to stop the protest so I gave in. Afterwards, I had trouble sleeping in the evenings. What could I do to battle the bureaucrats? In the spring of the year 2002, I told at my girl Pat that I would go to Fredericton and set up a tent in front of the Legislature. This was the only way that I knew how to battle the bureaucrats. Why not do it in their own turf?

Once in Fredericton, I went on a hunger strike and I did manage to let the public know that I was unhappy and the Government must study the issue of ADHD! Pat was very concerned and she phoned the local politicians at home. She droved them nuts but she cared about me and was afraid that I might get hurt.

Amanda Harpelle from the Premier’s office was the spokesperson and they were concerned because I was on a hunger strike. The protest lasted for 12 days but I didn’t like the matter that I was forced out of the Capital. I felt that I didn’t accomplice my goal in educating the public on the issues of ADHD and Ritalin. One week later, I met Bernard Lord in Saint John and he found me a little job that would keep me busy for 6 months.

I was laid off and when on U.I.C.! In the spring of the year 2003, I sent a email to the Premier’s office informing them my U.I.C. was soon coming to a end so therefore I needed some work! I was surprised the office totally ignored me. One bureaucrat asked me why the Government should find you some work.

I told the guy that the government through the Human Rights Commission said that I’m labeled as close to mental retardation. I wasn’t allowed to learn a trade, drive a vehicle and paid a lower wage < doing the same work > The Government will prove by finding me work. I can be a benefit to Society besides being a menace.

I wasn’t allowed to work because I have ADHD! I never received a reprisal from the Premier’s office so in the spring in the year 2003, I once again decided to pitch a tent in front of the Legislature. Little did anyone know including me that the protest would last for six long months!!!!

ALSO???? WHO OWNS THIS NEWSPAPER????? SOMEONE OUT THERE MUST KNOW!!!!


CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHO OWNS THIS PAPER????

OPEN CUBICLES POLICY MUST COME TO A STOP!!!!



IMPORTANT!!! This is not the area of the Welfare office in Frederiton. This is the Federal section. The system is still the same with their open cubicles policy! This picture was bought to my attention so therefore I acted on it!!! The guy took the picture but I wasn't around. I just wish to let the readers know about this issue!

RUN BERNARD RUN!!!!!...LOL...


You Know who this is??? This picture reminded me of my protest! The Premier saw me coming and quickly ran inside the Legislature!!!!...LOL On top of the stairsway is Chisholm Pothier. < Communication Aid to the Premier > There's two guys around the Premier - Chisholm and Tim Porter. Chisholm would let me chat with Bernard but Tim porter would always tell the Premier- Come on? Lets go!!!

WOULD ANYONE WISH TO COMMENT ON THIS ONE???

I really wish people would stop bashing the Irvings!



I used to work for them too & found all of them very easy to get along with & willing to work alongside you to get the job done. They spend long hours "out in the field" checking, loooking, suggesting etc. I know they control a loin this province, but where would this province be without them or the McCains? They both help people we have never heard of & you don't hear about it because they don't go about beating their own drum.
I worked there for ten years & have nothing but admiration for them.
Also many years ago, my father-in-law was in need of money. He approached K.C. Irving about buying some of his land (he didn't have much-3 acres). Mr. Irving bought 2 pieces, which could never have been used for anything, just to help him out. Ten years ago, they came to me and offered to sell it back (they knew I was interested). I got it for a very good price I think. My father-in-law was happy have the land back before he died.
These are business people after all, & they aren't in business to lose it all either. I have never known them to do a dirty deed to anyone. I don't understand why people are so against them. Can someone explain that to me please??

CHARLES IS IN A VERY AWKARD POSITION!!!

I opened a new email account because I have so many people on my list. For you people who received an email from oldmaison2@yahoo.ca?

Just send me a note and I’ll remove ya. I had a list from someone who sent me by mistakes all the names on his email list.

Just like a seagull? I goggled all the names. Many were not amuse but there’s no problem.

There’s no need to get excited? Just send me a note and you’re out of here! Hey? This Blog is beginning to make inroads.

Read this email that I just received this morning-




Hi Charles,

By the way, can you speak French ? If so, it would be interesting to have your Web page translated in both official languages of New Brunswick. I would also like to know more about you.


Heeeyyy???? Translate this blog site for all the angry Acadiens et Acadiennes for the northern part of the Province?

I believe this would be a great idea. What do you think??? I know for a true and certain fact that Ritalin is a huge major problem in the North Shore.

Anyway to spread the message!!!!!

This blog is getting a little out of control and it sure place Charles in a very AWKWARD position.

Last week, I heard many stories about T.J. Burke of the way he gave his speech!
Many MLA’S told me that he laughed at the politicians across the floor after he made a very good speech for a family who were evicted from their apartment.

I never saw it but someone showed me some pictures. Afterwards, a poor person told me that she seen the speech on television and she did mentioned the laughing part.

Another issue was Kelly Lambrock story of bringing down the Government. Yesterday a few politicians couldn’t understand the reason the media didn’t really look into this story?

I guess he promised to side with the Government while a Minister was absent because someone in her family is ill!

I remember a few days ago, I was asking the MLA’S for pictures but Kelly refuse.
Hey? Why take time for a picture with me if you can bring down the Government?????…lol…Lets not forget that he's one of a few who gave me an interview over the net. I like the guy and his style!

What I’m getting at is this?

I’m a blogger < many would call me other names???? > …lol… who’s fighting really hard to have the Government to do a study on the issue of Ritalin.

Mind you? I love a good story. These stories were told to me this week and in today’s papers? The Irving Reporters are writing about this issue.

Lets say that every instance I would hear a story and turn around ran to the public computer to write on a certain issue?

Wouldn’t I be making enemies from both side of the House???? Many people trust me with the views on issues. Hey? Off the record is definitely off the record!

I have enough enemies already and I’m just afraid that the Government will totally ignore the issue of Ritalin because I’m the guy who’s pushing the issue!

I said it in the past and I will say it again! This has nothing to do with me! It’s for the over 10,000 kids around this Province who are force to take this drug!

The poor 5 month pregnant woman is still sleeping outside and no one from Family Services have bothered to make an appearance.

Why is that now?

Is it because Charles wrote about it? Why do we bother to have Family Services in this Province?

How long would it take for someone from that Department to go out and chat with the girl?

I just don’t understand their reasoning? They tell me that there’s two sides to every story?

What’s the Government side? Should the unborn be protected? You tell me?

Ok…Excuse the grammar of this update because I’m late and my time is up at the Library! Have a good weekend. Bye bye!!!

SECOND P.C. MLA GRANTS CHARLES AN INTERVIEW!!!

Dear Mr Leblanc,

Sorry for the delay in my reply. Further to a conversation we had
this morning, I have enclosed the following answers to your questions,

The name of this P.C. MLA is Kirk MacDonald. Enjoy his answers!!!!!




1- Where are you from?


Beautiful downtown Stanley, deep in the hills of York County,in the heart of Mactaquac.


2- How long have you been an MLA?


I was nominated on Aug 21, 1998 and first elected on June 7, 1999. Soon I will have 6 years in, as MLA for the best riding in New Brunswick.


3- How old are ya????


I will turn 30, on Aug 7th 2005.


4- What are the most important issues in your riding?

Agriculture, Forestry, and Transportation are the areas that
Mactaquac residents ask me about most often.


5-Do you believe there's a problem with Ritalin in this Province? If the answer is yes? How do we confront this issue?


You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything.
Charles, I think you are approaching this matter in the right way. Keep
working with the ministers and standing up for what you believe in!


5a)In the past, I saw you making good long winded speech in the Legislature. Could it be possible that you have ADHD! You know? The centre of attention?..lol


Today you mentioned that I may have ADHD. This is news to me but I plan to have it checked out!


6)Do you believe there's a major problem with prescription drug on the streets?


Yes, I think it is a growing problem.


7-How would you handle the issue of Vlt's?

I don't care for VLT's and have never played one. While Government has done much to regulate gaming more can be done and I will continue to work with my fellow MLA's to further improve this situation.


8)Why don't Bernard Lord go out and face the protesters in front of the Legislature? Do you believe that Shawn Graham would be different?


If Shawn Graham lives a hundred years, he will never be 1/2 the leader that Bernard Lord is!


9)Do you think there will be a Provincial Election this year?

No!


10)What's your views on the Monopoly the Irvings have in the Newspapers business in this Province? Should New Brunswickers be concern?


As a Conservative, I bevieve in free enterprise. However, I also feel that competition is vital if our economy is to grow.


11)Are you going to re-offer?

Yes, if the good people of Mactaquac will have me.


12)Do you believe that the bureaucrats are running this province so therefore no political party can change the system. One reason would be that we only
have a population of 674,000 people? What do you think?

No Comment!

PREMIER BERNARD LORD HAD AN EASY RIDE!!!!

Yesterday was a very hectic day! Even for a person who suffers from ADHD < PROUD OF IT > it was very draining.

I met a guy and together we went around the City with a digital Camera! We must have taken close to 100 photos.

Pictures from the Premier of this Province to the poor homeless people on the streets!




These photos will appear in this blog during the next few weeks! We can’t paste all the photos at once because I have to write a comment under each one but keep an eye on this site for more news!

It’s not everyone who wanted their pictures taken with me. I wonder why?..lol…

While walking towards the Legislature, I notice T.J. Burke < Liberal MLA > coming out from the Legislature.

I told the photographer - I know T.J. is going to say no but out of politeness? I’ll ask the newly elected MLA for a picture?

As predicted T.J. denied my invitation but I didn’t really care anyway. It’s just for a souvenir.

T.J. hasn’t spoken to me since the time that I gave the guy a blast for distracting me while I was making a presentation to the Standing Committee.

Where’s the story?

Let me look if I can locate the darn update?

Here it is

Yesterday was the day of my presentation and I wasn’t impressed at all!

They transferred the room to the floor of the Legislature because they’re doing some fixing in the normal room!

This was the first time that I made a presentation to a Legislative Committee in 15 years.

I recalled giving a presentation for the need of a new Clean air act in 1991! The politicians listen to my little speech and as a matter of fact? Elvy Robichaud was in the opposition rank and I praised him because he fought for the New Brunswickers rights!

Look at him now? Today he’s the Minister and you know the rest…

I made my presentation about the need for a new clean air act and that was that!

This time around? I wasn’t nervous but it was different because they put you in the hallway and you cannot hear the person inside speaking before you!

During the old ways the people sat in the same room! I felt like someone waiting to go into a courtroom to hear my faith with a jury!

Once there? The Liberals were on my right and the P.C.’S on my left!

I began to speak and in the corner of my eye, I noticed T.J. Burke speaking in the ear of Mike Murphy.

Mike never said a word and T.J. just kept on yakking.

I must admit that this act really bothered me. The rest of the MLA’S listen closely but I couldn’t stop being distracted by T.J. whispering in Mike Murphy ear.

After 15 minutes, I told the newly elected MLA that he was bothering and distracting me???

He quickly answered- I know! I know it’s bugging ya! That’s the reason I’m doing it!!!

He looked up in the audience on many occasions to see if they were paying attention to what I was saying?

At the end, he did give me a comment and sort of said- We have known each other for over a year and we see you around the Legislature every day! He went on to give his own views on the dog issue!

I felt like he was telling the audience that I should be ignored because I’m not working and I hang around the Legislature.

My presentation came to an end and I was told by a few MLA’S that my presentation was good! I don't believe that I presented my facts in a good way because of the distraction! Hey? There's still the talk shows??

I believe they were just being polite but I quickly confronted T.J. Burke and told him that he should be taking his Ritalin!

I have since spoken to a few politicians about T.J. Burke attitude in the House and I guess that he always talk to people in his surrounding while the opposition gives out a speech!

I find this very very very ignorant!

I didn’t enjoy the way I made my presentation because I was distracted by this MLA?

In the past, I seen myself making a point in front of 1,000 people and they don’t bother me if people whispers to each other ears but in this case? It was right beside me!

There’s a place to joke around and play but the Legislature isn’t the place.

Students sits in the gallery and what do they see? A bunch of grown men speaking to each other while someone gives a speech!

If T.J. Burke wants some respect from his fellow MLA’S and the public?

He must first show respect to others!

No…I wasn’t nervous before my presentation but if I would have known T.J. Burke was going to act like this?

I would have to told the Chairman Jody Carr to put T.J. in his shoes right at the beginning!

That was the story and since I’m a fair minded individual?

Here was T.J.’s response-

Charles - you are unequivocally and undeniable falsifying what occurred yesterday. I spoke to Mr. Murphy during your interview only to clarify what you had said en francais. I did not have my
translation device on at that time. Also, you did not confront me about taking Ritalin. Since I do not require ritalin for any reason, medical or otherwise, I feel your suggestion that I take it is inflammatory and disrespectful to those who suffer from the medical diagnosis which requires the presecription. Certainly
Charles, respect is a two way street. I am more than disgusted at your false allegations and the way you chose to diseminate your one sided stories. I believe others are as well, that is why I have chosen to write back to you and defend not only my integrity and
respect for the legislature but the so many other individuals you so calously besmirch.


You know what? I’m the type who can dish it and also can take it but it’s not everyone who’s like me!

Of course, I bumped into A highly respected P.C. executive. Terry Andow and he also denied my request because he’s still upset of what I wrote about Bernard Lord staff denying me the right to call the Premier on a talk show a few weeks ago!

Hey? These people wishes to hold grudges? I really don’t care and will continue to speak out on issues that I don’t feel is right! C’est la vie!

WCIE wrote a piece on the pregnant girl yesterday with the pictures of evidence.

This morning, I was at the Cafeteria in the Legislature and I noticed Trevor Holder sitting down!

I asked Trevor if he saw the pictures of the pregnant woman on my blog site?

He told me that he didn’t!

Seconds later, a bureaucrat from Family Services quickly showed the pictures to the MLA and he added – There’s two side to every story?

Well? What’s the side of Family Services? How come they don’t go and chat with the girl? Doesn’t make any sense!

Ok..I was so exhausted last night that I didn’t bother phoning the talk show. I just laid back with a coffee and took notes of what issues were debated.

1-caller< Dalhousie > Nursing Home

2-Fredericton – Praise the Premier of the way she was treated in the hospital. She had Cancer and was taken care of after 7 months. Also the HST should be remove from her light bill and Gas is too high

3-Saint John- Nursing Home< Premier should join them for one day of work!

4-Campbellton- House should be able to be renovated? The Senior called office but never called hr back
5-Saint John -VLT’S by Tim Smith! Poor Tim, he called minutes before the break and read his letter that he sent to the premier. I did learn something? Bernard Lord reads his emails? He told the audience that he receives around 2,500 emails a day! Never once in his six years of being Premier have I had an email from the Premier. Frank McKenna used to reply to his emails all the time. But anyway, the premier told Tim after the break that VLT’S are here to stay because New Brunswickers voted to keep them!

6-Campbellton- Dialogises Machines for Kidneys.

7-Dalhousie- Home support workers for Seniors. Premier told the audience that he was going to follow up himself on that issue

8-Sussex Corner- Drug Program

9-Moncton- Environment < restaurant at parlee beach>

10-Grand Bay- Grade 11 student about Teacher’s strike

11- Bathurst- Home support Workers

12-Hillbororough- Not certain..lol..part time workers should get more money????


The Premier had an easy ride if you ask moi???? Mr. Volpe last week got slaughtered compare to the Premier and I wonder why? I predicted that he was going to receive many angry calls because he was on Rogers all week long telling the audience that he’ll be on Voice of the Province. I was 100% wrong on that one!!!

Charles 04_07_05 071


Yesterday, Mr.Volpe told me that he was going to appear on the French Talk show < Rogers >

I have a question? How come the French Talk Show isn’t showed in the Capital or Saint John?

I am certain that many Acadians would love to asked questions to the Finance Minister.

Ohhh??? By the way? The Lord Government almost fell yesterday and I should have known there was something going on because I asked Kelly Lambrock < MLA his interview with me is on this site > for a picture with me.

Anyway, I noticed that he had no time for a picture but he was all over the place. He walked in the Liberal building beside the Legislature, the Liberal building across the street and he even walked to the Legislature from behind the House.

He was all over the place and I wonder why?

Hours later, I found out the story. He was gathering all the Liberal MLA’s for a vote that could have bought down the Lord Government.

Here’s the story

Let's all work towards a greater good and produce a unified voice of the province.

Charles and I have been talking as to how best transform the current state of this site to something more useful and beneficial to the readers of this blog. We think we have a good idea...

We want to make this site more interactive and expand on its growing success by allowing the readers to create posts just as Charles does. I understand that many here are concerned not with everything Charles has to say as he contributes to many topics and issues but if you would like to have published a post that reflects your views and you believe it is suitable for this site then please by all means write, write and write. You can send any posts that you would like on this site to myself and Charles and we can work towards publishing them when you see fit.

I encourage all to comment as this site is not for Charles rather the concerns of individual New Brunswickers seeking to reveal the greatness and not; of this beautiful province. I have personally invited some current and past bloggers to contribute to unify the voice of many. Lets try and make this site get noticed and use this as a catalyst for reason and change in this province.

If you have any great ideas on how to spread the word or make this site more friendly please feel free to let us know.

Reagrds,
WCIE and Charles LeBlanc.

Everybody, I would like you to meet Joanne

Todays blog is all about Joanne. Charles just sent me these photo's. He apprently was just down at the soup kitchen to find out who has contacted her in regards to her current situation. You won't believe what happened...


Everybody meet Joanne


To our dismay, not only has noone from Family Service NB contacted her... The space she now sleeps in, as can be seen from the photo above has been sealed tight with bolts and screws. The sad thing is, is that her belongings are inside including medication that Joanne needs. She is now sleeping outside the kitchen on the steps under mounds of blankets to keep warm. When will it stop?


The Fredericton Community Soup Kitchen

You know, its funny how people react to situations and act when they shouldn't... Instead of repairing the board now that they realize she is living there to protect her from the elements, why not wait until she has gotten the needed help and then repair the stairs once she is not using it. She has been under there for 4 months and they only repair the stairs now that she has created some attention. I wish some people would think before they act.

Someone contacted family services last monday to bring this situation to their attention and they told the caller that since there was no child involved it really isn't their problem. Huh? I think sleeping with Rats and Mice in my opinion can't be good for the health of the mother and her unborn child. I hope they act quick because now she has no shelter either. Anyways, here is a picture of her pregnant belly...


Joanne is five months pregnant

WCIE
