CBC - DO YOU MISS IT????? < OVER 40 DAYS LOCKED OUT!!!! >

I feel this issue has been forgotten by the public so lets asks the question?




Do you miss CBC Radio or CBC Television?

I asked the questions on a few occasions since the locked out began over 40 days ago.

I get the feeling that not too many people missed it.

Myself, I am a news freak and I always watch the news at 6:00pm! I changed the channel from ATV to Global news.




I forgot about CBC! Maybe it’s because I have other things on my mind?

Who knows?

Maybe as many other issues in life, I adjusted to a world without necessities? So maybe this is what's happening in this case?

One day, I noticed this guy communicating through the windows in the media building next to the Legislature.




Hey? I'm certain they wish to return to work!!!!

One person told me < female > that she truly missed CBC!

I might add the individual lives in na na land. She lives in the country < Queenstown > and I believe that CBC radio is the only connection in the rural areas.

Speaking of nowhere land?

I heard from many Acadians that they truly missed CBC in the north Shore.

This include Radio and Television.

I wanted to find out what was going on in this locked out?

I walked up Regent Street and met the protesters a couple of weeks ago.

I stayed with one of them for around 25 minutes and walked the picket line while asking questions.

The bottom line in this dispute is seniority.

Did you know the youngest worker who has seniority is 42 years old?

These workers are fighting for our future generations.



Management wish to hire workers by contract!

My God? Isn’t this Irving’s style? They better get rid of this picture?



You see? Management want to hire someone for a six month to a one year contract.

Do you know what this means?

Backstabbers and rats will be granted an extension to their contract.

In 20 years from now? There would be no seniority therefore no unions.

It would be a terrible atmosphere to work in!

It would be like working for the Irvings!




I’m surprised this locked out isn’t over yet because there seem to be MP’S stopping by in support of the workers.





So what do you think?

Do you miss CBC?

I truly miss people like this guy.



but most definetely not this guy on the left -




These days the workers are blogglers!!! Question? By being Blogglers? Did they increase or lowered their standards of Journalism? I say they climbed the ladder!!!!...lol

CHINA - SO? THERE'S HUMAN RIGHTS IN CHINA EH????

Chinese Govt. Tightens Its Grip on Online News
By The Associated Press
BEIJING -- China said today it is imposing new regulations to control content on its news Web sites and will allow the posting of only "healthy and civilized" news.

The move is part of China's ongoing efforts to police the country's 100-million Internet population. Only the United States, with 135 million users, has more.

The new rules take effect immediately and will "standardize the management of news and information" in the country, the official Xinhua News Agency said today.

Sites should only post news on current events and politics, according to the new regulations issued by the Ministry of Information Industry and China's cabinet, the State Council. The subjects that would be acceptable under those categories was not clear.

Only "healthy and civilized news and information that is beneficial to the improvement of the quality of the nation, beneficial to its economic development and conducive to social progress" will be allowed, Xinhua said.

"The sites are prohibited from spreading news and information that goes against state security and public interest," it added.

While the communist government encourages Internet use for education and business, it also blocks material it deems subversive or pornographic. Online dissidents who post items critical of the government, or those expressing opinions in chatrooms, are regularly arrested and charged under vaguely worded state security laws.

Earlier this month, a French media watchdog group said e-mail account information provided by Internet powerhouse Yahoo Inc. helped lead to the conviction and 10-year prison sentence of a Chinese journalist who had written about media restrictions in an e-mail.

As part of the wider effort to curb potential dissent, the government has also closed thousands of cybercafes -- the main entry to the Web for many Chinese unable to afford a computer at home.

Authorities in Shanghai have installed surveillance cameras and begun requiring visitors to Internet cafes to register with their official identity cards.

The government also recently threatened to shut down unregistered Web sites and blogs, the online diaries in which users post their thoughts for others to read.

A TRIBUTE TO KIM SOMERVILLE FROM ARTIST WCIE!!!!!

BERNARD LORD - BLOGGLERS BEWARE!!!!!

KIM SOMERVILLE - MY PERSON OF THE WEEK!!!!!!

Oppsss I almost forgot my person of the week.




I’m still having a difficult time choosing one but I found one!!!!

My person of the week is Kim Somerville Manager of the Back Door Bar on Rothesay Avenue.





A few weeks ago, she announced that the VLT’S were out the door.



The reason she gave was that too many families were going through a lot of hardship because of these dreadful machines.



The Lord Government don’t care so what can we do?



Bernard Lord told the audience on Voice of the Province last week that he told Mr.Volpe to find 20 million dollars.



Where is he going to find the extra money?

I heard they might installed VLT’s right at the bar.

You won’t have to get up your seat? You will see the VLT’S on the counter of the bar.

That’s what they do in Las Vegas!

Sad….it’s over in this Province until the Lord Government are remove from office.




In the meantime, people like Kim Somerville should be congratulated for a job very well done.

They took the time and taught of the families!!!!



Good work Kim!!!!

ROGERS TELEVISION TO TELEVISE THE WHOLE SESSION AT THE NEW BRUNSWICK LEGISLATURE!!!!

Many people were disgusted of the fact that Rogers only televised question period in the Legislature during the past two years.

I was told that Rogers will cover the whole session from now on.

This is VERY good for New Brunswickers and the MLA’S in the House especially the ones in the opposition.

I remember the LNG debate.



Roly McIntyre, Abel LeBlanc and Stuart Jamieson spoke for hours against the LNG deal.





I walked into the Hansard office and asked for the transcript of the debate?

They told me that it would take months to gather all the information.

I was surprised, I received all the details of the debate in a matter of days.

They took into consideration that there’s no way in the world that the Irvings newspapers will print all the details and my blog was the only way for the public to know what was said.

You can read the debate attarget="_blank">Charles

Many MLA’S feels it’s very important to show the whole session in the Legislature so the voters in their riding know they are indeed fighting for the voters.



So? I say to Rogers - Good work!!!!

Now New Brunswickers will be able to see their MLA’S in action!!!!

Speaking of Rogers? I received this email this morning.

Charles,

here is what my son found this morning

BERNARD LORD - QUEBECERS HAVE THE SAME MENTALITY??????

BERNARD LORD AND HIS MINISTERS!!!!! < GO GET THOSE BLOGGLERS!!!!! >

NEW BRUNSWICK LEGISLATURE - FREDERICTON IS CHANGING INTO FORT KNOX?????

I confronted more MLA’S yesterday on the issue of Boarders and roomers rights.

I bumped into Jody Carr < P.C. MLA > and he asked me what are the other Provinces doing about this issue?



He’s going to find out for me.

I also saw Kelly Lambrock. < LIBERAL MLA > He told me that it was funny that I would mention roomers because as a student he used to fight for the same issue but he totally forgot about it!



Sounds interesting??? Lets see what’s going to happen?

Minutes later, I bumped into Denis Landry and he agreed that the Government should look into it! Denis is on the right!



Someone mentioned if I chatted with Bard Green of this issue?

I told the individual that we’re talking about a Minister in the Lord Government but for the record?

I confronted Mr.Green on three different occasions.


Ok…going to the blog in hand!!!!!!!!

New Brunswick are getting with the times but is this a good or bad idea????

I remember when I was protesting in the summer of 2002. I was able to go right in the Premier’s office but no more.

They installed these security doors downstairs.



I remember one day when the Legislature was open for business.

I walked passed by a Commissionaire and signed the book.



As a matter of fact, I was with WCIE.

We were walking near the Library when suddenly a Commissionaire shouted in front of everyone - CHARLIE…CHARLIE…CHARLIE???? WHAT’S IN YOUR BACK POCKET????



I didn’t appreciate being degraded in front of everyone so I closely grabbed my comb and took it out and showed it to the Commissionaire.

My God? It was terrible. They must believe that I’m a nut???? We all know that I am!!!..lol…but I never cross that thin line!

We used to use the washrooms upstairs but no more.

Maybe I droved them nuts when the P.C. Mla’s used the washrooms and they saw me inside.

There’s cameras all over the place.



They can focus real close.

Just last year, they added huge spotlights on the front walls of the Legislature.

I’m glad these lights weren’t there when I was protesting.

There’s nothing more beautiful then seeing the Dome of the Legislature at night.



I know because it was my home for six months.



It’s beautiful but those huge spotlights took the beauty away.

Take a look at Assemblee Nationale in Quebec?

Look at this picture?



How come we can’t have the same beautiful atmosphere in New Brunswick?

Our Legislature is beautiful and we should make certain it look nice in the evening.

Of course, the word – MONEY would come into action.

Even the building of the New Brunswick Human Rights are security lock!




What are they worried about anyway?

I walked into Andy Scott’s office and it looks like a doctor’s office.





I told the staff that they should at lease have the water cooler outside in the waiting room and place a little garbage bin in the corner.

It’s not much but it’s important to make the citizen fell comfortable.

Paul Zed office is wild open and of course I understand that Andy was assaulted in his office in 2003 and he’s a Minister.



Everywhere you go it’s security lock.

There’s only one Government building that’s not security lock and that’s the ombudsman office.



Bernard Richard will continue to have this very important open door policy with the public but the question is – For how long?



His office is right at the door and it’s sure is nice to great the head macho himself.

There’s more changes coming at the Legislature.

The rumor is that metal detectors will be present to search the visitors once they passed through the doors.



In my opinion? This is pure Hogwash!!!

New Brunswickers haven’t cross that thin line yet.




No MLA’S have been assaulted in the Legislature or in their ridings?

Why show New Brunswickers in their face that we don’t trust them?

It just doesn’t make any sense.

This could backfire on the Government because we’re laid back!

We don’t have metal detectors in Schools. < not yet > but it seems that the Government wishes to get New Brunswickers upset.

Yes, The Capital is quickly becoming like Fort Knox and there’s nothing we can do about it!

Do you care about this issue or is it just moi????

C’est la vie!!!!!
