I decided to walk by the Legislature this evening and I bumped into Jack Carr.
While discussing political issues? I noticed Cy LeBlanc coming out from the Departmental Building.
It was 10:05pm and it was dark.
I asked Jack – Is that Cy LeBlanc???
I was told that it was indeed the P.C. MLA from Memramcook-Dieppe.
I shouted - Hey Cy? I want to talk to you???
He shouted back – AHHHH….and proceeded in his vehicle.
I walk quickly towards his window but he pulled down on the gas peddle and quickly sped off away from the Legislature.
I found this act very ignorant.
I wanted to know his stand on the Irving Rock Quarry in his riding?
I guess that I don’t know so I’ll have to make up my own little assumptions on this issue.
What was he doing in his office during the late hours of the night?
Was he meeting with some Irving lobbyists to make certain that a Irving Rock Pit goes ahead on schedule?
Who knows?
Maybe it wasn’t that at all?
It could be that he’s upset that I mentioned the guy in my blog?
The P.C.’s are pretty touchy lately and I wonder why?
I know one fact! I may not live in Memramcook but I am born in the Valley and the local MLA should pay attention to any citizens in his riding.
Yes, even those who don’t live there any longer!
A true paid lobbyist does his business during the day but a lobbyist like myself who’s not being paid one cent can popped out from nowhere land.
Yes, we can confront these MLA’s in the dark late at night!
I hope the people in that riding knows they have an MLA who’s not open to the public.
Hey? Maybe it’s just me only????...lol

WAS CY LEBLANC MEETING WITH IRVINGS LOBBYISTS???
KIDS ARE PLAYING NEAR NEEDLES ON THE STREETS IN SAINT JOHN!!!!
ARE THE ODDS WAY DOWN?????
I noticed this worker from CBC filming the Tim's Horton on King street this afternoon.
I whisper- Hey??? SNAP GOT HIM!!!!!
Even a reporter is not safe in the Capital.
He was doing a story on the odds of winning at Tim's!
While in Saint John, I stayed over Tim Smith place.
He drinks a lot of coffee and he told me that he never won any prizes since the contest came out!
Could it be that the odds off winning are way down?
What do you think?
THE REASON THE IRVINGS ARE NOT FLYING THE NEW BRUNSWICK FLAG!!!! READ ON....you may be surprise by the answer...
There!!!!!! I finally walked into the Irving station and asked – Why are you not flying the New Brunswick Flag?
I got my answer!
I told the guy other stations are not flying the flag so therefore it must be some sort of a trend.
He told me that one of the reasons is that the flag rips to easily and it goes on the power line.
No power line near this station!!!!
I was assured that the flag will be back in a couple of weeks.
So? The flags are easily ripped and it’s costing too much money to replace!
Sigh???? The Irvings are now saving money in flying the flags only during a certain part of the year.
I wonder just how much these big flags cost anyway?
CONGRATULATION BERNARD LORD!!! YOU HAVE JUST RECEIVED THE KISS OF DEATH!!!!
THE ACADIANS FROM MEMRAMCOOK HAVE DEFEATED THE BRITISH!!!! OPPS?? SORRY!!! I MEANT THE IRVINGS!!!
The Irving rock quarry will not be built in Memramcook.
Le commission de Beaubassin have said - thanks but no thanks!!!
I made a phone call to Memramcook and I was told that the Irving's bureaucrats in the Capital will make sure that the Irvings gets their way before the Lord Government leaves office!!!
I told them that I will be here in the Capital speaking out!
These Irving's bureaucrats must not over rules the verdict of the Acadians!
Will Trevor Holder as a proud Loyalist sign papers to destroy Memramcook before he leaves office?
One thing is a certain fact!!!!
I will confront this issue with the Minister face to face!
Of course the story wasn't in the Irving's newspapers because they lost!!!
I couldn't locate any english stories but I did locate one en Francais!!!
Ceci est histoire de CBC!!!!
Environnement
Pas de troisième carrière à Memramcook
Mise à jour le jeudi 16 mars 2006, 9 h 53 .
Carrière
Carrière dans la région de Memramcook (archives)
La Commission d'aménagement Beaubassin a rejeté la
demande de l'entreprise Irving qui voulait une
modification des règlements du zonage afin d'ouvrir
une carrière de granit dans ce petit village du
sud-est du Nouveau-Brunswick.
La Commission a statué qu'on n'ouvrira pas cette
carrière à moins qu'on gère mieux les deux carrières
existantes et que le gouvernement établisse des
mesures strictes pour protéger l'environnement et la
santé des résidents.
Les voisins de ces deux carrières se plaignent du
bruit et de la poussière depuis de nombreuses années.
Ils craignent pour leur santé.
Laurie McGraw, membre de la Commission, a indiqué que
les carrières actuelles ne respectent pas les normes
et que l'ouverture d'une troisième aurait compliqué la
situation. La Commission recommande au ministère de
l'Environnement de régler tout d'abord les problèmes
actuels.
Les citoyens qui s'opposaient au projet sont ravis. «
Nous sommes très contents parce que ça va dans la
direction qu'on souhaitait. Je trouve que les
commissaires ont fait un excellent travail. Ils ont
été à l'écoute des citoyens », a déclaré Paul Doucet,
président d'un comité de citoyens.
Une porte-parole du groupe Irving a affirmé que le
projet respecte les principales préoccupations des
citoyens concernés et que plusieurs recommandations de
la Commission visent plutôt les carrières existantes.
Les voisins des carrières de granit sont heureux de
cette première victoire. Ils souhaitent maintenant que
le gouvernement y donne suite.

MICHAEL ( TANKER ) MALLEY COME CLEANS WITH HIS PAST ADDICTIONS TO VLT'S!!!!!!
NB Telegraph-Journal | Provincial News
As published on page A1/A2 on March 15, 2006
Independent MLA 'almost lost everything' to VLTs
Tanker Malley calling for stricter limits on the machines
(File/Telegraph-Journal)
Michael (Tanker) Malley says that he played VLTs almost daily when he
was a school bus driver, earning only $15,000 a year.
By Shannon Hagerman
Telegraph-Journal
FREDERICTON - Michael (Tanker) Malley counts himself lucky video-lottery terminals didn't destroy his life.
"Years ago, I had a problem, but I dealt with it on my own," the Miramichi-Bay du Vin MLA revealed Tuesday during a legislative committee hearing.
Mr. Malley said he quit the machines "cold turkey" after playing them
almost daily while he was a school bus driver, earning only $15,000 a
year.
"Put it to you this way, I almost lost everything," Mr. Malley said.
The Independent MLA is calling for stricter limits on VLTs in New
Brunswick saying he knows first-hand how addictive they are.
Mr. Malley said he spared himself from a life-long addiction when he made a choice to quit playing.
These days, he occasionally buys a
break-open lottery ticket from the corner store, but he keeps on walking
whenever he encounters the flashing video-lottery machines.
"I caught myself before it went too far, or I could have been in (trouble)," he said.
Others haven't been so lucky, Mr. Malley said.
"I have watched friends put their entire pay cheques in," he said.
"There are people near and dear to me (playing) who are earning $800 or
$900 a month and have a few kids home to feed."
The MLA, who often speaks proudly of his humble roots, said he hopes others will be inspired to curb their addiction after they hear about his own private struggle.
"It takes a man to admit you have a problem," he said.
"After awhile I just stopped. It just wasn't for me. I didn't have any more money in my pocket.
I think overall I've come to my senses and realized that it's not for me."
Mr. Malley, who quit the Conservative caucus last month, says the province needs to do more to protect vulnerable players in New Brunswick.
Mr. Malley said all VLTs in the province should be shut down on Sundays
and the province should develop safeguards to limit how much money
individual players can pump into the machines on a daily basis.
He's suggesting a $20 maximum spending limit per day.
He's particularly interested in a Nova Scotia pilot project that assigns video lottery players an access card that tracks playing habits and can restrict
excessive gambling.
The MLA revealed his history with gambling after provincial MLAs on the
legislature's Crown corporations committee spent Tuesday questioning
officials from the Atlantic Lottery Corporation and the provincial
Lotteries Commission.
Michelle Carinci, president and CEO of the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, said the agency spent about $1 million in 2004-2005 developing "responsible gaming" policies.
The Department of Health and Wellness spent about $750,000 in 2005
offering addiction services for individuals addicted to gambling, a
government official said Tuesday.
Ms. Carinci said research has shown removing VLTs isn't the solution to
curbing addiction.
"The experts tell us the problem is no more in the machine than it is
in the bottle," she told the committee.
Ms. Carinci said the best way to avoid problem gambling is through education.
"We believe that an informed player is then able to make an informed choice and that is through harm reduction and perhaps prevention in the long run," she said. "The important thing isn't how much we spend, but how effective we are with what we spend."
Saint John-Fundy MLA Stuart Jamieson said $1 million isn't enough to
spend on curbing addiction, particularly since the corporation spent $8
million advertising its traditional lottery programs in 2005.
The corporation's annual report shows video-lottery terminal revenues
increased to $89 million in 2005, up from $83 million in 2004.
"It doesn't line up to be responsible when you look at all the profits
and then the money that's spent on problem gambling," Mr. Jamieson
said.
Ms. Carinci said the corporation is expecting lower profits in 2006,
for the first time in 30 years.
She linked the reduction to a decision by the New Brunswick and
Newfoundland governments to restrict smoking in provincial bars and
restaurants.
There are about 1,000 video-lottery terminals in operation in New
Brunswick. The machines are restricted to provincial bars and licensed
restaurants.
The provincial government is studying whether to further restrict
machine use. Details of the government's policy may be found in a gambling
discussion paper that will be presented to the Conservative cabinet next
month.
The provincial government is considering whether to hold public
hearings on the discussion paper, which is also expected to highlight the
provincial government's position on racinos.
TWO OTHER IRVING GAS STATIONS REFUSE TO FLY THE NEW BRUNSWICK FLAG!!!!
I notice the same at two other gas stations. One pass Princess Margaret Bridge and the other in West Saint John!!!! The question is why??
WILL THE BEAUBASSIN COMMITTEE TONIGHT ACT LIKE THE BRITISH IN 1755???? WILL THE IRVINGS BEGIN TO DESTROY MEMRAMCOOK IN THE MORNING???


The Beaubassin committee will have the final say but from what I hear?
Trevor Holder could walked in and signed papers that will give the Irvings the ok.

Will Loyalist Trevor Holder act like the British in 1755 who deported the Acadians?
These Acadians who could give the ok to the Irvings will be known just like the British who deported the Acadians in 1755!!!!

If that is the case? I will call him a Bigot Loyalist for the rest of his life!!!
Time will tell and the meeting is at
Edifice Municipal
Cap-Pele
at 7:00pm
I wish that I could make it there but it won’t happen. The public will have a final say before the members reach a verdict!
I might add that there’s nothing in the Moncton Irving Transcript about this meeting!

The Irvings are hiding this meeting from the public!!!!
I would have love to tell the audience that Gulf Operator is a very racist Company and they’re main goal is to harm the Acadian Population in Memramcook but I can’t make it there.

Anyone wishes to attend? Send me an email at oldmaison@yahoo.com.
