THE IRVINGS NOW CONTROL WHAT THE CITIZENS OF SAINT JOHN WILL READ!!!
This is a huge step backwards in our democratic system. The Irvings now control what will be heard by Saint Johners.
Rogers Television are denying New brunswickers to asks questions on their talk shows and now this.
I feel bad for the poor people in Saint John. Talk of the Town has been their part of their daily routine for the last few decades.
It’s over!!! If there’s a time to revolt against the Irvings or CFBC??? This is truly the momment. My God? I would even go down to Saint John to protest this awful decision to can cel the show.
For the citizens of Saint John? It is truly over!!!!! The citizens are not allowed to write letters to the editor against the Irvings!
I guess the only voice for Saint Johners are Bloggers but the poor people cannot afford a computer.
This is truly a very sad day for Saint Johners!!!
It’s over!!!!

THE IRVINGS WINS!!!! CFBC IS NO MORE!!! THE CITIZENS OF SAINT JOHN MUST REVOLT!!!!
Today we heard that CFBC TALK OF THE TOWN will not be returning on Sept 1st. The radio program has run for decades in our city but it seems the plug has been pulled. We are really a group of effective citizens when the Empire strikes back like this.

KELLY LAMROCK WILL BE RE-ELECTED!!!
Kelly Lamrock is an liberal Mla from Fredericton- Fort Nashwaak.
He’s one of a few MLA who didn’t chat with me too often during my protest in front of the Legislature.
I noticed this tall invidual walking by with his head down. I didn't know who he was.
He was always thinking.
One fellow Liberal described him very good.
He said - That guy is super intelligent but he was left alone in the woods?
He would be dead in 24 hours! He wouldn’t be able to survive.
After the protest, Kelly began to open up with me.
I would always noticed in his eyes if he was following my concerns during a conversation. He listens and makes a quick decision on the issue in hand. He don't fool around.
I will admit that on some occassion? He must have believe that I was just a plain pain in the butt!!!
He reads my blog and if there’s something he doesn’t like? He will tell me!
During the past year, he had the P.C.’s talking.
They were calling the Liberals the Kelly Party because of his grandstanding in the Legislature.
Now? Everyone is waiting for me if I’m going to give a tumbs down or up on this MLA?
The day after I was banned from the Legislature?
The media covered the story in a good fashion.
Abel LeBlanc and Rick Brewer told the media that they didn’t agree that I was ban for life from the People’s House.
Kelly walked by and I shouted at Kelly to stop because he was one of the three Liberals who agreed that I should be banned.
Kelly quickly told the media- I’m sure if you talk to all the MLA’S? Most would agree this was the proper action to follow.
I’m certain that Kelly expected the media to drop the issue and go on to another story but it never happen.
The media wanted some answers and Kelly told me that if I can prove or say anything that can change the decision they took?
He would fight hard to get me back there.
Being a person of his word. I had a little meeting with the guy and he did send a letter to Tanker Malley asking for a meeting between myself and the speaker but Tanker never return my email.
The stories that he told me were all lies and someone went out of their way making lies to get me banned.
Kelly is the type of individual who maybe would look high class but I guess this is the genes of being brought up in the Capital.
I believe that this style will get him re-elected.
He’s also guaranteed a position in the Cabinet if the Liberals goes in power.
I believe that if he's a Minister? I can bring him down on my level. I could make him understand some of the issues I have about the poor or Ritalin and he'll not only listen but act.
I might add that he's the only elected offcial who has an office in a public place. He's always sitting with his laptop and cell phone at Reid's newstand on King Street. WHICH IS A GOOD THING!!
All depends what’s going to happen during the next few weeks with Shawn Graham.
I will give him a tumb down for believing those lies about me but will give him a thumbs up to be re-elected!

IS NEW BRUNSWICK LEGAL AID TO BLAME FOR OVER POPULATED PROVINCIAL JAIL???
I have been told months ago that the Health Department shut down the kitchen at the Provincial Jail in Black River. I guess the jail is way over populated!!!
Could the blame be New Brunswick Legal Aid????
It is proven that New Brunswick has the wrost legal Aid system in Canada. The poor are grabbed from the streets and thrown to the mercy of the court.
Why is our bureaucrats treating our poor like animals????
You don’t believe moi? Next week our bureaucratic New Brunswick Human Rights
WELFARE RATE IS THE LOWEST OF THE COUNTRY!!!!! DOES ANYONE CARE????
Welfare payments called 'morally disgraceful'
Last Updated Thu, 24 Aug 2006 13:19:43 EDT

After successive federal surpluses, it's a moral outrage that Canadians on welfare are receiving some of the lowest payments in 20 years, says a national poverty group.
A report released Thursday by the National Council on Welfare suggests the 1.7 million Canadians on welfare in 2005 saw some of the lowest welfare rates since 1986.
"We have forgotten about these people and I think it's morally disgraceful," said John Murphy, the chair of the council.
Called Welfare Incomes 2005, the report tallies total welfare income, including both provincial and federal welfare benefits, child benefits and tax credits.
It measures the welfare rates in four different scenarios: a single employable person, a person with a disability, a single parent with one child, and a couple with two children aged 10 and 15.
New Brunswick and oil-rich Alberta had some of the lowest rates among all the provinces, while Newfoundland and Labrador delivered some of the highest rates, suggests the report.
Of the four scenarios measured, the highest and lowest welfare rates among the provinces were:
Single employable person:
* N.B. - $3,427
* N.L. - $8,198
Person with disability:
* Alta. - $7,851
* Ont. - $12,057
Lone parent with one child:
* Alta. - $12,326
* N.L. - $16,181
Couple with two children:
* N.B. - $17,567
* P.E.I. - $21,213
The income figures reported from the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut were higher than those in the provinces. However, the cost of living is higher in northern regions, so any benefit of bigger cheques is lost.
A single person on welfare in N.W.T. receives $13,610 per year, while a couple with two children in Nunavut receive $36,325.
Alberta rates halved
Welfare rates have dropped, sometimes in half, over the past two decades, suggests the report.
In 1986, a single person on welfare in Alberta received roughly $10,000 a year. By 2005, that amount had dropped to $5,050 per year.
Critics say the provincial government, which is on track to run 13 straight years of surplus budgets, should be ashamed.
"We've got people sleeping in our parking lots. We've got people sleeping in dumpsters," said Edmonton social aid worker Ellie Gibson.
"There was someone run over in a parking lot in Edmonton [Tuesday] night."
Poverty advocacy groups say the report proves Canada should have a national poverty strategy.
"Across Canada we're enjoying record-breaking surpluses and record-breaking welfare rates," said Sherry Tingley, executive director of the National Anti-Poverty Organization.
"I'm extremely puzzled and it's not a very good strategy for us as a country."
National standards needed
Brenda Murphy, who works with Saint John's Urban Core Support Network, said Ottawa should play a role in social assistance, which is run by the provinces.
"I think it makes sense to have national standards so it doesn't matter what province people live in, that there's some equality there," said Murphy.
Advocacy groups say some of the Conservative government's new initiatives help the poor, including the cut to the GST and the universal child care benefit.
But they say the poor in Canada really need a guaranteed annual income that will cover the basics of food, clothing and a place to live.
The report bases its findings on Statistics Canada's Low-Income Cut-Offs (LICOs), which is not an official poverty line but a measure of the number of Canadians who spend 20 per cent more of their gross income on food, shelter and clothing than the average Canadian.
Critics of the LICO call it an arbitrary measurement, saying it doesn't accurately measure poverty.
