HOW MANY UNION EMPLOYEES USE CHARLES LEBLANC AS AN EXCUSE TO GO OUT ON STRESS LEAVE FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS???
The paper trail is getting interesting and how many people used taxpayers money to get a free vacation for the summer.
You say that I'm making up these stories?
There should be an investigation on this issue. Government Union employees taking advantage of a free summer holidays???
Is this the reason that Tom Mann wrote that letter in a few Irving's newspapers?
Is the Union covering something?
Should these elected officials be questioned by New Brunswickers?
Tanker Malley, Cy LeBlanc, John Betts, Bev Harrison, Jeannot Volpe, Elvy Robichaud, Stuat Jamieson, Kelly Lamrock and Shawn Graham are against a true demoncracy???
These individuals are responsible for me being banned for life from the Legislature. Lets not forget Dan Bussieres also.
The paper trial is very interesting and it leads me towards the Liberal workers. One thing is certain. I can't wait to confront these individual face to face.
If they believe a person should be evicted from the Legislature without just cause? Well, they shouldn't be power because it would be very dangerous.
Stay tune for more because this issue will not go away! Not from a long shot!!!!
The issue of Agent Orange.
Londoner appeals to PM for Agent Orange inquiry
Thu, July 13, 2006
Art Connolly was exposed to the defoliant as a child at CFB Gagetown.
By CHIP MARTIN, FREE PRESS POLITICS REPORTER
His hopes shattered that a Conservative government would quickly take steps to help Canadian victims of Agent Orange, a London man is appealing directly to Prime Minister Stephen Harper to conduct a public inquiry into military use of the defoliant.
In a letter, Art Connolly, vice-president of the Agent Orange Association of Canada, reminded Harper that the Conservative leader told him personally last summer, at an event in Woodstock, that the federal government "has to do something."
Connolly is pushing for compensation and an apology for use of the toxic defoliant at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in New Brunswick from 1956 to 1984. He lived on the base as a youngster with his military family and says not only soldiers but their families and civilians have suffered health problems because of exposure to Agent Orange and related chemicals tested at the base by the U.S. military.
"The letter came from a sense of frustration," Connolly said yesterday. "Nothing has changed. The Conservative party, before they were elected, were on board with us and they were going to change things . . . but once they got in (office) nothing changed."
"Last fall, Mr. Harper said all victims should be compensated," he said.
But Connolly said the Conservatives are instead continuing a fact-finding exercise initiated by the Liberals in a move derided by a top Conservative at the time as "nothing more than an elaborate public-relations exercise." That Conservative, MP Greg Thompson of New Brunswick, is now veterans affairs minister.
"We jumped for joy when we learned he was to become veterans affairs minister," Connolly said. "I still hope Mr. Thompson's heart is in the right place . . . He knows the issues, but I suspect he's being told to toe the party line."
Connolly said as the fact-finding exercise continues, former military personnel, their families and civilians continue to develop health problems and die. He couldn't provide numbers and declined to reveal the size of his organization because "we don't want the other side to know. But it is substantial and growing every day."
He has noted about 200,000 Canadian military personnel were stationed at Base Gagetown at the time.
In his letter, Connolly argues the Department of National Defence, which is conducting the fact-finding mission, shouldn't be allowed to investigate itself. He argues only a public inquiry "will finally deal with the truth."
"I urge you to do the right thing, Mr. Harper," he concludes.
Connolly said victims and their families are discovering the change of government has meant nothing to them, despite promises of help. He said the government must "make sure this (exposure to toxic chemicals) never happens again and make restitution and apologize and let everybody move on.
"But this way is damn near insulting."
Agent Orange and other chemicals were widely used in the Vietnam War by the U.S. military. Connolly recently spoke in Hanoi at the invitation of the Vietnam Association of Victims of Agent Orange.
STEPHEN HARPER DON'T CARE THAT DEAD SOLDIER ARRIVE HOME!!!
Shame on Stephen Harper not to lower the Canadian Flag. In his mind, it's only one small issue. Sorry Stephen, you're wrong! Once the Liberals get back on track? They will tell Canadians - WE WILL LOWER THE CANADIAN FLAG!!!! Bingo...they'll return to office...just like the issue of the GST but they did lie afterwards....
Former shipyard worker now works for the City of Frdericton.
Keith quickly reconized me from the shipyard and he works for the City. He's a nice guy. He used to be a big fan of mine from my letters to the editor. I told Keith that those days are long gone. I'm a blogger now. I bet the skateboarders will be be very happy to see the new railing in the park.
Some told me to blame Bernard Lord for my banning from the New brunswick Legislature?
This time around? I don't believe so.....As in these pictures taken months ago? He was thinking of something when he saw me taking a picture and quickly shouted something?
I really don't hate Bernard Lord. I just want a study done of the way our kids are being drugged and killed?
Nothing wrong in asking for a study? I might add that 10,000 people signed my petition. So what's the hold up??

ACADIEN BUS LINE IS TO BLAME FOR THE CLOSURE OF THE FERRY SERVICE BETWEEN SAINT JOHN AND DIGBY!!!
Last weekend, I bumped into a tourist from Scotland. The woman told me that Acadian Bus line is to blame for the lost of the ferry service between Saint John and Digby.
I was told the schedule don’t match with the departures of the ferry from both Cities.
I have been told they have to wait 3 to 4 hours for a ferry.
This is reason the Ferry is going to shut down!!!
What do you expect from a company who’s headquarters is from Quebec????
I guess the former owners - The irvings weren't that bad?
TO THE EYE OF THE SAINT JOHN POLICE FORCE?? IT DON'T MATTER IF YOU'RE SUPPECTED OF HAVING A GUN OR YOU'RE A BLOGGER??? YOU'RE GOING DOWN!!!
I can't wait for my day in court!!!
TOM MANN IS ONCE AGAIN HUNTED BY CHARLES!!!!
If you don’t wish to read a long winded blog? Don’t read this one!!!!
What a day! I’m a little tired but I got to try to write a detail blog of my day in action.
It all began this morning when I was told that my letter was indeed printed in the Irving newspaper about Brent Taylor.
They didn’t used the word - Bigot but that’s ok. I’m still in good communication with the Daily Gleaner. They will print my letters and maybe next time the former C.O.R. Bigot Mla will think before writing his column in the Irving’s paper.
I often wonder how he got that job anyway? I never read his BS!!!
Ok Charlie...Calm down...later on that morning, I met my partner in crime at a certain location and away we went to hunt down Tom Mann.
The young girl wasn’t as calm as the last few occasions because I mentioned to her that the police will definitely be involved. I told her to stay back and just take pictures of the event.
When you do something like this? You must remain cool calm and collective. That's the reason I always have my hands behind my back. An activist must never cross that line.
This has been a very busy summer for me compared to last year?
If the Saint John Police, staff at the Legislature, Brent Taylor and Tom Mann would have just minded their own business?
Everything would be quiet.
Once at the building of the New Brunswick Union, I decided that I would go inside to give the Unionized workers a fair warning.
I walked inside but there was nobody present. Maybe they saw me coming???
The last time, I was in this location? There was a woman present.
We left to go outside but at the last minute, we decided to go upstair.
Once up the stairway, I came face to face with the same female worker I chatted with on the street the evening before.
She didn’t have the same friendly expression on her face like the first time we met.
I’m certain that someone told her something because she definitely didn’t have a good attitude with me. This wasn’t an important matter to me because I was looking for Tom Mann..
I asked - Is Tom Mann around?
She never gave me eye contact and said- Tom will not be around this week.
She played the roll of a true high class bureaucrat. Respect for me sure wasn’t in the air!!!
I told her- I just wish to tell you that there’s going to be a protest in front of the building...before I could finish?
She quickly got up and told me that Tom’s secretary should be around and disappeared in the back room.
We were left alone for a minute and waited for the secretary to walked in.
To my surprised? It wasn’t the secretary. It was the lawyer David brown!!!
He quickly walked into the room and went straight for the poor girl who was sitting down on a chair and demanded that she didn’t take any pictures!!!
These lawyers are pretty touchy when it comes to have their picture taken I guess?
I asked for Tom Mann and reminded the so call lawyer that I left him my email but Tom never emailed me?
He didn’t say much. I got the same attitude as the last time we met. It was like -Please leave us alone. Get lost!!!
I had my two arms behind my back and said - Listen? It’s Tom Mann who began all this! He’s the one who wrote that letter to the editor. That letter got printed in the Woodstock Bugle and the Daily Gleaner. I’m just here for some answers? I am following the paper trail and it leads me right here!!!
David Brown still didn’t say much! I wasn’t getting anywhere with this guy so I told him that I’m a peaceful person and I just wish to get some answers?
He had the gall to tell me to go see a lawyer? I asked him if he had money for a lawyer?
I wasn’t getting nowhere with David Brown. Surely, the staff in that building must have heard some very bad stories about me! Their attitude wasn’t a good one and I knew it!
An older guy quickly ran up the stairs. Did they call him for backup? Was this going to be a violent confrontation? Was the Union members going to throw me downstairs?
I had to act fast and get to the reason that I was in the building in the first place.
In a friendly way, I said - I just wish to let you know that I’m going to be out front with this till Friday.
You should have seen the look on the lawyer’s face once he saw the bullhorn.
I believe that I did have his attention.
He told me that he would call the police???
I answered - That’s exactly what I want!!! Maybe the police can investigate this awful situation and we could get some answers? I might add that I would have lots to say en Francais and in English.
Well, I believe that he decided that maybe we could negotiate an end to this awful war of words.
I told the lawyer that coming in here was better than a shot gun??? I believe they knew it wouldn’t be a peaceful week with me standing outside with a bullhorn? I bet the whole building would go on stress leave for the summer months?...lol
He reminded me that Tom Mann is a nice guy.
Sure sound like they believe that I’m going to attack the Union leader physically? Why would I do something like that anyway? He’s not wroth it but if he came after moi? Well, that’s a total different ball game?
I reminded the lawyer that many people told me that Tom Mann was a nice guy.
I once again asked him if he knew Dorothy Dawson?
I said- You can thank Dorothy for me to be in the Capital. She drove me here three years and gave me her tent! Dorothy is one of the most respected Union activist in the whole province.
She told me that she was a little disappointed with Tom Mann’s letter to the editor. All we want are answers?
He told me to give him some time and he’ll get back to me.
I reminded the lawyer that the last time I came here? He must have said- That guy is an idiot! Just ignore him!
Well, I will not going nowhere!
The Union leader wrote that letter to the editor to discredit me and I want some answers. I went home dejected because I believe maybe this issue could end? I was ready for a lot of action but it never happen.
My god, I’m pretty busy lately.
Ohhhh??? The radio live talk show with Bruce on CKTP 95.7FM went good.
We seem to hit it off pretty good. He comes out with an issue and we debate for a few minutes. There’s always something to debate about and this issue is a dozy one!!!
Stay tune for more action from the capital!!!!!
SAVAGE'S BIKE SHOP IS THE PLACE TO GO!!!
