BERNARD LORD SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE!!!

I am not one to blog jokes but an Amercian sent me this one!
Charles 04_07_05 070

A guy was traveling through the United States on vacation when, behold,he lost his wallet and all identification. Cutting his trip short,he attempts to make his way home but is stopped by Customs at the border.

"May I see your identification, please ?" asks the agent.

"I'm sorry, but I lost my wallet," replies the guy.

"Sure, buddy, I hear that every day. "No ID, no crossing the border",says the agent.

"But I can prove that I'm a Canadian!" he said. "I have a picture of Brian Mulroney tattooed on one butt cheek and a picture of Jean Chretien on the other. "This I gotta see" said the agent.

With that, the guy drops his pants and bends over in front of the agent. "By golly, you're right!" exclaims the agent.

Go on home to New Brunswick.

" Thanks!" he says. "But how did you know I was from New Brunswick?"

The agent replies, "I recognized the picture of Bernard Lord in the middle."

CHARLES COMES FACE TO FACE WITH ARTHUR IRVING JUNIOR!!!!!

Busy busy busy…running here running there. My God? If I stay in Saint John?

That Tim Smith is going to kill me. I always believe that I walk fast?
do do
do do
We are taking a lot of pictures and are driving some people nutso! After we leave a certain building? They must say- Who the hell was that?


This morning, we landed in the Mayor’s office and I notice the secretary had a radio on the desk behind her.

She was listening to Talk of the Town on CFBC. So? This means the Office are indeed listening to the callers concerns.

Charles 04_07_05 078

Hey? We need talk shows. Melanson Live with Dennis Melanson was good and it’s a darn shame he didn’t have a last show to say good bye!

Rick Mantle is keeping the pressure on the Mayor’s office to change the LNG deal.

Picture of Rick Mantle and Charles!

There’s a meeting tonight at Harbour View High School on Douglas Avenue at 7:30pm!!!

I will be there with my little camera of course. Lol….

A few days ago while walking past the Irving Golden Ball building in Saint John,

I noticed someone walking in the Irving Headquarters.

At first, I believed it was Kenneth Irving so I shouted at the guy but after a closer look? I made a Boo Boo!

It was Arthur Irving Junior!!!!!

bios_townspeople_burns

Hey? Too late to go back now???

I only met the guy once < was introduced by his Father Arthur >

Anyway, I told the young Billionaire that I was the guy who was protesting a few years ago in front of the Headquarters. < Protesting against Racism >

I added that I always had respect his brother Kenneth and Father.

Tim Smith was watching and he noticed many Irving employees glancing from the windows of the building.

I am very surprised that the Irving Gestapo didn’t rush from the building to rescue Mr.Irving.

I knew that the Billionaire wasn’t comfortable with me, who can blame him?

I asked the Billionaire to have his picture taken with me but Mr.Irving denied my request.

But he did ask me the reason that I wanted a photo?

I explained to Mr.Irving that I was a blogger and I’m certain that he didn’t truly understand so I ended the conversation by saying- Tell your old man that I said hi and also your brother.

I would have love to be a fly on the wall once Arthur Irving Jr walked into the building. He must have been asked a few questions of the goings on outside of the building?…lol

A person must love living in New Brunswick!

A Billionaire walking around freely with no bodyguards around or even our Premier Bernard Lord goes shopping with his family with no security present.

Yes….It’s great.

Hey? Some good news from Saint John!!!

paul zed

I guess Paul Zed’s office sent a Canadian Flag to Randy Nelson from the Leisure Department for Fort Latour.

Saint John June 04-05 009

Sure is nice to have elected officials move on certain issues! Good for Paul Zed!

I want to congratulate Tim on his first blog. It sure received a lot of comments on the blog site and also on the streets of the Loyalist City.

It’s amazing how word of mouth can get around.

Hey anyway to spread the word.

Ok…just rambling here….please excuse the style of this update because I just write the darn thing and send it along the information Highway! Please don’t be afraid to leave a comment because this is what makes this blog a place to debate the issues in the Province of New Brunswick!!!

Bye bye!!!

THE IRVING TELEGRAPH JOURNAL IS CLOSING DOWN????

Boy? These people are very lucky that I’m not in the Capital because it sure wouldn’t have took me long to walk into this so call conference!

Read this one-


Conference looks at ADHD and dangerous driving Last updated Jun 7 2005 12:47 PM ADT

CBC News FREDERICTON – Researchers at a national road safety conference in Fredericton are trying to figure out why people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are more likely to drive dangerously.

Christine Wickens, a graduate student from York University in Toronto, said there hasn't been enough study of the problem. But based on the available research, she said it's clear that people with ADHD get into more trouble on the road than other drivers.

"ADHD drivers tend to be involved in more collisions. They have more traffic citations, particularly for speeding. They're more likely to have had their licences revoked and to drive without a licence."
Wickens said people with ADHD are also more likely to get arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

"What we're interested in really, is trying to understand why that's happening and why ADHD drivers tend to engage in more risky driving behaviour."
Wickens said there are no clear answers as to why people with ADHD are more likely to be a hazard on the road, but she says the disability could be a factor in several ways.

"Whether or not it's increased inattention or the ability to monitor the driving situation, whether it's perceptual difficulties, whether it's their impulsiveness and their inability to make decisions in the roadway environment … we don't know what it is."

Wickens says the researchers are compiling more information on the driving habits of people with ADHD, hoping it leads to some possible solutions.
For example, she says it's possible that people with ADHD could reduce their accident rate if they stopped playing music in their cars and limited all other forms of distraction.

Special training could also help. Wickens says she's working on an intensive driver training course to help people with ADHD drive more carefully.


Who the hell is the National Road Safety Council?

I just wondered if some of its members are from the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission.

I didn’t know any of this so call conference until this morning when I phoned CFBC Talk of the Town.

The host Rick Mantle asked me if I heard the latest news from Fredericton? He read some notes to me over the air and asked me for my views?

I did tell the audience that when I was younger? I had my share of accidents but we must not forget that in those days nobody knew of ADHD.

During the frigate program, I would travel to Moncton and I had no patience whatsoever to follow those trucks. I am very surprised that I didn’t get killed.

The stupid comments made at this conference that people with ADHD shouldn’t be listening to music because they’re easily distracted is a bunch of HOGWASH!!!

They insisted that people with ADHD are distracted very easily!

Hey?? If I see a woman walking around half naked? Will this distract me? Of course it will!

But I sure won’t cause an accident. I haven’t driven a vehicle in 4 years and I don’t care what those racists members of the New Brunswick told the Government that people with ADHD cannot drive a vehicle.

People with true ADHD can traveled in a vehicle all across the country but we educate ourselves that we must take our time.

The way this Conference made it sound? They made us look like fools and this is not right at all!

I am going to get to the bottom of this because this can be a disastrous for our future kids with ADHD! Thank God that I wasn’t in the Capital because surely all hell would have broke loose. Who are those people serving in this so call board?

I will let you know during the next few days. I’m still in Saint John and me and Tim Smith took a lot of nice pictures and we will used them during the next few weeks!

Just to give you an idea what kind of pictures we took? Take a close look at these photos.

This is the office of the Irving Telegraph Journal! You can tell that the paper is going to shut down in the near future because look at the sign.
telegraph2
telegraph1

It’s all destroyed and the Irvings don’t have the money to fixe it! The pictures has the same reputation as the newspaper. The telegraph Journal should have more pride for our tourists. Every City proudly show their newspapers but not this one! I wonder why?

Michael Jackson will be found not guilty and will be found guilty on a minor charge therefore he will be on strict probation for two years.

I am in a big hurry so please excuse the style and grammar of this blog because I wrote it very fast! Bye bye

LOTTERY CORPORATION NARROWLY ESCAPES PUBLIC RELATIONS DISASTER

paul
clone2


On Saturday may 24th, Paul pictured above was at the Millennium Lounge which is located in the Colonial Inns on City Road in Saint John N.B. Paul was a frequent player of the VLT’S at that location. On this particular evening he had been playing for some time but upon finishing his game he tried to cash out his credits, which was in the amount of $25.00.

To his surprise a message came up on the screen saying there was no receipt paper to print the transaction. He spoke to the bartender about this and was told that she would have to take his name and phone number. She also added that he should return the next day to receive his money, so he left the premises.

Three days later, on Tuesday morning he had remembered that he was owned $25.00 and returned to the Millennium Lounge at the Colonial Inns.

Once Paul tried to receive his money the Bartender told him that without a payout slip, they could not pay him!

He then explained the VLT had ran out of receipt paper and that was why he had no payout slip but his name & number were left at the bar so he could return to be paid.

tim vlt

But the bartender on shift that day insisted that he couldn’t be paid without a payout slip.

So Paul returned home and phoned the Atlantic Lottery Corporation in Moncton and to his disappointment he got the same answer from them as he had gotten from the bar. Paul feeling very frustrated at this point told the Lottery Corp.

He would proceed to go to the nearest hardware store and purchase a Sledge Hammer and return to the Colonial Inns and take his frustrations out on the Video Lottery Machines which are located in the Millennium bar Paul said the choice was theirs to make, $25.00 owed to him or thousands of dollars in damage to them?

HAMMER VLT!!!

The Lottery Corporation told Paul they would return his call to let him know what they would do for him.

The following morning Paul received a call from the Atlantic Lottery Corp. and was told to go to the Millennium Bar at the Colonial Inns to receive his $25.00. Once at the bar he was paid his money. Paul explained to the Bartender that it was a matter of principle.

She agreed but also told him that he was now banned from the Colonial Inns property for making threats to damage their Video Lottery Machines.

Paul explained to her that he did not feel this was fair but accepted it and left.

After Paul told me of his situation I decided to ask a few bartenders if this is a common occurrence some did say that it does happen periodically.

I was also told there are times when you are asked to take your payout slips home and bring it back later or next day to be paid because of cash float shortages.

Based on the Millions of dollars involved I cannot believe that people have to get that close to breaking the law or ending up in the courts and possibly receiving a criminal record over such a small amount of money considering the cut between the bars, the Government and the lottery Corporation.

SAINT JOHN SHOULD HAVE RESPECT FOR THE CANADIAN FLAG!!!

My God, the update I wrote on Friday was just terrible grammar wise but it happens sometimes when I’m in a hurry! I guess this one will not be any better. So here we go…..

Boy? What a huge difference 70 miles can make. I asked Abel LeBlanc < Liberal MLA > for a ride to Saint John.

abel_leblanc


I left the Capital and My God was it ever hot!!! < Not complaining > Poor Abel, he had to listen to me complaining about different political issues right till Saint John.

We had the air conditioner on but once we arrive in the Loyalist City all this change!!!

I thanked Abel and quickly left his vehicle but quickly jumped right back in and said- MY GOD??? IT’S COLD!!! WHERE’S MY JACKET!!!

It was windy and cold! Look at all the garbage on the streets and I'm cold and looking for the sun!!

Saint John June 04-05 002
Saint John June 04-05 003

This was the first time that I ever walked the Harbour passage. Everyone was wearing winter jackets compared to the Capital where everyone is half naked.

I passed by Fort LaTour and notice a very disgusting act! Our Canadian Flag was all ripped apart.

Saint John June 04-05 009

Our tourists come to Saint John and the first thing they see is a Canadian Flag half torn. The City of Saint John should have more pride with our Canadian flag.

I made it uptown and visited Tim Smith. We began taking pictures and it was still cold! Take a look at the garbage on the City’s streets? It’s just terrible!

On Saturday, we walked around and I showed Tim Smith and his daughter Sheana one area that I left my mark in the Loyalist City.

I totally forgot about it until we walked by Harbour Station. Former Mayor Shirley MacAlary gave this little gift to me.

Saint John June 04-05 017
Saint John June 04-05 016

It was the days where I stood toe to toe with these bigots members of the C.O.R. Party! < The good old days! > It was the days of the frigate program and it looks as I haven’t change one bite.

These days, I am not battling these bigots but the Irvings and those racist members of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission.

I am also fighting the Irvings in the issue of ownership of the media.

Hey? I got printed 500 letters to the Editor and suddenly the Irvings orders the papers not to publish my views? What’s wrong with this picture anyway?

Ok..never mind that issue. Maybe the reason that I’m so stubborn is because me mother < yes ME > is born in Glasgow Scotland and as a teenager came to Canada and married my father who’s a pure Acadian!

We all know there’s nothing more stubborn than a darn Scotsman! Hey? How will I look in a kilt? Arrgggg scary eh???

Saint John June 04-05 015

We bumped into a group of people who where attending a fund raising walk for the Loch Lomond Villa. So all is not lost for Saint John.

Saint John June 04-05 014

I bumped into these two elder ladies that I haven’t seen in years. They told me that they always love my views on talk of the town on CFBC in Saint John!
Rose and Paula

Saint John June 04-05 010

Hey? If I’m so famous for all the wrong reasons? Where’s my picture?

A LNG POEM FROM A SAINT JOHN CITIZEN!!!!!

Thuoght some of you might like this. I have taken some poetic licence with this topic.
LNG
Who is ListeniNG?

An island float:
In iron coat,
Commands the Mispec shore;
It fills a glut;
Amazing but,
Though troth be filled, they will have more¦

That heavy crude,
Burns black and rude,
And spills bequeath great chore;
But liquid gas,
Doth better pass,
Through safety spilled: its at our door¦

Equipment roars,
Like corporate whores,
Along the Stretch beside the shore;
For what's in store:
Was here before,
This roads been grilled,the bank is poor

Like Phantom ships,
The houses slip,
To greet the oceans frothy roar;
No time to pack,
Foundations cracked,
Yet on they build, with needs galore¦

And if she blows,
So Redhead goes,
In history books as fiery lore;
The landscape baked,
Cause heads to shake,
When all are killed 3 miles, and more¦

And for the rent,
They toss a cent,
To make our danger less a chore;
The bulls eye track,
Soon on our back,
The grist is milled, but are we sure?

TIM SMITH JOINS NEW BRUNSWICK'S LARGEST BLOGSITE

We would like to welcome Tim Smith to our blog as
a guest blogger (WCIE & Charles Leblanc)

May 4-2005-T& C-6

I would like to announce that I have been invited to blog along side of Charles on this blogsite.

I am looking forward to adding a few of my views and opinions also some interesting stories from local people’s perspectives on the issues of the day.

I would like to thank the WCIE (White Collar Irving Employee) and Charlie for asking me to join them in this adventure.

I will be giving my views on more than the issue of VLT’s on this site but will concentrate on Video Lottery more so than the other topics just as Charlie does with the issue of Ritalin and ADD/ADHD.

BIG CHANGES FOR THIS BLOG!!!!

I made it safe to Saint John and my God??? What a big difference temperature wise!!! It’s cold!!!!

charlesandtim

The capital is 31c and Saint John 10c! What a huge change.

Speaking of changes? Stay tune for big change in this blog during the next few
hours!!!! I mean…REALLY BIG CHANGES!!!!!

SHOULD JODY CARR BE IN THE CABINET???

Last evening, I phoned- Voice of the Province. This was the first time that I called in weeks.

Jody Carr and Donald Arseneault were the guests.

What's funny is this picture was taken months ago with these two MLA'S! I believe that Jody Carr has the right idea in this Photo.
Charles 04_07_05 039

I am certain that many MLA'S would at times would love to strangle this ADHD individual....lol.... Donald was going to do the same action but Jody beat him to it!!!...lol


My God? Is it ever hot outside but I am not complaining at all! Bring on the sun!

Yesterday, I had a meeting with my friend Dorothy Dawson. What was funny about this was I introduce her to a few politicians and told them that she was the one who was responsible for bringing me to this City.
Charles & Friend-

Its all because of here that you guys see my ugly face every day!

They would turn around with a smile and say- Ohh Thank you very much for bringing Charles here...lol...

You know what? I strongly believe that Bernard Lord should shuffle his Cabinet. For the life of me? I cannot understand the reason Jody Carr isn't in the Cabinet???

Charles 04_07_05 038

He was the first P.C. MLA to come and see me. He was also the first P.C. Mla to give me an interview over the net and he's also the first one to have his picture taken with me.

I guess that he won by 3,000 votes during the last provincial Election so therefore for the life of me? I cannot understand the reason this man isn't in the Cabinet?

Do you know? Please let me know!!

People are getting angry and tired of seeing all the same faces. It's time for a change!!!!

This morning, I walked into the Legislature and bumped into Jody's twin brother Jack!

Charles 04_07_05 069

He knew that I was a little excited because I demanded to see his brother.

There's one statement that Jody told the audience last night that wasn't true.

He said that the issue of inclusion is being studied therefore this gives Charles a change to voice his concerns.

The inclusion review if to better the way these kids with special needs are being treated in the classrooms.

This has nothing to do with the issue of Ritalin.

Bernard Lord will go down in history that he was the Premier who totally ignored the issue of prescription in this Province.
Charles 04_07_05 072

One more issue? I saw another close call yesterday between some kids and the vehicles.

Charles 04_07_05 074

These vehicles move very fast in front of the Legislature. But then again if a P.C. MLA get killed? The Lord Government will fall!!! The City of Fredericton should put a crosswalk in this very dangerous area.

It's one of the most busy area in the whole City!!! Why wait till someone gets killed???

I will be going to Saint John this weekend and it's going to be funny because me and Tim Smith are going to go around with a camera in tow!

We're going to drive everyone nutso!!!

Ohhh I just received this email!!!

DO NOT BLOG BY ME......HOT OFF OF THE PRESS NEWS.......................................................Did you know that Monday is a Holiday for all of Irving Employees? I guess that they call it Irving Day. I think everyday is Irving day for the Irvings but these employees do not get much time with their families(dedicated life and souls)so this is a good thing! Yesterday another breakdown at the Pulp and Paper mill. Peoples eyes were burning, and it smelled of rotten eggs. They better start firing these people and I am glad to be leaving Saint John soon.


Irving day? What do they do on this special day? Do they gather around and salute the Irvings?

Are those racist members of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission going to join them? Will these Irving bureaucrats be there also?

Charles 04_07_05 079

Irving day!!!! Very interesting!!!!


The garbage is still on the streets in Saint John and I guess that the City is not in a hurry to clean it up!!!

TIM SMITH HAS A QUESTION FOR BEV HARRISON!!

?? THE QUESTION I HAVE IS THIS ??

On the day after I ended my protest against the Lord Government for exploitation of addictive behavior through Video Lottery Machines strewn about in our communities and the destruction this causes.
Tim, May 4, 2005



I wanted to go into the legislature to say my good-byes and thank a number of Liberal MLA’s as well as a couple of Conservative MLA’s but upon entering the front entrance Security notified The Sergeant at Arm’s office from there I was told I would have to leave the premises immediately.

The Sergeant at arms said the Speaker of the House left word with him that I was not to be in the Legislature.

He said to come back in about a half hour and he would have it cleared up by then but upon arrival again there was some confusion about whether or not I was allowed in the building?

I was told to wait outside the front entrance until someone speaks to the Speaker of the House.

After about 20 minutes or so Security came to let me know I could now come inside but was restricted to the Gallery only.

Now my problem with this situation is this – The first time I had protested outside the Legislature in January of this year I was invited to listen to arguments on the floor of the House on the issue of vlt’s by members of the opposition ( Liberal as well as NDP )
May 4-2005-T-1
I was also allowed to store my bag of personal belongings in the House of Opposition It was also determined at that time I was no threat to any person.

I used my manners and did not speak out of turn nor did I ever raise my voice or swear I was considered by members of the House and Security to be a very approachable and well behaved individual.

On my final day of protest I was free to roam throughout the Legislator with no restrictions set upon me what so ever (Library, Cafeteria, Gallery, Sgt.at arms Office etc.)

I remained there for most of that day talking to members of the house as well as some reporters that were moving about within the lobby.

My question would be to the Speaker of the House as to why I was treated the way I was on my second trip to the Legislator?

Also on what basis did he make the determination that I was not to enter the Legislative Assembly Building?

Isn't the House for the people of New Brunswick?

My protest had ended the previous day and I was certainly not a threat to any persons there and so have no choice but to believe the Speaker of the House being
a Conservative member of the Lord Governing Party must have decided to take a personal grudge against my character to do what he has done in this regard and therefore with no justifiable means to support the decision he took by barring me from the Legislature on that day do hereby ask that he grant a Public
apology.

IRVING ROBOT WAS IN THE NEW BRUNSWICK LEGISLATURE!!!!

Does anyone out there has a picture of Mary Keith < Spokeperson for the Evil Irving Empire!! >

Please send it along to this blog.
shipbuilding

I tried to locate her picture on the net but I didn't have any luck.

This morning, I was in the Cafeteria at the Legislature and there was a MLA standing beside me.


I told the MLA- Look at all these fine Irving's employees!

In front of me were three reporters from the Daily Gleaner, Moncton Transcript and Telegraph Journal!!! All Irvings newspapers!!!!

The MLA quickly replied- Ohh Charles...you know how to make a entrance!!!

Now? Mary Keith spokeperson was in the hallways of the Legislature yesterday.

This Irving robot < who never smile > was lucky that I didn't noticed her because once outside?
robot_robby3_small

I would have make certain that my voice would have been heard!

I mean Racist Irving employees in the Legislature???? Hiiii Irving!!!!
hitler

This robot from the Irvings told the Irving's newspapers some very false stories about me a couple of years ago.

The scary thing is that they printed her words therefore brainwashing the readers with their BS!

I said it in the past and I will say it again- It's old Germany all over again and lets see if the Canadian Senate will down on the Irving Gestapo?

Time will tell!

Anyway? Mary Keith was surrounded by her Irving's employees in the Legislature yesterday and what a FARCE!!!

Can you imagine what would happen if an Irving reporter wrote against the Irvings?

They would be fired right on the spot! As we speak? The Irvings are training future Journalist to follow the Irving's way!!!

All this have to do is to dedicate their life and soul to the Evil Irving Empire and they will be hired on the spot!

This morning I saw Minister Keith Ashfield!

Keith is on the left!!
Charles 04_07_05 059

I shouted that he should walk around with Body Guards because the Irvings are upset with him over yesterday's decision against doubling the clear-cutting in this Province. ...lol...The Irving Gestapo will shoot him on the streets!!!..lol...

I don't believe the Irvings have hitmen on the streets because I would have been shot a long time ago!!!!...lol

Ok...I got a meeting this afternoon so therefore this is a very short update? Don't forget? Send me that picture so I can post this robot on my blog! Merci!!! Bye bye


Again, I wrote this one very fast!!!!
