SHOULD MICHELLE HOOTON RESIGN HER SEAT????
A couple of days ago, I asked the question but no one gave me an answer.
Well? Now I know the answer.
Michelle Hooten never resign her seat from Council to run as an MLA!
Should this be allowed?
Should she be allowed to grandstand in the Council chambers while she runs for Provincial office?
We know that Norm MacFarlane was a former Minister of the Lord Government but this is not fair for the other candidates.
I didn’t know this was allowed in Canada?
I respect an individual who resigns their post to run for public office but in this case?
She has absolutely nothing to lose!!!
What do you think?
Am I wrong on this issue?
I might add that they even stop Ivan Court from speaking last night in the chambers. Orders from the Irvings? You tell moi???...lol

ONE OF MY HEROES HAS DIED!!!!!
I would mentioned her name often during a confrontation with the bureaucrats or the law!!! The system says this is the way it's going to be but once in a while someone like Rosa will say - NO!!!!!
May God Bless!!!!
Civil rights icon Rosa Parks dies at 92
Monday, October 24, 2005; Posted: 11:32 p.m. EDT (03:32 GMT)
(CNN) -- Rosa Parks, whose act of civil disobedience in 1955 inspired the modern civil rights movement, died Monday in Detroit, Michigan. She was 92.
Parks' moment in history began in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama.
Her arrest triggered a 381-day boycott of the bus system by blacks that was organized by a young Baptist minister, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (See video on an activist's life and times -- 2:52)
The boycott led to a court ruling desegregating public transportation in Montgomery, but it wasn't until the 1964 Civil Rights Act that all public accommodations nationwide were desegregated.
Parks' act of defiance came one year after the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision that led to the end of racial segregation in public schools.
She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1999.
Parks, facing regular threats and having lost her job, moved from Alabama to Detroit, Michigan, in 1957 and later joined the staff of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat.
Conyers, who first met Parks during the early days of the civil rights struggle, recalled Monday that she worked on his original congressional staff when he first was elected to the House of Representatives in 1964.
"I think that she, as the mother of the new civil rights movement, has left an impact not just on the nation, but on the world," he told CNN in a telephone interview. "She was a real apostle of the nonviolence movement."
He remembered her as someone who never raised her voice -- an eloquent voice of the civil rights movement.
"You treated her with deference because she was so quiet, so serene -- just a very special person," he said, adding that "there was only one" Rosa Parks.
Gregory Reed, a longtime friend and attorney, said Parks died between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. of natural causes. He called Parks "a lady of great courage."
Parks was the subject of the documentary "Mighty Times: The Legacy of Rosa Parks," which received a 2002 Oscar nomination for best documentary short.
In April, Parks and rap duo OutKast settled a lawsuit over the use of her name on a CD released in 1998. (Full story)
Bus boycott
She was born Rosa Louise McCauley in Tuskegee, Alabama, on February 4, 1913. Her marriage to Raymond Parks lasted from 1932 until his death in 1977.
Before her arrest in 1955, Parks was active in the voter registration movement and with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, where she also worked as a secretary in 1943.
At the time of her arrest, Parks was on her way home from work as a seamstress.
The 42-year-old woman took a seat in the front of the black section of a city bus in Montgomery. The bus filled up and the bus driver demanded that she move so a white male passenger could have her seat.
But Parks refused to give up her seat, and police arrested her. Four days later, Parks was convicted of disorderly conduct and fined $14.
That same day, a group of blacks founded the Montgomery Improvement Association and named King, the young pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, as its leader, and the bus boycott began.
For the next 381 days, blacks -- who according to Time magazine had comprised two-thirds of Montgomery bus riders -- boycotted public transportation to protest Parks' arrest and in turn the city's Jim Crow segregation laws.
The mass movement marked one of the largest and most successful challenges of segregation and helped catapult King to the forefront of the civil rights movement.
The boycott ended on November 13, 1956, after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that Montgomery's segregated bus service was unconstitutional.
May God Bless!!!!

ABEL IS TRULY ABLE!!!!
Here's a comment about Saint John MLA Abel LeBlanc!!
There is one exception to this story and I believe that to be Able LeBlanc. For years he fought in the trenches for organized labour and continues to do so today as an elected representative in Fredericton. There are many who can attest to his dogged determination in battles with the Workplace Health and Safety Commission, whether one was in a union or not. One simply had to ask. His door was and is always open.
I don't believe Mr.Graham really knew who he was inviting on board the good ship Liberal when he dropped the gangway for Able but I bet he wishes Able was walking the plank right now! LOL.
Able knows who sent him and why he was sent to Fredericton. To fight for Saint John and all the people, small and big.
Too bad we don't have a clone of Able, to run in Saint John Harbour!
Things might actually get done.

WILL CHARLES ATTITUDE CHANGE OF THE NEW BRUNSWICK HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION AFTER THIS WEEK????
This week will be an very interesting week for this blogger.
Have you noticed that I haven’t written any critical blogs about the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission during these pass few months???
Well, I filled in two complaints with the Commission and I believe they are good ones but I also had the same feeling 4 years ago.
We all know what happen there.
I’m just taking it day by day.
My first case is boarders and roomers rights.
The Fredericton police Department send me to their office.
You can read the past blog at target="_blank">Charles
Blog
During the weekend, I met the these two individuals on the streets.
I’m trying to encourage them to fill in a complaint with the Commission.
Especially this guy who was force to sh@t in a garbage bag.
The caretaker took his money. < $300.00 > and told him that he wasn’t allowed to use the washroom.
Of course, the Rentalman told me that boarders and roomers in this Province have no rights whatsoever.
This is the reason that Brad Green must make some changes in the tenants and Landlord act as soon as possible.
The act is the worst in Canada.
What will the Human Rights Commission say? Will they come out and say that they agree that roomers and boarders should be ignored???
Don’t worry the readers in this blog will be the first one to know.
The other case is a very emotional one.
I wrote a complaint with well over 2,000 words and it’s killing me not be able to blog it!!!! Especially since me mother is from Scotland. It's driving me crazy not to write about it!!
I already told a few people < MLA’S, media and bureaucrats > of the complaint and they shook their heads in disbelief.
Wait till you read this one???
All I will say that it has to do with these two Quebecers who run the Legislature in Fredericton.
I believe they crossed the line big times but we will let the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission decide on this issue.
I remember one day last year.
I bumped into Christian Whalen < Lawyer for the Commission >
He attended a disability Awareness ceremony.
I tapped him on the shoulder and asked him what was he doing here???
He told me that he represented the Commission.
I reminded the lawyer that the lawyer ordered the Government that people with ADHD are close to mental retardation so therefore he shouldn’t here!
He quickly fought back - Well. That’s what you say and turned his back on me.
Boy? That was a mistake!!!
I raised my voice and told the lawyer to never turn his back on me.
The people in the area knew that I was very upset!
Christian said - I’m praying Charles that the day will arrive that you will tapped us on the shoulder and say- You people do good work!
I told the lawyer that I don’t see this happening in the near future and the conversation came to a close.
Well? Lets see if my attitude will change after this week?
These are very good cases and the convicted thief Carl White has nothing to do with this one.
This is the reason that I love to be in the Capital because all the General are in this City! Lets see what that will say when I walk into their building this week?
There’s never a dull moment in the Capital!!!!

POWER OF THE BLOGGER!!!!!
Remember when I made a complaint to the BeaverBrook Hotel of the Canadian Flag????
SHOULD WOMEN BE ALLOWED IN THE PRIESTHOOD????
This is one issue I've never written about. It's raining hard outside so here we go.
As usual my Priest picked me up for church.
I love listening to this man speak the word of the Lord.
I have known him for 40 years and I know the sad day will arrive that he’ll no longer be doing this line of work. I pray every day that this will never happen!!!
So therefore I’m taking advantage of the situation in hand but this morning I got carried away.
During my protest, Father Brien would let me use his computer in his office between messes. He was the main force of my battle against the use of Ritalin.
For you long time readers? You remember how I used to write a daily update about my protest.
These last 10 months its been bloggling!!!
Ok….getting away from the story in hand.
He had a messe at 10:00am and quickly ran with his guitar to the French school for Sunday school.
He left the church at 10:55am and chatted with the kids in two different classes.
Then at 11:50am he ran to the church for the noon messe.
I always said that this priest has ADHD big times.
He’s full of energy and he used it well.
Last year, I decided to follow the Priest to Sunday school.
My God? My brain cells went back in time.

Anyway, after 10:am service, I would help him by carrying his guitar to the Sunday School classes.
I would sit in the back and listen.
Afterwards, I would carry the guitar to his vehicle and shake his hand goodbye.
I hope he had a good week. Trust me, the life of a Priest isn’t an easy one.
I learned a lot during these last few years.
This morning, it wasn’t raining so I didn’t bother bringing an umbrella with me.
After the messe was over we ran over the French school for Sunday School.
The Catholic Church has many volunteers who give their time to teach the children of the Catholic Religion.
I might add that they do a fine job.
But this morning was a little different.
We walked in the room and there was this woman preaching to around 30 kids.
We will call her -333!!!
In past practice the volunteers would stop talking and quickly turn the audience to the Priest.
But not this morning!!!
333 was walking around and preaching.
She made certain that she had the attention of the whole room.
Man was she ever good!!!!
I noticed that she even had the attention of Father Brien.
If 333 believe that a child wasn’t paying attention she would confront the individual head on!!!
I stood up and whispered in the Priest ear - And they don’t wish to ordain women in the Priesthood????
He smiled…lol….but seriously just for this time only. I wish the woman would have continued because she had my attention.
I confronted her afterwards and I was told she was a teacher.
I asked her how many kids in her class were on Ritalin.
Yes….even in Sunday School I’ll bring the issue of Ritalin…lol…no peace…
There’s no escape!!!..lol….
She didn’t really answer my question but she did tell me that she never had a problem with kids with ADHD!
I truly believe her because she had my attention 100%!!!
She was so good that I almost stayed behind and leave the priest alone.
Afterwards, it was still raining hard so I again went to a Messe in church!
Two Messes Services in one day????
The end of the world is near. I got carried away I guess????...lol
But seriously????
Should the Catholic religion allow women in the Priesthood???
After my little experience this morning? I say a big- OUI!!!!!
What’s your view on this issue????

update from our friend in the middle of Wilma!!!!
Hi: it is now 5 pm on saturday. the wind has subsided quite a bit, though we did have some 45 to 60 mile per hour gusts over the nighttime. wilma is now a category 2 hurricane, winds just over 100 mph. the direction is now to the north at 2 mph, so we have had the worst. for us it is now effectively over, the rest of today and tomorrow will be bands of storm crossing over, and by tomorrow nght it should be over for us completely.
we have had no problems, the building is fine, no floods, even the electricity stayed on the whole time. we havebeen lucky, thanks be to all the candles lit for us.
progreso is having a fun holiday. the malecon is lined with families and tourists from merida playing on the edge of the water and just watching the waves. most of the businesses and offices are closed, it is a great holiday!!
the coast of quintana roo is devastated, even if it is hard to get information about anything outside of cozumel and cancun. we are now looking to see what, if anything, we can do to help the ordinary people of the area. they will be a long time recovering from this, and the damage from emily has not even been finished repairing.
please keep those people in your prayers, they will need it!!
thanks
david, ivonne and abigail
