Do tell Has CBC just figured out that Gallant and his mindless cohorts are stunned?
Mack Leigh
I suspect that Gallant and
his cronies have the jitters over far more than our exports. Gallant and
his crew of bandits should be shaking in their boots over the upcoming
2018 election. The people of this province are fed up with the
corruption, scandals, non-transparency, non-accountability, preferential
treatment of the " Elites " and the time is now for change. As
President Elect Trump so succinctly stated it is now time to " Drain the
Swamp " in this province !!!!!
David Raymond Amos
@Mack Leigh I agree
Jim Wortman
@Mack Leigh ...totally
agree..The US voters demonstrated their dissatisfaction with the status
quo and that is where the Gallant worry should be focused. Sept 2018
will see a similar demonstration from NB voters when they give Kent
Austin and the PA a serious look
David Raymond Amos
@Mack Leigh Whereas Gallant
is so stunned about Trump's success at the polls. He really should seek
true enlightenment from his federal buddy Prime Minister Trudeau "The
Younger" and his Ministers who are tasked with the job of dealing with
other countries?
Methinks if Gallant and his minions were not so stunned they would read the old document of mine that CBC published for mean old me within their comment section yesterday then seek the council of the mindless Wayne Easter ASAP N'esy Pas?

Now is definitely NOT the
time to implement the liberal carbon TAX grab, to do it with Trump in
power would spell disaster for Canadian business. NB needs a change in
leadership not a puppet of the federal liberals. BTW Trump cares less if
any business is conducted in French so no need to support bilingualism
any longer, just something else the province can't afford.
@Mario Doucet Oh So True
Rick Aubie
And well he should! This
province has been subsidizing the Irving's and other industries with our
money for years. This may be one way to end the corporate welfare, not
only direct cash but power deals where it's sold back at a loss to NB
Power, and all the crooked forestry deals and let's not forget all the
taxes they don't pay by registering shell companies offshore. Let them
fall, someone will pick up the pieces and remember, without workers
there is no Irving, so who really needs who?
David Raymond Amos
@Rick Aubie I remember you.
The question CBC and I should have is that truly your name? Although
what you state is true, its spoken just like the sneaky Union/NDP dude
that you no doubt are. N'esy Pas Premier Gallant, David Coon and Blaine
Higgs?
Rick Aubie
@David Raymond Amos You Sir
know didl'y squat about me or little else from anything I've read or
listened to on audio from or about you.

@Rick Aubie Now that was a rather telling thing N'esy Pas?
CBC protects the nasty Carnival King as it blocks my response to your insult obviously because I mentioned my on going law suit in Federal Court in Fat Fred City. However the unionized employees within CBC do not block me when I slam their boss and one of his fellow lawyers who also happens to be the Governor General daughter? Don't tell me that CBC is non partisan after it illegally denied I ran in 5 elections while every corrupt cop in New Brunswick either attacked me or ignored me..
Methinks that I have every right to post within a website financed by my tax dollars. I do have very valid reasons to think that you may be one of the many very corrupt unionized cops in Fat Fred City who has been harassing me on the Internet ever since I first ran for a seat in Parliament in 2004..
What say you now Officer Aubie? CBC and you cops know as well as I am mirroring this news article and all the comments warts and all within my blog about my law suit. Correct?

@Rick Aubie BTW last year
when i embarrassed you as the "Carnival King" you quickly deleted your
comments and the thread disappeared as well EH CBC?.Hence I must mirror
lots of things I do with CBC now.
This year when you registered with a name that I don't believe is yours. I Googled it immediately and saw this comment in another website financed by the Crown. Fo figure why I suspect that you are a corrupt cop attacking people on the Internet.

@Rick Aubie Methinks that in
the end you will be the one who wants into a rubber room. There is one
thing the Crown Corp CBC, Premier Gallant, the cops in Fredericton and
and even Trump's local # 1 fanboy Chucky Leblanc know for certain. It
is that Ii do not use lawyers to litigate against the Crown etc like
their Native and French friends do.

The other Crown Corp known as the RCMP knows for a fact that I am quite diligent at figuring out who has been stalking my family and I on the Internet.

mr. Coon might do well to remember what just happened in the American election.
People get angry when they have lost their homes or lost sense of community. Some have lost their jobs to technology or changed their surroundings in ways that cause distress and disorientation.
Mr. Coon seems to suggest the American election was all about xenophobia and racism and sexism. He also seems to suggest climate change is the most important thing and worries about a Climate accord more than traditional jobs in NB.
The unemployed of white America just voted for change that runs contrary to a philosophy of Climate Change being more important than families and jobs.
Many in New Brunswick have no futures . They watch politicians talk about education and duality and put up with deteriorating health care.
And I suspect they would resent Someone telling them Climate Change agreements have priority over jobs and familiy incomes .
And I also suspect many unemployed New BRunswickers would vote TRUMP if he came to NB and campaigned to make NB GREAT again.

@Colin Seeley The United
States unemployment rate is under ten percent. And half of voters voted
for him. Its not the homeless or poor who voted for Trump, they don't
vote at all.
I suspect Mr. Coon is playing up to his Fredericton constituency that got him elected, those are the only ones he need be concerned about. No doubt the election was 'partly' about those things, but people have to remember that we are talking about a country where southern states didn't want a federal government at all, let alone one that can overrule them.
Given that Clinton got more votes its not accurate to state that anything represents the american people, just like a liberal majority in canada doesn't say anything about canadians, but only our electoral system. And from most we've seen its just another one of those 'sending a message' kind of votes.
But anybody who thinks Trump is any different might want to take a look at who he chose as his 'transition team'. Its sadly tragic that a guy many thought was going to 'drain the swamp' picked a bunch of corporate lobbyists to select his administration.

CBC block it as I post the awful truth of what went down in the mirror
of this news article about the stunned Premier Gallant within my blog EH
Mikey?
You said something about the the homeless or poor folks. Well you know as well as I have been homeless and poor since 2005 after I ran in the election of the 38th Parliament. It was about at that time that you gave the welfare bum Chucky Leblanc his first digital camera to use in his first blog. However I gave Chucky Baby his first computer in June of 2004 Correct?
You talk of Davey Baby Coon playing up to his Fredericton constituency and that is true. However you may wish to recall in 2004 Coon was being sued with a SLAPP lawsuit by the Yankee company Bennett and they were using Franky Boy's Mckenna's law firm McInnes and Cooper the same law firm Chucky is arguing now. Well when I sent Coon the file that CBC allowed to be published elsewhere today. the lawsuit went away and Coon to me to go to Hell. Go figure why I am pissed off.

Donald Trump's election win fuels export anxiety in New Brunswick
Premier Brian Gallant urges Ottawa to press free trade case with the United States
By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Nov 09, 2016 4:48 PM AT
The morning after Trump at the legislature
1:16
New Brunswick politicians were as stunned as anyone else by Donald Trump's win in the U.S. presidential election.
But the Republican victory was particularly bracing in a province where 92 per cent of exports go to the United States, thanks to Trump's campaign condemnation of free trade.
"In my case, I didn't sleep very well," Premier Brian Gallant told reporters on Wednesday morning, the day after Trump defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Gallant said he was alarmed by a lot of Trump's rhetoric, but said he was most concerned by the president-elect's commitment to demand changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement.
New Brunswick is Canada's most export-dependent province, Gallant said. Opportunities New Brunswick says 92 per cent of the province's $12 billion in exports go to the United States.
The premier said Canada needs to lobby the new administration to demonstrate that free trade benefits both countries. He said nine million U.S. jobs rely on trade with Canada.
"I think it's incumbent on all of us to make sure that we communicate that to the Americans as much as possible," Gallant said.
"We're hopeful that president-elect Trump, now that he will have to govern, will start to look at these facts and say, 'I have to make sure that I create economic growth in the U.S., I have to make sure I create jobs.'"
A more protectionist U.S. administration could also spell trouble for the forestry industry, Gallant said.
Canada's been trying for more than a year to negotiate a new softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. The previous version of the deal exempted Maritime lumber from any American trade penalties.
But the Canadian government has so far not been able to reach a deal with the Obama administration, with Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland attributing that in part to rising anti-trade sentiment in the U.S.
Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs said he is also worried about the softwood lumber issue and trade in general.
"I'd like to think a lot of conversations held during that whole campaign of a year and a half or more was a lot of rhetoric and a lot of hype, and when it gets right down to it, it won't be so negative for a country like ours that's a major trading partner," he said.
Higgs, who grew up on the St. Croix River, just a few hundred feet
from the U.S. border, said the election result showed an appetite for
political change, citing Trump's attacks on immigrants and Muslims.
"He couldn't have said much more, in terms of some of the language and how certain groups were discussed, and yet people still supported that," Higgs said. "The outcome certainly demonstrated that people supported change and seemed to vote for it regardless of anything else."
Higgs even said it would be "a challenge" for him to choose between Clinton and Trump if he were an American voter, because it would be difficult "to separate the rhetoric from what's real."
David Coon, the Green Party leader, was the only politician to raise Trump's win on the floor of the legislature.
"Canada is strongly anchored in values that stand in opposition to
sexism, racism, xenophobia and climate denial exhibited by Donald
Trump," Coon said.
He told reporters Trump's promise to withdraw from the Paris climate change agreement will hurt the accord, but he said he believes Canada should and will go ahead with implementing the deal regardless.
Conservative MLA Jody Carr told CBC News that his 10-year-old asked him how someone like Trump "could be so mean during the day and sleep at night in such a nice house, like The White House."
Meanwhile, Saint John Mayor Don Darling used Twitter to suggest
that Americans distraught over the Trump victory could move to his city.

Fears for forest industry
"Making sure we have a solid free trade agreement, and a free flow of products and services between our two nations, is one way to do that."A more protectionist U.S. administration could also spell trouble for the forestry industry, Gallant said.

Higgs hopeful it was just hype
Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs said he is also worried about the softwood lumber issue and trade in general.
"I'd like to think a lot of conversations held during that whole campaign of a year and a half or more was a lot of rhetoric and a lot of hype, and when it gets right down to it, it won't be so negative for a country like ours that's a major trading partner," he said.
Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs
shares the premier's concerns about trade, but says choosing between
Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton would have been 'challenging.'
"He couldn't have said much more, in terms of some of the language and how certain groups were discussed, and yet people still supported that," Higgs said. "The outcome certainly demonstrated that people supported change and seemed to vote for it regardless of anything else."
A challenging choice for Tory
Higgs even said it would be "a challenge" for him to choose between Clinton and Trump if he were an American voter, because it would be difficult "to separate the rhetoric from what's real."

Darling said in an interview the tweet wasn't meant to be
tongue-in-cheek and he would be looking at ways to let U.S. citizens
know that they'd be welcomed in the city, which was founded by Loyalists
fleeing the American Revolution.
"I'm a mayor that ran on a mandate of growth," he said. "I'd like to make sure Saint John, New Brunswick, is on their radar."
