11 ridings to watch in the New Brunswick election
The New Brunswick election could be close with 5 parties hoping to gain seats on Monday
· CBC News · Posted: Sep 23, 2018 3:30 PM ATKent North
The riding was won by the Liberals in 2014, but Bertrand LeBlanc decided not to reoffer in this campaign.
Liberal candidate Emery Comeau is trying to hold onto the riding, but the Greens are hoping that Kevin Arseneau may be able to break through.
The Greens placed second in the riding in 2014, so there is a base of support for the party in the riding. Arseneau is a former president of the Acadian society and he had wanted to run for the Liberals in the riding. However, the Liberals did not approve his candidacy, so Arseneau switched to the Greens.
The Greens gave Arseneau's campaign a boost in the final days of the campaign by sending environmentalist David Suzuki to his riding.

Kevin Arseneau sera candidat à l'investiture libérale dans Kent-Nord
Moins d'un jour après avoir annoncé sa démission en
tant que président de la Société de l'Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick
(SANB), Kevin Arseneau fait savoir qu'il sera candidat à l'investiture
libérale dans la circonscription de Kent Nord, en vue des élections
d'octobre 2018.
M.
Arseneau n'a pas été approché par le parti libéral, mais il affirme que
des résidents de la circonscription l'ont encouragé à se présenter.Critique des libéraux
Il a milité, dans le passé, pour le Parti vert et s'est montré fort critique des libéraux dans certains dossiers, notamment lorsqu'ils ont défait un projet de loi qui aurait donné la préférence aux aliments locaux dans les établissements publics.
À titre de président de la SANB également, il a été critique envers le gouvernement Gallant sur des questions comme le financement du bureau provincial du commissaire aux langues officielles.
Malgré tout, il croit qu'il a sa place au sein du parti. « Je crois que c’est la meilleure place pour contribuer à faire avancer ma communauté actuellement. »
Il précise que les valeurs qu'il a défendues jusqu'ici demeurent siennes, comme le respect de l'environnement, le développement rural - il est copropriétaire d'une ferme dans la région de Rogersville - et la qualité de l'éducation, de la petite enfance jusqu'au niveau postsecondaire.
Contre l'épandage de glyphosate, Énergie Est
Il n'a pas l'intention, s'il est choisi candidat, puis député libéral, de suivre une ligne de parti stricte.
« [...] J’ai complètement l’intention de demeurer moi-même, de parler franchement. Y’a des décisions que je suis encore pas d’accord avec chez les libéraux. L’environnement reste un enjeu important pour moi, le glyphosate, je m’oppose à ça [...] Énergie Est, je crois qu’il y a d’autres façons de développer l’économie donc j’ai l’intention d’aller là et de continuer à être moi-même. »
Tout comme Bernard Richard, il estime appartenir au courant plus progressiste du parti. « Je me considère de l’héritage de Louis Robichaud », lance-t-il.
Le député actuel de Kent-Nord, Bertrand LeBlanc, a annoncé qu'il ne se représenterait pas aux prochaines élections.
La date de l'assemblée d'investiture de cette circonscription n'est pas encore connue. Le directeur général de l'Association libérale du Nouveau-Brunswick, Pete Belliveau, précise par courriel « qu'un certain nombre de personnes sont intéressées à briguer l'investiture dans [Kent-Nord] », mais que personne jusqu'ici - y compris Kevin Arseneau - n'a déposé de formulaire de candidature.
Kevin Arseneau était président de la SANB depuis octobre dernier. L'organisme de défense des intérêts des Acadiens doit annoncer une présidence intérimaire dans les prochaines heures.
https://ici.radio-canada.ca/
Expulsé puis réadmis à l'Assemblée législative : Kevin Arseneau ne regrette rien
Kevin Arseneau, le nouveau président de la Société
de l'Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick (SANB), dit qu'il pourrait refaire un
geste comme celui qui lui avait valu d'être expulsé et interdit de
séjour à l'Assemblée législative, à Fredericton.
Au
moment de l'incident, en avril 2015, il se trouvait dans la tribune de
l'Assemblée législative en tant que membre de l'Union nationale des
fermiers. Il s'est adressé publiquement aux députés durant leurs
travaux, ce qui est interdit. Il explique avoir agi ainsi après avoir
tenté pendant des mois et sans succès d'avoir une discussion avec son
député et d'autres intervenants au sujet du projet de loi du Parti vert
sur l'alimentation locale.« J'étais extrêmement déçu. Donc, je me suis levé debout et j'ai rappelé à certains députés avec qui j'ai déjà parlé les engagements qu'ils avaient pris envers moi et envers les fermiers lorsqu'ils étaient en train de voter contre ce projet de loi », a souligné Kevin Arseneau en entrevue à l'émission Le réveil Nouveau-Brunswick, d'ICI Acadie.
L'agriculteur militant est devenu président de la SANB le 23 octobre dernier. Il croit toujours que son geste à l'Assemblée législative était nécessaire.
Cette journée-là, si c'était à refaire, je le referais probablement parce qu'il y avait des choses qui devaient être dites, et lorsque le peuple appelle les députés et qu'on ignore les gens pour des raisons purement idéologiques [...] les gens prennent la parole là où ils peuvent.Le président de la Chambre, Chris Collins, a envoyé récemment une lettre à Kevin Arseneau pour lui annoncer que sa présence était à nouveau autorisée à l'Assemblée législative.
« Dans le cadre de vos nouvelles fonctions en tant que président de la Société de l'Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick, vous représentez un large segment de la population du Nouveau-Brunswick. Par conséquent, en vertu des pouvoirs qui me sont conférés en tant que président de l'Assemblée législative et avec vos nouvelles fonctions, j'ai décidé de faire une exception et d'annuler votre interdiction de séjour », peut-on lire dans la lettre de Chris Collins à Kevin Arseneau.
Les députés du Nouveau-Brunswick entreprennent mercredi après-midi une nouvelle session de travaux législatifs. Kevin Arseneau sera présent, mais les députés n'ont pas à craindre de sa part un nouveau geste d'éclat. « Aujourd'hui, on va écouter le discours du Trône et on commentera par après », dit-il.

A Fool with a Trumpet
No matter how many times a salesperson tells you that a pair of shoes look great and you should buy them, it doesn’t change the fact they hurt your feet.
In the fall of 2016, ex Premier Gallant presented a speech to the Chamber of Commerce in Saint John trumpeting how great bilingualism is. Today in his last speech in the legislature he states “ he is sorry he did not acknowledge that many NBers feel left behind by it”.

Just like those shoes, there
are some problems with bilingualism and simply running around the
province telling Anglophones that their concerns are not real, doesn’t
fix it. You would not go back to that shoe salesman and we didn’t go
back to Gallant.
Now, those shoes may be altered to fit by stretching or adding an insole, just as bilingualism can be altered a bit to give fair treatment to both linguistic communities but it ain’t goin to happen till you acknowledge the problem. Gallant couldn’t do it because he couldn’t set aside his bias and that would require leadership qualities.
Just like with certain serious health issues, you can only ignore the symptoms for so long. Don’t be surprised if Higgs and company continue to ignore Anglophone concerns just as the Liberals have, however, the consequences of that in the next election will likely push them to a third or fourth place party.
Higgs and Austin really should appoint a royal commission to review bilingualism. Make it honest and transparent. Don’t drag it on for years either. Six months and done.
We demand a bilingualism that ensures a place for the Anglophone community. It better happen or the Conservatives are going to find themselves a party of little significance after the next election.

N.B. , a province lacking leadership.
The paramedic fiasco has become a tragedy as a result of a super stubborn determination by a Gallant Liberal government to maintain a language position above anything including public safety.
Their policy seems to have become as follows;

Their policy seems to have become as follows;
“ a bilingual ambulance attendant on each ambulance or no ambulance at all.”
AND
“ no use of translation devices under any circumstance”
It is a shocking and a clear declaration that sometimes lives may need to be placed at risked because of the perceived importance of language and language laws. No doubt there are other issues as well. All of which takes leadership that we have not and do not have from Gallant and company.
This situation has festered now for much too long which demonstrates the lack of leadership with this Gallant government. This is the same individual that is in a state of desperation trying to hang on to power.
Real leadership would have acted long before this with a sense of urgency. The people of New Brunswick desperately need Higgs and Austin in position to fix this mess.

Will a minority government bring balance and fairness?
Now that we are in a new dawn in New Brunswick politics , it’s not going to be business as usual for the Higgs government. The Gallant government has been spending $40 million less per year on the Anglophone education system, that’s approx $1411 per student less in relation to the funding of the Francophone system.
So they need to bump up the spending for the Anglophone system by about $90 million in order create an equal amount per child. If they chose to continue this discrimination against our children and grand children , there is going to be a price to pay.

Because of the nature of the minority environment in the legislature,
the Green and Alliance parties are going to share responsibility for
correcting this injustice to the youth of our English speaking community
through their public vote on the budget.
New Brunswick has one of the worst literacy rates in the country. Smaller class sizes, more teaching assistance, more teachers, assistance with learning disabilities all could go a long way to improve this. The Gallant government’s blatant discrimination in funding is soon over.
We’ll be forwarding the information to the three parties with a reminder that we shall hold them accountable should the budget not contain fairness and balance in the funding of our youth.

Accountability in intergovernmental agreements for education
For more than 40 years, the Government of Canada has offered financial support to the provinces and territories to help them provide second-language instruction programs and fulfill their obligations with respect to minority-language education.
Every five years, the Government of Canada renew and sign the Protocol for Agreements for Minority-Language Education and Second-Language Instruction with the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada.
Following the signing of the Protocol, bilateral agreements are concluded with all provincial and territorial governments.
These agreements total more than
$235 million annually ($148.7 million for education in minority-language education and $86.8 million for second-language instruction).
It’s seems this may be in addition to the 2.7 billion Roadmap to Linguistic Duality program.
Lot of money in light of our debt, healthcare and literacy issues.

I want my Anglophone community to adopt a new approach toward “duality”.
The English speaking community needs to respect the Francophone community’s wish to separate themselves from us in education. You cannot make a forced integration work.

Interesting approach by SANB
We offered to meet with SANB in a private meeting to discuss their concerns and ours on the current language situation in the province.They turned it down.
My suggestion now is that the Francophones need someone they trust as an arbitrator to address their concerns. That arbitrator should be willing to hear our views as well.

One name that comes to mind is Frank McKenna. Not sure though, if he would be objective and willing to listen to both sides.
We just need cooler heads to prevail and sit down and have a sensible honest discussion. We have tried and been turned down. So someone respected by the Francophone community and willing to listen to our concerns is needed.

A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.
Dalai Lama
The distrust and insecurity in the province today is the result of decades of hidden agendas. The exclusion of the English community from discussions on the amendments to the official languages act in 2012-13 has turned out to symbolize a concerted effort to exclude and ignore the concerns of the Anglophone community.

You would think that if the concerns of the English community are
without justification that Gallant and Coon would be anxious to engage
and show the public the facts that prove us wrong. Instead they chose to
ignore in an effort to marginalize us and send the message that we are
not worthy of recognition.
Since the election , we are seeing a significant rise in people contacting us to join the ARA. It is just more of that rising tide of discontent. There is absolutely no way in the world that the demand for an honest address of our concerns is going to go away by simply being ignored.
The reason it will not go away is , first , because the concerns and issues are real and true. And secondly, the main stream media has lost its ability to control the information getting to the people.
Gallant gave a speech in Saint John in September of 2016 on the topic of bilingualism in which he acknowledged that there is an increased tension between the two linguistic communities. He blamed that on the internet, where radicals ( those who dare question the application of bilingualism) were able to put out their message.
He was right, the internet is an avenue of information that is not controllable like the main stream media has been. So those like Gallant have a problem , their agenda can no longer escape scrutiny and the English issues are much harder to ignore.
Real leaders would just step up in an honest attitude and say “ let’s hear your concerns and we’ll see what can be done”. No, can’t do that. So the frustration continues to grow and they are surprised by it. It’s called arrogant, gutless, dishonest leadership.
The tension Gallant refers to is just going to grow without honest fair address. For those that want status quo, rest assured , it can’t last.

Let us maintain our civility while all those around us lose theirs.
We of the Anglophone Rights Organization (ARA) need to rise above the emotion of the political up roar going on in the province today. Our objective is to have our issues heard. It will happen but not in an environment controlled by the main stream media. We can’t allow that.
So to our members, please keep your emotions in check. We don’t need stupid things said out of emotional responses to negative things stated by others in the French speaking community. Remember, most Francophones are just regular folks like us. So now is the time for us to rise above any name calling.

The
actions and statements of Gallant and his gang (Party) shows a great
disrespect for the Anglophone community. Their goal is to ignore us , to
insinuate that our issues are invalid and to continue to place
Francophone concerns ahead of ours.
Know that we are pushing forward. Discontent is rising within the English speaking community over barriers to employment and over lack of consultation, over government favouritism in spending and service provision. The leadership of the Francophone community is content to try to push us down, to discredit our concerns but history shows that it never succeeds for long. The anger within the Anglophone community will just continue to rise.
Let me repeat for the millionth time, our basic principles:
• We advocate for a fair and equitable application of bilingualism
• A fair proportional share of jobs, government spending and services.
• Government consultation on all issues affecting the English speaking community.
We are guided by these principles and we are ready to sit down and discuss our issues in a sensible , calm and professional manner. We do not want to participate in the present emotional chaos and we will wait till the dust settles and will then be ready to sit down with who ever is mature enough to respect us.

We have a number of legitimate issues with the application of bilingualism but
it turns out that “ bilingualism” is so sacred that no discussion is allowed. Is it so fragile that it cannot be examined?
We have a number of legitimate issues with the application of bilingualism but
it turns out that “ bilingualism” is so sacred that no discussion is allowed. Is it so fragile that it cannot be examined?
The leadership of the Francophone community is very fearful of any
discussion of bilingualism because they do not trust us. In their minds,
our sole purpose is push back what they have gained. So in order to
protect this program they automatically circle the wagons and defend any
criticism with cries of “bigot” but that is getting old now.
The truth is that we do have legitimate concerns. By ignoring this and surpressing any criticism of bilingualism , it just fuels a building backlash within the English community.
Of course, those of this backlash are attracted to a party that acknowledges their legitimate concerns. If the program were easily defended, you would think French leadership would sit down and explain the so called misconceptions rather than yell bigot, bigot.
Sadly, Francophones’ lack of trust in us is mirrored in our English community’s lack of trust in the Francophone community. Overcoming this on both sides is the key to linguistic resolution.

Does it have to be this way?
What is the difference between a French speaking person and an English one? If you remove the language factor, what is the difference really? The answer, is just trivial stuff, unimportant stuff , the stuff of tradition, the stuff of culture, the stuff that is unimportant to you in your final hours, things like fashion and customs etc.
We can agree on that, but soon we fall back into the same old tug of war. Us and them. Arguing nonsense about grievances up to 300 years old. When will we ever learn? We won’t. It’s in the DNA of the human species to gather up into tribes and try to dominate the next tribe over.

We are not out to screw the French speaking community, instead, we want proportional sharing by ratio of population.
* 68% of jobs governed by the Official Languages Act at all levels, (plus or minus a reasonable variable)
* 68% of the funding dedicated to healthcare ( plus or minus a practical amount) ,
* 68% of the funding for Education ( plus or minus a reasonable variable),
* Agreement on curriculum of language testing, recording of language tests, third party verification of language tests, rewrite of failed tests.
* 68% of the government funding of culture
* Recognition that a lot of our people will never be bilingual and we do not accept that as a result , they must leave.
* 68% of the jobs as paramedics, firefighters, police, nurses, civil servants, etc.
* Consultation on issues that affect us.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, we just want our fair share , that’s all.
We don’t want French people and companies coming here taking jobs from our children and grand children simply because they speak French.
No, It doesn’t have to the way it is.

The definition and the strategy of “fair”
Everyone of us have experienced circumstance where we felt unfairly treated. We automatically know the definition. It usually is a comparison of our treatment with the treatment of someone else where we receive less under similar circumstances.
During the establishment of ARA, it was decided that the basis of our basic principles was to be “fairness”. There were two reasons for that. First, it makes argument against us very difficult. Secondly, it is the only way to get a lasting resolution between the English and French communities. We have had literally hundreds of years of conflict between the two communities. We have to try to resolve that long term. Fairness has too be the key.

At some point , our ARA , the SANB and the presiding government will
need to sit down and establish a fair resolution. That then brings in
the meaning of “fair”.
A lot of people may not be aware that most of the Francophone leadership believe that because the Francophone community is only 32%, (a minority) they must have more than a fair share.
Judge Bastarache made a ruling that for the Francophone minority to be treated fairly “ equal is not necessarily equal”.
So when we see that the Francophone community receives $40 million more per year for their education system, they think that is fair. Where Francophones have their court challenges to language laws paid for by government and we don’t , they feel that is fair. Where they get $80 million per year from the Federal government for “minority support” and we get none for “majority support, they think that is fair. When we see the civil service is over 47% Francophone and increasing while they are only 32 % of the general population, they think that is fair.
So at some point we will have to decide if we need to continue to acquiesce to this imbalance in order to keep the peace or does the Francophone community need to change.
You would think that the money allotted to educate our children would be the distributed equally per child whether in the French system or English but that’s not case.
There is an old cliche “ fair is fair”. Today that is not necessarily so. That is our challenge in coming to resolution with our Francophone neighbours.

A window into Francophone thinking.
We have said all along there is a distinction between the Francophone leadership and “everyday common Francophone folks” with whom we really have more in common than we have differences.
The following is a short piece by a member of the Francophone leadership. It is about four years old. It will give you a little glimpse into how our opposition thinks. It’s about French people coming here.

In this case , it shows two interesting points; one about us ( the
English speaking community) and another about the image of New
Brunswick
First that we are out on “ a horrible task” to assimilate them as though there is some planned conspiracy by us to do so. Secondly, this is not a place to come and speak English. That reveals their (the Francophone leadership) lack of belief in bilingualism.
So here it is:
Many French people who come to settle here find it very difficult to fully integrate. What’s worse, some become anglophone allies in the horrible task of our assimilation.
Unfortunately, some of our French friends who come to settle here act like “colonizers.” They don’t want to integrate into the Acadian community of “unfit, uncultured North American human beasts.”
. These people feel it’s better to integrate into the English-speaking community, of course for economic reasons. For instance, some – and not just anybody either – send their children to English school.
Going about things this way can be seen as an insult and affront to the Acadian community. It goes beyond stubbornness; it’s totally unacceptable and revolting. If these people want to live in English and raise their children in English, they should move to England, Australia, the United States or elsewhere in Canada.
Author - Jean-Marie Nadeau is an Acadian activist and former NDP candidate. He is currently president of the Société de l'Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick.
This article was about four years ago, apparently he is now running for Dave Coon in the Green Party. Interesting eh.

We’re sick and tired of this. You should be too.
This from our Liberal government. They are cute enough to state “both official languages” but who is the focus on?
While our people have legitimate concerns about the consequences of the language laws we face, what do they focus on?

Program on the Provision of Official-Language Services 2014-2018 (POLS)
Overview
The Program on the Provision of Official-Language Services (POLS):
• Is designed first and foremost to support initiatives that allow the provincial government to improve services in French and to contribute to the equality of the two official linguistic communities;
• Recognizes the priority role of the provincial government and its departments in the delivery of services in both official languages while calling upon community organizations and structures to support the government in its objectives.
This orientation satisfies the requirements of the Canada-New Brunswick Agreement on the Provision of French-Language Services. Among other things, it seeks to develop a more strategic approach and to provide the means with which to measure the effectiveness of the activities selected.
The Government Plan on Official Languages seeks to address some of the community’s priorities as identified in the Plan de développement global de l’Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick (Société de l’Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick), when these priorities take the form of structuring initiatives that meet the government’s priorities as well.
The next government plan on official languages and the next Acadian New Brunswick global development plan, to be developed following the Acadian convention, held in October 2014, will be similarly aligned.

The reason we’re in debt and how to fix it.
The provincial government is over 14 billion dollars in debt. When a government is elected , it’s because they received money and support from numerous people. Once elected , there is an obligation there.
The province’s financial system including budgeting is intentionally flawed so that elected parties can find ways to repay their supporters. There is no accountability. Any blatant payback spending can only come to light after the fact.
The provincial government is over 14 billion dollars in debt. When a government is elected , it’s because they received money and support from numerous people. Once elected , there is an obligation there.
The province’s financial system including budgeting is intentionally flawed so that elected parties can find ways to repay their supporters. There is no accountability. Any blatant payback spending can only come to light after the fact.
To correct that, it is important to legislate control on what is called
“discretionary spending”. That is where parties are able to spend off
the cuff, supposedly to meet unexpected expenses and opportunities.
That’s got to go.
If a couple were having a tough time meeting the bills, they would likely sit down and try to figure a way to reduce debt and set up a written plan on how to do that, commonly referred to as a budget. If the husband were to come home one day ready to borrow money to build a new garage despite their financial hard ship, there would likely be opposition there to such a plan. That’s called accountability and discipline. Not so with a majority government.
To change the process so as to bring in accountability and discipline, the legislation must be changed to institute more power to the official opposition. First, the yearly provincial budget must always be within 10% of balance.
Once a budget is approved in the legislature, any extension over the approved amounts on department line item totals would need opposition approval. No discretionary spending without opposition approval.
The auditor general’s report would require official response of corrective action taken and a vote on approval of the response taken in the legislature requiring a 60% majority affirmation.
A digital accountability system must be put in place where all MLAs can see all department line item spending in real time. No more sneaky backdoor give aways.
It could be done but..........

English Speaking Liberals, authors of their own demise.

It is really sad that good well meaning English speaking folks are caught up in this deplorable Liberal organization. They will need to answer to their families one day. Walk away, find a party that will stand up for fairness for both French and English. Join the ARA as well. Unite for a better future for your families. (Email anglophonerights@mail.com for info)

The day after the election will mark the end of democracy for four years.
A party getting a majority has no checks and balances for four years. That’s the reality the English speaking community faces. With the review and amendments to the Official Languages Act due in 2021, a Gallant Liberal government or a Volpe/ D’astous Conservative government will be very generous in greasing the skids under the English speaking community. If you thought d’Entremont had too much influence, babababy you ain’t seen nothin yet.

If you thought d’Entremont had too much influence, babababy you ain’t seen nothin yet.
And you’re thinking “ah that wouldn’t happen”. Think again. Why did
over half a million English speakers leave the townships of Quebec in
the late 70’s and early 80’s? Because they were subjected to Bill101 , a
restrictive language law. Even today, a recent poll declares that 60%
of young Anglophones want out of Quebec.
So open your eyes English speaking New Brunswick. Of course, the Liberals and Conservatives are capable of negative actions toward the English speaking community. It’s been on going for heavens sake, wake up.
And who shall stop them? We have no mechanism in our governmental system to deal with abuse of power from a majority government. It is a flaw in our political system.
As an example, was there democracy in the Gallant’s government raising of the HST? No one could stop that.
Mr. Higgs has committed that the ARA will be at the table on any discussions pertaining to language and culture if elected. Will we see that in the platform?
We only practice democracy one day every four years. So be very careful with your vote on September 24 th.

They were responsible for the expulsion in 1755 and they have had lots of chance to learn French but they haven’t. Just ask Dave Coon.
To hell with the English.
They were responsible for the expulsion in 1755 and they have had lots of chance to learn French but they haven’t. Just ask Dave Coon.
Furthermore, they are the majority, they have everything. It’s nonsense that they are discriminated against.
Their so called “issues” might look legitimate but when you look closer it’s just that they are anti French.
How dare the English question bilingualism. It’s in the constitution.
They just want to infringe on Francophone minority rights.
All the English seem to care about is money. They don’t care if the French culture survives. So what if the government spends a couple of hundred $million less on them. They don’t have to worry about being assimilated.
Judge Bastarache said it best; sometimes “equal” is not equal. Gallant understands that, Higgs understands that, now the English community has to accept that.

All the English seem to care about is money. They don’t care if the French culture survives. So what if the government spends a couple of hundred $million less on them. They don’t have to worry about being assimilated.
Judge Bastarache said it best; sometimes “equal” is not equal. Gallant understands that, Higgs understands that, now the English community has to accept that.
"He
told me personally he doesn't want to change anything and he wants to
fight for our rights," he said. "If I had any doubt in my soul that he
was not going to respect me as a francophone, or me as an Acadian, I
would never have ran for him."

How do English speaking Liberals justify their party?
Perhaps one of the most important elections in 58 years is nearing. There is danger in it for the English community. Unfortunately, much of the English community are unaware.
The importance of language and the consequences of language laws and policies in the job market, is the absolute most important issue for English New Brunswick. Yet many are ignorant of the closing door to the job market for their children and grand children.

Complicit in maintaining this ignorance is the media and the political
parties. Interestingly, the Irving media has recently broken step with
the status quo and questioned the sacred program called “bilingualism”.
They would not have done so without the approval of the Irving family so
perhaps this signals a change in their thinking.
In terms of the Liberals , their treatment of Wayne Grant ( the commissioner at the legislature) illustrates their lack of concern and empathy not only for Wayne but for the English community. Their discrimination against English speaking citizens in the Paramedic occupation again illustrates their willingness to see the English community pushed out. The fact that Gallant has done so and that his cabinet is majority Francophone brings in a question of bias.
In Gallant’s recent review of his government’s progress in implementing d’Entremont’s version of bilingualism in the civil service , he brags that most of the ministers are Francophone. The Liberal government has been pushing forward in their effort to Frenchify the 328 senior management jobs in the civil service which has been a constant demand in d’Entremont’s annual reports.
Gallant has gleefully declared that duality in the school bus system has been maintained under his administration. This illustrates his belief in the segregation of French and English children in the bus system. He and his cabinet need to come up with legislation to ensure French and English kids don’t play together on the weekends.
The Gallant government is proceeding with its process of bilingualizing the civil service by designating over 70% of jobs as bilingual. Who shall take these jobs if not the English who are 90% unilingual? It is a Liberal government loading one side of the scale and increasing an already imbalance between the two linguistic communities in favour of his own Francophone community within the public service. It is a blatant anti English move.
I wonder about English Liberals. What do they think of their leader , his cabinet and his actions? What direction shall they take? Will they step up and demand a Liberal platform that corrects the injustice?

They don't want bilingualism, and they make that more clear every day.
The Société de l'Acadie New Brunswick is categorically opposed to the program's bilingual format.
Acadia is a nation. She has the right to have a debate in her language. Acadians have the right to hear from people who want to represent them in Fredericton. And if these people do not speak French during the debate, it will be to their disadvantage. Language is also a qualification. Then it will be up to the...

the
SANB was very disappointed that the government took advantage of the
press briefing to place a Liberal Party sign, rather than that of the
Government of New Brunswick. In light of this highly partisan situation,
the SANB feels the need to reaffirm that it is in no way associated
with the New Brunswick Liberal Party or the other political parties in
the province and that it is a non-partisan organization. Such a meeting
is supposed to take place between the president of th...

What! Questioning bilingualism?
Recently the Moncton Times and Transcript has run a couple of editorials questioning what has been a sacred cow in this province for 50 years, the application of bilingualism.
The latest one by a Mr. Ouellette of the University of Moncton is interesting as it advocates for more duality. Mr. Ouellette is a member of the Francophone community’s leadership. His goal therefore is a work place where Francophones work in French. He laments that such a goal has not been attained in the present set up despite the efforts of d’Entremont.

The piece confirms again that the leadership of the French community is
aware and maybe even concerned about the increase in language tension
in the province. He makes a statement that basically says that our
concern that there is a real and increasing barrier to jobs for
unilingual Anglophones is just our imagination. Our experience and the
numbers tell a different story.
Our present Francophone Healthcare system is “dual” in management and bilingual in service with French being designated as the working language. Duplicating this in transportation, forestry, fisheries etc seems to be their prize here.
He talks about decentralizing the government in administration but not in services. The working language in French designated areas would be French but service to the public would be bilingual and vice versa for English areas.
The details of this are not clear but rest assured, the leadership of the French community are not concerned for our welfare. They are willing to talk about bilingualism now only when it’s to their benefit.
There are ways to change the application of bilingualism so that both French and English could share the job market in a fair and equitable way. I’m not convinced that the leadership of the French community are interested in that yet.

A good listen about language and politics in NB.
Ironic that the Liberals are seen as the party of the French, and the PC's as the party of the English ... it was the PC's who gave us duality in the school system, Bill 88, the Active Offer of Service, the Commissioner of Official Languages, the extension of the Official Languages Act to contractors and professional associations, and so much more!

I have been casting spells for many years and I have helped many people, I might be able to help you too. I am honest, and I genuinely care for all the clients who choose me to cast a spell for them.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any questions about Love, Money, curse, protection, bad luck, divorce, court cases, or about me please call or email me. I really want you to feel comfortable before moving forward with any spells, or other services. I will take the time to explain things to you and provide you with honest advice, to what is best for your situation. I will not pressure you into having a spell cast, I will leave that decision up to you, and when or if you decide to move forward, I might be able to help you.
I will respect your Privacy. I will not seek to obtain any of your personal information beyond what you might voluntarily offer and all information you might give me including emails, phone numbers and photos will remain private and confidential.
I perform my Rituals only at night between the hours of 0.00 - 0.59 (South African time) lasting 1 hour but of course, this depends on the nature of the ritual, some rituals might take hours and can also become necessary to be performed at specials places like; flowing streams, cemeteries and other places dictated by the gods.
I do not want anyone to be under any illusions about my spells and its numerous rituals. Real and effective Voodoo is no child's play, it is expensive because, after the rituals, I will have to destroy all the materials involved by fire and the ashes scattered over a flowing stream or river.
You will get what you seek.But please understand this might take a lot of time and that individual results may vary. contact +27663492930, greatogudugu@gmail.com
