I believe there's one candidate - one my constituents support - who can unite conservatives & Canadians to become our next PM.
That's @PierrePoilievre.
Let's put the divisiveness away, unite our movement behind #Pierre4PM & defeat Justin Trudeau to win the next election.

N.B. premier's press secretary resigns over letter leak
New Brunswick Premier Bernard Lord's press secretary has resigned in the latest twist of what has become one of the most bizarre and dramatic legislative sessions in recent memory.
Lord announced Chisholm Pothier's resignation on Thursday during a heated exchange in question period at the legislature in Fredericton.
The government was being questioned about why it had released a letter containing personal information about a constituent in Neguac.
Drunk driving history revealed
The letter contained the constituent's name, address and drunk-driving history, and the fact that he was seeking to have his driver's licence reinstated.
Lord said Pothier was acting alone when he handed copies of the letter to the legislative press gallery and accepts personal blame for the decision.
"Unfortunately, I am losing a very competent press secretary who made a mistake and owned up to his mistake," said Lord.
Liberal house leader Kelly Lamrock said the premier is responsible for the release of the information and shouldn't make his staffer take the fall.
"The premier's conduct requires a mea culpa, not a they-a culpa," Lamrock said.
Official complaint
Lamrock has laid an official complaint about the matter with the New Brunswick ombudsman, naming both the premier and the transportation minister. He says both men violated the Protection of Private Information Act by keeping a letter containing a citizen's personal and private information and using it for political gain.
The individual's personal information was contained in a January 2005 letter Lord referred to in the legislature on Wednesday.
Outside chambers, Pothier handed copies of the letter to reporters without blacking the individual's name out. He later apologized, saying he regretted that decision and was personally responsible for making the letter public.
This spring's rocky session has been marked by floor-crossings, strange outbursts from MLAs and wild accusations from both sides of the legislature.
The government is hanging on to its majority by just one seat and the Liberal Opposition is hungry for an election.

New Ambulance New Brunswick policy lets unilingual paramedics stay on for now
Jobs for which bilingual paramedics can't be found won't have to be reposted every 8 weeks
New Ambulance New Brunswick policy lets unilingual paramedics stay on for now
Ambulance New Brunswick says it's
implementing a directive from the Blaine Higgs government on
language-based hiring of paramedics.
Medavie, which runs the ambulance system, has frozen the re-posting of vacant bilingual positions every eight weeks, something Health Minister Ted Flemming ordered on Dec. 18, said spokesperson Chisholm Pothier.
That was one of the recommendations in a labour board ruling last year by arbitrator John McEvoy, who said the repeated re-posting of vacant bilingual positions was interfering with the seniority rights of the unionized paramedics.
It's a significant move because deputy premier Robert Gauvin suggested before Christmas that Medavie was trying to "delay … as long as possible" the implementation of the McEvoy ruling pending the outcome of a court hearing next week.

Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs claims the inability to fill vacant
bilingual positions has led to ambulances not being on the road. (CBC)
The judicial review will determine if McEvoy's recommendations comply with the Official Languages Act.
Ambulance New Brunswick requires at least one paramedic in each two-person ambulance crew to be bilingual to comply with the law.
When no bilingual candidate has been available to fill a vacancy, the organization has temporarily hired unilingual paramedics for eight weeks at a time, then has re-posted the positions.
A unilingual paramedic will now be able to stay in a position indefinitely, until a qualified bilingual applicant comes along.
Higgs and People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin have claimed the inability to fill vacant bilingual positions has led to ambulances not being on the road, something Medavie has said is not true.
Pothier said so far, Ambulance New Brunswick has not adopted the province's suggestion of reducing bilingual requirements in areas where the government feels there is less demand for second-language service — another of McEvoy's recommendations.
Part of Flemming's Dec. 18 directive was to hire paramedics based on seniority for what he called "non-relevant bilingual positions."

Minister Ted Flemming's directive called for hiring paramedics based on
seniority for what he called 'non-relevant bilingual positions.' (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
Pothier
said it's too early to implement that because "I don't think 'relevant
bilingual positions' has been defined at this point."
He said Ambulance New Brunswick plans to review how much demand there is for bilingual service but only after it has established a new separate service for transporting patients from hospital to hospital.
The service won't require bilingual paramedics because the language choice of the patient will be registered in advance. That, in turn, will allow Ambulance New Brunswick to hire 40 full-time unilingual paramedics, lessening the need for as many bilingual staff.
That system should be in place by the end of March, Pothier said.

I still do not get it about
this silly " bilingual" requirement for paramedics here in New
Brunswick. Every one here speaks english, so why bother having a
bilingual requirement?
David R. Amos
@daryl doucette Methinks the
PANB supporters would agree that you are not alone in that opinion much
to the chagrin of the SANB N'esy Pas?
Chuck Michaels
Remember that when they say
"Unilingual" that this also includes the Francophone Paramedics in the
North who speak only French who are in bilingual-designated positions.
Although the number may be smaller, this is an issue that concerns ALL
of us together no matter what the language.
David R. Amos
@Chuck Michaels True
Marguerite Deschamps
@Chuck Michaels, Really? After I read here all along that most Francophones were bilingual.

@Chuck Michaels yes that is true....but what they should do is offer those 3 people free English language training.....
David R. Amos
Methinks the political spin
doctors are playing with fire on this topic The many comments on this
topic for months should prove that most folks be they French or English
could give two hoots as to what language is spoken by the people working
for Ambulance NB as long as they get to the hospital as quick as
possible. This French versus English rhetoric raised the ire of many
people and split the province in half in the last election and gave 6
seats to two wannabe kingmakers. The next election after Mr Higg's
budget no doubt fails the stress test is gonna be a dilly N'esy Pas?
Lou Bell
Nice to finally see someone
to represent Anglophones at the Ambulance NB hearings ! For over 50 year
s they've been represented BY NO ONE !! SANB has had their people put
in place by government for decades, with no representatives for NB
Anglophones ! Problem is , even the judges are SANB plants !

This is a good policy for
those in need of medical help as they can be assured that no matter what
the language lifesaving services will be provided with as rapid a

paramedics in another language when would they have the time? You can't
force them to give up their time off as they need relief from very
stressful work.

So, let me get this
straight...is once you arrive at the ER, does your emergency physician
have to learn your language before he is allowed to treat you? Also if
you are travelling to another country for a vacation (or business) and
need care, what will you do then? I, for one, do not care if the doctor
or paramedic talk German (or whatever) I would want to be looked after.
Dah!

I think the health of NB
citizens should be most important. Anyone can learn a few key phrases
in both languages on the job and help anyone in an emergency. Language
should not be a barrier to employment and certainly not to provide an
essential service.
Evelyn Gaudreau
@Robert Levesque Bilingualism is a skill, a professional skill, and like any other professional skill it can be learned.
Brian Robertson
@Evelyn Gaudreau
Certainly, it can be learned.
The issue is should it be mandated by a government upon it's citizens, by restricting employment opportunities; especially when there technological solutions that fully address the need.

@Robert Levesque I wholeheartedly agree sir.
Matt Steele
Certainly not much in the way
of job security for the unilingual paramedics . They will be allowed to
have a job until a bilingual person wants it ; then they will be fired
and replaced regardless of how much experience that the paramedic has .
Seems that language is more important than skill . Sounds like a SANB
idea ; so it should make the Liberals happy .
eddy watts
@Matt Steele you're argument is with unions in general and (the value/or lack of) seniority, not about language.

the Language Police need to
quit the B.S...the bottom line for medical help for a distressed person
is to get medical help...the distressed person cares nothing about

developed and produced by the Language Police...get over yourself...

province whose citizens have decided decades ago that New Brunswick
residents have the legislated civil and human rights to be served in the
language of their choice English or French. So why does government, in
the press trying to erase an accepted legislated practice. Maybe the
Crown should study incentive subsidies and giving property tax breaks to
