Parrsboro residents given until January to decide how to pay for cost overrun on sewer project
'An extra $345 a year ... on top of all their other bills, is a large sum of money'

The Municipality of the County of Cumberland is asking residents of Parrsboro, N.S., to decide by early January how they want to pay for a $4.4-million cost overrun on a sewer project in the community.
The choices for now are a $4,900 lump-sum payment or $345 annually for 20 years.
A recent letter from the municipality has upset people, according to Lloyd Smith, who was a candidate in the October municipal election.
"Parrsboro consists of seniors trying to keep their houses," said Smith. "An extra $345 a year on top of their sewer bills, on top of all their other bills, is a large sum of money."
The choice is also not sitting well with many people in the area because they believe unnecessary extensions drove up the cost of the project.
"They put people on that did not need to be put on," said Dawn McCully, "We all have functioning [septic systems] where I live. If we have to we'll move because this is just ridiculous."
'There was no consultation, there was no heads-up'
In 2019, Parrsboro residents were given a $957 sewage charge on their property tax bills without any warning — roughly $650 more than the normal amount.
McCully has a new sewer line going by her house but the house is not connected.
Ottawa required that a new treatment plant and sewer lines be constructed in Parrsboro by 2020. But Smith said the original project estimated just over 200 sewer customers.
"Now the municipality is saying they have more than 400," said Smith. "There was extra pipe put in the ground and I don't know why. It's irresponsible."
McCully and many of her neighbours believe the entire cost overrun should be shared by everyone who lives in Cumberland County and not just Parrsboro residents.
"There was no consultation, there was no heads-up," said McCully. "They just went ahead with an expansion and they had to know that somebody was going to have to pay for it."
Before the new sewage collection and treatment system was built, sewage flowed into the harbour and nearby waterways. (Google Streetview)
The issue was raised at the November county council meeting. Murray Scott, the newly elected mayor, said a review of the project is underway.
"We've asked for all the documents around what happened," said Scott. "How large was the project originally? Did it grow? How did it grow?"
Scott said municipal finance officials are also looking into whether any other repayment options can be offered to residents.
He does not believe Cumberland County can get any more financial help from the provincial or federal governments because the project is completed.
"Doesn't mean we can't try," said Scott. "But I'm not holding out a lot of hope."
Methinks that a very interesting thing for a former Attorney General to say 14 very long years after I ran against him N'esy Pas?
Joe, there is "idealistic" and "realistic"....but it is O.K. to think the former.
The residents of the community of Parrsboro have many questions, some are: Why were there changes to the original plan? Who proposed these changes? And most important, Why the Municipality of Cumberland approved a project that was $4,400,000 over budget?
Thanks Lloyd
Cumberland County, Town of Parrsboro, and the contractor should be responsible for cost overruns, not residents.
Shame on Cumberland County for rewarding mismanagement at the expense of its residents.
It isn't proper to suggest that the cost of this should be shared by everyone in the whole county any more than suggesting it be shared by every taxpayer in Canada. The cost of the infrastructure projects that are to be borne by the taxpayers belong to those of the people benefiting from the project, not everyone else in the county, province or country.
Don't hold your breath for that one.
The population of Parrsboro has declined from 3400 to a current population of less than 1200. Forced by the province to install sewage lines ( they don’t have the property size in town to allow for septic systems ) the cost overruns should be picked up by the province as the few residents simply can’t absorb the cost overruns that were imposed upon them. They don’t live in the boondocks......it’s a town Denny that has been around since 1610!
David, which government are you referring to...municipal, provincial and/or federal and why?

Parrsboro residents surprised by huge increase in sewage fee
$957 annual charge will help pay for new sewage collection and treatment system
· CBC News · Posted: Jun 13, 2019 6:00 AM AT
The Municipality of the County of Cumberland, N.S., recently installed a
new sewage system in the community of Parrsboro. Many residents were
not expecting the resulting $957 annual charge on their property tax
bills. (Google Streetview)
Some Parrsboro, N.S., residents are frustrated and worried after they opened their property tax bills last week to find a $957 sewage charge.
The Municipality of the County of Cumberland charged the fee to help pay for a new sewage collection system and treatment plant in the former town of about 1,200 people.
But Don Lake, a building manager who looks after multiple properties in the area, said the fee was a surprise for many, who weren't notified of the increase.
"Not a single word. Not a single word was given out," he said.
Lake said Parrsboro's population includes a high number of senior citizens, and many cannot afford to pay the fee, which is about $650 more than the normal amount.
Before the new sewage collection and treatment system was built, sewage flowed into the harbour and nearby waterways. (Google Streetview)
The $957 annual fee is charged per unit in multi-unit buildings, so some landlords have been hit with thousands of extra dollars on their bills.
"I can't pass that $957 on to the tenants," Lake said. "This is not funds that I can expect tenants to pay."
Mary Parker operates a nine-unit apartment building with a retail space. Her tax bill included nine charges of $957, plus a higher fee for the commercial space.
She said she will likely have to pass some of that expense on to her tenants.
"It's certainly going to impact what I'm going to have to charge for rent," she said. "I'm going to have to absorb a certain percentage of it for sure but … I don't have any choice."
Who has to pay the fee
Parker said she has invested in the building over the past few years, including installing a new roof and a new facade.
"I just don't see how I can continue to do that sort of thing and meet the requirements of such an increase in taxes," she said.
Residents whose properties front on the sewage collection system will see the annual $957 charge on their bills whether they use the system or not.
Lake said he installed a $12,000 septic system at his three-unit building a few years ago, and he won't be hooking the building up to the sewer line. Regardless, his tax bill includes three charges of $957.
'This is a good thing'
Municipal Coun. Norman Rafuse said residents should try to look on the bright side.
"All the people are looking at is the fact that this is an added cost," Rafuse said. "But, I mean, this is a good thing. There's been sewage going in the harbour here for years and now there isn't."
The municipality installed the new sewage system because federal regulations require wastewater that enters waterways to be treated properly by 2020.
Project cost $12.7M, about $4M more than expected
Rafuse said residents were asked to pay the fee because the completed project, which was funded by all three levels of government, came in about $4 million over the $9-million budget.
"If the project had have come in somewhere around the original price, they would have got an increase, definitely, but it would not have been as high," he said.
Residents were informed of the increase in a post on the municipality's website, Rafuse said.
He said municipal staff are exploring options to help lower-income residents pay the fee.
Which government? Provincial, municipal? It would be insane to hold the province ( and thus all Nova Scotian taxpayers ) responsible to cover incompetency of a municipal government.
Rethink this Jimmy, you surely didn’t consider all the implications.
I would bet that probably 70% of our population here in parrsboro lives near poverty level. Our dear councillor is not in that category. So for him to say look on the bright side is an insult to say the least ! Who the hell does he think he is?? Yes this was inevitable and it had to be done .:... but know They had to repair my water line three times because they broke it! And I am far from the only person that this happened to.
And the bigger picture is we now have this massive jump with the sewer , we have roads that needs fixed , shore line protection that needs to be done, a town hall they want to
Build, etc. Guess what that means INCREASED TAXES!!
Come on!!! And to increase the honorariums of the council and to have taken away our volunteer firemen’s honorarium is disgraceful!

 Dear David Amos My mission is to serve you, the people of Cumberland North, To influence public policy & legislation for the greater good, To promote the people and the area, To grow the economy and GDP, To improve population health, And to work towards a world class health care system. That is my Mission and my purpose that I strive to achieve each and every day of the week. Last week in politics I met with several residents of Cumberland North to discuss and work on issues of concern. Some of the concerns include: - Meeting with new Mayor of Cumberland County Murray Scott - Residential Care Facility health care bonus - Lack of availability for Respite Beds in the County - Urgent funding request for sexual assault counselling - Diabetes Management - Booking Lab appointments at Hospital - Palliative Care and Pandemic Visitation rules - International Exchange Students - Conversation on Housing Meeting - Sexual exploitation educational session - Nursing staffing concerns - Forestry meeting of the CFAC - Agriculture and supports for beef farmers - Lack of family doctors - Lack of Psychiatrists New Mayor of Cumberland County Last Monday I met with the new Mayor of Cumberland County, Mr. Murray Scott. As many of you are aware, Mr. Scott was MLA for Cumberland South from 1998 to 2010. While serving in the NS Legislature he brought forth 42 pieces of Legislation. He served as Speaker of the House for 6 years, held numerous Cabinet positions and was also House Leader. I certainly see his most recent election as Mayor of Cumberland a gift for all of us. His knowledge and expertise he brings to the role is astounding. His personal skills and communications skills will also be a huge asset. I am very encouraged by the newly elected council in the County of Cumberland. The County Council has all newly elected Councillors with lots of ideas and ready to create positive change for Cumberland. In Cumberland North I will be working with councillors Fred Gould, Rod Gilroy, Jennifer Houghtaling and Kathy Redmond. Together I am confident we will be able to grow and build Cumberland County into the strong area I know we can be. Our geographic location alone makes us prime real estate. My dream is for our area to be part of a larger Atlantic Corridor which was part of a vision 20 years ago throughout the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce. We have much untapped potential and room for growth. Sexual Health Centre Sexual Health Centre had their Open House on Monday at their new location on Church Street in Amherst. Please call Rene Ross if you need any support with sexual health related issues. 902-667-7500. https://shns.ca/member- Last week I was invited along with my colleagues to attend an information session regarding "UNDERSTANDING COMMERCIAL SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN NOVA SCOTIA ". It is alarming the number of youth that are being exploited in this province. If you are aware of children or youth at risk for commercial exploitation, please report to RCMP. This culture will only stop when we start talking more openly about the destruction this is having on the lives of vulnerable in our families and in our communities. Conversation on Housing Last week we held a meeting “Conversation on Housing”. We held two sessions, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Each week in the MLA office, we receive calls from individuals, family members and community members looking for help to find housing and accommodation for persons in the community. There is a lack of supply in housing persons of all socio-economic levels in the Cumberland North area. Housing directly impacts health. Adequate housing is universally viewed as one of the most basic human needs. As a Registered Nurse, one of the first things learned was the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs and he also considers housing as a basic need for life. Thank you to the presenters at the Housing meeting: Jim Graham of Affordable Housing Nova Scotia Jill Snow of Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Steve Craig PC Caucus Housing Critic David Ritcey PC Caucus Municipal Affairs Critic After presentations and a conversation with everyone in attendance, both in person and over Zoom, the following points were made: Contributing Factors to local Housing Shortage: - Addictions issues in the community. Many active users are not receiving the health care services needed and very little is available in harm reduction measures. Many private landlords are managing tenants with drug related issues. - Lack of Development Land available within the Town of Amherst - Lack of Development Land available near the town of Amherst with water and sewer access - Lack of a local Housing Strategy and planning - Residential Tenancy Act restricts land lease communities - A large amount of “Old Stock” affordable housing has not been maintained and requires large investment to bring up to standard - Lack of Operational funding for Housing First Plan - Lack of municipal initiative, compared to HRM who have waived building code fees and made modifications to property taxes to incentivize building Ideas to Improve Housing Supply - Request municipal governments to examine by-laws with regards to land lease communities - Improve access to health care services for those with addictions in the community to supports healthy tenants - Request municipal governments to share publicly owned land that is available for housing development - Request county municipal government to brainstorm on ideas to invest capital in old homes to ensure livability - Support the work to build a Shelter for the Homeless in the community - Municipal government support co-op housing by offering a 25% property tax break - Encourage each municipality to create their own Housing Strategy, look at zoning and provide lands for co-op housing - Amendments to the Residential Tenancy Act (regarding land lease communities, rent paid directly to landlord from tenants on income assistance and lessen time for late notice to fall in line with other provinces) - Look for opportunities to convert non-residential to residential - Work with the apprenticeship agency to increase number skilled trade workers - Access the assessment tool from CMHC to complete an assessment of housing need I will be hosting future meetings to ensure strategies are put in place that will lead to an Increase in Housing Supply. Every human must have a warm and safe place to sleep and live in safety. Acclaimed as Candidate for Cumberland North Last week I was acclaimed the Candidate for Cumberland North PC party for next provincial election. We live in a democratic country and I know I will have some tough competition from the Liberal, NDP and Green parties here locally in Cumberland North. I look forward to whenever the next election will be called so we can debate and have healthy robust conversations on issues that matter to you, the residents of Cumberland North. In the meantime, please contact me if you have ideas on how we can work together to make this area a better place. Border Meeting I have organized a meeting with government officials with the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure and the Department of Environment to discuss the NS Border Measures. Changes are taking place at our border. The most significant concern is related to the continued closure of Exit 1 which restricts traffic and customers to valuable businesses along LaPlanche Street and Downtown Amherst. The Border Meeting is on Tuesday and I have invited both the Mayor of the County and Town of Amherst to attend along with Councillor Fred Gould and a rep for the business community from the Chamber of Commerce. Pandemic Update Nova Scotia As of Tuesday afternoon NS has 87 active cases of COVID-19 and had 37 new cases on Monday. 35 of the new cases are in the Central Zone, Halifax area, 1 in Northern Zone and 1 in Western Zone. https://novascotia.ca/ New Brunswick As of Tuesday NB has 93 active cases of COVID-19 and had 5 new cases on Monday. 34 of the active cases are on Zone 1 which is in our neighbouring area from the NB border to north of Moncton. This Zone 1 is in the orange level which means: Orange Level Zone 1 Essential travel only is recommended in and out of Orange level zones, however, people can continue to travel within the province for work, school, essential errands, and medical appointments. https://www2.gnb.ca/content/ Let’s all stay diligent and be wise. Be a critical thinker. Live your life, do not be paralyzed with fear of the Covid19 virus but rather be smart in using all infection control measures to reduce the chance of transmission of the virus. Stay home if you feel sick. Get tested if you have any of the symptoms or if you have been in contact with someone who had the virus. Wash your hands and be cognizant of everything you touch, washing and disinfecting all surfaces that have been touched by others. Wear a mask while in public and keep 6 feet or more apart from others while in public spaces. Limit your travel and exposure to others when possible.

Coping with Anxiety and Prayer Whether you are a spiritual or religious person, or a non-believer, prayer or meditation can be a powerful exercise for your own heart and soul and for placing your heart's desires out to the universe. Prayer or meditation is a time to give thanks and we have much to be thankful for. It is also a time to make our requests known before the Universe. Let us ask for the needs of all our people to be made known and for people to be placed in their lives to help wherever needed. After all what could be more important than to help another person in need. Have a great week everyone take care of yourself and take care of one another.

MEET THE CANDIDATE Lloyd Smith, Cumberland County
Published: Sep 18 at 3:10 p.m.
Lloyd Smith
Lloyd Smith is running in District 8, Cumberland County
Q. What’s your full name?
Lloyd C. Smith
Q. Where are you from?
I was born and raised here in Parrsboro, NS, and I have lived here my whole life.
Q. What did you do before you decided to run for office?
I have worked at Granby Furnaces Inc.(formerly Parrsboro Metal Fabricators) for the past 27 years, currently in the position of customer service/inside sales. In the past I have volunteered with the Parrsboro Volunteer Fire Department (20 years), Parrsboro & District Lions Club (20 years) and spent a few years coaching kids hockey with Parrsboro Minor Hockey Association.
Q. Why have you chosen to run in this election campaign?
I have lived in this county all my life and I am very passionate about our area and its constituents. I believe I can bring much knowledge to the table, and I stand committed to people by supporting all areas of District 8 and all their individual concerns. The people of District 8 need someone who is compassionate about its constituents and their concerns and is willing to listen and act in a responsible and respective way. I have been very concerned over the past four years with decisions that have been made and the costs associated with those decisions. Just one example is the Parrsboro Sewer project, putting 400-plus users in a $4,400,000 debt. Yes, local governments are required to do certain projects, but these should only be done if they can afford to be done.
Q. What strengths would you bring to council if you are elected?
I am very hard working, honest, understanding and willing to listen to the concerns of all the constituents in District 8. I have 11 years council experience (1997–2008) in the previous Town of Parrsboro, and believe with this background and knowledge, I have much to bring to the council table. I am very approachable and willing to address all constituents concerns in a timely, responsible and respectful manor. I am very committed to our county and its people and vow to work hard for each and every community within our District 8 to ensure your concerns are heard and addressed. I have the ability to work through problems with a level head, and a passion to help people in the community. I would bring a common sense approach to council, for example, making sure we can pay for a project, not just doing it and not worrying about the costs.
Q. What do you see as the biggest strength/asset of the community/region and what measures would you take to capitalize on them?
One of the biggest assets of the District 8 area, if not all of Cumberland County, is the amazing beauty in the area. Around every corner you can see breath-taking scenery, and this beauty and serenity give a quality of life that is second to none. Tourism is a huge part of our economy, along with Blueberry Farming, Fisheries and Forestry. Being on the Bay of Fundy / Minus Basin gives the opportunity to produce green energy if it can be done in an environmentally friendly way. There are also the hundreds of volunteers in this district, and we rely on them on a daily basis. The firefighters within the departments of Five Islands, Parrsboro, FPW, Advocate and Southampton are men and women who will stop their lives in a moments notice to help others. We have volunteers participating in many various board groups, church groups, service organizations, and community hall groups. There are even volunteers going in to care centers and nursing homes to play music to aid in making others feel better. These volunteers are definitely the hearts of our communities.
Q. What do you feel is the key challenge facing the community/region and how would you work to address it?
There are many challenges facing our District 8 and each community is a bit different from the other. Some of the challenges that are common for each are the lack of police presence, health care, permanent affordable housing, road conditions and tax increases. Others that may be more Parrsboro related such as the debt associated with the sewer project, Aboiteau Bridge and Whitehall Bridge conditions, and also the state of the Aboiteau and surrounding area. Another challenge will be community halls that are run by volunteer community groups and the struggles they will have because of the lack of rentals and fundraising due to COVID-19.
Q. What one message do you hope gets out to the voters during this election campaign?
I would like the residents of District 8 to know I am a very passionate, honest, hard working individual that will do whatever I can to represent the constituents at the council table.
Through this difficult time with COVID, it is more important than ever to vote, with more methods being offered in this election. You can now vote on the internet or phone from Oct. 5 at 8 a.m. (24 hours per day) until Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. The Parrsboro Service Centre (former CIBC building) will facilate voting by paper method. Advance polls will be held Oct. 10 and 13 from noon until 8 p.m., with the regular poll being held on Oct. 17 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Due to COVID, I will not be doing a door to door campaign. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or comments you may have. Thank you very much for your support, and please know I will always do what it takes to represent everyone as best I can in this district.

Murray Scott
MEET THE CANDIDATE Murray Scott, running for mayor of Cumberland County
Murray Scott is running for mayor of Cumberland County
Q. What’s your full name?
Murray Kenneth Scott.
Q. Where are you from?
I was born and grew up in Springhill, NS. This is also where Linda and I raised our two children. For three years, we lived in Moncton where I was a member of the Moncton City Police Force. We returned to Springhill in 1983 and I became a member of the Springhill Police Service. Since that time, I have been a resident of Springhill.
Q. What did you do before you decided to run for office?
I am a retired police officer having served with the Moncton City Police and Springhill Police Service for a total of 20 years. I served 12 years as MLA for Cumberland South. During my political career, I was Speaker of the Nova Scotia Legislature, and held several cabinet portfolios, including Minister of Justice, Attorney General, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal and Minister of Economic Development.
Q. Why have you chosen to run in this election campaign?
I feel that I have the time, experience, and energy to commit to the mayor’s position which I intend to make full time. I believe the Municipality of Cumberland is one of the best places to live. This area has so much to offer and I want to be a part of helping the region reach its potential. I see advantages in working with provincial and local partners to benefit one another. Two areas in which I feel confident are my abilities to work collaboratively and to problem solve. Both qualities are especially needed at this time by anyone in such a leadership role.
Q. What strengths would you bring to council if you are elected?
My experiences as a former police officer and provincial cabinet minister will serve me well as the new mayor for the municipality. The new council will be smaller in number. Each of these councillors will have greater responsibilities so it is vital that they have a mayor who has a proven record as a leader to support them. I have been described as a “people person.” I care about people and I care about the problems they are facing. It has always been a challenge for me to try to find solutions or to negotiate compromises. I believe that my ability to reach out to legislature colleagues and ministers to solve individual and community problems will prove to be an asset.
Q. What do you see as the biggest strength/asset of the community/region and what measures would you take to capitalize on them?
Cumberland County’s biggest asset is definitely its people. We have a community of people who work hard and who volunteer their time unselfishly. Travelling throughout the municipality you will find community groups and organizations working to enhance life for their neighbours both young and old. One such group is our volunteer firefighters. They need and deserve the support from their communities. As well, each community within the Municipality of Cumberland has its own uniqueness and strengths. The industries that provide our jobs, the museums that house our histories, the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sectors that provide so much of our needs, the scenic shores that bring tourists, each of these varies within our communities. The way to capitalize on these areas is to identify underlying issues, concerns or problems and seek ways to resolve them. Communication is the vital link to success. It is my intention as mayor to keep open the lines of communication by being accessible to all residents of the municipality.
Q. What do you feel is the key challenge facing the community/region and how would you work to address it?
One challenge we face, which I hear on a regular basis from residents, is the property tax rates. We pay some of the highest taxes compared to the rest of the province. I feel we need to do a full assessment of the taxes collected and how those dollars are spent. We should look at efficiencies and where tax dollars can be saved. We must ensure that we have a business friendly environment. As well, it is vital that a municipal government communicates on a regular basis with residents. Lack of communication leads to misunderstanding. Communication is the key to success.
Q. What one message do you hope gets out to the voters during this election campaign?
As a former MLA who ran five successful elections in 12 years it was always my commitment to represent all of the constituents in Cumberland South. I met regularly with people and community groups in each area to address their concerns and to work on solutions. It is my intention if elected to continue this practice as mayor of the Municipality of Cumberland. I see the office of mayor as a full time commitment and one that I will endeavour to fulfill.
Q. How can people contact you?
By phone, I can be reached at 902-694-0072. My email is electmurray2020@gmail.com

MLA Scott to resign
Murray Scott says he'll step down as MLA for Cumberland South this year.
The 57-year-old Progressive Conservative announced his plans on Tuesday, saying he wants to spend more time with his wife, children and grandchildren.
"I guess when you get to my age you realize that life flies by. I've been to a lot of funerals this year, some friends of mine, some even younger than me," he said.
"I guess things can change in your life on a daily basis, and over the last year it's changed quite a bit for me."
Scott, a former police officer, was elected to the Nova Scotia legislature in 1998 and re-elected four times. He was minister of justice, transportation, and economic development in the governments of John Hamm and Rodney MacDonald.
After 12 years at Province House, Scott said it was time to let someone else represent Cumberland South.
He said he's looking forward to new opportunities.
"I belong to some volunteer organizations that I have not been able to put a lot of time into over the last couple of years — my church, my lodge — so I want to get back in touch with those people," he said.
"Then I want to look at how I can best use some of my time, my experience, I guess, over the last couple of years. You know, reach out and touch some people, organizations, and try and help on the volunteer side."
Scott said he will resign his seat some time before the end of the year.
MP Bill Casey reflects on 3 decades in Parliament as he prepares to retire
Cumberland-Colchester MP won't run in the next federal election

Bill Casey's route through 30 years of federal politics has been anything but a straight path.
Soon, that road will come to an end. Casey announced earlier this month he won't run in next year's federal election so he can spend more time with his family.

Casey was first elected in 1988 as a Progressive Conservative. He was defeated in 1993, but returned to Ottawa in 1997 and several subsequent elections.
A rather significant hitch disrupted his career when, in 2007, he voted against the budget tabled by the Stephen Harper government, saying it broke the Atlantic Accord.
Casey recalls that as the most unforgettable moment of his time in Parliament. He said the moment was so confusing that he lost track of what was unfolding in the House of Commons and had to go up to the Speaker to understand what was going on.
"But I figured it out and I managed to get my vote in and a second later I was thrown out," he said. "It was chaotic. I was sitting in my seat and the press was leaning over the press gallery … and the Opposition was chanting, 'Bill, Bill, Bill.'"
After Harper expelled him from the caucus, Casey sat as an Independent until 2009, when he was diagnosed with cancer and resigned his seat.
"My doctor said if you don't get out of that circus, you won't recover," Casey said. "I hated to do it, but I just had to do it and I'm certainly glad I did it now in hindsight. I might not be here if I hadn't have done that."
Email from Trudeau
It was during his time as an Independent — Casey was assigned a seat in the very back row — that he got to know Justin Trudeau, who sat across the aisle from him.
Then, one day in 2014, Casey was sitting at home when he got an email "right out of the blue" from Trudeau.
"All he said was, 'Hi Bill, I'm going to come right out and ask you, will you run for the Liberals in the next election?'" Casey said.
"I had not even thought about it. It hadn't crossed my mind, but it was an intriguing proposition."
He accepted that proposition and was elected with 63 per cent of the votes in the 2015 election.
Prospects for riding
Asked whether he believes the Liberals can hold on to the seat after he leaves, Casey replied with a laugh: "I didn't think they could hold it with me."
"A lot of things go into how an election turns out," he said. "It's partly the candidate, part leader, part policy, part the way people are feeling.… I certainly think the Liberals have a really good crack at it."
Casey said he feels privileged to have served in Parliament through the twists and turns of his career.
And the biggest lesson he's learned?
"Do the right thing. There's so many tugs on you when an issue comes up — will you do this or will you do that? Will people like me, will people not like me? Will I get elected?
"Forget all that. You just gotta do the right thing."

SUSSEX - GOLD FOUND AND BERNARD LORD'S OPINION!!!!
John Hamm a man of great integrity resigned as a Premier of Nova Scotia. We have unscrupulous Bernard Lord who is still Premier. There is something wrong with us NBers to tolerate this man as our Premier
Here is the real reason Hamm quit it is at the very bottom of this particular blog. This email is also why the dudes in Fredericton are so nervous these days. Simply put I'm back. I can only wonder how long this Blog will remain before Chucky Leblanc deletes it in order to cover up the public corruption he secretly supports.

Subject: Fwd: Re: This is who I am Bobby Baby. Read it and weep.
I had to respond to this. Brian Gaudet should have read my last email before bouncing it back to me with his insults. I was already gone. At least this Frenchman, sounds more like a proper Maritimer. Yet if he was going to spout off to me he should have been man enough to say it front of the rest of you too. Let us all see if he has truly Billy Gates blocking me after trying to pick a fight with me. Yahoo will tell the tale on that. That said, I do admire that he defends his wife's name and is willing to fight about it even if he does not understand the issues. That is honourable but dumb. I was confused that the email address said two mech so I suspect that he may be a mechanic just like me and not any sort of lawyer or newsman either. I like that as well.
It seems he has been raised on the four F's just like me. Only thing is I ain't hiding behind an electronic mask like he said. If he had bothered to read I had even inserted my phone number. I will be coming to Sackville very soon but by then your protests will likely be over and I would be met with the indifference that I was faced with last year. So I will bother you all no more even though I will be forwarding and blogging this email in many other places. It is the same methods that the locked out people employed to bring CBC to the table. they have no right to put down my actions against them. I do not wish to speak to the CBC or the employees about a lawsuit I am filing against the Crown because of their actions against me. That would be kinda dumb even for a Maritimer don't you think? I would rather have spoken to pissed off people CBC had locked out of work. It made far more sense to me.
I have many friends in the Sackville area. Perhaps Frenchy should ask around about me to some mechanics he may know to see if most folks who know me well think me to be a liar. He should not rely on CBC to find out the truth about me. To offset any confrontations from people he did not know, Frenchy should have told his wife not to use his email address. If he did not want to be bothered by people she and her other CBC buddies had ignored last year during the last federal election he should have told me out of the gate that he was not his wife. She could have gotten her own hotmail account like my eleven year old in Amherst just did. Instead she used her husband's email to tell the world on the internet that she was actively protesting being out of work? She was soliticiting our support for her plight but in the next electronic breath her husband proves that they care about nobody else? CBC and all of its reporters are the bullshitters in this matter not me. They are self centered greedy bastards also.
CBC does have a mandate to give all people running for a seat in Parliament equal time not just the people the reporters want to win. That is the law and their mandate as a Crown Corp. In case you are reading this Brian Gaudet talk tough all you wish. I don't scare easy because I am too dumb to know fear. Ask the Secret Service who tried to take me away to Cuba over two years ago or the jailers who threw me in the hole last year because I was pretty pissed off if I am a chickenshit or not. Because I display no fear people label me as crazy in order to make themselves feel better about their own cowardice. I have walked the walk for far too long to be frightened by anyone now. I live each day as my last. Only integrity surprises me now. It is a rare thing to find combined with age and power.
If you don't believe me or think I am harrassing you in any way why not call the RCMP or sue me French?. Bring along this email to prove how I have offended you. I will love to argue the Crown about it in court. I will bring along what I served upon the CBC in Saint John while I was running for Parliament last year. It should make for an interesting argument that CBC will not report. Their lawyers have not answered me yet but many others have and know tha CBC got my material too. It appears that i must sue to get an answer as to why the CBC ignored its mandate.
Frenchy I would prefer to meet your lawyer face to face in court in a civil lawsuit rather than duke it out on the street with you and inspire another criminal matter. Besides I have too much to lose even if I won such a senseless thing in court or in the street. You are another ordinary asshole like me. There is no need to battle with you. I am getting too old for such nonsense now but I will certainly defend myself from anyone. If you wish to pursue the matter be forewarned that I don't fight fair anymore. If perchance I lose I am very big on getting even. My battles are never over until that happens. What I teach my son also holds true for me. I tell him to never back down from anyone because it is too expensivee to one's own pride and you will have to run from bullies your whole life. In truth a brawl proves nothing at all except how dumb we can be. Nevertheless like hockey fighting can be a great sport sometimes. Confused? Me too. what do you teach your son Frenchy?
Like you Frenchy I prefer face to face confrontations but only in front of many witnesses these days so that nobody can accuse me of saying or doing anything wrong. If you wish to fight, call the cops first and announce your intentions then all that I ask of you is that you throw the first swing so that my actions will be in defence. Is that OK with you Frenchy??????
You are right about one thing though. Nobody cares. However it is not stupid of me to piss people off. It is merely one of those things I do that nobody seems to appreciate. It works like a charm to get others to prove to me that they are assholes. The big difference between an asshole like me and an asshole like you is that I care about what happens to others. You don't. If you disagree why not help another Maritimer by the name of Byron Prior. He needs all the help he can get. I don't. You don't even have to Google him. Read the portion of his his web site that was at the bottom of the second email I sent to you today. If you have any heart in you at all pick up the phone and call him to see if he is for real for yourself. I did the best I could to help him with his litigation against Billy Matthews and all his Newfy buddies while your wife's buddy Ian Hannamansing who is from Sackville only called Byron a liar while he was doing his big special in Newfoundland about justice last year.
If my memory of what Byron said about the show that night is correct, your wife's fellow CBC workers carefully edited Byron from any of their tapes shown on TV while the Attorney General Tommy Marshall's son sat right by his side and made it on TV. In my opinion the CBC dudes in Newfoundland should all be fired ASAP for that reason alone. That fact has nothing to do with me and my concerns whatsoever. All Canadians were denied the opportunity to hear what Byron Prior had to say about how justice is being served in the Maritimes. It should make no difference at all whether or not Hannamansing thought of Byron a lair. We all had the right to hear what he had to say after CBC had invited the public they work for to speak on TV. How else can we decide the truth about anything if we do not hear from all sides? This is a Democracy isn't it is free speech a myth on public TV? CBC does not have the right to to be judge and jury simply because they have the ability to edit tapes.
Get it Frenchy???????????
Here is my phone number again Frenchy 506 434 1379 if you wish to ask me any questions. I will not bother to look up yours. I do not care about you think anymore if you don't wish to speak man to man. I will do as you requested and merely leave you all alone just like I said in the last email I ever intended to send to any of the CBC crowd. Now that they are comfortably back at work editing the truth for Paul Martin's benefit not ours, I know it would be fruitless to approach them anymore.
Before you give me a call Frenchy, perhaps you should review email that you bounced back to me. For your education here is my face as well and an article about me in a local paper then ask yourself why the CBC reporters ignored an interesting little circus.
I ain't hiding and I ain't a lair. I am just another Maritime asshole just like you Frenchy. You should understand me as being a simple, sincere and serious asshole even if you do not believe that I am a man with some pretty serious beefs against the corrupt justice system and the CBC that helps it in its malice towards us all. It is late and my rambling rant is over. As I wrote this I kept remmbering my encounters with the Frenchy from the far side of my hometown of Dorchester last year. His name is Charles LeBlanc. Man that bastard is full of hot air. I had to get this off my chest. I will sleep better with you dismissed from my mind too. Good luck with your own conscience from now on. Say Hey to Chucky Leblanc for me will ya> Like you he is blocking my emails after sending me a flood of them last year. I will lay odds your wife knows of him. The Maritimes ain't that big a place and he is quite a bragger.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote.

The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
By Gisele McKnight
FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life.
"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife."
So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle.
"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer."
For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America.
Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself.
He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."
What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."
Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name.
"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell.’"

Hey
To put it simply in answer to your dumb request Mr. Sharpe. My answer is HELL NO. That is a nice as I can put it. I just called Katie Nicholson and introduced myself. I will it leave you to wonder whom I will call next. Your clue is that you sent them greetings as a Locked-Out brother in sunny St. Johns.
To elaborate, I must say that I definitely will not go away. Look how you people act since you have been locked out of your jobs. You behave far worse tha I. In fact I may be coming to Newfoundland very soon to copy the material in the dockets of Newfoundland Supreme Court in the Billy Matthews versus Byron Prior matter as it pertains to me me. I need hard copy before I sue the CBC and the Crown. My question right now is hey Bobby Baby why don't I sue you too? Maybe I will come around and watch your people do their song and dance for their job. Perhaps you should try meeting me toe to toe and looking me in the eye if you want to meet a simple sincere and very serious man and then dare me to. I will be real easy to pick out. I am the hairy bastard in the Kilt once worn by a good friend of mine Ol Tom. He is one of the last of the Ladies from Hell. I wear it with his blessings. too many of his friends fought and died many years ago so that shit like this should not happen in our own nativeland. Even the Yankee bastard I call Deputy dog has met Ol Tom long before I dated the Yankee's sister. You bear the same first name as Deputy Dog Bobby Baby and you just forwarded all them your dumb little email that jerked this mangey old dog's chain bigtime. Need I say that my wife did not like receiving your response? She has warned me not to send out her email address anymore. Like her I do not listen real good sometimes but I did accomadate her on her birthday at least.
Bobby Baby if you want someone's shoulder to cry on give the lady Liza Frulla a call. She is a former sister of yours correct? I think she may have some job security issues when there is finally a federal election called. The sooner the better for me and the NDP. Frulla did not answer me so I must remain a man of my word and pass this email on as I promised her I would. Quite honestly I did not expect her to answer me. Everybody knows that she does whatever Paul Martin and the warroom dudes within PCO/PMO offices tell her to do. I needed the proof of contact thats all because I was banking on the fact the warroom will tell her to ignore me. I was just playing her like a fiddlewhile fishing for response from yo sos like you and hopefully an ehtical person or two. Paul Dugas who likes to play the fiddle in the town where I was born should certainly get my joke. On the one year anniversary of Ashcroft visiting Canada and Wayne Easter's office talking to me, he joined a forum to yap about violins. I found the coincidence strangely comical. If Paul Dugas or anyone within the CBC had elected to report my doings on that day instead of talking about fiddlin etc, we would all be better off right now. The CBC recived received my material July 16th 2002, the very same day Argeo P. Cellucci did. That was long before the War on Iraq had started. Have your conscience dwell on that sad fact for a minute or two before you answer a lot of ghosts in your Heaven or Hell someday. As you can see I study people a bit and I already have a pretty good idea who will be naughty and who may be nice. I learned long ago cops, lawyers, bankers, priests and newsmen never are. So I attack them out of the gate but only in an ethical fashion byway of the written word and carefully worded phone calls. Newsmen should know that the word is mightier than the sword. You make your living by it you should die by it as well. Please fall on it ASAP or use it to hang the rest of the corrupt bastards. How is that for a challenge?
Furthermore I like to do everything in threes just like they purportly do in Heaven and Hell. Now that Suzanne Gaudet, Paul Dugas from the town where I was born and you the Newfy Bobby Baby have responded to me you have sealed the fate of the Crown Corp of CBC for me. I need no more responses from the likes of you. Why spoil my own fun? I will likely not tell you anymore about what I am up to after I send the next email and print both of them as evidence to use in Federal Court. I will sue the Minister who oversees your conduct and none of you can ever say that you did not know the truth of my concerns before I did. The CRTC can go to Hell for all I care. Starting with their crooked little Minister many of the public servants under her supervision need to be replaced if the public trust in your profession is ever going to be upheld.
Even though the unethical people at CBC, CTV and all other media pretend to have no understanding of what I mean, a lot of Maritimers understand me quite well already. Blogging is truly the only way to go these days. Watch out. Ordinary folks will replace you in a New York minute. Why else has CBC locked you out I might ask? It appears to me that only the Frenchmen has job security EH? Why do you think that is? Better yet look how quick Bloggers embarrassed Dan Rather before you call me a dreamer. That said look to find the text of this email in many Blogs in the near future and you can study the work of a very fierce political animal. All you should have to do is Google your own name or email address. Turn about is fair play. EH? If you don't like please sue me just like Billy Matthews did with Byron Prior. Google that name some time then tell me all is well in Newfoundland.
It is my fellow Maritimers that I want pissed off at the CBC etc. and all the corrupt politicians they have chosen to support. I do not give two hoots about you as a man Bobby Baby. To me you are just a dumb little pawn in a big big game. I am taking on the Masters of War alone despite the laughter from the likes of you. IF you want some insight in to my character have Rudyard Kipling explain my nature to you within his wonderful poem called IF. I take his advice not your. thus you have the reason behind my simple answer of NO. What I would prefer though Newfy is for you to call me a liar in a public forum. I dare ya. You do not seem all that sharp to me so I will warn you I was raised to the F's of the Maritimes that your former Premier explained to the Yankees years ago. I found it funny the chickenshit named only three. So much for being politically correct EH? He came close but no cigar. Castro will get my joke someday soon. Here is me phone number 506 434-1379. Use it Newfy if you dare to use a phone with a caller ID. Otherwise do not bother at all. just find me in the Blogs.
On a personal note Bill, I liked your voicemail to me. You and I should have a long talk sometime. I think it would be best to do in public in front of many witnesses who have no idea what we are talking about. I am up against some pretty bad acting Feds right now. I am sorry to say that I cannot afford to trust anyone. A very busy Bar or Diner where ordinary folk like me hang out are my favorite haunts. I know of a few down your way. Maybe I will give ya call when I am heading to your town. Better yet for the benefit of your party why not come see me ASAP? I ain't hard to find ask the RCMP. They have been watching me like a hawk.

What must Liza Frulla think of all this. From my point of view you do nothing so why not replace you with nothing at at. It is cheaper for the Taxpayer to keep piping in the BBC.

Hey Lady Liza Frulla
I got the following response from the email I just sent to one of your underlings Ms. Macphee so I called the number she suggested and got the usual governmental voicemail from her help so I left a message. I got a call back just now from her assistant at 819 997-0313. I told her that I would send this email to you and she affirmed my right to do so. However when she attempted to lay down the law to me, I told her I would see her in court. I prefer to argue their lawyers in court rather than spit and chew with civil servants on the phone on my dime. More importantly to me is that I responded to you her Minister byway of email because I require hard copy for evidence to use during the pending arguments of the complaint against the Crown that I do intend to file in Federal Court in Fredericton New Brunswick soon. I am sending you two more emails after this one because my lawyer advised awhile ago to try hard to make my matters well none to the media. From this point forward as the Minister who oversees the CRTC who can never saw that you did not know what many other have known for quite sometime. For what is worth in my humble opinion if you play your political cards right you could be our first Lady Prime Minister.
I will give you Ms. Frulla the weekend to respond to me before I send this particular email to many others but many others will be receiving what Ms. Macphee aready got. I do not care what her assistant Ms Gable may think. She can gab to somebody else about what she wishes to inform me of. I have done my homework and need no advice from the likes of her. What Ms. Gable may not understand about me is that unlike Paul Martin I am a man of my word. I am just like him in one regard. I am also a very fierce political animal who is is equal and opposite in all things that define men. Martin is evil. I am not. Martin is a very wealthy lawyer. I am a just poor layman. Martin is labeled as Honourable and I am called as crazy as a loon. However I am a man Martin is not. He is a snake. I am indeed a very Proud Canadian who is definitely not proud of the people who speak for me. Get it Ms. Frulla?
As Minister Responsible for Status of Women, you really should make certain that the integrity of all women in government does not come into question. From my point of view some women such as the Yankee Judges, Sidney Hanlon, Paula Carey and Cristina Harms for example do much harm to the reputation of your gender. What they have done to my little family in the USA in order to support the rampant public corruption in Canada and the USA should offend anyone with half a mind at all. My wife is a woman too after all. She has never done any wrong at all. Her only offence to the justice system was to stand against the politcally connected family members who had stolen her interests because no lawyer would dare speak for her. When she had her breakdown I took up the fight as any proud husband and father should. It is not only my right but my duty to protect my little Clan. The biggest difference in our genders is that men are not so quick to cry or back down from any bully. My wife is a very tender soul while I can be as mean as a the snake Paul Martin is.
The New World of the Internet has afforded me quite a weapon to do battle with against the likes of Paul Martin and all his crooked cohorts. There is still a place in this Old World for a fierce ethical warrior such as I. Otherwise crooked men and women who are merely low people in high places to me will walk all over us common ordinary folk. I am no physical threat to anyone. I do battle with the word not the sword. It is mightier. Anyone who once worked for CBC should understand that simple fact.
Furthermore this email is definitely not Spam. I am greatly offended when the powers that be label it as such and block it to protect their own greedy interests. Whether you or anyone else believe me or not, my communications are in the best interest of the public. I feel confident that it is much to the chagrin of the people who have failed the public trust in their elected and politically appointed positions. I suspect that is why Nancy Gabler sounded so pissed off just like the tone of Hélène Lapointe's email to me . Rest assured many Canadians will be reading this email after I sent it to you. It is me on the phone to your office right now after that I am putting a bunch of material in the mail and serving many lawyers in hand. My phone call is an ethical effort to introduce myself in order to prove to you that I am sincere.
I know what I have sent to many Members of Parliament during the course of the past two years and I keep very good record to prove simple truths. For certain you just made my list of people who may be naughty or nice. After Xmas Martin must see that Gomery tells his tale and the Canadian people will decide once again who they think is naughty and nice. As as the freedom loving individual that I am I will decide long before then in the hope that my opinions become well known before an election is called. Whereas the people cannot depend on the CBC etc. to report all things of public interest, I will rely on the Blog.
I have no doubt whatsoever that your buddies within the CBC reported heavily your run for a seat in Parliament last year. As one of our newest Ministers besides Belinda Stronach ask them for your own education why the CBC failed in their mandate to report my bid for a seat as well. Better yet if you want to have fun take it out with the nasty dudes inside the warroom of the PCO/PMO offices. I will wager my name is the biggest curse word in Parliament right now. I am certain that is why it is not said over the airwaves or put in print. From now on at least you can never say that you did not know my name too.
I am begging ya, please do not be like two other women who once worked for the CBC Adrienne Clarkson and Michaelle Jean. Nobody is that dumb. They must have deliberatly ignored my laments because Paul Martin directed them to. May I suggest that you read this entire email from the point of view of an ethical Minister in charge of the public interest of the Canadian people? Please do the right thing despite what the leader of your party may wish. If not as you talk the talk on TV etc in the coming months about the doings of CBC and Parliament etc I will walk the walk and complain of many politicans in court. History has proven that in the end the truth usually wins out even if it is ignored in court in the present tense.
By the way guess who is campaigning hard for a fall election? To have an election on Boxing Day is righteously fine by me. I ain't religious. Ask the Holy See or George W. Bush why. I dare ya.

Excerpt from CTV.ca, Canada on Sep 27, 2005 of news by the Canadian Press
"CBC employees in Quebec and Moncton, N.B., are not affected by the lockout.
Information pickets set up early in the day under pouring rain didn't try to stop Prime Minister Paul Martin or Adrienne Clarkson, the Governor General, as they headed in for a morning news conference on Parliament Hill.
Clarkson, who will be replaced Tuesday by Michaelle Jean, governor-general designate, leaned out of her car to speak with CBC pickets.
At the rally, locked-out workers presented petitions signed by thousands of CBC fans calling for an end to the labour dispute.
Heritage Minister Liza Frulla acknowledged the anger of the Canadian public, telling the rally that cabinet ministers have been hearing demands that something be done to get the network back in business.
"All summer, we had messages from the population out there, messages from all through Canada, saying how they miss you," she told the rally. "
I just had to insert the campaign manager for Oscar Doucet for Leader Hélène Lapointe's answer in comical font. It is too funny to do other wise. How is is that dor the local NDP trying hard to play dumb?

Need I say that I am happy the crooked CBC dudes are locked out of work right now? It appears to me that blogging is the only way to go these days. What say you?

"As premier, I am proud of our record,'' Hamm said.
Unlike many of his predecessors, the family doctor is leaving office without a cloud of controversy hanging over his head.

I figured you would do nothing to rock the Queen's boat for reasons of job security. However even you and your pension funds rely on the ethics of the Yankees employed by the SEC in the USA. Perhaps you should side with me ASAP. My kids need a roof over their heads. I am not above suing anyone to get one including the Queen and the Holy See. However it is your job to prosecute criminals not mine. Correct?
"Ted Tax and the Department's Atlantic Regional Office (ARO) were honoured at a Nova Scotia Lieutenant Governor's Awards Ceremony. Tax was presented with a Certificate of Recognition for "contribution to the Reserve Force by taking positive action to assist its employees who are reservists in maintaining their commitments to the Canadian Forces." Following September 11, 2001, there was an increase in the demand for military legal officers on operational deployments. Major John Smithers, a lawyer with the Tax Law Services Section of the ARO, was granted military leave to serve on an overseas mission."
For the record this is the text of the cover letter sent to Baker etc. Lets see what Mr. Speaker has to say now. I believe he is an ex cop ain't he? Lets see if he remembers how to uphold the law. If not don't you think it is high time that the lawyers in the NDP give the crooked Conservative Goverment the Boot? Everybody knows they are lapdogs for George W. Bush. Why else did he make it a point to fly down and see them last year and snub Paul Martin and his cohorts in Ottawa?

Apparently everybody wanted to play dumb about my concerns and allegations so that Humpty Dumpty Martin’s minority government would not fall and they could party hardy while the Queen was in Canada. As you all know months ago, I began faxing, emailing and calling the eight other Lt. Governors I had yet to cross paths with. I fully informed them of my indignation towards the Governor General Clarkson and two of her other Maritime Lieutenants Roberts and Chaisson before the latest wave of bad acting Yankees invaded my home in the USA without warrants or due process if law.
I made certain all of the provincial Attorney Generals and Premiers can never deny the fact that I tried to make them well aware of my concerns and allegations in order to make everybody should sit up and pay attention. Not one person from any of your offices ever responded in any fashion at all. You can be certain that I expected the deliberate ignorance. It is one of the oldest tricks in the book that lawyers employ in order to play their wicked game of see no evil, hear no evil speak no evil. I knew it would happen particularly after Nova Scotia’s Conflict of Interest Commissioner Merlin Nunn had blocked my emails before I had contacted you. I have no doubt it helped to relieve him of his ethical dilemma before the NS NDP decided what to do about their chance to unseat the Conservatives. I have no doubt whatsoever many lawyers in Canada were praying that the Suffolk County District Attorney would have me back in the loony bin by April 28th and that all your troubles would go away. I opted to let you all have your way and did not bother you anymore until the Queen had left our shores and Parliament quit for the summer. Now it is my turn to have some fun and raise a little Political Hell.
While the Queen, Clarkson and Martin where all having a grand old time on the Canadian dime my little Clan went through living hell down here. Trust me, lawyers need to learn some new tricks. Ignorance is no excuse to the law or me. Making some Canadian Attorney Generals and their political buddies show me their arses is child’s play to me after all that I have experienced in the last few years. If you doubt me ask Michael J. Bryant and Yvon Marcoux why I am so pissed at their bosses and the DHS. Then check my work for yourself. If the tag team of John Ashcroft and Tom Ridge could not intimidate me, believe me you people don’t have a prayer. Both of those dudes have quit their jobs but I am still standing and squaring off against their replacements now. If it were not for all the decent folks I know, the snotty ones like you would make me feel ashamed to be a Canadian. There is no shortage of lawyers. It is just that ethical ones that are rare birds, that’s all. You must know how easily the Canadian people can replace you with other lawyers if it becomes widely known how willing you are to ignore crime if it means some fancy dude may be compelled to suffer for his own wrongs.
The justice system is supposed to be self-policing. It should clean up its own act rather than trying to maintain a false mask of integrity for lawyers that are obviously criminals. It is way beyond my understanding why you people would choose to support the likes of Paul Martin, Adrienne Clarkson, T. Alex Hickman and Billy Matthews if you are not all as crooked as hell as well. The deliberate ignorance and double-talk employed by the wealthy few to dodge simple truths is absolutely offensive to ordinary people blessed with the rare attribute called common sense. Not all folks are like sheep.
Paul Martin’s latest tricks make for a very fine example of truly how bad things are. Even amidst wholesale scandals breaking out hell, west and crooked everywhere lawyers and politicians just close ranks and stand together as thick as the thieves they are. I stress tested the ethics of the ladies of the Bloc Quebecois and the Gomery Inquiry immediately after Martin’s carefully orchestrated little circus in Parliament on May 19th was a matter of history. Lets just say I was not surprised to not hear one peep in response from anyone other than to get a call from an unidentified and very nervous but cocky Yankee lawyer claiming that Tony Blair was mad at me.
Pursuant to my phone calls, emails and faxes please find enclosed as promised exactly the same hard copy of what I sent to the Canadian Ambassadors Allan Rock and Franky Boy McKenna and a couple of nasty FBI agents on May 12th just before an interesting event in front of our home in Milton. I have also included a copy of four letters I have received in response since then that you may find interesting to say the least. I also sent you a copy of a letter sent to a lady Ms. Condolezza Rice whom our former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney considers to be the most powerful woman in the world. The CD of the copy of police surveillance tape # 139 is served upon all the above named Attorney Generals as officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.
I will not bother you with the details of what I am sending to you byway of the certified US Mail because I will be serving identical material to many other Canadian Authorities in hand and tell them I gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy of this letter. All that is important to me right now is that I secure proof that this mail was sent before I make my way back home to the Maritimes. However I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material than what Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact the same material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky Boy McKenna in particular received, while I was up home running for Parliament last year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so I have also included a few recent items to spice things up for you. I am tired of trying to convince people employed in law enforcement to uphold the law. So all I will say for now is deal will your own conscience and be careful how you respond to this letter. If you do not respond. Rest assured I will do my best to sue you some day. Ignorance is no excuse to the law or me.

The enclosed letter from The Public Service Integrity Office, whose boss recently testified before the Gomery Inquiry and following quotes prove why I must speak out.
"Well what do you expect?" said Le Hir in reaction. "Anybody who had been involved in that kind of thing isn't going to admit readily, or willfully, to having participated." Asked why he's waited 10 years to come out with his allegations, Le Hir said he was "sworn to secrecy." "I'm breaking that oath, and the only way I could have been relieved by that oath was by a judge in a court saying, 'Mr. Lehir, I understand that you have made an oath of secrecy; and you're hereby relieved of that oath."
"Mr. Wallace added that police and the courts, not internal rules, are best-equipped to deal with bureaucrats who cross the line and break the law. But Judge Gomery did not appear satisfied. "It takes a major scandal to get the police involved," he said. "It is not in the nature of the public service to call in the police."
Everybody knows that in order to protect the rights and interests of my Clan and to sooth my own soul, I have proven many times over that all lawyers, law enforcement authorities, and politicians in Canada and the USA are not worthy of the public trust. I maintain that their first order of business is to protect the evil longstanding system they have created for their own benefit rather than the people they claim to serve. Call me a liar and put it in writing. I Double Dog Dare ya.
Baker got my material. So did everyone else. Only the Attorney General in Quecbec refused it. I bet our newest Governor General knows why. It is likely for the same reason she will not accept my emails. It should be obvious to anyone why I must sue the Crown.
