Deja Vu Anyone???

Dr. France Desrosiers, Vitalité president and CEO, has agreed to meet with the northern New Brunswick mayors within a couple of weeks to discuss their concerns. (Radio-Canada)

Obstetric services at the Campbellton Regional Hospital will not be reopening any time soon, according to the head of the Vitalité Health Network, despite growing pressure from local politicians and citizens.

Vitalité "has always aimed" to resume delivering babies in Campbellton, said president and CEO Dr. France Desrosiers.

"However, this is not something that is going to happen on a short-term basis as we lack two family doctors, one to two surgeons or gynecologists and about [20] nurses specialized in obstetrics," she said in an emailed statement.

Earlier this week, a Campbellton woman called for the return of obstetric services at the local hospital and improved wildlife fencing along Highway 11 after she hit a moose on her way to Bathurst for the birth of her first grandchild early Saturday morning.

Amanda Johnson wouldn't have been travelling the highway, around 3 a.m., if her daughter Mallory Raymond had been able to have her baby at the Campbellton hospital.

Vitalité announced in April 2020 that obstetrical and pediatric services were being "temporarily interrupted" until further notice, because of a lack of pediatricians in northern New Brunswick and the absence of regular locum physicians due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since then, women in the Restigouche region have had to travel the roughly 100 kilometres to the Chaleur Regional Hospital in Bathurst to give birth.

Campbellton Mayor Ian Comeau attended Vitalité's annual general meeting Tuesday, intending to give the board an "earful."

Although Johnson walked away with minor cuts and bruises, "the region has been woken up," he had said, noting Johnson's daughter and her unborn child also could have been injured or even killed that night.

Comeau wasn't able to address the board during the meeting. Ten days advance notice is required to speak or ask any questions, he said.

I think it's more important to count the new births than to count people that die on our highways.

- Ian Comeau, Campbellton mayor

But he had a "good discussion" with Desrosiers during a break.

"I said, I think it's more important to count the new births than to count people that die on our highways."

Desrosiers promised to meet with the northern New Brunswick mayors within a couple of weeks, he said, to discuss the lack of obstetric services at the Campbellton hospital and other health-care concerns.

Vitalité spokesperson Thomas Lizotte confirmed Wednesday that Desrosiers will indeed meet with the northern mayors "in the next couple weeks."

Desrosiers mentioned during the annual general meeting that, "It's really our vision to talk to our communities, to think together, to make choices together," Lizotte said in an emailed statement.

"We want to build solutions together."

The mayors are "due for an update of the different files. We want to present them with the status of our current resources," Desrosiers added.

Only delivery services are temporarily closed at the Campbellton hospital, noted Lizotte. Pre- and post-obstetrical services are still available within the facility, he said.

Comeau is "happy" about the pending meeting with Desrosiers.

"At least the eight mayors will be able to sit down with her and explain our concerns, see where their intentions are in regards to obstetrics."

Comeau wants to discuss the possibility of training other medical staff to handle deliveries at the Campbellton hospital.

Making the 100 kilometres drive between Campbellton and Bathurst, which he describes as "moose valley" is "not acceptable," he said.

"So I think she's going to come ready to listen."

The Restigouche Regional Service Commission is scheduled to meet Wednesday night and Comeau expects it will send Desrosiers a formal invitation.

Alleged discrimination

Campbellton-Dalhousie MP Guy Arseneault said he was upset by Johnson's accident and also finds the situation unacceptable.

"I think Vitalité owes us explanations why obstetrics is not reopened in Campbellton," he said.

He alleges the population has lost confidence in the administration of the health network.

"I sincerely believe that there is discrimination against the people of Restigouche, it is demonstrated by this accident, in two [points] — the fences against animals and also obstetrics," he said.

Campbellton city council discussed Johnson's accident, the loss of obstetric services and the need for improved wildlife fencing during its meeting Monday night, according to Comeau.

"The council is as concerned as I am, as the citizens. We want something done."

He has begun drafting letters to Premier Blaine Higgs and a couple of ministers, calling on them to address the issues, he said. Comeau plans to send the letters within a couple of days.

There is no fencing along a 40-kilometre stretch of a wooded area between Campbellton and Belledune, according to Comeau.

Campbellton woman calls for return of obstetric services after moose collision

Amanda Johnson hit a moose on her way to the Bathurst hospital to meet her first grandchild

Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon · CBC News · Posted: Jun 20, 2022 10:45 PM AT

A Campbellton woman is calling for the return of obstetric services at the local hospital and improved wildlife fencing along the highway after she hit a moose on her way to the Bathurst hospital for the birth of her first grandchild.

Amanda Johnson says she awoke Saturday around 2:45 a.m. to a call from her "very pregnant" daughter Mallory Raymond, who also lives in Campbellton and was on her way to the Chaleur Regional Hospital in Bathurst.

"She said, 'You better come. It's time."

Johnson stumbled out of bed and rushed to get ready.

She wanted to take her smaller SUV to save money on gas during the roughly one-hour drive, but something told her to take her boyfriend's GMC Sierra truck instead, she said.

"And I'm glad I did."

She headed onto Highway 11, passing directly in front of the Campbellton Regional Hospital to travel to another hospital, about 100 kilometres away, she noted.

Obstetrics service 'temporarily interrupted' in 2020

The Vitalité Health Network announced in April 2020 that obstetrical and pediatric services at the Campbellton hospital were being "temporarily interrupted" until further notice, because of a lack of pediatricians in northern New Brunswick and the absence of regular locum physicians due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The highway was dark and foggy, said Johnson.

"I was very, very nervous. I was driving slower than usual because I know that there's a lot of moose in this area."

She kept her eyes on the road and a firm grip on the steering wheel.

About 20 minutes into the drive, just as she was settling in, bam, "out of nowhere," she felt an impact on the passenger side of the truck. "I had no time to react."

The windows shattered and the airbags deployed.

She had struck a moose.

Will never forget it

The experience "will forever be etched in my memory," Johnson posted on Facebook.

"The sheer sight of it. The sound it made when it hit my truck. The explosion of the air bag (yes they explode) The smell of the fumes. The pain I felt in my both wrists. The stinging and burning sensations from the airbag hitting me at warp speeds. The seat belt that now has me pinned into my seat! I can't unfasten it and it's hurting me.

"My ears stop ringing, I regain my senses and realize what just happened. It's now all of a sudden VERY dark, VERY quiet and I am VERY alone in the middle of the woods on Highway 11 with a dead moose beside my truck."

I think it's terrible that there's a beautiful hospital right in our own backyard, and we have to travel all that way to receive the services.

- Amanda Johnson, Campbellton

Johnson called 911 and waited for first responders to arrive, while bugs were "eating [her] alive." It was 3:37 a.m.

When she saw headlights appear in the distance, it was "very scary" because she thought the vehicle might hit her, as she was still in the traffic lane.

But the vehicle stopped and she realized it was the baby's other grandparents on their way to the hospital.

"I'm grateful for that."

Before long, an ambulance arrived, followed by a police car, fire truck and tow truck.

Johnson has "quite a bit of bruising" from the seatbelt and airbag, her wrists are injured from the impact on the steering wheel, and she has some "minor" cuts, but she considers herself lucky.

The paramedics wanted to transport her to he hospital by ambulance, but Johnson, who worked as a licensed practical nurse for 18 years and now teaches, didn't feel that was necessary.

Her boyfriend did drive her to the ER to get checked out though, and to get a couple of X-rays, just to make sure nothing was broken.

Hopes to prompt change

Amid the chaos, Johnson received a message that her daughter had delivered a baby boy, Maddox, and both were healthy and doing well.

So her story had a happy ending, but Johnson decided to post about it on social media to "raise awareness" and encouraged others to share it in hopes of prompting change.

"We shouldn't be forced to travel," she said. "We have [the Campbellton Regional Hospital] here and it should be equipped to deal with something as simple as labour and delivery," as it used to be.

"My daughter had no choice but to go to Bathurst hospital to deliver her baby. And, you know, Bathurst hospital was great, don't get me wrong. But I think it's terrible that there's a beautiful hospital right in our own backyard and we have to travel all that way to receive the services."

If people are forced to travel, Johnson said, there should be "safer roadways."

There's been "countless" moose accidents, involving near misses, injuries and deaths, she said.

"The fences that they do have are not maintained. And there's a very large section of highway between here and Bathurst that is not fenced off at all."

More than 1.7K shares

Johnson says she hesitated about posting her story publicly, realizing it would likely cause a "stir," but decided a stir is what's needed.

As of Monday night, her noon post has been shared more than 1,700 times and received more than 200 comments.

She says she's not surprised at the response.

"It's been a topic of discussion around here for months and months."

But she is surprised by how quickly people responded.

"As soon as I hit that post button, my phone immediately started exploding with messages with text messages, emails, friend requests on Facebook from people, strangers [and] news reporters," she said.

"I think I've done my part by sharing my story, and I'm leaving it in the hands of the politicians. Hopefully, something will be done."

'We've had it,' says mayor

Campbellton Mayor Ian Comeau, who knows Johnson, is among those who commented on her post and will be taking up the charge at Vitalité Health Network's annual general meeting.

"An eye opener for our provincial politicians and Vitalité — This is not acceptable — I'm attending Vitalité's AGM tomorrow, and get ready for an [EARFUL]," he wrote in his Monday post.

"Time we get some respect in Restigouche / Zone 5."

Comeau told CBC News he shared Johnson's post with some ministers and planned to raise the issue at Monday night's council meeting.

"They may send me [to the Vitalité AGM] with a message, and and we'll be talking with our MLAs as well," he said.

Comeau also plans to raise it Wednesday at the Regional Service Commission meeting, where the eight mayors of the Restigouche region meet with the local service district representative.

"It takes things like this to wake up people, wake up a region, and the region has been woken up," he said, noting Johnson's daughter and her unborn child also could have been injured or even killed that night.

Ian Comeau, mayor of Campbellton. said if Johnson or her daughter or her unborn grandson had been killed in a moose collision, roads might have ended up blocked with protesters. (Zoom)

"We've had it … And I'm very, very happy that nobody was killed because, you know, you may have had something severe tomorrow at Vitalité's AGM or roads may have been blocked [with protesters].

"I'm going to tell you, they better start thinking of the north."

Comeau said obstetrics services at the Campbellon Regional Hospital must be restored and proposed training nurses, paramedics, or other medical staff to handle deliveries.

"We have to do something," he said. Making people travel to Bahurst is "simply not acceptable."

That stretch of Highway 11 is "very dangerous," said Comeau, describing it as "moose valley."

"We've sent that message to Premier Higgs in the past and we had received a letter that, 'Well, we recommend not to drive at night,' which is, I'm not going to use the language on the radio. But, you know, we have to get some services here, some fair services."

The hospital serves about 30,000 residents in Restigouche and another 15,000 from the Quebec side, he said. "Our population needs to be safe. We all pay taxes."

Vitalité responsible for staffing

Vitalité officials did not respond to a request for comment.

The regional health authorities are responsible for staffing, said Department of Health spokesperson Michelle Guenard.

The department "understands that staffing challenges within the provincial health-care system have forced some citizens to travel for specific health-care services," she said.

The Provincial Health Plan should help, said Guenard.

It will "benefit all New Brunswickers by setting out clear objectives when it comes to access to primary health care and surgery, to improving service delivery, health professional recruitment and retention, and creating a connected system," she said in an emailed statement.

The plan "lays out the building blocks to ensure a better system long term, a system that can continue to grow, improve and be maintained."

'Collison hotspot' study underway

The Department of Transportation, meanwhile, is studying the "top collision hotspots" across the province using the latest available data, from 2019, said spokesperson Jeremy Trevors.

Sections of Highway 11, including in the north of the province near Campbellton, Dalhousie and Bathurst, are included in the study areas, he said.

"Over the next several months, [the department] will be conducting a feasibility study for [wildlife] fence installation," Trevors said in an emailed statement.

"Once the feasibility study is complete, [the department] plans to develop the next phase of wildlife mitigation projects for incorporation into the long-term capital planning process."

It's "not possible" to have wildlife fencing along every roadway, said Trevors. Private driveways and rights-of-way, for example, make it "a challenge" on non-controlled access highways.

The department uses other methods to mitigate the risk of wildlife collisions, he noted. These include signage with warning lights to alert motorists to slow down, and regular brush-cutting to improve visibility along roadways.

Health-care collaboration on the table as Atlantic premiers finally
get in-person meeting

Premiers discuss key issues, say they won't pursue permanent daylight
saving time unless other regions do

Mia Urquhart · CBC News · Posted: Mar 21, 2022 6:07 PM AT

Higgs, Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King and Newfoundland and
Labrador Premier Andrew Furey. (Government of Nova Scotia)

The four Atlantic premiers held their first in-person meeting since
before the pandemic on Monday, where they discussed a regional
approach to health care and other key regional issues.

At the meeting, held in Halifax and chaired by Nova Scotia Premier Tim
Houston, the premiers talked about a unified effort to recruit and
retain health-care professionals and using potential "excesses" to
assist patients in neighbouring provinces.

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs said the four provinces are not in
competition with each other and will be working together to attract
health-care workers to the region.

Higgs also said they discussed how provinces can share existing
resources. For example, if one area has an "excess" of some service,
it could be used by patients from other provinces.

"If we have excess capability and we can utilize that, let's not get
hung up on where it is," Higgs said at a wrap-up briefing with the
media following the Council of Atlantic Premiers meeting.

He said the patient's home province would pay for the service, but the
patient would have to travel to where the service is being offered.

Houston said all four Atlantic provinces are experiencing similar
challenges when it comes to health care.

"It's safe to say that health care remains top of mind for each of our
provinces and our populations. The shortage of health-care workers is
not exclusive to Atlantic Canada, certainly not exclusive to Nova
Scotia. It's felt everywhere."

Making it easier for health-care workers to travel between provinces
is part of the solution, he said.

Currently, licensing criteria and fees structures are unique to each
province and complicate mobility between provinces.

Making it easier for health-care workers to travel between provinces
means they could "move around and help each other out," Houston said.

"We are one region and there's lots of family ties between them," he
said. "And so those are the opportunities that I'm looking forward
to."

Houston said there was a "high degree of interest in harmonizing that stuff."
Newfoundland Premier Andrew Furey said the ultimate goal would be for
one licensing system for health-care professionals like doctors.
(Government of Newfoundland and Labrador)

Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey said "one of the
lessons learned from COVID … [is] that health-care mobility is
important."

Furey, who has worked as a doctor around the world, said Canada is
fortunate to have "a robust licensing system that could be applied
blanket-statement to the whole country."

"We are very well trained in Canada," he said. "Once you're licensed
in any jurisdiction, there's no reason to think that you shouldn't be
able to practice medicine somewhere else."

Furey said the "exact model and instrument" still has to be
determined, but that a single entity controlling the licensing of
health-care professionals would be the goal.

Health care was just one of the issues on the agenda. They also
discussed a regional approach to economic recovery, cost of living,
immigration and energy.
Daylight saving time

The premiers also talked about the movement in other areas to
establish daylight saving time year-round.

Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King said islanders support the
idea of getting rid of the twice-yearly time change — as long as
they're not the only ones doing it.

In the United States, one of the two chambers of Congress passed a
bill that would make daylight time permanent instead of the current
March-through-November schedule.

The U.S. Senate passed the bill last week with support from both
parties. If it becomes law, it would mean an extra hour of daylight in
the evenings year-round.

In Canada, Ontario has a law passed and ready to be implemented if New
York and Quebec do the same.

"I think if that were to happen, we would have to react collectively
here in some way, shape or form," King said on Monday.

"Essentially, we've all sort of decided that this doesn't make sense
for one of us to do this. If we are to proceed with something, it
would be … on a regional basis in response to what might be done in
other places."

Higgs said there's also interest in New Brunswick in eliminating the
twice-yearly time change.

But until other regions make a move, Higgs said, the Atlantic
provinces won't pursue it.

CEO cites hospitalizations and staff absences being 'stable' over past
month, notes $24M operating deficit

Vitalité Health Network, said services are gradually resuming.

COVID-19 is "not over in hospitals," says the president and CEO of the
Vitalité Health Network.

Dr. France Desrosiers made the comments during an update to the board
of directors Tuesday.

New Brunswick lifted all of its COVID-19 restrictions Monday, but
Vitalité remains at the red alert level due to the number of
hospitalizations and absent health-care workers, Desrosiers said
during the public meeting.

"The number of hospitalizations has remained stable I would say over
the last month. The number of absenteeism is also stable, but it is
still present.

"So as soon as we are able to resume service, we resume it. Sometimes,
we have to revise downwards and we go back up as soon as possible
again."

As of Saturday, the most recent figures available, there were 99
people with COVID-19 hospitalized across both the Vitalité and Horizon
health networks, down from 103 on Friday, including three people aged
19 or under.

Thirteen people required intensive care, down from 14, and seven of
them were on ventilators, unchanged.

Of those in hospital, 46 were admitted for COVID-19, and 53 were
initially admitted for something else when they tested positive for
the virus. Of the 13 in an ICU, 11 are "for COVID" patients.

The seven-day average of COVID-related hospitalizations increased to
98 Saturday, from 96, while the seven-day average of COVID-related ICU
bed occupancies was 13, up from 12.

There were 513 health-care workers off Saturday after testing positive
for COVID-19, down from 577. That includes 154 from Vitalité, 300 from
Horizon and 59 from Extra-Mural and Ambulance New Brunswick.

As of last Thursday, another 76 Vitalité health-care workers were
isolating because they had been a close contact of a positive case.

Hospital capacity provincewide was listed at 90 per cent, up from 89
per cent on Friday, while ICU occupancy decreased to 71 per cent, from
77 per cent.

Vitalité and Horizon both announced last week that their hospitals and
health-care facilities would remain at the red level, despite the
province lifting all mandatory measures in the community.

Vitalité is adjusting on a daily basis and services are gradually
resuming, said Desrosiers.
Pandemic-related costs for 2021-22 reach $26M

But she noted the regional health authority recorded an operating
deficit of $24 million for the first nine months of the fiscal year,
largely due to additional expenses related to the pandemic.

Desrosiers highlighted the challenges faced by human resources.

"The network took into account that a significant number of
health-care workers had to be taken off the job due to the virus at
one time or another. The quick and efficient redeployment of resources
has made it possible to provide essential services and to cope with
the rapid increase in the number of hospitalized patients with
COVID-19," she said.

Pandemic-related costs between April 1 and Dec. 31, 2021, totalled
$26.2 million, the board heard.

"Through careful and responsible management of the pandemic's fifth
wave, we have emerged from this crisis with the sense that we did what
needed to be done," Desrosiers said in a statement.

absenteeism triggering school closures

New Brunswick devises confusing way to measure vaccine protection

Blood test and radiography services are almost completely restored,
with some backlog to be cleared up.

Surgical services vary "from 75 to 80 per cent" of normal capacity,
depending on the location, said Desrosiers.

"Sometimes there are areas that are 100 per cent, others are 50 per
cent. It really varies on a daily basis," she said.

The province has passed the peak of the Omicron variant, according to
Dr. Jennifer Russell, the province's chief medical officer of health.

"Yes, we do have a continued level of hospitalizations, but we're
managing," she told CBC on Monday.

With the lifting of restrictions, some increases in hospitalizations
and cases are expected, said Russell.

But they won't be overwhelming, she said, citing modelling, which has
not been made public.

A plan, a plan, do you believe?
Is it me? Am I the only one hearing generalities, but no specifics?
We have to note, just the other day, both Scheer and Trudeau promised
big bucks in transfers for health care. So would it be prudent to
assume "business as usual" in the health care file until the money
fairy stops by? If the money fairy stops by?
We must remember too, you need a referral from a GP (typically your
family doctor) to see a mental health professional. So maybe the first
order of business would be addressing the shortage of GPs?
Whatever rabbit Mr Higgs pulls out of his hat, rebuilding a very
broken system will take time and money.

David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Terry Tibbs: Its all just talk Higgs and his cohorts have
yet to provide me with a Health Care Card However 11 years ago the
liberals had no problem whatsoever squandering precious health care
resources by falsely imprisoning a political opponent in a mental ward
for the benefit of the conservative buddies Greg Thompson and Carl
Urquhart. Methinks the truly funny part of it all is that the shrinks
never got paid for their malicious services and now they try hard to
pretend it never happened and don't know who I am even though they
know I have the RCMP's documents with the doctor's signature N'esy
Pas?

Lewis Taylor
Reply to @David Raymond Amos:
things are really messed up in your alternative universe. If you were
placed in a mental facility then it was most certainly for just cause.
This is not done randomly. Furthermore, the physicians who attempted
to treat you were certainly paid by Medicare and if you think doctors
remember every single patient and document they may have signed while
on call or otherwise then i would suggest that you treatment was
unsuccessful.

Marijuana is only going to make it worse. If we can't ban this

Cannabis NB. Why sanitize this seedy habit.

only thing keeping some soldiers alive that are suffering from PTSD
because we sent them to foreign countries to be shot at and see body

gets its fair share. The comedian turned deputy Premier is not too
talkative since he won his Northeast riding. They gave him the title

The policies of this province help cause mental illness. And now it is
telling us it is going to help solve the problem? Just look at the
overall healthcare system that is focused on treatment rather than
prevention and you'll understand just how impossible that will be.

hey, at least the politicians still get their perks and raises!!

Reply to @June Arnott:
Hard to say. Both major applicants for the top federal job have
promised a visit from the health care money fairy if elected. So it
might be prudent to think that is the source of all the new found
health care spending that Mr Higgs is promising. I suspect we shall
have to wait and see...........
There is going to be a bit of a jackpot if regional government comes

Indeed those suffering from mental health problems need more help so
they can become productive members of society. If someone has a broken
leg, we don't write them off for life, we fix the leg. Why do people
not understand that mental health is the same as any part of the body,
fixable. When placed under immense stress and strain, it too can break
and because it's the hard rive of the body, it's essential we have the
best treatment for it. We also need to ban marijuana and make sure New
Brunswick is a drug free zone so that fewer people end up with mental
health issues that marijuana and other drugs are known to cause, and
so that more money is then available for those who have mental health
issues not self inflicted by drugs. It's an outrage that we are
subsidizing fancy stores for marijuana drug users while mental health
service suffers.

Dalhousie's walk-in clinic remains closed without definitive reopening date

Region's only walk-in clinic has been closed for over a month

The Restigouche region's only walk-in clinic will not reopen this week
as expected.

The clinic at the St. Joseph Community Health Centre in Dalhousie
closed its doors at the end of January in response to a staffing
shortage. At the time, the Vitalité Health Network said the temporary
closure would only last a month.

But this week, it remained closed with no clear timeline on if or when
the clinic will start taking patients again.

Dalhousie Mayor Normand Pelletier said residents without a primary
care provider or facing long waits for an appointment don't know where
to turn to.

"They're extremely disappointed, they're scared," he said. "They don't
know where they're going to go for medical help in Restigouche County
anymore."

Dalhousie residents demand improved doctor recruitment after
clinic temporarily closes

Residents held a protest last month calling on the health authority to
improve recruitment of health care providers. At the time of the
clinic's closure, only two out of six physician positions were filled
– with one doctor on leave.

The Vitalité Health Network has not announced a new reopening date.

Health Centre. (Alexandre Silberman/CBC)

Spokesperson Thomas Lizotte said all other services at the community
health centre, including a collaborative practice and ambulatory
services, remain available to patients.

"Discussions are still ongoing with the Department of Health to ensure
strategic alignment with the new Health Plan," Thomas wrote in an
email.

There are 4,200 patients with a regular primary care provider at the
collaborative practice.

In an interview last month, Jacques Duclos, vice-president of
community services and mental health, said family physicians found the
workload of the walk-in clinic "unsustainable" because it took away
from the collaborative practice.

He said discussions are focused on rethinking the primary care model,
spurred by the province's new health plan and improvements to virtual
care.

Residents are calling on the Vitalité Health Network to improve
recruitment of doctors and nurses for the Restigouche region. 3:03

Restigouche County has one of the province's oldest populations and is
facing a significant shortage of 13 primary care providers. Without
the clinic, residents have been waiting at the emergency room at the
Campbellton Regional Hospital, or driving an hour south to Bathurst.

Pelletier said town council and the regional service commission have
heard no updates on recruitment since the demonstration. Now, he's
requesting a meeting with Health Minister Dorothy Shepard to ask for
increased control locally.

"Probably we'd be better served under Horizon," he said.

During the pandemic, the clinic had shifted to an appointment-only
model. Patients could no longer just show up and instead needed to
call in to get a spot.

2021-06-08 | Mis à jour aujourd’hui à 12 h 59

Le premier ministre du Nouveau-Brunswick Blaine Higgs a publiquement
mis au défi le Dr Jean-Robert Ngola en lui demandant de l'autoriser à
révéler des informations privées potentiellement incriminantes. Un
geste qui n’est pas passé inaperçu par l’opposition, mardi.

Le Dr Ngola faisait face, jusqu'à tout récemment, à des accusations
pour avoir enfreint la loi sur les mesures d’urgence durant la
pandémie. Ces accusations ont été abandonnées vendredi.

Blaine Higgs, qui refuse toujours de s’excuser, dit maintenant détenir
des informations possiblement compromettantes, mais qu’il ne peut
divulguer en vertu de la Loi sur la protection de la vie privée.

"J’ai de l’information qui n’a jamais été révélée publiquement",
a-t-il lancé mardi.

Blaine Higgs demande au Dr Ngola de promettre de ne pas le poursuivre
pour violation de la vie privée, ce qui lui permettrait de dévoiler
l’information demeurée secrète jusqu’ici.
Une attaque envers un citoyen racialisé, selon les avocats

L'équipe de défense du Dr Ngola a vivement dénoncé les propos de
Blaine Higgs. Elle se demande à quelles informations il fait
référence.

"Si M. Higgs a d’autres preuves, rien ne l'empêche de nous les envoyer
à nous, les avocats du Dr Jean-Robert Ngola. De cette façon, Dr Ngola
n’aura pas à renoncer à son droit à la vie privée comme le demande M.
Higgs", écrivent dans une déclaration les avocats Christian Michaud et
Joël Étienne.

Ils rappellent que le médecin a fait l'objet de "l’enquête la plus
complète à laquelle un citoyen ait jamais été confronté dans
l'histoire du Nouveau-Brunswick" et qu'il a été entièrement disculpé
vendredi.

"Le premier ministre Higgs a utilisé son titre et son privilège
parlementaire pour attaquer un citoyen racialisé et un homme
innocent", déclarent-ils.

Les avocats ont donné sept jours au premier ministre pour s'excuser à
la suite de l'abandon des accusations. Ils envisagent des actions
supplémentaires s'ils n'en obtiennent pas d'ici la fin de la semaine.
À écouter :

Inacceptable, dit l'opposition

Les paroles du premier ministre ont été vivement dénoncées par
l’opposition à Fredericton.

Le chef du Parti vert du Nouveau-Brunswick, David Coon, a indiqué
qu’il était "inacceptable" pour le premier ministre "d’avoir un enjeu
personnellement avec un citoyen du Nouveau-Brunswick."

Le député libéral de Moncton-Centre, Rob Mckee, a pour sa part ajouté
qu’il était "inquiétant" que le premier ministre détienne de
l’information personnelle liée au Dr Ngola.

"Ça veut dire qu’il est en possession d’information privée que
seulement le bureau du procureur devrait avoir, en ce qui concerne la
poursuite publique contre le docteur, donc pourquoi est-ce que le
premier ministre est en possession de ces informations", a-t-il
demandé.

"Ce n’est vraiment pas la façon dont un premier ministre devrait

Blaine Higgs n’a pas voulu expliquer pourquoi il était en possession
d’informations personnelles concernant le Dr Ngola.

>> I am sending this to you folks as a beginning of some information you
>> need to know. On May 13, 2011, the day I was beaten up by police at
>> Ambulance New Brunswick on 24 Harold Doherty Dr., in Fredericton, I
>> had originally agreed to meet with Charles LeBlanc for the first at
>> the front of the Legislature. I had spoken with my MLA Brian
>> MacDonald on the 12th and I made him aware that I was doing the
>> interview due to him and others not looking into the corruption.
>>
>> On May 13, 2011, I later learned that Premier David Alward and Health
>> Minister Madeleine Dube had gone to Moncton or St. John and I believe
>> it was to open an ambulance or to do with something about a new part
>> of the hospital. I sort of flagged this in mind because I thought
>> this is convenient that they are both out of town when I got beaten.
>>
>> I had arranged a few days earlier to meet Charles LeBlanc however,
>> that morning I wrote him an email and cancelled saying I was not well
>> which was true as is in the police records when they charged me.
>> However, the timeline to deliver the Right to Information was up that
>> day and in the afternoon I forced myself to go downtown and serve
>> them. I first went to Cox and Palmer Law Firm, then to the Court
>> House to see Craig Carleton and then to the N.B. Police Commission and
>> secretary/receptionist Julie Williams accepted the documents.
>>
>> Then I went to Ambulance N.B. where they seemingly were expecting me.
>> I felt then as I do today that they were call by someone and were
>> expecting me.
>>
>> 1. On the day of that Friday, May 13, 2011, I had an email from
>> Charles LeBlanc saying all of a sudden his blog was shut down.
>> However, as I reported at the time, I smelled a rat and I told Mr.
>> LeBlanc this and later after that day I asked to do an interview in
>> front of the Justice Bld. and Charles LeBlanc refused, saying he was
>> interviewing Mayor Woodside at City Hall. Then there was this big ten
>> minute or more interview on Charles' blog with the Mayor and the Mayor
>> was saying things like, "When I pick you up in the winter and give you
>> a drive ........ (this was to Charles). I smelled a rat then as I do
>> not and I sent Charles a letter and copied all government heads saying
>> he would make the perfect stooge for the mayor and others.
>>
>> Look at the next few emails, please.
>>
>> It was Sally Brooks who wanted me to meet with her and Charles LeBlanc
>> at the coffee shop last week and I told Sally I did not trust him.
>> She said he has ADHD and is harmless and that when he was in court he
>> could hardly talk. I told her that this did not compute in my mind,
>> because he can stand in front of the police station on another day and
>> blurt the hell out of himself yelling things at the police and writing
>> all this stuff on the blog. Sally said just come and see. That
>> morning, Charles LeBlanc could hardly look me in the fact and I told
>> Sally that and she said she noticed but she felt it was nothing. In
>> fact, I gave him $10 for coffee and he took our picture and put it on
>> the blog. Howevr, he wanted to only put things on the blog which was
>> really Sally and My blog but he wanted to control what went in and
>> out. For ex. he did not want to print anything about the letter I
>> wrote the Police Commission and I copied other people, including David
>> Amos who to this date, I have not yet met. However, David does speak
>> the truth to my mind. He may be blunt, but he says it like it is. I
>> told Sally I thought Charles and David were friends behind closed
>> doors, but I have now changed that idea. For ex. at no time did
>> Charles LeBlanc ever tell me about Andre Murray's plight with the same
>> police officer who beat me, Cst. Nancy Rideout nor did he mention any
>> of the facts, but knew my story. I just recently learned of Andre
>> Murray and the common denomination we have in common: "police abuse".
>>
>> Please read the next few emails and see what you think. Then on
>> Friday, Sally said she met with Charles at his house and she was late
>> to meet me for lunch. She did not mention that they were walking on
>> the street as has been written on our blog. However, Sally told me to
>> just let Charles do the whole process of the blog and not send
>> anything to him but brief comments as Charles is not well enough to
>> understand my topics of police commission willfull blindness. I said
>> okay, but she did not say they were together on the streets nor
>> mention anything like that, just that she was late because of doing
>> errands.
>>
>> Please remember that nothing about my story was ever written in the
>> Brunswick Newspaper owned by irving and this is the case with Mr.
>> Andre Murray. Why? Why would Jacques Poitras refuse to write
>> anything and basically threw me out of the CBC a couple weeks ago,
>> saying I wrote his boss, Hubert Lacroix. I asked Mr. Lacrois since
>> that time if Mr. Poitras has any connection with the female crown
>> prosecutor, Ms. Poitras in Bathurst, N.B.
>>
>> Then someone wrote recently that our finance minister, mr. Higgs used
>> to work for Irvings.
>>
>> I have continually asked if Irving or his son, Kenneth, who up and
>> left the Irvings shortly after my beating took place and went to
>> Kinross Gold may have anything to do with Ambulance N.B. and the big
>> contract its partner, Medavie EMS which is a private, for-profit co.
>> that has common shares and because it is a private co., the
>> shareholders do not need to be mentioned at corporate records due to
>> N.B. legislative statute under Private Act and corporations. For ex.,
>> Medavie EMS partnered with NB EMS and that too is partnered with
>> Ambulance N.B. They won a lucrative bid for sending a fleet of
>> ambulances from Canada to Trinidad for $90 million a year. Was it in
>> our newspaper. I did not see it. Also, I have shared with many of
>> you the corporate documents showing irregularities in the letters
>> patent and the incorporation of Medavie EMS which is signed by a
>> lawyer in Halifax who is with the law firm, Stewart McKelvey who
>> represents Ambulance N.B. Inc. I wrote the Trinidad Government and I
>> got hold of the paper from Trinidad, the TNT Mirror saying the
>> Attorney General was concerned about irregularities in the contract
>> and Medavie EMS had written asking what was the hold up. I then
>> forwarded my story about getting beaten up at Ambulance NB Inc. and
>> there was no investigation albeit I informed the Premier, David Alward
>> and all other ministers. It is my understanding too that in order for
>> a P3 partnership that EMS set up with Ambulance NB it is supposed to
>> be okayed with the Cabinet. In fact the Minister has to sign off on
>> it. However, it was signed by a different Minister, Jack Keir, on
>> behalf of Minister Greg Byrne who Mr. Keir said was out of the country
>> at the time. I asked the secretaries at Service NB who Jack Keir is
>> and they did not know, but I later found out and called Mr. Keir. He
>> told me he is no longer the minister and did not know what he was
>> signing, saying he is a North shore, St. John New Brunswicker and not
>> a lawyer. I have the documentation and it is questionable. I sent
>> this information to Finance Minister Blaine Higgs and he did not
>> respond. I went to see Kim MacPherson, our auditor general and she
>> said she had no obligation to report it. She said she knew nothing
>> about this P3 deal and she would not talk further, telling her
>> secretary, Heather, to tell me she could not help me in my plight for
>> justice and almost being beaten to death while wearing an implanted
>> heart defibrillator and reported sick to the paramedic station. This
>> is documented by others, not just me.
>>
>> Then I checked the records for Ambulance N.B. Inc. and find that the
>> lawyer for the Minister of Health, Charles Murray is on the Board of
>> Directors, as is Donald J. Peters the CEO of Horizon Health Network
>> also known as Regional Health Authority B and is over the Dr. Everett
>> Chalmers Hospital where my problems first stemmed. It is scary

>>
>> Pls. read on.

>> Wait for the next few emails and then let me know what you think of

>> questions you posed to them in your letter of Dec. 2011 about the CCTV
>> evidence and the Audio evidence.
>>
>> (1) Surely you are not going to accept the perjured evidence of Robin
>> O'Hara and go ahead now and subpoena the main information straight
>> from Atlantic alarm and sound right off the original data base or
>> where it is initially (originally) recorded? You need this according
>> to the head of the company.
>>
>> (2) Where is the evidence of the 911 call from Ambulance N.B. to the
>> police.
>>
>> (3) Did you get the statement from the Ambulance N.B. and the Police
>> why the police were called in the first place when I was sitting
>> quietly, and felt sick, and was no harm to myself or anyone else. Why
>> was that called placed to the police and why did four police officers
>> and four cars arrive when it was not even an emergency? Do you not
>> see that my Charter rights were violated to a high (not low or
>> moderate degree) ending up with me having bodily injury and no police
>> report made out that I have seen, and as per the rules of the Police
>> Act, when personal injury happenes to a person in custody?
>>
>> (4) Why did the police investigate themselves when I made a complaint
>> of abuse against them to the Chief of Police? Who investigated this
>> and where are their reports?
>>
>> (5) Where is the report of NCO Horseman when he took my complaints
>> and my statement? What did he say?
>>
>> (6) I need the answers requested from David Banks, the dispatch head
>> at the police station for all 911 calls.
>>
>> (7) Did you ask the police to explain the different dispatchers on
>> the call and the questions posed to the crown about the video
>> tampering evidence supplied by Ms. Brooks?
>>
>> (8) Judge Richards had said to prosecutor Rose Campbell that Greene
>> needs a lawyer and she was looking into, but then a new Judge (Judge
>> Jackson) came on the case and I told him about this but he did not
>> look into it.
>>
>> (9) Where are the answers to the other questions you posed such as
>> why Constable Rideout was on the phone while in the police car taking
>> me to Headquarters and reporting that I was loud and out of control
>> but this was not picked up on the audio of the call.
>>
>> (10)Why were the ambulance dispatched to 24 Doherty Drive for almost 8
>> minutes after I was taken to headquarters? I need their reports as to
>> why and what they were doing there? I have asked Fire Chief Toole who
>> did not respond. You need to get this information even if it is by
>> subpoena.
>>
>> (11) Where are the phone records of all calls made to Ambulance N.B.
>> at 24 Harold Doherty Dr. on the 13th of May? Were any from Cox and
>> Palmer or from the NB Police Commission or the Court House.
>>
>> (12) I sent you recent conflicting statements from representatives
>> from Atlantic Alarm and Sound. The owner had obviously not
>> anticipated that I would contact the service provider who obviously
>> told the truth. What are you doing about that, if anything? And if
>> nothing, why not, please explain?
>> (
>> (13) You have the capacity to send the CCTV video to the crime lab in
>> Halifax (RCMP) so why has this not yet been done which would add their
>> input to this matter? Are you not wanting to know the truth here Mr.
>> Lavigne because it would most likely cost less than $500 and your are
>> spending far more than that on continuing on with this bogus charge at
>> great expense to the public purse and the court's time?
>>
>> (14). Much other evidence is sent to the crime lab for analyses so
>> why is this case different? Please explain that.
>>
>> (15). The McNeil case was decided by the Supreme Court of Canada and
>> that includes all disclosure must be given to the Defendant,
>> regardless of privacy issues or anything else. Again what are you
>> doing to get the original documentation of the CCTV video. The
>> service co-ordinator said if one camera is not working, then the
>> others take over. There are four cameras surrounding the paramedic
>> door at Ambulance N.B. Paramedic Bay and clearly picked up other
>> movement that day, but did have four minute splitting here and there.
>> The pictures that do take are for the most part visible so it is not a
>> case of the camera set low for visibility issues?
>>
>> (16) The expert from Outreach Productions wrote down that a police
>> officer magically appears from no where on the CCTV camera? What did
>> you learn about that?
>>
>> I need answers to these questions and I am asking once more to review
>> my file in its entirety and have the times set so that the photocopies
>> can be made at that time. I asked Simonne of the Prosecutor's office
>> for copies and she said I would have to come back. When I came back,
>> she had left for home early and when I picked up the documents early
>> the next week, many of the documents I requested to be photocopies
>> were not included. There was one email or report that had the word
>> dizzy typed out like this "d-i-z-z-y". I suspect that was one of the
>> officers or paramedics who reported I told them I felt dizzy that day
>> which i did. Why would this be concealed now and
>>
>> (17) Have you now reviewed all of the evidence, including the CCTV
>> video and audio and my doctor's notes and the notes I submitted
>> regarding the officer who was let off a charge in Ont. as he has
>> hypoglycemia which I have and is in the police reports?
>>
>> (18) You know that Cst. Rideout left my angina meds. (nitro) in my
>> car with my purse and would not let me have it before going to
>> headquarters and then $150 went missing out of my purse when it was

>> HELL ANGELS FROM MONTREAL LOOKING FOR CHARLES LEBLANC????
>> by Charles LeBlanc Saturday, Jun. 12, 2004 at 11:26 AM
>>
>> Thursday morning, I showed up at the Legislature to use the computer
>> at the Library.
>> I was told by security that two rough looking individuals walked
>> through the doors and asked for a Charles Leblanc?
>> They described the guys as rough looking and one of them had a long
>> gray beard with a leather jacket!
>> At first, I believe it was the Hell Angels coming down from Montreal
>> for a hit on Charles.
>>
>> Hours later, I seen my bigot buddy Matthew Glenn and he was in front
>> of the Legislature with his blowhorn.
>> For you people who don't know the bigot? He's the one who started the
>> Anglo Society. I seen him preaching to three young kids and of course
>> I butt in and said - Hey Bigot??? Why don't you bigot go home?
>>
>> Minutes later, we were approached by two guys and they asked politely
>> –Where can we locate a Charles LeBlanc???
>> In a matter of seconds, the bigot quickly pointed at me. I said to
>> myself - Ohhh?? Thanks a lot Bigot!!!
>>
>> At the end? It was a guy named David Amos and I guess that he's
>> running at an independent in the riding of Fundy Royal. The guy have
>> been living in the area of Boston and he's been following my updates
>> on the internet. I'm telling you that the information highway is a
>> great way to spread the message to the rest of the world!
>>
>> We talked for around 30 minutes and it was nice to see the bigot, me
>> and David Amos together debating our own little concern issue. We all
>> have our own issues and it's too bad that we cannot unite and fight
>> but that's the way Canadians do things. They remind silent until the
>> Government really pissed them all and go out and vote the party in
>> power out of office.
>>
>> What did I tell you people in the past? Someone is
>> going to crack up one of these days and I know for a
>> fact the area targeted is going to be the Legislature.
>>
>> Two weeks later you wrote this Chucky
>>
>> "There's always undercovers cops around but only when the House is in
>> session. As God as my witness I hope nothing happens but it's just a
>> matter of time till someone is push over the edge.
>>
>> I guess a guy name David Amos was shown the door yesterday at the

>> with our political bureaucrats. I admire people fighting for what they
>> believe in but you can't get carried away.
>>
>> I guess in this case? He wanted to speak from the Gallery and that's a
>> big faux pas!"
>>
>> After you continued to make fun of me throughout the summer of 2004
>> amongst the other things I forwarded to you was an old joke about my
>> drunken Irish Catholic in laws in Beantown. N'est Pas? It must have
>> pissed you off as I tortured the Hell out of your buddy Bernie Richard
>> the nasty Ombudsman too before my wife and I and a lawyer visited the
>> Police Commission. In response you sent photos of your old soon to be
>> dead dog comparing it to me. I laughed the photos were taken by your
>> Fake Left friends and emailed to you. Your big Faux Pas was that you
>> were so dumb you sent me their email address too. Thus in a wink of an
>> eye I knew and had the proof of who was behind you and pulling your
>> strings. Do they remember my conversations with them last year? I do.
>> The question is did I record them as they made liars out of themselves.
>> LOL EH? Stay tuned Frenchy.
>>
>> When you saw that I was falsely imprisoned in Boston on October 1st,
>> 2004 you largely shut up and never responded to my emails over the
>> course of the past four years because you knew what I did with them
>> after that. As the old Joke goes many a true word is said in jest and

>> Years after that old joke I sent you went around. The Yankees made a

>> rent it sometime with your welfare dimes. Listen closely to what ol
>> Jacky Boy says about your Church and their very corrupt doings.
>>
>> My Keith ancestors and I were not alone in our contempt towards your
>> church EH? Did your Mama tell you that the Keiths came out of northern
>> Germany to settle in Scotland in order to escape your nasty Popes and
>> their cohorts? Do you understand that after the shit was settled in
>> 1755 the Frenchmen in Canada who did not wish to be shipped out to

>> makes you dudes think that you can change the deal now especially in
>> light of the fact every Indian demands that we hold up to all the
>> other deals our ancestors made long before any of us were born? The
>> Scottish part of you should shove that Acadian flag along with its
>> flagpole up your French arse Chucky Baby. Is that clear or COR enough
>> for you?
>>
>> To rub it in I will tell you that after my father died my Mama married
>> Loyd Nickerson a member of the COR Party who was also the Chief
>> Electoral Officer of New Brunswick. One big reason I ran in Fundy is
>> that there are damn few French men registered to vote and not many
>> Catholic churches in Kings County. I ain't a bigot. I love French
>> Catholic women. Hell I was the first of my family that I know of who
>> married a Catholic woman. It is their greedy Catholic brothers that I

>> as you claimed about me. I don't wear Biker colours I where the
>> colours of My Clan and I have many friends. Quite possibly many more
>> true French ones than you do. How can you have true friends at all if
>> they can't trust you. Do your even believe yourself and your obvious
>> Bullshit?
>>
>> How do you sleep at night knowing yourself as you do? Why do you
>> make fun of a fellow Maritimer whose family was destroyed by the
>> very people you pretend to complain about? Never forget I am from
>> Dorchester Frenchy and Ivan Cormier (AKA the Beast) was on my paper

>> particularly Killer Karl Krupp and the Cuban. Their Bullshit was flat

>> "Ya gots to get the poison out or ya die just don't spit out in my

>> BTW, the man who sold me that old Panhead that your cop buddies in Fat
>> Fred City stole from me last summer was a of French Cathlolic heritage
>> out of Quebec. He was a really good friend of mine and I named my bike
>> after him and his wife. His family moved from Quebec to Vermont about

>> The Rise and Fall of the New Brunswick CoR Party, 1988-1995
>> Geoffrey Martin
>>
>>
>> At the time this article was written Geoffrey Martin was teaching at
>> Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick
>>
>> This article traces the rise and fall of one of Canada's
>> recently-formed populist, "New right" parties, the Confederation of
>> Regions Party of New Brunswick. It shows how and why the party was
>> formed and why it collapsed in the last provincial election. COR-NB
>> was a programmatic party based on political protest, which advocated a
>> libertarian ideology. The article argues that partisan realignment is
>> possible in "traditional" areas like New Brunswick, but that the anger
>> that led to the formation of the party eventually turned inward and
>> destroyed the party's coherence.
>>
>> On September 11, 1995, the saga of the Confederation of Regions Party
>> of New Brunswick (COR-NB) ended, when the party received 7% of the
>> votes and no seats in the provincial election. This represented a
>> major collapse of a party, which in the 1991 provincial election
>> polled 87,256 votes (21% of the total), took 8 seats, and the position
>> of Official Opposition in the Legislative Assembly. As it turned out,
>> COR-NB's success in 1991 took place in a "populist moment" in New
>> Brunswick politics, in which a number of factors came together to
>> enable a new party, which rejected "Official Bilingualism" and many of
>> the basic principles of the political system, to achieve significant
>> success in a province with almost no tradition of third-party
>> activity. COR's collapse in the recent election shows that this
>> populist moment has passed, along with the other factors that made for
>> COR-NB's success. For the forseeable future New Brunswick politics has
>> returned to its historic pattern of two-party competition among
>> small-c conservative elites.
>>
>> The COR Party of New Brunswick
>>
>> COR-NB was formed in 1989, less than two years after the "McKenna
>> sweep" of 1987, in which the Liberal Party under Frank McKenna won
>> every single seat in the legislature. In the 1991 election, COR-NB won
>> its seats in the South and Central parts of the province, and its
>> support was also disproportionately in rural, sparsely populated
>> areas. COR took advantage of the voters' underlying concern about
>> bilingualism. It did this chiefly in the former heartland of the
>> Progressive Conservative (PC) Party.
>>
>> There are five central points that describe the party's platform and
>> principles.
>>
>> The party was, first of all, a programmatic party, not a brokerage
>> party. It had a fixed programme which its activists were unwilling to
>> compromise.
>>
>> Second, it was a protest party with roots in a single issue, that of
>> "Official Bilingualism." The party was essentially an "ethnic party"
>> representing a segment of English New Brunswick which was extremely
>> dissatisfied, to the point of anger, over the direction of public
>> policy in the province and the country.1
>>
>> Third, like Social Credit in Alberta, COR-NB was a populist party and
>> it placed high priority on changing the system in addition to changing
>> specific public policies. This populism was represented most
>> significantly in the inversion of the political hierarcy: For COR
>> activists, elected members were responsible to the Electorate first,
>> then the Party, and only finally the Leader.
>>
>> Fourth, ideologically the party is "classical liberal" in the
>> nineteenth century sense, which today is best referred to as
>> libertarian.
>>
>> Fifth and finally, like Social Credit in the past, in class terms the
>> COR Party is petty bourgeois and lower-middle class in its
>> orientation.
>>
>> This final point is important and too often neglected, and is also
>> relevant to other Canadian political experiments, especially the
>> Reform Party of Canada. In its heyday the COR Party was dominated by
>> middle-income and small-business people, professionals, and the
>> self-employed. The middle class is the backbone of advanced industrial
>> societies and pays more than its share of taxes and is most likely to
>> feel put upon and unable to "get ahead." The party went beyond
>> appealing only to "middle-income groups." It was also a reflection of
>> those individuals who have an intermediate amount of control over
>> their work, including professionals, small business people, and
>> independent commodity producers, like farmers, woodlot owners, fishers
>> and the self-employed in general. These characteristics are important
>> because this class sometimes allies with the working class, sometimes
>> with the middle class, and sometimes is alienated from both.
>>
>> Political parties based purely on the middle class and petty
>> bourgeoisie are notoriously hard to hold together. As C. B. MacPherson
>> notes, "the petite-bourgeoisie cannot be cohesive" in politics because
>> the individualism of members of this class divides it and splinters it
>> apart.2
>>
>> In electoral terms the COR Party was not a party of big business or
>> the affluent, even if its programme, especially the provisions that
>> weaken government, would seem to provide disproportionate benefits to
>> large corporate interests. Yet high income groups and wealth holders
>> appear to have stuck with the Liberals and PCs. This is symbolized by
>> the close association of the powerful McCain family with the Liberal
>> Party, and the fact that one of the McCain spouses, Margaret Norrie
>> McCain, was appointed to a five-year term as the province's
>> Lieutenant-Governor in 1994. The Irving interests, both individual and
>> corporate, are harder to identify with certainty. The descendants of
>> the founder of the Irving empire take little public role in partisan
>> politics, seeming to prefer to influence the provincial government of
>> the day regardless of its political stripe. Judging from the 1993
>> federal election and the 1995 provincial election, the Irving
>> preference runs towards the "old line" parties and not populist
>> alternatives further to the right or the left. In the 1993 federal
>> campaign, the Irving interests made financial contributions to both
>> the PC and Liberal campaign funds, and not to Reform, the National
>> Party or the NDP.3
>>
>> The Formation of the COR Party
>>
>> The McKenna Liberals completely dominated New Brunswick politics from
>> 1987 to 1989, and New Brunswick was effectively a one-party province
>> during that time. Yet the COR Party rose much faster, less than two
>> years after the 1987 election, than is usually the case with third
>> parties. First of all, this rapid rise is explained by the seriousness
>> and longevity of New Brunswick's high unemployment and economic
>> hardship over the last 25 years. The Progressive Conservative Party
>> was wiped out in 1987 as a repudiation of Richard Hatfield, whose
>> longevity in power and personal legal troubles turned the electorate
>> against him. Further, the Progressive Conservative Party was slow to
>> rebuild, and the leader it finally elected, Barbara Baird Filliter,
>> was generally regarded as ineffective. The rapidity of the rise of
>> COR-NB was also a response to the McKenna government's desire to
>> increase bilingualism in the civil service, an effort which the
>> government has since admitted it has not succeeded in achieving.
>> Finally, for many activists and voters, federal and provincial
>> politics are not separate, and one reason for the rise of the COR-NB
>> was the activists' distaste for the Mulroney government, another
>> handicap for the provincial PC Party.
>>
>> A neglected aspect of the rise of COR-NB was its genesis as a social
>> movement called the New Brunswick Association of English-Speaking
>> Canadians, usually shortened to the English Speaking Association
>> (ESA). The ESA was formed in the early 1980s to oppose the extension
>> of bilingualism in the provincial government, something that it was
>> effective in preventing. The ESA was like a party-in-waiting with a
>> membership and an agenda, so that activists were easy to mobilize once
>> the decision to form a new party was taken in the late 1980s. By that
>> time individuals involved in the organization began to question their
>> effectiveness as a lobby group. "We brought our concerns to government
>> but it just became frustrating because month after month we were
>> bringing the same concerns, getting the same answers, and really not
>> getting anywhere," said Arch Pafford, COR-NB's first president, first
>> leader, and an ESA activist.4
>>
>> The ESA was a single-issue social movement and the COR Party inherited
>> ESA activists and this issue. Perhaps because of its ties to the
>> (now-defunct) federal COR Party, COR-NB quickly developed similar New
>> Right policies, including opposition to the Meech Lake Accord and
>> support for parliamentary reform, tax reform, privatization, and
>> deregulation. While party activists claim the COR Party is not a
>> one-issue party, the party, like the ESA before it, would never had
>> been formed without Anglophone discontent over the perceived lack of
>> jobs for Anglophones, and Official Bilingualism, two phenomena that
>> COR-NB activists always linked together. As Sue Calhoun has written,
>> "If someone is pushed about why they joined COR, the answer is,
>> inevitably, because of language."5 Just as the ESA was a protest
>> vehicle, the COR Party was a protest party because of its desire to
>> overturn the status quo and because of its dependence on a single
>> issue, that of language policy.
>>
>> The COR Party in Decline
>>
>> By the fall of 1993, two years after the party's breakthrough in the
>> 1991 election, the COR Party was clearly in decline, manifested in the
>> party's slide in public opinion polls as well as internal bickering.
>> By 1994 the party consistently polled between 3-7% of decided voters
>> in various polls (down from 21% in the 1991 election) and its
>> membership had plunged from around 20,000 in 1991 to approximately
>> 2500 by the end of 1994. To some extent the conditions for the decline
>> of the party mirror the conditions under which it arose.
>>
>> In this section some of the reasons for the party's decline will be
>> outlined, but we will concentrate on one of the root reasons for the
>> party's problems, that of the incompatibility between the party's: a)
>> populism; b) free market ideology, and; c) its role as a political
>> party and Official Opposition in the existing system. In contrast to
>> many members of the party, the argument presented here is that COR's
>> problem was not just a matter of finding a new or better leader.
>>
>> The party ultimately collapsed because of the membership's approach to
>> politics and because a section of the party was unwilling to conform
>> to the existing party system.
>>
>> There are straight-forward reasons for the party's decline that should
>> be delineated briefly. First, the departure of Brian Mulroney from
>> national politics, and the collapse of the federal PCs in the 1993
>> federal election, made it possible for small-c conservatives to return
>> to the provincial PC Party. Second, the COR Party suffered a double
>> blow from the Charlottetown Constitutional Accord referendum in 1992.
>> Since the accord was defeated nationally, constitutional and language
>> issues disappeared for a time from the political agenda, which hurt
>> the COR Party's ability to grab public attention. Even the province's
>> constitutionalization of Bill 88, which declared the equality of the
>> Francophone and Anglophone communities in the province, and the 1994
>> Québec election, did not excite widespread public attention. The
>> second blow was that COR-NB led the anti-accord side in New Brunswick
>> in 1992 and yet the pro-accord side won convincingly in the province,
>> all of which undermined COR-NB's claim that it represented some kind
>> of "silent majority."
>>
>> Third, the provincial PC Party gained new credibility in the last two
>> years because of the effectiveness of its leader, Dennis Cochrane, who
>> was elected to that position and to the Legislative Assembly in 1991.
>> Even the sudden resignation of Mr. Cochrane in the spring of 1995, and
>> his replacement by former Mulroney cabinet minister Bernard Valcourt,
>> did not revive COR's fortune's. Fourth, Frank McKenna's Liberal
>> government was rightward leaning during its second mandate (1991-95),
>> given its attitudes toward individual and provincial self-reliance,
>> cuts to social and health services, and its emphasis on job creation
>> in the private sector. This also hurt the COR Party because like a
>> competent brokerage politician, McKenna's rightward move undercut
>> COR-NB support, and this left most opponents of the government in the
>> centre (supporting the PCs) or to the left (supporting the NDP, led by
>> Elizabeth Weir).
>>
>> All of these are important reasons for the decline of the party, but
>> we should concentrate on another reason, the incompatibility of the
>> party's self-identity and its role in the system. The party tried to
>> combine populism and free market economics, two ideologies that are
>> often in conflict because the interest of the "common man" is often in
>> conflict with the interests of even small business, let alone the
>> larger firms that dominate the New Brunswick political economy. Like
>> the supporters of the United Farmers and Social Credit in Alberta,
>> COR-NB members believed in the value of the individual and of free
>> enterprise, even though the concentration of capital and high levels
>> of unemployment are the result of the particular form of
>> resource-based capitalism that exists in New Brunswick. The COR Party
>> started as a "revolt against the system," though by 1993 the party
>> increasingly internalized the system and so the revolt turned inward,
>> with all of the venom once reserved only for the New Brunswick Society
>> of Acadians and the established parties.
>>
>> As the economy and job situation in New Brunswick improved somewhat
>> after the recession of the early 1990s, COR-NB lost momentum. (Instead
>> of scapegoating Acadians as they did in the late 1980s, in 1995 New
>> Brunswick Anglophones were more likely to feel aggrieved at the
>> Liberal federal government for tightening the Unemployment Insurance
>> rules in the 1994 budget, or for its gun control initiative of 1995.)
>>
>> There is a serious structural problem underlying these internal
>> conflicts, in the form of an ideological conflict between Board
>> control and caucus control of the party. As has been stated above, the
>> party policy is that an elected member is responsible to the
>> electorate first, the party second, and the leader last. Yet under its
>> constitution the COR Party—and not the elected caucus—selected the
>> leader and the Board of Directors could call a leadership convention,
>> which inevitably gave the party control over the elected members.
>>
>> Greg Hargrove (MLA-York North) said in 1993 that the Board overstepped
>> its authority in trying to dump then-leader Danny Cameron because the
>> Board is answerable to the membership while the caucus is responsible
>> to the electorate. By this line of reasoning, the membership can elect
>> a leader but cannot remove a leader, which ultimately sounds like the
>> "old-line parties" that the COR Party criticized. This suggests an
>> inherent contradiction in the party's inversion of the
>> "Leader-Party-Electorate" hierarchy, because elected members cannot be
>> responsible to the electorate first given the party's power to remove
>> the party leader by calling a leadership convention.
>>
>> Conclusion
>>
>> COR-NB was a right-of-centre protest party that picked up on the

Seniors in some N.B. care homes suffering from neglect, report says

Report by francophone advocacy group paints damning picture of life in some nursing homes

A report released this week paints a shocking picture of senior care in some long-term care facilities in New Brunswick.

The report, titled New Brunswick's Elders: Neglected and Forgotten, says many seniors receiving care are suffering from malnutrition, medical negligence and poor standards of care.

"I'm hungry, we don't have enough to eat and what is being served looks like dog vomit," is just one of the stories shared with the report's authors, a francophone advocacy group that has been looking into conditions in long-term care homes.

To fix some of the problems, the Action Committee for the Well-being of Seniors called for a gradual reduction in the number of private care homes and creation of a new model of non-profit organizations that would prioritize the well-being of seniors over profits.

A call for system-wide training

The report pointed to under-qualified staff and to staff performing tasks outside their training as key problems.

In creating the report, the action committee spoke to people in mostly francophone communities and to anglophones in Fredericton. The report did not specify the homes it wrote about or the geographic areas.

"The day-to-day issues that an anglophone senior may encounter are exactly the same as a francophone senior may encounter," Norma Dubé, the chair of the group, said Thursday.

"We're talking about seniors. It's not a language issue."

Inexperienced cooks

The report called for appropriate training for everyone in the system, including owners, operators and managers.

"Everybody needs training in the process of aging and what that means in terms of giving care and services," Dubé said at a news conference Wednesday when the report was released.

Some cooks in long-term-care homes have no previous experience in a kitchen or in meal preparation, and knowledge of nutritional needs does not seem to be a major concern, the report said.

In some places, seniors are being left hungry or served poor quality food with a heavy reliance on canned soup and Jell-O, according to their families.

The administration of medication is also a problem, the report said.

Senior care staff in some homes are not administering medication according to instructions, they're getting residents to take all their medications at once instead of spacing them out as required, and they're refilling prescriptions late and storing medications incorrectly.

Wrong resident grabs pill

"Medications that need to be taken with food are often given in the cafeteria," the report said.

"This in itself does not cause a problem. What does become a problem is when the medication is placed on the table next to one resident and the person sitting next to them takes the pill."

In general, seniors are feeling the impact of the long-term care system's persistent struggles with staff retention, particularly of home-care workers.

Salaries of staff are "low," the report said, and turnover is up to 40 per cent annually.

"Seniors who live at home must adapt to this turnover on an ongoing basis."

Call to action

The action committee has eight members, including Denis Losier, former CEO of Assumption Life and a former provincial cabinet minister, and Bernard Richard, former ombud and child and youth advocate.

The report lists more than a dozen groups that spoke with the committee, including Michael Keating, acting executive director of the New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes, Éric Beaulieu, deputy minister of social development, and Suzanne Dupuis-Blanchard, director of the Centre for Studies in Aging at the University of Moncton.

There is also a thank you to "those who contacted us to share their experiences with a family member who resides in a nursing home or who is still living at home and receiving support services."

The report also thanks four francophone stakeholders and six anglophone stakeholders representing special-care homes or organizations advocating for seniors in nursing homes. It does not name the stakeholders.

Revising standards for all long-term and special-care homes, and home care services was the first recommendation on a list of six proposed by the committee. This recommendation included reviewing standards for drug management and distribution.

Fitch committed to enforcing standards

The committee also called for establishing a consistent communication process between care-provider services and residents' families, and for a gradual, substantial increase in spending on home care services.

Speaking to Radio-Canada, Social Development Minister Bruce Fitch reiterated his confidence in private care homes, emphasizing that they must meet the levels of care imposed by the government. He also said his government is committed to finding solutions to the problems raised.

Keating, of the nursing home association, did not respond to numerous requests for an interview.

L’Association francophone des aînés du Nouveau-Brunswick demande une réduction progressive du nombre de foyers de soins privés dans la province.

Plusieurs personnalités ont uni leurs voix pour réclamer des changements majeurs dans les soins offerts aux aînés dans la province. Manque de soins, propreté déficiente, nourriture de mauvaise qualité ou insuffisante, elles ont dressé un tableau sombre de ce que vivent plusieurs personnes âgées.

Face à cette situation, l’Association francophone des aînés estime que certains foyers privés, et pas nécessairement tous, ne parviennent pas à répondre aux besoins. C’est pourquoi l’organisme recommande de suspendre progressivement le nombre de foyers privés, afin de créer un nouveau modèle d’organismes sans but lucratif.

Lors d'un point de presse, l'association a mentionné plusieurs problèmes dans certains foyers, comme de la nourriture de mauvaise qualité et insuffisante, un manque de soins d'hygiène, de la malpropreté, et des problèmes liés à l'administration des médicaments.

Denis Losier, membre du Comité d’action sur la bienveillance envers les aînés, explique les recommandations qui ont été formulées.

Denis Losier, un ancien ministre libéral, est membre du Comité d’action sur la bienveillance envers les aînés. Il explique que des rapports faits dans d'autres provinces montrent que le secteur privé dans la livraison des soins pour les personnes âgées n’était pas le modèle idéal : beaucoup de décès sont survenus, beaucoup de soins n’ont pas été améliorés depuis des années.

On s’est aperçus qu’au Nouveau-Brunswick, on avait à peu près les mêmes situations. Nos personnes âgées dans les foyers de soins spéciaux n’ont pas la qualité de soins, pas tous les foyers de soins spéciaux, il y en a qui sont très bons, relate-t-il.

Les aînés formulent plusieurs autres recommandations

L’Association francophone des aînés demande au gouvernement de revoir les normes qui s’appliquent aux foyers de soins de longue durée, aux foyers de soins spéciaux, et aux services de soutien à domicile.

On demande des améliorations en ce qui concerne la gestion des médicaments des résidents, l’hygiène des résidents, la propreté des chambres et la qualité de la nourriture servie. L’organisme voudrait aussi que des conséquences soient imposées, quand les normes ne sont pas respectées.

Il est aussi question d’améliorer la communication en créant, par exemple, des comités de résidents ou de membres des familles. On demande aussi que tous les foyers de soins de longue durée, les foyers de soins spéciaux et les services de soutien à domicile offrent des services dans la langue de choix des résidents.

L’association recommande aussi une formation appropriée pour le personnel, incluant les propriétaires, gestionnaires et cuisiniers.

Elle recommande également d’investir davantage dans les services de soins à domicile, afin de permettre aux personnes âgées de rester chez elles plus longtemps.

Si vous gardez une personne chez elle dans chaque région qu’il y a un foyer de soins au Nouveau-Brunswick, c’est 71 personnes. Si vous en gardez 10 par région où il y a un foyer de soins, vous avez 710 personnes, ça veut dire il y a 710 places de libres, vous pouvez prendre 700 personnes dans les hôpitaux et les envoyer au foyer. Ce qu’on propose-là ne coûte pas des grosses fortunes, ça demande de la volonté, a lancé l'ancien ministre de la Santé conservateur Elvy Robichaud.

Le ministre maintient sa confiance dans les foyers privés

Le ministre du Développement social, Bruce Fitch, a pris connaissance du rapport dès sa publication. Sur la privatisation des foyers, il estime que cela ne pourrait se faire du jour au lendemain. Et le ministre a réitéré sa confiance envers les foyers privés au Nouveau-Brunswick, en soulignant qu'ils doivent respecter des niveaux de soins imposés par le gouvernement.

Qu'il s'agisse d'un organisme sans but lucratif ou pas, ce niveau de soins doit être atteint, et nous le fixons, et nous nous attendons à ce qu'il soit respecté, et si nous constatons que ce niveau de soins n'est pas atteint, alors il y a des conséquences pour le domicile, explique le ministre Fitch.

Pour ce qui est des autres problèmes soulevés dans le rapport de l'Association francophone des aînés, le ministre du Développement social dit que le gouvernement compte y trouver une solution. Il rappelle d'ailleurs que la veille, le gouvernement a annoncé la formation d'un comité de fonctionnaires, qui sera chargé de présenter un nouveau plan de soins de longue durée.

Une partie de la raison pour laquelle nous lançons ce plan de soins de longue durée est simplement pour nous assurer que les besoins des personnes âgées sont satisfaits, souligne-t-il.

Sauf que plusieurs membres du Comité d’action sur la bienveillance envers les aînés ont déploré le fait que depuis au moins une décennie les rapports et les plans se sont succédé, sans apporter les changements souhaités.

En 2012, ils ont fait une étude, il n’y a rien qui a été fait, il n’y a pas de changement majeur. En 2017, il y a eu une étude, il n’y a rien qui a été fait comme suivi. En 2021, il y a eu une étude, il n’y a pas plus qui a été fait, et on propose encore un comité. Je pense qu’il est temps qu’on arrête les comités et qu’on mette de l’argent dans le système, a rappelé Elvy Robichaud.

Libéraux et verts ont des points de vue différents sur le rôle du privé

Le chef par intérim du Parti libéral du Nouveau-Brunswick, Roger Melanson, reste prudent sur la question du passage progressif à un nouveau modèle de foyers de soins sans but lucratif.

Il n’y a aucun doute qu’il faut regarder au modèle de livraison de services, donc le modèle de gouvernance, la suggestion c’est d’aller davantage vers un modèle à but non lucratif, je pense que c’est légitime, je pense qu’il faut avoir cette discussion-là et ce débat-là, avance Roger Melanson.

Le chef libéral estime qu'il importe de ne pas mettre tous les foyers dans le même panier.

Il ne faut pas généraliser que toutes les résidences de personnes âgées sont problématiques, il y en a des bonnes, il y en a qui font de l’excellent travail, mais il y en a qui sont problématiques, et je pense qu’il faut que le gouvernement regarde aux normes, actuelles, insiste-t-il.

Pour sa part, le chef du Parti vert, David Coon, est plus catégorique. Dans le long terme, je suis en accord avec l’idée de transformer le système vers un système public, avec un modèle d’organisme avec les buts non lucratifs, c’est le meilleur système pour nous, dit-il.

David Coon croit, cependant, qu'il ne faut pas brusquer les changements. En réalité, on doit faire les transformations lentement, mais le but à la fin, oui est d’avoir un système public, précise-t-il.
