against unwritten rules. (New Brunswick Liberal Party/YouTube)
New
Brunswick's Liberal Party has removed a video from its website and
YouTube channel because it violated a long-standing convention of the
provincial legislature.
The video showed Liberal Leader
Susan Holt walking through the main legislative assembly building as
she described the party's vision for New Brunswick before Premier Blaine
Higgs's state of the province speech in January.
Holt's
use of the legislature as a backdrop violated an unofficial rule that
the location can't be used for political party activities.
"Upon request from the Speaker's Office, we removed the video," said spokesperson Katie Beers. "We have no further comment."
Speaker Bill Oliver's office asked the Liberals to remove the video, a party spokesperson said. (CBC)
Speaker Bill Oliver would not comment on the video.
It was posted to the Liberal party's YouTube channel, and a Jan. 23 news release on the party website linked to it.
The video is now gone.
The convention also prohibits party events on the grounds of the legislature.
2006,
then-provincial NDP leader Allison Brewer tried to hold an election
campaign event on the steps of the legislature, complete with orange
party campaign signs.
They were told by security staff that party events weren't allowed there.
As of Thursday, a photo of Holt outside the front door of the legislature remained on the Jan. 23 release on the party website.

The MP I ran against 3 times posted this before his leader landed in NB
"In Bill C-63, Justin Trudeau will empower a
Liberal-appointed tribunal to review complaints of 'hate speech' and
dole out punishments as they see fit, with fines up to $50,000. A
defendant wouldn't even have the right to know who accused them.
This is a dangerous affront to the rights of Canadians."

Deja Vu Anyone???
Poilievre blasts carbon tax, boosts Higgs during N.B. swing
Federal Conservative leader headlines fundraiser for premier ahead of provincial election campaign

Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stormed into
New Brunswick Friday, building more momentum for his campaign to cancel
the carbon tax, while also lending a much-needed hand to Premier Blaine
Higgs.
Appearing at a Saint John gas station, Poilievre
called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to "cancel this heartless and
cruel April 1st tax hike," when the federal charge will increase from 14
to 17 cents per litre of gas.
But his main event was as
the headliner at a $600-a-ticket fundraiser for the New Brunswick
Progressive Conservative Party, which is facing a tough re-election
fight later this year.
"Premier Higgs has joined with
common sense conservatives across the country to axe the tax and tonight
I will thank him and all New Brunswick Conservatives for locking arms
with us on that," Poilievre told reporters at the gas station on Bayside
Drive.
The
provincial party has been heavily promoting the dinner, which is
designed to fatten party bank accounts for a provincial election
scheduled for Oct. 21.
Supporters were invited to pay an extra $200 to attend a reception before the dinner.
Reporters were not allowed to cover those events. Instead Poilievre took questions at the east side gas station.
He
said he wanted to boost Higgs because a provincial Liberal government
might replace the federal carbon tax he plans to cancel with a New
Brunswick version.
"The last thing we want after I axe
the tax is for there to be another Trudeau-style provincial government
that puts it back on," he said.

Officially, the Provincial Legislature belongs to the people, not the politicians.
IMHO, any tax paying citizen should have the right to
speak there..inside or out…as long as they are courteous and not rowdy.

Yet, a New Brunswick government video promoting the use
of a zipper merge continues to play on social media even though the New
Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act prohibits such a merge at a lane ends sign.
Reference: Section 156.1, which reads;
"Where a driver operating a vehicle on a laned roadway
approaches a traffic control device that indicates that the lane in
which the vehicle is situated ends, the driver, in moving into the
adjacent lane, shall yield the right of way to any vehicles travelling
in the adjacent lane.
1987, c.38, s.7"
Little wonder that driving on New Brunswick roadways is such gamble in safety.

they will have 70 by mid-summer.

It was an informative video, which is likely
the main reason the Higgs government didn’t like it - they continuously
appear to have a complete aversion to keeping New Brunswickers informed
of anything of relevance, except of course the massive surpluses, which
always, for some unexplained reason, are a complete surprise to the
Finance Minister.

If it's such a great video, tell them to do it
