Methinks I read that Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick Jocelyne Roy Vienneau was going to give us a Speech from the Throne today but I can find no notice of it to watch it Hence I must must have missed something N'esy Pas?

"Retired Moncton law professor Michel Doucet, who represented the two Moncton-area patients whose complaint led to the consent order, said he would ask the province and Ambulance New Brunswick to explain how the announcement complies with the order."

Trust that I dealt with this very sneaky SANB lawyer and his many cohorts such as Mr Justice Michel Bastarache many times over the years. Methinks its incredibly comical that not one of these fancy French lawyers will explain why my barring document from parliamentary properties (and Chucky Leblanc's as well) is written in only ONE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE and its definitely NOT FRENCH N'esy Pas?

"In October, former health minister Benoît Bourque said a discussion paper on ambulance service revealed a drastic shortage of trained bilingual paramedics and a lack of language training to fill the need where bilingual service is required.'

Methinks many bloggers know that I made certain that Steve Murphy and most of the other journalists watching the politicians now seated in the Legislature who will listen to the Throne Speech today know that the former health minister Benoît Bourque had his chance to act ethically with me. Yet the French man denied my right to possess a Health Care Card just like all the other Health Ministers before him beginning with Mike Murphy for political reasons The link below easily proves that Steve Murphy knew me over 6 before the law student Brian Gallant ran against the lawyer Bernie Lord and I ran against Ed Doherty and Mike Murphy became the Minister of the Heath after that election in October of 20006 N'esy Pas?

Methinks he will never discuss why I sued the Crown because of the wrongs he practiced against me However Bernie cannot deny that his former Attorney General Brad Green among many others including the Governor General answered about the political malice Lord practiced me way back in 2004. Gallant and the leader of the Watermelon Party know the file found in the link below tells a true tale that even Higgs and Austin have played dumb about since 2010 N'esy Pas?

I remember because I lived through it.
The initial wish list for French School Boards only.
The satements that they rejected duality because it was wasteful and not necessary.
Of Louis Robichaud declaring New Brunswick 'bilingual' without any public consent.
Of the policy of service in French where numbers warranted.
And on and on.

We've had enough.

*The initial wish list for French School Boards only.*

That's the same across Canada, what's you point ?

*The satements that they rejected duality because it was wasteful and not necessary. *

What ?

*Of Louis Robichaud declaring New Brunswick 'bilingual' without any public consent*

Didn't the voters vote him in ? Are you part of every decision in the government of NB ? No, you vote for the party who will represent you, its called democracy.

*Of the policy of service in French where numbers warranted. *

Yeah that's until the Federal and provincial government centralized everything in Fredericton/ Saint John and Moncton. Now only these regions deserves the majority of services across NB. Anything more you want me to debunk kid?

Marc Martin

Brian Robertson

@Marc Martin
You have debunked nothing.

What I lived through was the evolution of the language policy we have and continue to endure.

What may be the policy now that is Canada wide does not alter the fact that in the very early 60s, the francophone lobby's stated goal was their own school boards, ONLY. But that turned out to be just the thin edge of the wedge.

And their statements refuting any desire for duality is now obviously a sign of the duplicity used by that same lobby.
Louis Robichaud was elected by a majority of New Brunswickers. But no where on his platform was any mention of making the Province bilingual. We just got up one morning to find that King Louis 1st had 'proclaimed' it on his own.

The problem with old people is that no matter how hard you try to rewrite history, we remember the events you want to gloss over.

@Marc Martin Harper did not add to our debt levels...in fact he paid down our DEBT....there is a big difference between DEBT and DEFICIT. ie there is good debt and bad unecessary debt (some of canada's debt goes back to trudeau1) socialism and social programs do not lead to good government (remember nazi's were voted into power using the social benefits to people who voted only for 'free programs' under a social leftist agenda. let we canadians be educated in economics.
as for Harper...he did manage canada to survive the recession..better than any other country of the G7 ...sure he isnt as cute & fasionable correct than is trudeau...but Harper actually had an economics degree from UofC that himself worked and paid for...and today countries around the world seek for Harper to give them advice. so canadians treat and like trudeau as a member of canada's royalty family..but do not run down Harper who is of an ordinary hard working family & gone from our political scene in canada. do not look back canada, standup for the future..stand up for canada...despite politicial quackery!!!

@David Amos trudeau1 in his quest to make canada 'different' from the USA by using the french language as a political ploy & put himself into making language rules in canada which cost then and cost more now taxation of 2billion a year(all debt)...the metric system and the enormous amounts of $$$ it took to implement in small tax base canada, he used the 'environment' rulings to keep canada green and poor, he uped the equaliztion formula to give quebec 10X $$$ to other provinces, then he implemented the national energy program in Alberta..because trudeau1 was so afraid of baystreet financials moving to calgary...then he gave alberta the finger-----our debt became enormous. alberta's debt became more enormous because albertans needed social programs to live...(klng klein fixed that with all albertans working to be debt free).....today's trudeau isnt as intelligent but he is cute...and loves the spotlight. canadians do not understand government debt...canadians do not understand government budgeting nor taxation for what...canadians mostly do not understand all monies for free and other government programs are not free..all government do is to collect our money from all of us and then spend it....some canadian paid for IE, healthcare,education,equalization payments, the french language programs at 2Billion a year, so think about the government programs,services you receive and say thank you to other tax payers for what you receive from trudeau government. david amos...you should work to tell all canadians the facts of debt...and think about fact that almost 50% of canadians who love freeby money from government do not pay any taxation....not very democratic methinks

@maude windsor Although I agree with much of your post the facts are that the debt did go up under Harper by about $118 Billion according to Finance Department numbers.

It wasn't an issue. It was made into being a divisive issue. Fracking, on the other hand, was an issue and it was made into a non issue by silence. Can we see a pattern here yet?

@William Reed tell that to the families that waited over 40 minutes for an ambulance and lost loved ones because of it. every second counts when you are injured. hopefully it will never happen to you or anyone you love.

@William Reed I wonder if they will remove bilingualism requirements for the french areas. Then we could hire some Quebec or unilingual french ambulance attendants. I wonder if that will fly with the PANB...

daryl doucette

@Pierre Cyr good idea....hire the unilingual francophone....that is, if you can find one.

Michel Boudreau
Michel Boudreau
@cheryl wright William Reed is a little bit right the issue is not as serious as it sound. It was made a issue by are politicien blaming the bilingual position. In true bilingual is not the problems, it the job it self. The stuff they see on the job you need solid nerf solid heart Bilingual position are fill up with unilingual staff with warning that they loose they job or get a transfer if they find a bilingual person and it does not happen often and it up to that person the get the compétence required bilingual is part of those compétence needed.

cheryl wright
cheryl wright
@Michel Boudreau . ok . granted there is a lot of media coverage on this sure. but I can guarantee that ( not just in paramedics ) that people do lose their jobs when they can squeeze a bilingual person in there. even if that English person worked at that job for decades. and getting competence required is one thing but doing it at the proficiency that this province considered fully bilingual is another. the province has set that standard so high that you can not reach it unless French is your mother tongue. so many issues in one small province.

Pierre Cyr

@daryl doucette In Quebec they have plenty.

It was made an issue from the anti-French crowd of NB, no one died because of a language issue, the kid that died was because medivie doesn't hire enough paramedics because of money issues.

@David Amos yes. english is and should be politically an english speaking province.....sad but many acadian families speak acadian type french and they also cannot pass the language test for new brunswick or ottawa jobs...because all the rules/regulations and testing mandates are for quebec french people only......this NB problem of language rules is between english&acadian people speakers...and the quebecers who have moved into new brunswick. francophone associations are disruptive and cause governments to do their dirty work a la purchase of votes leading to government. quite sad really...and i doubt little louis envisioned this hatred amongst the people of new brunswick....we are not quebecers and all levels of government (trudeau included) need to recognize this fact.

How is it a Language problem in St. Quentin and Lameque where the medics are all francophones, ask yourselves that. There is a real reason why they can't staff ambulances and nobody wants to mention it.


cheryl wright
cheryl wright
@Chuck Stewart there is a paramedic shortage due to bilingualism and salaries. when you have rural areas they often have 1 ambulance. so say if Fredericton needs another ambulance they may pull from Woodstock. then if Woodstock needs another ambulance they pull from Victoria county, then so on and so on. but if there were more paramedics there would be less buses sitting without staff and less would have to be pulled from other areas or not being able to be used at all due to insufficient staffing levels. our paramedics are so burnt out from working over and above their regular hours due to shortages. there are unilingual or English speaking paramedics that leave the province or the field all together because they cant get the hours.

@Chuck Stewart 99% of the problem is wages and working conditions.

Any service will need part time workers to replace the fulltime. This isnt a real solution. Whats the turnover rate for paramedics? Whats the graduation rate? If its like much of the healthcare sector they dont pay well with bad working conditions and dont attract enough students to graduate enough trained people to replace those who are leaving.


Mack Leigh
Mack Leigh
@Pierre Cyr

It is a definite improvement over what we now have.... however I agree rather than just 40 trained unilingual paramedics being moved to full time it should be more with the balance of those already qualified being given part time positions...... Keep our fully trained, experienced paramedics here in NB no matter if they speak English or French only........

It did not take Higgs long to solve that problem . That must be the difference between a man with management experience who can find solutions ; and a boy who had no life or work experience, and who could not find a solution in 4 YEARS !

Matt Steele

@Marc Martin .....There were no re-negotiations once McKenna removed the Crown land leases from private citizens and gave them to Irving as the leases were never returned , It was McKenna who started the land gift to Irving . Successive Premiers including Lord , Graham , Alward and Gallant just carried on with what McKenna started .Higgs was not Premier at that time , Alward was ; and the Premier always makes the final decision .

So that’s it? Solved the problem? I think time will tell..

Three thoughts:
1) Hopefully, this will result in the calls being made by folks wanting to use an ambulance as free taxis shifted to the non emergency side.
2) Pressure is going to intensify on dispatchers to ensure mistakes aren't made.
3) Can the province afford the extra layer?


David Amos

@Ben Robinson Ben that would be great! But in the ambulances here in NB, the paramedics " take turns" being " the lead" ( meaning the one who does the talking initially at the emergency call) so what happens many times is the " unilingual" paramedic will start conversing to the family/patient in the " other" language while the " bilingual" paramedic says nothing...is setting up equipment, etc...common sense would dictate if, oh for example, up in Caraquet, if a unilingual english person driving thru the area decided to pull over as he/she was ill, and an ambulance arrived to help, it would be idiotic if there was a " unilingual francophone paramedic", and a " bilingual paramedic" arriving, and the " unilingual francophone paramedic" was the " lead person" and was attempting to interview the patient....while the " bilingual" paramedic was there as well....and this DOES go on.

within ambulance services....there are too many EMS in ambulances that do not have the correct nor useful education. (take as example the edmonton EMS...highly trained and educated and provide services to 2X numbers of people in new brunswick in about the same land mass....so ambulances travel about the same miles on each call. also, NB ambulances do not have the emergency room medical & drugs of useful emergency services....ie each ambulance should be in commique with the nearest hospital EMS ...so that emergency services start as soon as patient is picked up.
methinks certification and upgrade of EMS personnel regardless of language is most important to patient...people are dying in new brunswick because of poor state of non-emergency equipment and the lack of certification of EMS personnel in amulances. everyone should sluth out how the location of their home & business will allow for quick and educated certificated EMS....it is medical knowledge & better equipped ambulances that is critical....language(s) spoken is not important at all to critical medical care!!!!

Higgs ran for the leadership of the COR party.
The party Higgs wanted to lead in 1989, the Confederation of Regions, was anti-bilingualism.
Higgs says he no longer subscribes to the COR worldview. "I believe that all New Brunswickers, French and English, have the opportunity to speak their own language and to learn another one," he said in August. "My opinion has changed over the last 30 years."

The province needs to cancel all contracts with Medavie/Blue Cross and bring all services back under the Gov't umbrella. Medavie is making millions of dollars off the province, money that could be better served in providing services to NBers. The province claims that Medavie has the technology, well this province could have the technology for themselves if they wanted it. The door must be slammed in Medavie's face with regards to all dealings in this province. We have politicians in control of portfolios that they have no idea what it involves and that is evident in the bumbling handling and bad decisions that are made. Elected officials have to remember they work for the people in this province, to provide the best service possible at the most reasonable price, not to award big contracts for numerous years to companies who want to keep dealings/costs/problems hidden under a privacy agreement.

This whole issue re French/English is really irrelevant when the paramedics show up on scene to an actual cardiac arrest, sudden death, or other critical emergency where the patient is unconscious, and dying. The fact that a family member is present and talking to responders is great, but the end result is usually the same for the person on the floor. The paramedics/first responders are going to assess vitals immediately. If vital signs are absent, they will then " hook up" the patient to the " defib pads" to prepare for a potential " shock" to " stop" and then restart the heart. This is the first, and foremost task ANY " First Responders" ( Paramedics, Trained FireFighters) will do. Language is comepletly irrelevant in these critical cases. I have never heard of a person in cardiac arrest requesting services in the language of their choice.

@daryl doucette A little history

http://www.revparl.ca/english/issue.asp?param=122&art=738

"Since 1982, so little has been heard about the Parti Acadien that, as many observers have said, it is a party in its death throes, with little hope of survival at this point. When the Parti Acadien retreated from the political scene the so-called moderate elements of the Acadian nationalist movement discussed the possibility of forming another political party with the goal of urging the reforms proposed by the present Conservative government.

From 1984 to 1986 there was a strong resurgence of ethnic polarisation in New Brunswick including creation of an English-language group led by Len Poore, waging an all-out campaign against bilingualism under the slogan: More bilingualism, fewer jobs for anglophones. The racist tenor of this campaign against Acadians was unparalleled.

In the meantime, the SANB attempted to regain credibility by presenting itself as the conciliator in the conflict surrounding the death of l'Evangéline, and the defender of government reforms, by way of demands for corporatist reforms such as the establishment of French-language agricultural or municipal associations. The SANB has also worked to bring back into its fold those segments of the Acadian establishment that had not been seen for a decade. It must be noted that this fresh involvement was made possible by the departure of most of the progressive activists, so that the organization's image could be improved in the eyes of the elites. The Conférence des Institutions Acadiennes accordingly became useless and was dissolved. The SANB again became a respectable place to be seen."

They could not and she was required to go all the way to Saint John to go the a French school, on the tax payers dime I might add.

Higgs creates non-emergency ambulance service that won't require bilingual crews

Premier Blaine Higgs and People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin were at Monday's announcement


Blaine Higgs announces changes to Ambulance New Brunswick on Monday. (Catherine Allard/Radio-Canada)

The province plans to create a service for non-emergency ambulance transfers that will remove the need for crews  capable of speaking both French and English.

The new service will determine a hospital patient's language of choice before an ambulance is dispatched, and staff with the "linguistic capabilities" to look after the call will respond, according to the plan announced Monday by Premier Blaine Higgs.

The service, to be implemented by Ambulance New Brunswick, will allow 40 casual paramedics to move to permanent full-time status, according to the government announcement.

"Our priority is protecting the health and safety of residents," Higgs said in a news release.

In a statement, the province said transfers make up about 30 per cent of Ambulance New Brunswick's call volume. There were 112,000 calls for transfers last year, up 18 per cent from five years ago.

Separating transfers from the 911 emergency response system will reduce delays in both systems, the announcement said, and offer more flexibility in hiring and retaining employees.

Ambulance NB is supposed to provide emergency service in the language of a patient's choice, but the bilingualism requirement has been blamed for a shortage of paramedics and late-arriving ambulances.

People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin and Health Minister Hugh Flemming were also at the announcement in Fredericton.

"No longer will desperate families be forced to load severely ill and injured loved ones in the backs of their own vehicles hoping to get to a hospital before it is too late because no ambulance is available when it is needed," Austin said in the release.

Problems with the ambulance service


Problems with the ambulance service, which some critics, including Austin, have blamed on an inability to find required bilingual employees, became an issue in the recent provincial election.

Over the past few months, Ambulance New Brunswick has also been criticized for paramedic shortages and ambulance delays across the province.

In October, Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs — who was not yet premier of New Brunswick — said such issues would be the first priority for a PC government if he were to assume power.

Higgs pledged to bring in Medavie Health Services, the company that runs Ambulance New Brunswick, on Day 1 and give it a  week to put forth solutions.

Higgs was sworn in Nov. 9 after the Liberal government of Brian Gallant fell the week before.

Slow response by paramedics 


In October, former health minister Benoî​t Bourque said a discussion paper on ambulance service revealed a drastic shortage of trained bilingual paramedics and a lack of language training to fill the need where bilingual service is required.

The document said 51 out of 61 vacant full-time paramedic positions are bilingual jobs, as are 31 of 40 part-time vacancies.

Today's announcement comes more than three weeks after a 13-year-old boy died in an ATV crash in Haut-Lamèque after family, police and firefighters waited about 45 minutes for paramedics to arrive at the scene.

Medavie recently announced a second ambulance for Saint-Quentin, which fought for two years to get better coverage.

That announcement came after a cyclist was struck and injured by a vehicle and waited more than 40 minutes before being taken to hospital three blocks away by a passerby.

    I perform my Rituals only at night between the hours of 0.00 - 0.59 (South African time) lasting 1 hour but of course, this depends on the nature of the ritual, some rituals might take hours and can also become necessary to be performed at specials places like; flowing streams, cemeteries and other places dictated by the gods.
    I do not want anyone to be under any illusions about my spells and its numerous rituals. Real and effective Voodoo is no child's play, it is expensive because, after the rituals, I will have to destroy all the materials involved by fire and the ashes scattered over a flowing stream or river.
