Methinks this afternoon Harjit Sajjan and his minions should go to Federal Court across the street from Carl Urquhart's old cop shop in Fredericton and pull my file (T-1557-15) from the docket then read statement 83 real slow N'esy Pas?

David R. Amos
I wish my MLA Ross Wetmore, my MP Karen Ludwig and the Minister of Health Ginette Petitpas Taylor were as concerned about getting me a Heath Card as they are about my returning to my property N'esy Pas?

Daryl Doucette
Why, in this day and age, do people like Mr Saijjan still let their hair on their head and face grow like that, when it is obviously hard to keep clean and neat, all for some silly ancient religious foolishness? And we are supposed to respect his opinion on very important issues affecting every day Canadians when really, in the back of his mind, what is most important? What is important to him, obviously, is the ways of the "old" country.

David R. Amos

Reply to @daryl doucette: Methinks you would say the same of me even though I am not religious N'esy Pas?

Clarence Slydell
Reply to @daryl doucette:

I haven't shaved or cut my hair other than a trim occasionally in at least 40 years which has absolutely nothing to do with what I have done, what I can do, what I may do in the future or anything else for that matter. Nothing to do with religious beliefs either, I just like it.

Hard to keep neat and clean? Really? Running water, water heaters, daily showers, soap, shampoo, brushes, combs, etc. Haven't heard of them? Do you live in the woods? A swamp maybe?

Your comment absolutely reeks of prejudice

Reply to @Clarence Slydell: Methinks if you were to Google "Fundy Royal Debate" you may have yourself a pretty good chuckle as you listen to me argue a clean shaven Conservative Cabinet Minister and the lady standing beside Defence Minister Harjit Sajjanin the photo above N'esy Pas?

Mario Doucet
Carbon taxes added before the HST on all fuel prices should help those in need. Oh, forgot the 250.00 rebate will come in handy also.

David R. Amos

Reply to @Mario Doucet: Methinks all the politicians knows why the CRA will make certain I don't get that rebate for the same reasons they have denied me the GST/HST credit for years N'esy Pas?

John O'Brien
It would not be surprising to see Trudeau charge NB for army time and give it to Quebec for free for some trumped up reason; to curry a few votes there.

Tim Biddiscombe

Reply to @John O'Brien: That would be very surprising actually.

Tim Biddiscombe

Reply to @John O'Brien: That would affect his votes in NB.

Think again..

David R. Amos

Reply to @John O'Brien: "It would not be surprising to see Trudeau charge NB for army time and give it to Quebec for free"

Methinks if you had listened to the webcast you would know Sajjan's position on that issue N'esy Pas?

I sure hope it's over soon. This is about all we read about here.

Reply to @Marguerite Deschamps: It gives the perpetually unemployed and undereducated climate change deniers something to read and complain about in between submitting their EI reports.

Reply to @Marguerite Deschamps: why all the thumbs down? Don't you want it to end too?

Bob Smith

Reply to @Marguerite Deschamps: Why? It's an annual event that you can set your calendar on every year. It's been around for decades. Media descends to interview folks (sometimes, the same ones from past), much hand wringing by politicos if its an election year and people blaming everything from dams to clear cutting to climate change for flooding homes built on flood plains.

Next year, round mid April, the cycle starts again...

Marguerite Deschamps

Reply to @Bob Smith: si true!

David R. Amos

Reply to @Bob Smith: 'Next year, round mid April, the cycle starts again... "

Methinks that why they call them "flood plains" N'esy Pas?

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan visits areas affected by flooding in New Brunswick

Federal defence minister, N.B. EMO update flood situation LIVE

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan and New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization officials deliver the latest update on the flood situation in the province

Emergency officials are keeping a close eye on the St. John River, as water levels continue to hover above flood stage in southern New Brunswick.

Geoffrey Downey, a spokesperson for the Emergency Measures Organization, says heavy rain over the weekend has forced water levels to sit above flood stage from Fredericton all the way to Saint John.

"Anywhere that's above flood stage, you have problems," Downey said in an interview with Information Morning Fredericton

Defence Minister Harjit S. Sajjan and New Brunswick Public Safety Minister Carl Urquhart are visiting Saint John and will be speaking at a news conference at 11:35 a.m. today.

Water levels in Fredericton are expected to sit around 7.5 metres throughout the day. Flood stage is 6.5 metres in Fredericton

Although water levels rose another 10 centimetres in New Brunswick's capital over the weekend, Downey said the river is expected to drop by Tuesday.

"The rain is what's driving the height at the moment, there's not a whole lot of snow left in the woods," he said.

Who's still above flood stage?

In Maugerville, water levels are expected to increase to 6.7 metres. Flood stage is six metres.
Water levels in Jemseg will remain steady at 6.2 metres. Flood stage is 4.3 metres.

In Grand Lake, water levels are expected to sit at 6.3 metres. Flood stage in that area is five metres.

In Sheffield-Lakeville Corner, the water level is at 6.5 metres. Flood stage is 4.8 metres.

In Oak Point, the water level is 5.3 metres. Flood stage is 4.7 metres.

And in the Quispamsis-Saint John area, the water level is 5.1 metres. Flood stage is 4.2 metres.

The worst is over

Wayne Tallon, the director of Fredericton's Emergency Measures Organization, said he is optimistic the worst of this year's flooding is over.

"The good news is that we hope that's the height it'll reach and it'll start going down," he said.

Tallon said inspectors with the province and Fredericton Fire Department will start assessing areas that were flooded to see the total amount of damage. He doesn't expect damage to be as bad as 2018.

"We didn't get the really high winds," he said.

"The winds are the factor that causes a lot of damage because it creates waves."

Residents could return home today

Bill Lawlor, the provincial director with the Red Cross, said 437 households and 1,095 individuals have registered with the non-profit organization.

Kevin Clifford, the director of the Saint John EMO and the city's fire chief, said residents could be returning back to their homes as early as Monday night.

Once residents return back to their homes, he's encouraging them to remove anything that's wet or has been damaged by flooding to prevent the spread of mould.

How the St. John River floods

How high will the St. John River rise this spring, and does the Mactaquac Dam have anything to do with it? A New Brunswick flood, explained. 1:26

He said residents should be removing these items between a 24- and 48-hour time period.

"After 48 hours scientists have told us that the mould will take root in the homes," he said.
Clifford said emergency officials will assist in removing items from homes, many of which were already impacted by last year's flood.

Clifford said emergency officials assisted more than 50 homes in the Saint John area last year.

Military to help with flooding as long as needed, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan says

Sajjan said about 2,000 troops have been deployed inside Canada to help with flooding

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan says the military will stay in New Brunswick to help with flooding until water levels recede.

"We'll be here as long as we're needed," he said at a news conference in Saint John on Monday morning.

Sajjan and New Brunswick Public Safety Minister Carl Urquhart are visiting Saint John, an area experiencing significant flooding.

But Sajjan reiterated that New Brunswick won't have to pay for military help. He said the cost will be evaluated once troops leave.
"The cost is quite significant when you deploy military with all their equipment," he said. "This comes out of our own military budget. … That's something we will look at a federal level."

At the new conference, Sajjan blamed climate change for this year's major flooding, as well as the historic flooding in 2018. He also pointed to British Columbia fighting floods and fires in 2018.

"We do need to start looking and working together across Canada at all levels of government, at what are the things that we need to start mitigating to making sure we're not just looking at a response," he said.

Right now, more troops are deployed in Canada than overseas, Sajjan said. About 1,600 are deployed overseas and roughly 2,000 within Canada.

Getting back to normal

Emergency officials in New Brunswick are also keeping a close eye on the St. John River, as water levels continue to hover above flood stage in southern New Brunswick.

Greg MacCallum, director of the New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization, said communities south of Fredericton will see high water levels over the next few day. He urged residents to stay vigilant.

"Things will return to normal but it will take some time to run its course," he said.
