Reply to @David R. Amos: yes, you are undoubtedly a daily preoccupation for all these people ... .
Al Clark
Reply to @Josef Blow: Now THAT was funny!

Reply to @Al Clark: Methinks in more ways that one N'esy Pas?
David Amos
Methinks we already know who one spokesman for Mr Vickers is N'esy Pas?
Lou Bell
Perhaps Mr. Vickers can find out who wrote the blank cheque to the Organizing Committee of the Francophonie Games . Appears the Libs/ SANB got caught with their hands in the cookie jar , and being the dedicated ex RCMP officer that they claim , perhaps an investigation is the best option !
Josef Blow
Reply to @Lou Bell:
I, like you, hope an investigation will uncover who is responsible for
the mess surrounding the games. I do not think, however, that there was
a "blank cheque", as you suggest, nor was the SANB involved in the
affair, unless I am mistaken.

If the government of New Brunswick limits its cost-benefit analysis of
the Francophonie Games strictly to financial considerations, we are
jeopardising l’Acadie...SANB Jan. 2019 Robert Melanson

McShane: Why are you being given license to ridicule my name? That
means, "Why are you allowed to make fun of my name"?

Reply to @Lou Bell: Didn't the CoRservatives sign all the land to the Irving for a penny on a dollar? Since then there has been massif forest cuts and huge floods every year....

You know, you look around and see lots of "silly", and you think: "it can't get any sillier", but then it just does, and you think WOW, just WOW!

Couldn't SANB find any other puppet material?

Gabriel Bouche
How much free publicity does this guy need? There's already been articles saying that he was going to be the new leader of the Liberals. Why bring it up again?
Josef Blow
Reply to @Gabriel Boucher: I think the article was written because it is news.
David Amos
Reply to @Gabriel Boucher: Go figure
Richard Dunn
I bet they are fighting over who will resign their seat, and the fear of losing the byelection.
Monique LeBlanc, in Moncton East, would be a good one to resign. She operates a business and is an invisible MLA......rumour is the party is not happy with her.
Josef Blow
Reply to @Richard Dunn: what is the name of the business that Ms. LeBlanc operates? Do you have any other rumours to spread?

Reply to @Josef Blow:
The hours, and address, are clearly posted. This is a fact, and one
that she has confirmed in conversation.
Josef Blow
Reply to @Josef Blow:
thank you for the link. Unfortunately, I cannot find Ms. LeBlanc’s name
on the link for the business. Regardless, nothing precludes an MLA
from holding a job in addition to that in the legislature.

Reply to @Richard Dunn: He might as well just wait .. election will be soon
Josef Blow
Reply to @val harris: « He»?? Ms. LeBlanc is a woman.
Shawn McShane
Reply to @Josef Blow:
Seeing as how you accused someone of spreading rumors and then you
were proven wrong, where is your apology?
Josef Blow
Reply to @Shawn McShane: What are you referring to, Mr. McShane? I have somehow been proven wrong? Of what?
Josef Blow
Reply to @Shawn
McShane: When you f ally make a determination of what you are trying to
convey, please do not hesitate to share with the readers. I have not
accused anyone of spreading rumours (other than cite someone who stated
that he was doing just that). Nor was I "proven wrong" about anything
(unless I am mistaken). And, are you in the habit of apologizing for
doing nothing wrong& I'm not. Over to you.

Notice how we know next to nothing about liberals, individually?...the point about invisible mla's is an interesting one, don't you think? Aren't mla's suppose to be public ppl...accessible and actively communicating their positions with the electorate?

aware you were so intimate. Not that there's anything wrong with that

and go back to work with the Irvings as he is doing an extremely poor
job as Premier

Dunn: We all cant be visible as Higgs is with his campaign for the
Federal minister Sheer across Canada on NB's dime...
Pierre LaRoches
This guy has been gone from NB so long it is ridiculous that he has been just handed the Liberal leadership. Nice of him to drop in I guess.
David Amos

Matt Steele
Sadly , Mr. Vickers has been reduced to being the lap dog for the Parti Acadien , The SANB controlled Liberal Party will tell him when to jump , and how high . It is very telling that the only person that the Liberals could find to lead their party has not even lived in N.B. for over FORTY YEARS....very telling indeed . Hopefully Mr. Vickers has been watching as all the TAX and SPEND NDP and Liberal prov. govt. have been dropping across Canada .
Josef Blow
Reply to @Matt Steele: newsflash! The parti acadien disbanded in 1986. So much for astute political observations.
Mack Leigh
Reply to @Josef Blow: Prove it !!!
Josef Blow
Reply to @Mack Leigh:
if you check out the public record (I.e. Elections NB), there is no
Parti acadien to be found. Sorry to state the obvious.

Reply to @Matt
Steele: You must be mistaken- I suppose you mean that Higgs is being
controlled by the PA and other former COR members

For those who have not put 2 and 2 together, the names David Amos and

Where's Brian Gallant, he's a member of this caucus. That says something does it not?
Matt Steele
Reply to @Dave Peters: .......Brian Gallant is still off sulking after being kicked out of office after ONLY ONE TERM....lol
Josef Blow
Reply to @Dave Peters: indeed. It says that he is a member of the caucus.
Mack Leigh
Reply to @Dave
Peters: He took his toys and went home to his riding where no one has
seen or heard from him.... So much for Gallant representing his
constituents....Must be waiting for his buddy Dominic LeBlanc to return
home for the summer...time for a little pep talk..
David Amos
Reply to @Dave
Peters: Methinks he is hiding under a rock waiting for a fine pension to
kick in After that no doubt he will take up consulting until he is
appointed to be a Judge or a Senator by his political party pals N'esy

Reply to @Lou Bell:
Right?!?!? When he was on the table I wondered that the entire time.
He has had a great career and is a stand up guy but has no business
experience?
David Amos
Reply to @Heather Smith: Keep wondering
Marc Martin
Reply to @Heather
Smith: Yeah like business experience helped Higgs run 4 consecutive
deficit when he was finance minister under Alward....

Kevin Vickers declared Liberal leader, effective April 24
Party cancels June leadership convention
New Brunswick Liberals are cancelling
their June leadership convention and are declaring Kevin Vickers the new
leader of the party effective April 24.
The party's board of directors met Tuesday night to officially approve Vickers's acclamation.
He became the sole candidate in the race after René Ephestion of Moncton, the only other party member to file paperwork by the March 29 deadline, took himself out of the race.
Vickers will replace former premier Brian Gallant as Liberal leader. Gallant resigned after his government lost its majority in the legislature in last September's election and then lost a confidence vote in November.
Vickers was not available for interviews Wednesday.
The party said he'll hold a news conference when he becomes leader April 24.
The 62-year-old newcomer to electoral politics announced his candidacy last month after retiring as Canada's ambassador to Ireland. Vickers was sergeant-at-arms of the House of Commons for almost a decade after a career in the RCMP.
Vickers does not have a seat in the legislature. Longtime Bathurst East-Nepisiguit-Saint-Isidore MLA Denis Landry has been serving as interim leader and leader of the Official Opposition in the house.
The party had scheduled a leadership convention in Saint John in part because it needs to rebuild support in the city if it hopes to take back power in the next election.

With the convention cancelled, the party will instead hold a policy convention there next spring.
That could coincide with the next election campaign. The People's Alliance promised last fall to support the Progressive Conservative minority government on confidence votes for 18 months.
Ephestion said in a Facebook post on April 8 that he was out of the race and wished Vickers luck. A spokesperson for Ephestion later said he had not been approved during a vetting by a party committee.
