Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the
8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the
Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial,
theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded
to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of
young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and
Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their
answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under
the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos
provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky
answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the
question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not
paying 10 cents for it."

The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
By Gisele McKnight
FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.
"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife."
So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.
"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for
anything, but you take what they offer."

Reply to @David R.
Amos: For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd
jobs and conversation all over North America.
Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and
a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself.
He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It’s alright to ***** in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s
not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."

Reply to @David R.
Amos: "What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted
blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and
NAFTA, to name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier
flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially
young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t
necessarily vote for me, but vote."
Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name.
"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell.’"

New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board
IN THE MATTER OF an application by New Brunswick Power 7 Corporation for
approval of the schedules of the rates for the fiscal year commencing
April 1, 2018. held at the Delta Hotel, Saint John, New Brunswick, on
February 9th 2018.
Page 601
VICE-CHAIRMAN: I was a bit surprised when I heard this morning and
yesterday that you are entering into a contract at the end of February
and is that with respect to the purchase of the smart meters?
MS. CLARK: That's correct.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: So how can you enter into a contract without the firm
approval of this Board, if we are going to approve or not the AMI? How
prudent is that?
MS. CLARK: So we are at the end stages of the contract in terms of just
the final terms and conditions, but we have been very clear that we --
with the vendor -- and they recognize that, because we also have Nova
Scotia Power, who is part of our consortium, who also needs Board
approval. So should we not get -- this is conditional on EUB approval.
So should we not get EUB approval, the contract would not proceed.

Reply to @David R. Amos: Transcript continued
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Now there was discussion yesterday, I think it was with
Mr. Stoll regarding time of use and time based pricing, and so I went
through the evidence this morning, and in your main evidence, and I
think one of the
Page 602
objective of having the AMI going forward to a time of use price
structure -- rate structure. So am I understanding that correctly
MS. CLARK: That is correct. And in the evidence, we did answer an
interrogatory on that and you will see that AMI is an enabler for time
varying rates in the Energy Smart NB Plan. And we did have time varying
rates included in our investment rationale. We took it out, because we
couldn't -- we couldn't pinpoint without more detail as to what those
time varying rates may be and the benefit of those, so we took them out
of the investment rationale at this point in time, but certainly it's
something that we are looking at in the future.

Reply to @David R. Amos: Transcript continued
VICE-CHAIRMAN: So the fundamental question here is that the Board should
heard -- or hear Matter 357 before approving the AMI? So if we don't
approve time of use, that basically what will happen with your AMI, I
mean it's -- if we don't approve the time of use, which we are going to
hear next year, how can we proceed in approving the AMI before we look
at the rate structure?
MS. CLARK: As we have talked about in our investment rationale, there
are a number of other benefits to both the customer and to the utility
over and above time varying rates that we believe are important for the
Page 603
utility and for the movement forward of our Energy Smart New Brunswick
plan. Many of those benefits accrue to the customer. And many of those
benefits accrue to the utility and ultimately the customer. So even if
we were not to move in the direction of time varying rates, we believe
that the investment rationale supports the AMI installation based on the
other investment -- or based on the other benefits that it provides.

Roy Kirk If
NBP really wants to do this, start small. Put the meters on large
industrial customers, charge them cost-recovery based time-of-use rates,
and cut out their subsidies. That will give you the biggest bang for
the buck in terms of reduced energy use.
Run that program for 2 terms of government. If it survives the political
push back, then roll it out to commercial customers. Run that for two
more terms of govt, then maybe apply it to residential customers.

McQuarrie So
called 'smart meters'won't safe anybody a dime. Contrary to the
nonsense being put forward by NB Power, smart meters will drive up
public health costs. The increasing problems associated with
electromagnetic radiation have been documented and more than 40
countries have halted the technology until the full health impacts are
known. NB power is ignoring the obvious health problems, and it will be
ratepayers who pick up the tab. Shame on NB Power for not being
truthful, and shame on the CBC for not investigating the health damages
from this technology that have been well documented. Indeed, Ontario
health professionals and scientists are calling for a halt to the
expansion of this technology - and here's a link to what those
professionals are saying (I do wish the CBC would not blindly accept
whatever codswallop NB power spouts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxXgGauTdy0

Reality:
1.Real time reporting of energy consumption by smart meters will enable
NBPower to activate time of day billing(customer paying higher rates in
early morning and supper time slots)
2.Human meter readers will become unemployed.
3.All other reasons are window dressing......

Ray Bungay Maybe
the board should also consider the health issues Smart Meters have been
proven to case, One state in the US, Pennsylvania showed many health
effects and some residents in Nova Scotia want them gone as well. Must
be Mr Thomas’s last stand, such as:
Smart Meter Health Effects
In nearly every community around the world where wireless smart meters
have been installed, a percentage of residents complain of health
effects that started after installation. The residents often did not
know that smart meters had been installed. The most common symptoms are:
Headaches
Insomnia
Fatigue
Tinnitus
Heart arrhythmia/palpitations
Decreased immune function
Irritability
Decreased cognitive function
The research certainly backs up the link between these symptoms and EMF
pollution. However, there seems to be something in particular about a
wireless smart grid and smart meter that is causing a significant
decrease in human health. It is most likely the erratic, high intensity
pulses that wireless smart meters create. Some meters pulse up to
190,000 times per day (essentially constant pulsing). These pulses
travel nearly 2 miles and can conduct along all copper electrical wiring
within a home and community. The pulses are then re-radiated into the
living environment, which causes the above symptoms.

NB Power is asking for a second chance
for smart meters and has submitted a new business plan to the Energy and
Utilities Board to help make the case.
The utility's application asks for approval of the $92-million smart-meter project that was denied last year.
The
EUB, which must approve the spending, previously said the cost of
installing and operating the meters outweighed the benefit to the
public.
But
the utility has spent the last 12 months putting dollar figures on
benefits that were not quantified in the previous application, said Lori
Clark, NB Power's senior vice-president operations.
She
said NB Power is saying the meters will save New Brunswick ratepayers
$31 million more than previously calculated over the next 15 years, the
lifespan of the meters.
The utility's original submission had
the costs outweighing the benefits by around $1 million. But during the
hearings in February 2018, NB Power changed its calculations to show the
budget would break even over the life of the project.
The EUB was not convinced that would be the case.
"We've
taken some time and used other consultants … that work in other
jurisdictions to help quantify some of those benefits" Clark said.
The
meters can calculate energy usage more accurately, transmit it
wirelessly to the utility and provide real-time readings to the
customers and NB Power, Clark said. She said 80 per cent of Canadian
meters are smart.
Lori Clark, NB Power's senior vice-president of operations, says the utility considers smart meters essential. (NB Power/Submitted)
The
$31 million in additional savings come from quicker restoration, since
the utility won't have to rely on customers to report outages, alerts to
the customer when their usage is high and remote connections and
disconnections for renters.
"When we don't have to roll out
trucks, [there is] obviously less CO2 that we're emitting as well," she
said. "So it's good for the environment and good for our customers."
Some
people opposed to the meters expressed health concerns because of the
wireless capabilities of the meters, but the EUB was convinced there is
no public-health risk.
Clark said approval of the project is "essential for us."
"It's really important that we get this fundamental building block in place so we can continue with the smart grid," she said.
When
the EUB denied the first application, board members did not deter the
utility from applying again but with a more persuasive business plan.
Proving a good business case
Public
intervener Heather Black previously opposed NB Power's smart meter
plan. She said this time around she will be scrutinizing the utility's
business plan just as closely. However, she said the dollar figure on
savings is a good sign.
"At first blush, having a proposal that
NB Power says will have a net benefit of $31 million is a better
proposal to submit to the board than one that says it will break even,"
she said.
Public intervener Heather Black previously opposed NB Power's smart meter application in an EUB hearing in Saint John. (CBC)
"But
that proposal still has to be subjected to, you know, testing and
evaluation and review by all the interveners and the board."
The
EUB and NB Power will meet to set a schedule on Aug. 26, and the final
oral hearing will be in January of next year, Black said.
"After
the oral hearing, then the board takes its decision, which usually
takes several weeks," Black said. "And so it will probably be the late
winter before before the board comes to a decision."
