Is your neighbour in a different federal riding? This is why
‘It's a bit like Rubik's Cube,’ says retired professor who helped reshape New Brunswick ridings in 2012
· CBC News · Posted: Oct 19, 2019 8:00 AM AT
The next time riding boundaries shift could be after the 2021 census, but does that mean you and your neighbour might end up in different ridings? (Mike Heenan/CBC)
At an intersection along Whitepine Road in Riverview, drivers are besieged by election campaign signs, far more than your average high-traffic corner.
That's because the road marks the border between two federal ridings — Moncton-Rivervew-Dieppe to the north, Fundy Royal to the south. The boundary cuts Riverview almost in two, and Mayor Ann Seamans says it can be confusing for residents come election time.
Multiple residents on Brewster Street, one street south of Whitepine, told CBC News they should be included in the riding with neighbouring Moncton. They say their interests are not as closely aligned with Fundy Royal communities like Sussex and Quispamsis.
Seamans made a similar point in 2012 when officials readjusted the boundaries and opted to maintain the border through Riverview. Seven years later, the two-term mayor said she was speaking up for her residents, but she doesn't think the split has negatively affected the municipality.
It's better to have two MPs in your corner than one, she said.
It's not the only boundary in New Brunswick's 10 federal electoral districts that may raise an eyebrow.
The latest boundary for the Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe federal riding. (Elections Canada)
Dieppe has a chunk of the city belonging to Beauséjour. Rothesay and Quispamsis, two communities that share several municipal services, are in different federal ridings. Rural villages south of Grand Lake, like Gagetown and Cambridge-Narrows, are tied to the Fundy Isles riding.
There are many communities along every boundary that would seem to be a more appropriate fit in the adjacent riding, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. And it's not an easy task for those charged with the duty.
Elections Canada describes the independent commissions that redraw the lines as "high-wire balancing acts" — a fair comparison, according to Patrick Malcolmson.
The retired political science professor was appointed to the three-member commission that readjusted the boundaries in 2012. He described the process and what it was like to walk that high wire.
How are federal ridings reshaped?
The Constitution requires that federal electoral districts be reviewed after each decennial census.
Redistribution, as it's called, is led by independent commissions established in each province.
A commission is permitted to tweak boundaries but not the number of ridings. For New Brunswick, that means keeping it at 10. The commission makes its recommendations, accepts feedback during public hearings and delivers a report to the chief electoral officer.
The current map of federal ridings in New Brunswick. (Elections Canada)
House members can object to the recommendations in the report. The commission must consider any objection but is not compelled to make any changes. A final report is submitted to the Speaker of the House. Once the speaker tables it, the commission's decisions are final.
Reflecting on the framework, Malcolmson said the Canadian system is probably "one of the best systems, at least at the federal level, that exists." He said typically people with legal or academic backgrounds are appointed to the non-partisan commissions.
"You find that, you know, basically the commissions are made up of people who have a lot of expertise and have no political axe to grind," he said.
They seek to improve representation, he said, not to manipulate constituency boundaries for political purposes, the gerrymandering often seen in the United States.
What criteria are used to adjust boundaries?
Each commission is given an "electoral quota," the number of residents permitted in a single district. It's essentially the province's population divided by number of ridings.
Commissions must draw the boundaries to be "as close as reasonably possible" to the electoral quota. In New Brunswick, the number during the most recent redistribution in 2012 was 75,117.
But they have some wiggle room.
It's a bit like Rubik's Cube, you know, because if you do that you have to change the boundaries somewhere else.
- Patrick MalcolmsonThe riding population has to remain within a 25 per cent margin on either side of the quota.
That's almost a 40,000-person window to work with in New Brunswick.
But it's still a tricky task, given the continuing migration to urban centres and depopulation of rural New Brunswick. Because of the population shift, the 2012 commission faced a crucial fork in the road early on in its work.
One option was adding surrounding population to urban centres and making more urban ridings — two each for the Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton areas — reducing the number of mixed or rural districts to four. The other option was to take a bit from urban centres and add to the other districts.
Commissioners opted for the latter.
"It's nice to sort of say, 'Well, we should have two ridings for each [region] of the major cities,'" Malcolmson said, "but I think you'd have quite a groundswell of discontent from people who live outside the cities that now they're really not going to have a voice. And I think they already feel that they don't have a voice."
The Riverview/Fundy Royal issue began with a proposal to put all of Dieppe in the Beauséjour riding, leaving Moncton and Riverview as one. But residents of Dieppe objected. So to meet the population quota, parts of Riverview and Moncton were moved into adjacent ridings instead.
"I think we were sort of caught on two sides and, ultimately, made what we thought was the best decision," he said.
"It's a bit like Rubik's Cube, you know, because if you do that you have to change the boundaries somewhere else."
What else is taken into account?
Commissions also need to consider manageable geographic sizes for the districts and communities of interest.
A community of interest is a key idea in shaping the boundaries in order to enhance representation.
The notion is open to interpretation, but Elections Canada calls it a "counterweight" to the cold, hard math of divvying up things by population.
The 2012 redistribution commission changed the name of the Saint John riding to Saint John-Rothesay to better reflect the geography. (Elections Canada)
"Strict population equality may well mean the splintering of otherwise natural communities," that share municipal boundaries, economic interests as well as social, racial, religious or linguistic characteristics.
On multiple instances, francophone groups in the province challenged boundary adjustments out of concern it would diminish francophone representation.
The Federal Court made history in 2004 by halting a boundary change that sought to move some Acadie-Bathurst residents into the predominantly anglophone Miramichi riding.
The New Brunswick commission tasked with the 2002 redistribution also proposed having every First Nation vote in the Miramichi riding, even though only three were in the geographic area. The idea was to boost Indigenous representation, but the plan was met with heavy opposition and eventually scrapped.
During the 2012 redistribution, the commission decided to roll Belledune into Acadie-Bathurst. The village, which is located between Campbellton and Bathurst, was previously part of the Miramichi riding "for no apparent reason," the commission wrote.
What's next?
The next decennial census is scheduled for 2021, meaning another boundary readjustment will soon be upon us.
"I would imagine the trend towards, you know, greater urbanization in the province has continued and there's a sort of process of rural depopulation happening," Malcolmson said.
"At some point, whether it's this time or next time, you're going to reach the tipping point and there's going to have to be a more substantial redistribution than there was.
"The commission will have to look pretty, pretty hard at redrawing those boundaries, and that will not be a walk in the park."

Methinks everybody knows that I am running again in Fundy Royal again but like lots of folks I can't vote there because I live just across the line as well N'esy Pas?

Wish sackville Nb could be put in a different federal riding. Now we are lumped in with the majority of francophone communities and basically will be liberals til end of time federally. Haven’t seen domitwit Leblanc in 20 years. Doesn’t even need to campaign to win.

I feel your pain I was born in Sackville and raised in Dorchester until
1967. When Little Louie centralized the government my Father who was
the County Administrator for Westmorland County Dad lost his job and had
to take the job offered in Fat Fred City as the Supervisor of Taxation
for the Province. He provided faithful and ethical service to the the
folks in NB until he died way too young. Trust that it was a job my
Father hated but he did enjoy forcing the Irving Clan to pay their
property taxes. Later my Mother married the former Chief Electoral
officer and a very Proud CoR Party member just like Premier Higgs once
was. Furthermore my Brother in Law's law firm partner is Brian Mosher. As the VP of the PC Party for the Maritimes Mosher assisted Petey Crybaby MacKay in merging with Harper's Party Methinks it should be a small wonder to R.B. Bennett's ghost as to why my Father's wild child has run for public office 7 times N'esy Pas?

Federal riding boundaries are one thing but the way they determined polling stations is completely ridiculous. My advanced polling station was 36 km north of my residence but there was an advanced station 2km south of us. Residences 1 km to 4 km north of us were designated to the advanced station 2 km south of us! Great way to encourage people to vote Elections Canada!!

I think the premise that the commission is trying to balance the rural/urban divide is just a smokescreen. The only actual challenges mentioned was to ensure that the Francophone representation is kept artificially high enough.

N. B. Human Rights Commission
Human Rights Award presented (02/12/11)
NB 1246Dec. 11, 2002
FREDERICTON (CNB) -- The New Brunswick Human Rights Award was presented to the Multicultural Association of Fredericton on International Human Rights Day, Tuesday, Dec. 10, by Lt.-Gov. Marilyn Trenholme Counsell.
The lieutenant-governor and a few other speakers addressed about 65 people who attended the award ceremony at Old Government House in Fredericton, which was festively decorated with garlands of fir and large beautifully decorated Christmas trees.

"International Human Rights Day is a day for us to remember that human rights are indivisible, that the right to preserve one's culture belongs to all human beings," said Dr. Patrick Malcolmson, chair of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission. "We can be proud that here in New Brunswick we have strong multicultural associations in Fredericton and other cities working hard to promote tolerance, diversity, and equal respect for each and everyone of us."
"The association has done a tremendous job of building community, fostering inter-cultural understanding and promoting the value of diversity," Training and Employment Development Minister Norman McFarlane said. "These are activities that benefit all of us."
David Peters, a member of the Human Rights Commission, said the Human Rights Award is given annually by the commission to an individual or group that has shown outstanding effort, achievement and leadership on a volunteer basis in the promotion of human rights and equality. He explained why the Multicultural Association of Fredericton Inc. (MCAF) had been selected.
The MCAF was formed in 1974 to facilitate communication and understanding between persons of various cultural backgrounds. It provides services and information to newcomers, to settled immigrants and to the community at large.
The MCAF serves as a referral service, and it provides contacts for those seeking to consult the multicultural communities. It also offers a number of services to newcomers, including second language classes, settlement services, a volunteer program, employment facilitation, placement opportunities for students, a homework club for children, as well as computer training. It also operates a multicultural day camp for young children.
Members of the association delivered greetings in several languages, after which Dr. Rosemary Clews addressed the audience. She had nominated the MCAF. The lieutenant-governor then presented the award to Ashraf Ghanem, the President of the Association.
"This is a very special award for us," said Ghanem in his acceptance speech. "The association's goal is to help individuals access opportunities and overcome barriers in this society in order to create a stronger, more harmonious community. In that sense, human rights are the association's whole reason for being. Our goal is that every person reaches their fullest potential as a respected, giving member of the community."
The event concluded with a Senegalese dance performed by four local girls, Alethea and Kara Dinkins and Hani and Ikran Hussein. It had begun with performances by local Spanish guitar player and singer George Melendez, who had sung a traditional Argentine folk song and one of his original compositions. The animator of the ceremony was Alanna Palmer, a member of the Human Rights Commission.
The Human Rights Award was established by the Human Rights Commission in 1988 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is represented by an elegant wood sculpture on permanent display in the Legislative Assembly building. Last year's recipient was Alida Léveillé Brown of Campbellton, N.B.

Patrick Malcolmson
-300x275.jpg)
BA (ALBERTA), MA (ALBERTA), PHD (TORONTO)
PROFESSOR EMERITUS
pmalcolm@stu.caDr. Malcolmson obtained a B.Ed. and M.A. from the University of Alberta. He studied political philosophy, as well as Canadian and comparative politics at the University of Toronto. He obtained a Ph.D. writing a dissertation Judicial Statesmanship and the Rule of Law: A Study of the Political and Legal Thought of A.V. Dicey. Dr. Malcolmson worked in the Legislative Research Service at Queen’s Park in Toronto, then taught at Red Deer College and the University of Alberta. He came to St. Thomas University in 1990, and is currently Professor in the Department of Political Science where he teaches political philosophy, American government, Canadian government, and methods of study in political science. He has served as Chair of the Department of Political Science, Director of the Human Rights Programme, Coordinator of the Catholic Studies Programme, Assistant Vice-President, and as Vice-President (Academic). He also served a term as Chair of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission. He is, along with Dr. Richard Myers, co-author of The Canadian Regime, and has written widely in the areas of political thought, literature and politics, and liberal education.
Leaving behind a legacy: Prof of 29 years retires
I remember the first class I took with Patrick Malcolmson at St. Thomas University.
The political science professor stood at the front of the classroom, a friendly smile beneath his white mustache. He was dressed in one of his iconic button-up dress shirt and tan dress pants combinations.
I don’t remember exactly what he said on that particular day nearly four years ago, but I’m sure he made his regular propositions: “Intelligent people disagree” and “humans are political animals and you can’t understand them unless you understand politics.” Those sayings would become a staple of my academic career the more classes I took with Malcolmson, and I’ll never forget them.
Malcolmson, 65, is retiring after teaching at St. Thomas for 29 years. During his time at the university he’s chaired five departments, been vice-president academic, inspired students to become professors and changed the way hundreds of students think.
He said he’s been fortunate to work with the colleagues he’s had during the last 30 years at St. Thomas.
“Ones I disagree with, and quite profoundly disagree with, I’m still quite good friends with and colleagues with,” Malcolmson said.
“That just seems to me to be the model of what a university supposed to be like. Because in the end, your real interest is in the project of education and in the students, not your disagreements with each other.”
Parting words
Malcolmson grew up in Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., about 30 kilometres east of Edmonton.He studied at the University of Alberta.
“[It] never crossed my mind to go anywhere else. I didn’t even know there were universities in other cities.”
He started studying chemistry, but switched to political science after taking a course and falling in love with the subject.
“My parents had the reaction that you might imagine, you know, ‘Why on Earth would you do that?’”
Malcolmson started teaching at STU in 1990. He came to STU after teaching political science at his alma mater.
During his last 29 years at St. Thomas, he’s seen enrolment at the university increase and he’s seen the addition of new departments, including human rights, fine arts and science and technology studies.
He hopes the university maintains its focus on liberal arts education.
“The idea of a liberal [arts] education is to acquaint students or teach them from a number of different perspectives, and then let them make up their own minds and encourage them to make up their own minds.”
Malcolmson has three reasons for retiring now. He wants to spend more time working on his four book projects, including a book about Shakespeare and politics and a new edition of The Canadian Regime, a book he co-authored about Canada’s political system.
Malcolmson also said he wants to retire before has to.
“Students and faculty members have said, ‘You shouldn’t retire, you’re doing a great job.’ But I think that’s the time to retire. You should go before you have to go. Before you feel like, ‘Yeah, I better quit because I’m no longer really as good as I used to be’ or something.”
He also wants to make room in the workforce for a younger professor to advance in their career.
“It’s time for me to get out of the way and let somebody else have a job,” he said, adding that a new, younger hire will rejuvenate the department and provide a fresh perspective. Laura Levick, 32, will be teaching in the political science department beginning July 1.
While working on his book projects will be his main preoccupation during retirement, Malcolmson is looking forward to spending more time with his family too. He also enjoys playing old blues music on his electric guitar in his spare time.
Malcolmson said he’ll still be on campus from time-to-time to work on his book projects.
Still, his presence in the classroom and on campus will be missed by faculty and students alike.
Fourth-year student Kastriot Axhami said Malcolmson’s dedication to his studies and being a professor is “awe-inspiring” and “unparalleled.”
“He gets you to really think about the issues and it gets you to really see a new perspective that you haven’t really thought of before.”
His great gift
There’s a generation of faculty at St. Thomas who were taught by Malcolmson and are now following in his footsteps, including Great Books professor Andrew Moore and human rights professor Amanda DiPaolo.DiPaolo took every class Malcolmson taught when she was a student at St. Thomas.
“I like to say that I have a major or even an honours in Dr. Malcolmson,” she said.
“By the end of my second year, I wanted to go to grad school and be a professor because of Dr. Malcolmson.”
She said he completely influenced her life. She went to Syracuse University to pursue her master’s and Ph.D. in political science, returning to STU in 2014 to teach in the human rights department.
“I wanted to be Dr. Malcolmson when I grew up, and I still want to be Dr. Malcolmson when I grow up,” DiPaolo said.
Moore, who graduated from St. Thomas in 2003, describes Malcolmson as “one of the pillars of the Earth.”
In the classroom, Malcolmson teaches students by reading a passage from a book and asking students what they thought of that passage. Then, Malcolmson questions a particular student and walks them through the consequences of their argument.
It’s method of teaching that students used to call “getting Malcolm-sized,” according to Moore.
“You’d make a claim or advance an argument and then realize you were cornered and no longer wanted to hold that position you had advanced. That’s his great gift as a teacher,” Moore said.
“He could show you that some arguments just didn’t hold up and that created this kind of appetite in students to then go find the arguments that did hold up.”
Moore said he admires the kindness and gentleness in Malcolmson’s teaching method.
“He is without a doubt one of the best teachers I’ve ever had.”

Election ends the way it began — as the closest in recent memory
Liberals, Conservatives tied on 1st day of campaign; 6 weeks later that hasn't changed
· CBC News · Posted: Oct 20, 2019 4:00 AM ET
Polls still show Justin Trudeau's Liberals and Andrew Scheer's Conservatives neck-and-neck in national support. (Justin Tang/The Canadian Press)
From start to finish, the polls have shown Justin Trudeau's Liberals and Andrew Scheer's Conservatives in a close race, with no party opening up a significant gap over the other.
But in the end, there will only be one winner. Well, maybe. Probably.
After six weeks, the Liberals and the Conservatives remain pretty much where they started this campaign — deadlocked with roughly equal levels of support nationwide. The only thing they have accomplished over the last 39 days is to make their electoral positions worse.
(The Poll Tracker's polling averages and seat projections will be updated throughout the day and night until voting begins. Check the latest numbers here.)
At the outset, both parties had enough support that a majority government was not an unlikely outcome. A little momentum, a few beneficial vote splits and maybe a small error in the polls would have been enough to put either party over the 170-seat threshold required for a majority government.
But with gains by both Jagmeet Singh's New Democrats and the Bloc Québécois under Yves-François Blanchet, the prospects for a majority government of any political persuasion look much slimmer — and Scheer might have put his party entirely out of the running for one, according to the Poll Tracker's estimates.
Trudeau's Liberals could potentially still get there. But they need the stars to align far more perfectly than was the case six weeks ago.
Stumbling front-runners
On Day 1 of the campaign, the Poll Tracker had the Liberals and Conservatives tied at 33.8 per cent apiece. That set the tone for the duration — the largest lead the Conservatives ever held up to yesterday was 1.8 percentage points, while the biggest Liberal advantage was just 0.9 points.
And because of the weakness of the NDP and Bloc, the two leading parties had reasonable hopes for a majority government. The Liberals were pegged to be just a few seats shy of 170 when the campaign began.
The Liberals and Conservatives are well below that number now. The two parties have dropped a couple percentage points during the course of the campaign, an unusual situation in which both of the parties with the best chance of forming government have become more unpopular. At this stage, at least one of the leading parties usually has some positive momentum.
Instead, with Scheer and Trudeau boasting equally awful personal approval ratings, both seem to be stumbling as the finish line approaches.
The slide has been steepest for the Liberals in Quebec and British Columbia, while the Conservatives have taken their biggest hit in Quebec and Atlantic Canada. Both Trudeau and Scheer were counting on significant gains in Quebec as part of their formula for a majority government.
The rise of the Bloc is the main reason that formula doesn't seem to be working.
Bloc, NDP momentum
Since the party's 2011 electoral catastrophe, the Bloc has had a rotating cast of interim and (temporarily) permanent leaders. Blanchet was only installed in the job in January. At that point, the future of the party wasn't looking particularly bright.
But with his skilful use of issues like Bill 21 and pipelines and following strong performances in the two French-language debates, the Bloc looks like it is back. The party has been projected to win more than 30 seats since the last of those two debates and could very well win the most seats in Quebec.
The Bloc has gained more than 10 points in the province since the beginning of the campaign, by far the biggest increase in support any party has experienced anywhere in the country.
Blanchet isn't the only leader who has used this campaign to improve his party's fortunes. While Scheer and Trudeau attacked one another and Elizabeth May of the Greens got distracted by early controversies, Singh has run a generally smooth campaign. He punctuated that with a good performance of his own in the English-language debate that featured all six major party leaders.
After polls suggested NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh won the English-language debate, support for his party has risen. (Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press)
Since then, the NDP has gained about five points nationwide, putting up better numbers throughout Canada. The New Democrats have seen the biggest gains on two coasts and are now poised to pick up seats in places like B.C., Ontario and Atlantic Canada — gains that could make up for many of the losses the party is still likely to suffer in Quebec.
The NDP has seen its numbers improve in Quebec and now has some prospects of re-electing a few of its incumbents. But the rise of the Bloc has an impact on the NDP as well as on the Liberals and Conservatives — in the Quebec seats the NDP has the best hopes of winning, it's the Bloc that is now its biggest rival.
Decisive votes in Quebec, GTA and Lower Mainland
Regardless of the shifts we've seen since the beginning of the campaign, the election-deciding battlegrounds are the same: francophone Quebec, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and B.C.'s Lower Mainland.
The Bloc is well-positioned to make significant gains in the francophone regions of Quebec. A poll by Léger for TVA found the Bloc holding a decisive 15-point lead over the Liberals among French-speaking voters in the province. That could translate into many seats, particularly as Léger finds the Bloc holding significant leads in central Quebec and the suburbs around the island of Montreal.
Polls suggest that the Bloc Québéois under Yves-François Blanchet is the top choice of francophones in Quebec. (Graham Hughes/The Canadian Press )
Even in the Quebec City region, the traditional stronghold of the Conservatives in the province, the Bloc is challenging the incumbents. Scheer has not helped his party's fortunes in Quebec, with Léger finding Scheer in third among Quebecers' choice for prime minister, trailing the second-place Singh by four points.
Scheer had a 13-point lead over the NDP leader for second spot at the end of August.
The GTA — which, including Toronto itself, has more seats than eight of 10 provinces — remains the decisive battleground. The Conservatives could struggle to make the gains they need in the region, with some polls showing the Liberals retaining a sizeable edge both inside and outside Toronto.
Even in the polls that show a closer contest, the region looks split — which is a sure sign of a minority government if neither the Conservatives or Liberals are able to pull off a near sweep.
The Lower Mainland is also looking tight. Surveys show a three-way race in and around Vancouver, suggesting some hotly contested battles between the Liberals and New Democrats in Vancouver proper, with the Conservatives pressing in on the Liberals in the suburban seats they won along the Fraser River in 2015.
If the Liberals can do better than expected in all three of these battlegrounds, a plurality is virtually guaranteed and a majority is possible. But it's the Bloc in Quebec that may prove to be the biggest obstacle in pulling that off.
An uncertain outcome
There are still a lot of unknowns heading into tomorrow's election. The late campaign momentum for the NDP and the Bloc makes it hard to predict what will happen over the final weekend.
For the New Democrats, a number of polls published Friday and Saturday hinted that the party might have hit its ceiling in support. It might be even dropping back a little.
The numbers were less clear on whether the Bloc is running out of steam or continuing to move forward.
There is still a lot of potential for an unexpected outcome. The Poll Tracker has wide seat projection ranges for a reason — voters are hard to predict, and it doesn't require a big difference between the final polls and the final results for the seat breakdown to look very different. Over the last few elections, the average of the polls has always been within three percentage points of the result for any party. But in a tight race, three percentage points is huge.
No party has ever won a majority of seats in the House of Commons with less than 38.5 per cent of the popular vote. If it is to happen tomorrow, it would require either a significant miss in the polls or a new historical record to be set. Neither can be ruled out, but that is what it will take.
So the odds heavily favour a minority government — with an edge to the Liberals emerging with the most seats. But the race has been a toss-up in the polls from Day 1. Why should it be any different in the only poll that counts?

The CBC and the rest of the corporate media have actually done huge
disservice to the Liberals’ remarkable 353 campaign promises in 2015
which, according to independent analysis (Laval University), they met in
whole or in progress 93% of the time. Only 7% were deemed broken,
including the two biggies, getting rid of FPTP and a balanced budget by
now. You missed dozens and dozens of measures to help the middle class,
the poor, Indigenous peoples, veterans, the elderly and the homeless,
refugees, women, gays and on and on. You missed the Liberals’ increase
in taxes for the rich, including eliminating “income sprinkling” to
family members who do nothing to contribute to the corporations.
Look it up. The Libs have delivered on the vast majority of their
campaign promises and they are in many cases transformational!

Fundy Royal campaign targets middle class with focus on jobs
Fundy Royal voters have elected Conservatives all but 1 time in 28 elections over 101 years

Candidates running in Fundy Royal are appealing to the middle class in the typically Tory-dominant riding, with a focus on jobs and the economy.
The Conservatives have strong roots in the southern New Brunswick riding — this area has given its support to the Conservatives in every election for the past century, save for 1993, when Liberal Paul Zed won office.
In 2011, Conservative incumbent Rob Moore captured nearly 60 per cent of the vote.
Moore said he hopes the party's record, with its focus on the economy and direct benefits to people, will earn him another term in office.

But, he said, he has also delivered on bringing federal cash to his ridinng.
Moore says the biggest question he's heard at the door is how the next government will move the regions's economy forward.
He says the answer lies in TransCanada Corp.'s proposed Energy East pipeline.
"The [Irving Oil] refinery is employing many people in our region, there's a lot of spinoff benefits, and if we can bring that resource from Alberta to New Brunswick to be refined and sold from our port, that is a great economic opportunity," said Moore.
Liberals focus on seniors, middle class

The Liberals are trying hard to knock off the Tories. Liberal
Leader Justin Trudeau has already appeared in Sussex, the largest
community in the riding.
"That's the majority of Fundy Royal," said Lockhart, who has owned Lockhart's Weddings and Special Occasions Inc. since 2004.
"People working everyday to make ends meet and the fact that we have a national campaign focused on strengthening the middle class to put more money in their pockets to then stimulate the economy,
I'm encouraged by that," she said.
Lockhart says her party's focus on seniors through initiatives like affordable housing, strengthening the Canada Pension Plan and guaranteed income supplement would benefit the region.
"They worked hard their whole lives and we need to make sure they have secure retirements," she said.
Hopeful for change
NDP candidate Jennifer McKenzie says she's sensing an eagerness for change in the large riding.
McKenzie, an electrical engineer living in St. Martins, threw her name in after becoming "discouraged and disillusioned by the current government."
People want our youth back, we want to have reasons to stay here.
- NDP candidate Jennifer McKenzieThe region has lost a lot of its youth because of the Harper government's lack of focus on the economy, she said.
" be part of the economy and have jobs," she asid.
"The current government's focus on the prairie provinces in the oil and gas industry left New Brunswick and the Atlantic provinces neglected, and we actually had a three year recession here."
McKenzie says the NDP's focus on small business would better serve the area's economy.
"Our agricultural industry should be flourishing, we have to make sure we protect the family farm, there's fishing, forestry, I'm proud of our tourism initiatives, so much is a good fit to the NDP," she said.
Lost youth
The proposed Energy East pipeline could add new jobs to the communities inside Fundy Royal, according to Conservative MP Rob Moore. (Dan Riedlhuber/Reuters)
The proposed Energy East pipeline is popular in many parts of
the southern New Brunswick riding, but the Green candidate said it is
the wrong way to attract investment.
"The pipeline is a bad idea for people locally and we heard about the pipeline spills in northern Alberta and Michigan, and that ... oil they hope to bring in through the pipeline is impossible to cleanup," Coburn said.
"It's a bad idea nationally because it's all going to be exported … And it's going to contribute so much to the greenhouse gases we're trying to avoid to the globe, and exacerbate global warming terribly."
Coburn says she has heard encouragement for her party at the door, a big turnaround from when she first stepped into the political arena in 2010.
"Now I feel I'm finally not talking into the wind as I have been a long time about environmental issues," said Coburn.
"People are aware of the environmental problems we experience, and we're going to experience if we don't make some changes. That's a positive change from when I first ran."
Fundy Royal contains parts of the counties of Albert, Kings, Queens, Saint John and Westmorland and includes St. Martins, Salisbury, Sussex and Petitcodiac, as well as part of Quispamsis.

It appears that the CROWN Corp known as CBC has failed its MANDATE once again and acted in a very partisan fashion in ignoring my name on the ballot. Correct? The real question is will the CROWN even allow this comment to be posted?

Tall tale-telling politicos, take heed: You could soon find your claims put through the truth grinder by the folks at FactsCan, a newly launched website that aims to provide an independent, non-partisan fact-checking service during the upcoming federal election.
■FactsCan website
According to co-founder Dana Wagner, who also works as a researcher at Ryerson University in Toronto, the team behind the site wants to help voters "separate out the truth from spin, distortion, omission, error and lies."
"Our goal is to enable Canadians to critically engage in political-speak, and to encourage politicians to be honest and accurate with their words," she told CBC News via email.
Unlike many countries, she noted, Canada does not have a major fact-checking outlet — and FactsCan is hoping to change that before the next election.

@David Amos I'm sorry
they ignored you,you have great points but you should really pick a
demographic that is smarter.Here people vote for cons without ever using
their brains.Sad really when all they represent are Irving ,the potash
corp and their minions.They are owned by them and they don't even know
it.

CBC writes lots about people who BS a lot then don't bother to put their name on a ballot. Yet I have done so FIVE times and they have never said a peep other than bar me from the airwaves and try to have their pals in the other CROWN Corp known as the RCMP arrest me. Page 14 of this old pdf file of mine is the reason why.

I must Say I am rather impressed at CBC's sudden fit of Integrity to allow my posts to stand the test of time for a few hours at least. (: Rest assured that I have been saving digital snapshots just in case they delete and block me as usual :)
In return here is an old scoop about CTV that CBC and everybody else and his dog has been ignoring for 11 very long years after I ran in the election of the 38th Parliament against the aptly named lawyer Rob Moore.

Mr. Amos, I confirm that I have received your documentation. There is
no need to send us a hard copy. As you have said yourself, the
documentation is very voluminous and after 3 days, we are still in the
process of printing it. I have asked one of my lawyers to review it
in my absence and report back to me upon my return in the office. We
will then provide you with a reply.

Anybody bother to notice I am the only person posting here with a real name and it is the same name that is on the ballot in Fundy Royal?
Do ya think the lawyer Rob Moore "The True Conservative" or any of the others would dare to debate me in writing with their true name within a website funded by the taxpayer and controlled by questionable public servants? How about outside the CROWN"s domain within the Yankee website called Twitter? That is where I play very serious Political Hard Ball. See for yourself or ask Rob Moore's hero Stevey Boy Harper if I am a liar or not.

Lets just see if you will post this comment,,,
David Raymond Amos
@tony forward For the
record CBC is well aware that I am the fifth candidate. Hance Colburne

BTW Rob Moore and I know the truth about Randy Quaid's questionable arrests in Canada and the USA. More importantly so does Randy I know that for a fact.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/randy-quaid-release-jail-vermont-1.3274216
"I never worried about being found guilty or any of that for any of these charges because I know the truth, and I know the facts are going to come out at some point, and today was a good sign of that," Randy Quaid said
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/randy-quaid-court-appearance-1.3262238
"Quaid and his wife Evi, a Canadian citizen, have been living in Montreal since February 2013."
"Robert Gervais, an official with the Immigration and Refugee Board, confirmed in an email to CBC News that a detention review hearing for Quaid is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
But the reason for the actor's arrest is unclear.
Quaid, 64, was detained Tuesday morning after attending a regular check-in with CBSA officials in downtown Montreal.
Quaid's lawyer, Mark Gruszczynski, declined to shed light on the affair or to reveal the reason for Quaid's arrest."
