CIBC slams 'perplexing' N.B. refusal to raise timber royalties during record lumber price surge
'There's a landlord in the province that doesn't want to collect their rents,' says company analyst

New Brunswick is digging in on its decision not to raise royalty rates on Crown timber to take advantage of record prices for lumber, even though records show it has lowered royalties in response to weak lumber prices in the past.
As well, a top industry analyst says the province is preventing other sellers from getting better prices for their own wood.
Last week in an appearance on the CBC political panel, New Brunswick Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland said the province is not raising timber royalties on forestry companies as lumber prices across North America surge, in part, because it did not lower them during tough times.
"The conversation is around why don't we raise them when the price is good, but the conversation never centres around lowering them when there are hits to industry and the price is low," he said.
"There was no hue and cry to decrease them when times were bad."
But records show New Brunswick has adjusted royalty rates up and down based on economic conditions many times, often responding to tough markets with discounts.

According to regulations on file with the province, New Brunswick dropped Crown royalty rates charged on spruce, fir and pine sawlogs by 12.9 per cent in late June 2008 following a decline in North American lumber prices triggered by a collapse in US housing starts.
One year later, in June 2009, New Brunswick cut royalty rates on softwood sawlogs again by another 10.6 per cent following continued weakness in lumber markets.
Nevertheless, Holland said it is not the province's practice to adjust timber royalties to respond to what could be temporary market swings in lumber and he would need more evidence that the year–long escalation in prices is not a short term event.
"I have no issue with talking about pricing reflecting something that benefits the province of New Brunswick but it can't be chasing a trend. It can't be following an anomaly," said Holland.
A request to interview Mike Holland about why royalties were dropped for two years in weak markets in 2008 and 2009 and not raised now in strong markets was not granted.
In an email, department spokesperson Nick Brown acknowledged lumber prices were used in those years as a "signal" to justify royalty rates being lowered, but said market prices for forest products are normally not part of the royalty formula used for timber.
He said that could change if lumber prices stay high for an unspecified period.
"The Minister has recently stated that commodity prices can fluctuate and if the cost of wood is to remain at these levels, long term, he would re-examine the file," wrote Brown.

Several provinces have been taking advantage of record lumber pricing to earn millions of dollars more from Crown timber cut by forestry companies and have barely dented their profits while doing it.
Last week, Canada's largest lumber producer, West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd., reported record earnings of $609 million before tax from its lumber operations for the first three months of 2021, a stunning $592 million increase from one year earlier.
The company said the profits came despite paying higher rates for Crown and privately purchased wood it uses at mills in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.
"(Wood) costs for our B.C., Alberta, and Ontario lumber and Engineered Wood Products operations are expected to remain elevated as long as lumber, and Engineered Wood Products prices remain high...." reported the company.
In New Brunswick, critics charge the province isn't just foregoing millions of dollars in revenue for itself by not raising royalty rates, but is setting a price ceiling for wood that blocks others from being able to get better prices for what they sell.

Holland told CBC's political panel last week he's not convinced lumber
prices will stay high and does not want to raise royalty rates until he
is sure. (CBC)
Acadian Timber Cor.oration of Edmundston is the second largest non-Crown owner of forest property in New Brunswick behind J.D. Irving Ltd..
Acadian sells timber to mills for both pulp and lumber processing and was facing criticism last week for being unable to get better prices for its wood given what's happening in other provinces.
"Sawlog pricing appreciation in New Brunswick has underwhelmed despite record lumber markets," said a report issued by CIBC Capital markets in its rating of Acadian as an "underperformer" company largely because of prices it's getting for wood it sells.
"Log prices in New Brunswick have been sluggish due to the provincial government's perplexing decision to leave royalty rates on Crown timber unchanged for the past six years." said the report..
Hamir Patel with CIBC's Vancouver office wrote the assessment. On Acadian Timber's quarterly conference call, he pressed the company for an explanation of why New Brunswick, which owns half the commercial forest in the province, is unwilling to raise royalties in such a hot market.
"It seems like there's a landlord in the province that doesn't want to collect their rents," said Patel.
"It almost seems like a better approach would be to just simply refuse to sell at these prices," he said.
Current royalty rates for timber in New Brunswick have been in place since July 2015.
At the time they came into force, lumber futures on the Chicago Mercantile exchange were trading below $250 US per thousand board feet. It was the lowest price point for lumber of the last nine years and about 80 per cent below where prices have rocketed to this year.

The forestry companies also have their land holdings assessed at $100/ha. An artificially low rate. This has led the province to leave millions of dollars on the table for years. No wonder we are broke.

Forest landowners pay a fraction of their property taxes and here's why
New Brunswick governments have rarely tried to tamper with a tax deal popular among forestland owners
Low bills for JDI, Acadian Timber
"The province assessed the land as being worth $85,300. The independent appraisal done for the Nature Conservancy before the purchase put its worth at $950,000.
Low assessments have only one effect — they produce low tax bills.
In 2006, J.D. Irving, Ltd. bought 90,000 hectares of New Brunswick forest and a Lac Baker sawmill from Bowater Mersey for $70 million.
But because of the $100 assessment rule, the province valued and taxed the property before and after the sale as being worth $11 million.
Recent large forestland purchases show the gap between assessed value and market value
Vancouver's Acadian Timber, the second-largest private landowner in New Brunswick after JDI, owns 308,000 hectares of forest, a mass that would cover 60 per cent of Prince Edward Island.
In 2014, the investment firm Raymond James valued Acadian New Brunswick land to be worth $228 million. But for tax purposes the province assesses it for $31 million, or about $100 per hectare.
That assessment generates a significantly reduced annual property tax bill for Acadian Timber of about $600,000.
Tracey Steele, an Acadian Timber spokeswoman in Vancouver, said the company has nothing to say about its New Brunswick property taxes.
"We issue our financial statements and you are welcome to look in there," she said.
"Otherwise we don't have any comment further to that."

In Episode 9 of Is Our Forest Really Ours, Charles Thériault discusses the involvement of Frank McKenna and Bud Bird in forest management in New Brunswick. Produced by Charles Thériault.
According to Thériault, Bud Bird, a well-known businessman and former Progressive Conservative politician, while Minister of Natural Resources under the Hatfield government, “essentially privatized the Crown forest by dividing the land into ten timber licenses in 1982.”
In response to concerns of woodlot owners, the Crown Lands and Forest Act was amended in 1982 to say that the industry’s primary source of wood fibre had to come from private woodlots. The big players in the forestry industry objected to the new power given to woodlot owners and their marketing boards but Bird was able to console the industry by consolidating 483 parcels of Crown land into ten licenses. Today, only four companies, all large, multinational corporations, control Crown forest. J.D. Irving is the largest Crown forest licensee. Theriault argues, “This system has impoverished New Brunswick.”
Frank McKenna, while Premier of New Brunswick, changed the Act by striking the woodlot owners’ guarantee of primary source of wood supply to the province’s mills. Woodlot owners have been fighting ever since 1992 to have the market advantage returned to them. They say they are not able to compete with cheap Crown wood and they point to the overcutting of the public forest as one symptom of a broken forest management regime.
McKenna and Bird entered again in Thériault’s storytelling of New Brunswick’s forest history. In 2009, Fraser Papers, that owned the mill in Edmundston, filed for bankruptcy protection with the Canadian and American governments so that it could restructure. At the time, Brookfield Asset Management was the majority shareholder of Fraser Papers. McKenna is a long-time board member of Brookfield, a company that denied 450 retired mill workers in Edmundston their full pensions.
The restructuring of Fraser Papers involved splitting the company into two new companies: Acadian Timber and Twin Rivers. Bird is a former board director of Acadian Timber. According to Acadian Timber’s website, today, the company is the “second largest timberland operator in New Brunswick and Maine.” Twin Rivers operates the Edmundston mill and is one of the companies that the Alward government signed a controversial and unprecedented contract with in 2014 that allowed the company to cut an increased amount of wood from their Crown land license every year.
Frustrated by a political system that is captured by corporations, Thériault ran in the last two provincial elections, first as an independent and more recently, in the September 2018 election, as a Green Party candidate for Restigouche West. In that election, he came in second, with 31.5 per cent of the vote.

Minister defends not raising Crown timber royalties, despite soaring lumber prices
Crown timber royalties haven't budged, despite lumber prices jumping as much as 300 per cent
· CBC News · Posted: May 07, 2021 10:00 AM AT
Energy and Resource Development Minister Mike Holland said New Brunswick keeping its Crown timber royalties stable ensures the province doesn't lose revenue when the price of lumber drops. (CBC)
New Brunswick's natural resources and energy development minister is defending his government's decision to keep the royalties for wood harvested on Crown land stable, despite record prices for lumber across North America in the past year.
The province takes "a steady, stable approach" to the timber royalties it charges lumber companies for cutting trees on Crown land, which means it won't lower the fees when prices drop and won't raise them when prices rise, said Mike Holland, speaking this week on CBC's Political Panel.
"We have a steady, stable approach to our timber royalties to provide consistency and also to ensure that we don't leave money on the table. The conversation is around 'Why don't we raise them when the price is good?' But the conversation never centres around lowering them when there are hits to industry or the price is low."
In the past year, the price of lumber paid by consumers has climbed by as much as 300 per cent.
In Alberta, which ties timber royalties to the market prices of timber products, those record prices have also been generating record amounts of public revenue, with the province reporting timber royalties going $111 million over budget at the end of the last fiscal year.
New Brunswick, meanwhile, has kept its timber royalties steady while at the same time pulling out of tax-sharing agreements for gasoline sales on First Nations, with Premier Blaine Higgs saying those agreements deprived schools, hospitals and other public services of much-needed funding.
Holland said the province's stance on keeping timber royalties steady has meant the province hasn't taken hits to its revenue in the past when lumber prices were lower, such as when the United States imposed tariffs on Canadian lumber that were as high as 20 per cent.
"At that point, we didn't lower the royalty rates as well as in 2018, timber and the retail market was at an all-time low price. Again, province of New Brunswick did not lower royalty rates as well, like you refer to Alberta, following the commodity as it relates to the royalty rate."
Bathurst West-Beresford Liberal MLA René Legacy said he understands taking a stable approach that accounts for regular lows and highs, but doesn't think it accommodates "extreme circumstances like we're in now."

"When you hear that wood is going up 100 per cent, 200 per cent, would it be, you know, sensible to think that maybe we could benefit 20, 30 per cent from that in our fees?" Legacy said.
"I think most New Brunswickers have a really hard time comprehending that our resources aren't worth more when times are good."
Green Party Leader David Coon said the value of the timber on Crown lands is the value of its income potential, and to reflect that, New Brunswick would need to either adopt a model similar to Alberta's or Maine's, which he described as a competitive auction sale.
Some of those timber royalty revenues are also offset by Crown land management fees the province pays forestry companies.
Coon also noted the timber royalties exclude any revenue sharing with First Nations, which in recent years have filed legal claims for land in the province.
People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin said he thinks it's great that companies in New Brunswick are doing well given the higher lumber prices.
"But when you're taking resources off of Crown land, then the taxpayers need to benefit from that, and right now, they're losing a significant benefit from it," Austin said.
"And I think if we do tie it to the market and we look at ways to ensure that whatever we're paying out in management fees is being recouped to some extent from industry, we'd see a more level playing field and it would give the opportunity for taxpayers to get a better bang for the buck for the resources that they're giving to industry in the midst of this economic boom."

Skyrocketing costs force some N.B. contractors to walk away from housing contracts
Price of lumber has shot through the roof, but contractors say so has everything else
The cost of building material has skyrocketed to the point where some Fredericton-area contractors are now putting construction projects such as houses and apartment buildings on hold.
Others have started buildings but can't afford to finish them.
Jack Youssef, who owns the property development company Javo Properties, said he's had to walk away from a project on Fredericton's north side "indefinitely."
"We got the foundation in," said Youssef. "We were all ready, prepped and ready to go. We had our anchor tenant with our letter-of-intent signed. Our pricing was all locked in.
"When we went to start framing, our lumber costs alone went from about $27,000 to about $87,000."
On the city's south side, another contractor is powering through the record high prices of lumber and other building supplies in order to finish.

dozen contractors and politicians gathered at the Maugerville Community
Centre northeast of Fredericton on Wednesday night to discuss the
rapidly increasing cost of building materials, including lumber. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
Four years ago, Youssef Brothers Construction built a 24-unit apartment complex in Fredericton. He's now building a nearly identical one in the city's uptown.
"That development is about $700,000 more than the same development four years ago," said Louie Youssef. "It's crazy. But it's not just lumber. Lumber is probably $100,000 extra of that cost."
He said he'll have to make that money back by increasing rent once the project is finished.
Those rapidly increasing costs led two dozen contractors and politicians to meet Wednesday night in Maugerville, northeast of Fredericton, to try to come to terms with the almost daily increase in building costs.
Compounding the issue is the influx of people moving to New Brunswick from outside the province and a red-hot real-estate market.
"We have such an influx of people that want a piece of what we have now that it's eventually possibly going to price New Brunswickers right out of New Brunswick," said Youssef.
"If you're a builder that's done well for the last 10 years, my best advice to you is to take a year off. And come back when it's over hopefully."
Lumber not the only material spiking in cost
While the ever-increasing cost of lumber was often cited as the main culprit, contractors say other materials are also following the trend.
"Almost every single material," said Jenna Holland of Holland Homes. "From lumber to siding to any type of metal, soffit, fascia, exterior and interior doors — it's all gone up."
And despite the high costs, many materials have become scarce as demand is so high.
Contractor
and meeting organizer Lloyd Dutcher says he'll likely have to walk away
soon from building homes until prices come down. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
One contractor said he's had to call multiple suppliers for sheet rock to finish a project, and the material was so delayed workers had to cut holes in finished walls once it arrived to install it because construction had to continue on without it.
Youssef said it was a struggle to even order bathtubs for his project. He ordered them months ago, and they've yet to arrive. Although the building is on hold, he won't cancel the tubs, because he doesn't know how long it would take to reorder them.
Some at Wednesday's meeting have cancelledcontracts to build houses because it's become unaffordable. Others are considering simply walking away from contracting for at least the summer, or until prices come back to Earth.
Meeting organizer Lloyd Dutcher said he's had to cancel contracts to build homes for people who have already sold the houses they've been living in. That's left them no place to live after the closing date.
"It's awful," said Dutcher, who said he'll likely hang up his tool belt once the houses he's currently building are finished until prices come down.

Woodlot owners say N.B. pricing system keeps them from cashing in on high lumber demand

Woodlot owners say N.B. pricing system keeps them from cashing in on high lumber demand
Allege system hides true price for private wood
· CBC News · Posted: Nov 16, 2020 6:30 AM AT

About 7,000 vehicles a day pass the billboard on New Brunswick Route 1 at Sussex.
'We're buying wood!', it announces, with a link to the J.D. Irving Ltd. website and a phone number: 855-WOODLOT.
In the background stands the JDI sawmill, with long rows of stacked logs.
Dialling that number is one of a handful of ways woodlot owners can get their timber to the province's biggest buyer.
If you sign a contract with the company, you can collect $64.25 a metric tonne for spruce studwood logs used to make two-by-fours.
It's a rate that is maddeningly low for those woodlot owners who are selling logs. And it hasn't budged despite booming lumber sales in North America this year.
These private wood sellers see the price as a symptom of a broken system, where some are quietly paid more for their logs, and an abundance of trees available to mills from Crown land prevents the majority from cashing in when times are good.

About 40 minutes to the west of Sussex, at his family farm in Shannon, one of those private growers, Bruce Colpitts, recalls some wisdom shared 20 years ago by his wife's grandfather, Lawrence McCrea.
"He said, 'Look after the land and the land will look after you,'" said Colpitts. "Well, 20 years ago the price of studwood was about $80 a tonne. Today that exact same product purchased here is $65 a tonne.
"And I guarantee you our costs have not gone down."
Across the provincial border, Nova Scotia woodlot owners are collecting $75 to $93 a tonne for the same wood at the gates to their mills.
Not easy to sell in Nova Scotia
Those higher prices, triggered in part by a COVID-related jump in demand for lumber, aren't being realized by New Brunswick tree growers who don't see hauling the wood to Nova Scotia as an easy remedy.
Not only are there added travel costs to reach that province's mills, but U.S. tariffs on New Brunswick's lumber make it more difficult to process that wood.
Nova Scotia is exempt from U.S. lumber tariffs, a status New Brunswick also enjoyed until May 2017, when the U.S. concluded the rising share of Crown wood being consumed in this province was distorting the market, acting as an unfair subsidy to our mills.
A 20.8 per cent tariff was slapped on lumber originating in New Brunswick. JDI was targeted at a lower rate, 9.9 per cent.

So while the quality of Nova Scotia logs is no different than those of New Brunswick, they require a completely separate accounting system.
"They can't run it through the mill with the Nova Scotia wood," said Neil Silliker, general manager of the South East New Brunswick Forest Products Marketing Board, whose members, overwhelmingly family woodlot owners, have the best shot at capitalizing on higher prices across the provincial border. "They've got to clean all the New Brunswick sawdust, chips, lumber out of the mill in order to run Nova Scotia wood again."
As a result mills in that province have a preference for local logs, if they're available.
Cheaper New Brunswick wood has also held down prices at those Maine mills closest to our border, making the trip there less attractive to many sellers, according to the Carlton Victoria Forest Products Marketing Board in Florenceville.
Two-tier system
But groups representing the province's woodlot owners have long claimed the biggest reason prices are being held down at home is that the largest mill owners have access to similar trees in the grandest woodlot of all, the taxpayer-owned Crown forest.
The price paid by those companies for trees taken from Crown land are based on the private market, in other words, on how much woodlot owners can fetch for their trees.
The woodlot groups claim there's a two-tier system. On one side, low prices paid to private landowners keep Crown wood prices in check. On the other, harvesting contractors, who have established relationships with the mills are being paid premium prices for logs. And those premiums aren't being shared with the landowner and aren't being disclosed to the New Brunswick Forest Products Commission, the arm's-length panel overseeing the private wood market and keeping track of prices.
"There's a lot of things happening that no one is tracking," said Rick Doucett, president of the New Brunswick Federation of Woodlot Owners. And so it's very difficult to know for sure what's happening out there, and what's fair and not fair."
U.S. trade rules mean Nova Scotia mills have to store, saw and account for New Brunswick logs separate from their own. (Nicolas Steinbach, Radio-Canada)
In her October report, Auditor General Kim Adair–MacPherson, said only 20 to 30 per cent of the approximately 200 larger harvesting contractors respond to surveys on stumpage prices sent to them by the Commission.
There is no enforcement, even though it is required by law.
Her report recommends the province enforce the rule, or find a new way to get a more complete picture of that part of the market.
She also noted the province doesn't have a written definition for what constitutes fair market value for Crown stumpage, and that the province hasn't adjusted Crown timber rates, as required annually by law, since 2015.
Even so, to the dismay of private woodlot owners, Adair–MacPherson concluded the system for tracking private wood sales to set Crown wood rates is 'statistically sound' and a significant improvement over methods used in the past.
At the commission, executive director Tim Fox said
the study on private tree sales examines 18,000 transactions, 60 per
cent of which are between contractors and woodlot owners providing an
"accurate reflection" of the market overall.

for New Brunswick logs remained largely stable despite sharp increases
in lumber prices this summer. (Graham Thompson, CBC)
He said it is up to woodlot owners to ensure they are getting a good price for their trees by educating themselves about the market, something the province's woodlot marketing boards should be helping with.
"There may be certain cases where there may be [harvesting contractors] receiving a premium from a mill and not sharing a proportion (or any) of that premium with the woodlot owner when they could," said Fox. "When, or if that is the case, those wood producers directly contribute to keeping average stumpage rates lower."
Representatives from the majority of the province's marketing boards disagree with Adair-MacPherson's conclusion that the stumpage study, for the most part, is working.
At the Carlton Victoria Forest Products Marketing Board, Chair Andrew Clark says the Auditor General's team wasn't given the right numbers.
Is the data right?
"There's an old saying about computers, you know, garbage in, garbage out," said Clark. "We dispute entirely the fact that they can establish or pay a royalty rate based on these, on this stumpage data."
Mike Holland, the New Brunswick minister of natural resources and energy says he has confidence in the private wood prices survey. But he is on record saying there's work to be done on the province's forest management system. He's beefed up funding to allow the Forest Products Commission to add more staff to expand and speed up data gathering.
That, he said, will make the system more transparent, reassuring both international trade partners and the province's private woodlot sector.
An organization representing the province's mills says New Brunswick's private wood market is secure and stable, featuring sales between 'willing buyers and willing sellers, free from high price volatility seen elsewhere.
In the meantime questions are being raised about the whereabouts of a Deloitte study commissioned by the province in 2018.
Its mandate was to examine the forest products market in New Brunswick and in other comparable markets, and do an analysis of the "process and methodology" used to determine Crown wood rates.
The woodlot groups contributed to the study and have requested, without success, to see the final report.
A spokesperson for the Department of Natural Resources and Energy said the report is being reviewed and will be released in early 2021.

Province reinstates lumber exemption for small outbuildings, camps and barns
Use of certified lumber for those projects will no longer be required
· CBC News · Posted: May 06, 2021 4:46 PM AT
Justice and Public Safety Minister Ted Flemming announced the return of the lumber exemptions in a news release Thursday. (Submitted by the Government of New Brunswick)
The Higgs government is restoring a key exemption to building code regulations and delaying other changes, reversing a decision that had sparked angry reactions in rural New Brunswick.
Earlier this year, the province approved new regulations adopting the 2015 National Building Code of Canada but failed to renew an exemption for small secondary structures such as garages and barns.
That meant those structures suddenly had to be built with "stamped" wood from certified sawmills, which tends to be more expensive.
Small camps and lodges or sheds below 56.08 square metres, or 625 square feet, will again be exempt from the code, as will so-called "accessory buildings" like barns, the province said Thursday afternoon.
"I'm excited for sure," said James Rossignol of Bathurst, who told CBC News on Wednesday the requirement for stamped wood was causing headaches with his plans for a retirement "ranch" he wants to build in North Tetagouche.
"It's surprising that they actually made a change, so I guess they're at least listening."
The province will also retroactively create a transition period between the 2010 building code and the 2015 version, which took effect in February.
In a news release, Justice and Public Safety Minister Ted Flemming said some developers were concerned about "significant work" they'd done planning construction projects based on the 2010 code.
"We listened and are extending the grace period to provide industry with more time to adjust to the new building code," he said.

New rules force people in LSDs to use certified wood for projects like sheds and barns
Projects were once exempt, allowing property owners to build using cheaper wood
The removal of exemptions to building code rules means rural residents have to use certified wood to build outbuildings. (Erik White/CBC )
James Rossignol had been planning to work on his rural retirement dream home for two years, until new provincial rules stopped him in his tracks.
The federal government employee living in Beresford had his parcel of land in an unincorporated area in North Tetagouche, the perfect spot for what he calls a little "ranch": a bungalow, a garage, a second "hobby garage" and a barn for four horses.
"My wife is a country girl and she was born and raised around horses," he says. "So she's really happy about moving out there. And we're going to have the horses with us …That's the plan. That's the dream."
Rossignol is a follow-the-rules guy, so he went to the Chaleur Regional Service Commission for his building permits, where staff gave the all-clear to the barn and the second garage.
"They told me right off the bat, 'Your secondary buildings are not a concern for us. You'll purchase a 25 dollar permit.' And he basically told me that I can build whatever we want."
That suddenly changed in February when the provincial cabinet approved new regulations to adopt the latest, 2015 version of the National Building Code of Canada, giving it the force of law.
James Rossignol had already purchased building permits for a garage and barn and ordered wood from a small sawmill when he discovered the province had changed the rules on the kind of wood he could use. (CBC/Zoom)
Rossignol had secured a supply of wood from a local sawmill, but was told by a building inspector that, with the regulatory change, he was no longer allowed to use it.
"He told me that, 'No, no, you can't do that anymore'," he recalled. "You have to use manufactured lumber or stamped lumber--that's the key word he used."
"Stamped" lumber comes from a certified sawmill, and it's the kind of wood that's long been required for houses and other buildings under various versions of the building code.
The province always had an exemption for small secondary structures, but the regulations adopting the new 2015 code did not renew the exemption, leaving Rossignol in the lurch.
He says wood from a local, uncertified sawmill is not only better quality, it's less expensive.
"I don't consider myself wealthy. You know, I'm part of the middle class like everybody else. Every dollar I make, I budget for it. And I budgeted this project on that information that was given to me. And now it's a complete different ballgame ..."
"I keep telling them, at the end of the day, this is a barn. It's not a house. I fully support the building code for my home and stuff like that, 100 per cent. But this is a barn."
Green MLA Kevin Arseneau says the new rules make no sense and he's been receiving many calls and emails about it.
"We're talking about sheds. I understand a commercial project, an industrial project, even a residential project," he said.
But the change will require people in rural areas, including some with low incomes, to buy more expensive wood for the most minor structures.
"This is taking a lot of autonomy away from people in the rural lifestyle."
Arseneau said he's been working on the issue for a month and still hasn't been given an explanation of why the exemption was eliminated.
"That the government is not explaining why is a major problem. If you have a reason, spit it out," he said.
Public Safety spokesperson Elaine Bell said Thursday the department has "heard concerns" about the changes from New Brunswickers but did not explain what motivated those changes.
She said the department is "listening carefully to see how their concerns might be addressed. We will have more to say in the coming days."
Michel Boudreau, owner of the Boudreau Sawmill in Nigadoo that sold Rossignol the unstamped wood for his project, said he believes the Higgs government is trying to steer wood purchases toward larger companies including Irving-owned sawmills and retailers.
"What are we doing to hurt them?" Boudreau said, "It's not bothering them."
Arseneau wouldn't endorse that theory but said he could understand why Boudreau would assume it.
"Prices are going up," he said, "Was government thinking a lot of people would turn to the unstamped market?"
"When you see who's profiting from soaring wood prices right now, you can't help but think that there's some lobbies that are very strong in New Brunswick and some lobbies that are not as strong."
Arseneau said he was told a month ago a fix was coming.
Rossignol says now he's worried that if the province drags its feet on fixing the rules, he'll fall through the cracks, forced to shift his plans and buy stamped wood as he gears up for construction this summer.
"It actually frustrates me even more," he said. "This is delaying everything I had planned for the past two years. So I'm caught in the middle."

New Brunswick lumber companies quietly shattering income records
Salisbury sawmill owner flooded with calls for wood

Demand for lumber has been so high at Randy MacNichol's independent sawmill in Salisbury, N.B., he has difficulty taking time on the phone to answer questions about it.
"There is no stockpile of lumber in my yard," MacNichol said during a five-minute conversation about the daily parade of callers asking for wood.
"It hasn't slowed. I've had six beeps since you called me"
MacNichol sells lower-grade unstamped or milled lumber that's meant for smaller scale-projects.
Unrelenting demand
His operation is modest. But with unrelenting demand and record prices for wood across North America, all lumber production businesses, including his, are having a banner season.
"My guys in the woods are going to get a little bit more this year and old Randy is going to get a little bit more this year," he jokes.
MacNichol is open about the success he is having, but others in the province are not offering as much information.
Industry groups like Forest NB and New Brunswick Lumber Producers have said little about the change in fortune that has hit their industry, and last week did not respond to requests for comment about how well the province's mills are faring.
Randy MacNichol said demand for lumber 'hasn't slowed.' (Tori Weldon/CBC)
But after years of struggling with up-and-down markets and fighting U.S. duties and subsidy allegations, New Brunswick lumber companies are almost certainly shattering their own sales records and posting record profits.
One measure of that came in a Statistics Canada report last month that showed the value of treated and untreated lumber production in New Brunswick in January and February was $286.1 million, an unheard of figure.
The amount is not just a New Brunswick record, but $140 million more than the industry has ever made in those two months according to figures that extend back to 1992.
Runaway cost of softwood lumber
The windfall is almost entirely caused by the runaway cost of softwood lumber in North America that in February was trading on markets at average prices 169 per cent higher than in 2019.
Those prices then jumped higher again in March, and went higher still in April, with every working sawmill in the country earning record amounts on every board they can push out and get to market.

Last week, two of Canada's top-five lumber producers, Vancouver-based Canfor Corporation and Montreal's Resolute Forest Products, reported their own results for the first three months of 2021.
The companies, which had lost a combined $84 million on their lumber businesses during the first three months of 2020, made $828 million during the same 90 days this year, a sign of how dramatic the improvement has been.
Bank of Montreal analyst Mark Wilde marvelled at the volume of money, and on Canfor's earnings call questioned company CEO Don Kayne about whether an industry not used to such large profits was prepared to deal with the sudden riches.
"It's a lot of sailors hitting the town with a lot of money in their pockets, so silly things can happen," said Wilde.
Kayne said the company is still evaluating how to deal with its windfall. "We're taking a really cautious approach before we make any decisions at all."

Other large Canadian lumber companies are scheduled to report earnings this week, but, in New Brunswick, most operations are privately held and do not report their results publicly.
JD Irving Ltd is Canada's fifth-largest lumber producer, according to a ranking released last week by Forest Economic Advisors. JD Irving Ltd did not respond to a request for comment on its recent sales experience.
Surge has lasted a year
Overall, New Brunswick ranks fifth among provinces as a wood products manufacturer, but on a per capita basis is close to the biggest, just ahead or behind British Columbia from one month to another.
New Brunswick lumber companies have experienced surges in product prices before, like brief spikes that occurred in the summer of 2018 and in the spring of 2002, but nothing as large or as long lasting as the current wave that is in now its 12th month.
Precisely how well individual New Brunswick companies are doing in the current market is unknown. (Sara Jabakhanji/CBC)
Companies like Canfor and Resolute have to pay rising royalties for timber they use in provinces like British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario as the price they get from lumber made from those trees goes up. But companies in New Brunswick are not facing the same rising expenses.
"Those (royalty) prices reflect local demand and supply factors," Nick Brown wrote on behalf of New Brunswick's Natural Resources and Energy Development Department last month, explaining why royalty charges for timber in the province are not growing to match record prices for wood products.
"Because overall stumpage supply has remained generally constant and overall mill capacity has not increased, there has not been a significant increase to the demand or the supply of stumpage locally."
Precisely how well individual New Brunswick companies are doing in the current market is unknown, but, according to MacNichol, it's a good time to be in the business of selling lumber.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
What has past under the radar is the provincial government require that any wooden construction larger than 215 sq/ft need to be constructed with stamped wood products(lumbers products coming from large mills) which basically blocks private woodlot lot owners and small mill operators from using/ selling their milled wood.
Has reported mai 1st in the Acadie Nouvelle.
Unlike Irving owned newspapers that cherry pick their news so not offend their master, if not to propagate the Empires agenda.
My question to you why do you hate the french so much?
The only thing that is fake is the conservative fiscal responsibility you keep peddling.
Conservatives cry about the debt every time they negotiate with civil servants, financing programs that would help the most people, paying for needed infrastructure.
The forget about the debt when they give themselves raises, give subsidizes and other crown assets to the private sector or cut taxes to corporations and their rich owners.
Besides corporations and the rich getting richer what do they have to show to rest of us. Nothing but poverty and hardship.
Case in point, Higgs won't touch stumpage fees, the crownland giveaway under Alward has hurt many industries dependent on a mix forest, this on top of the government spending money we don't have defending some forestry business's ability to ship more lumber from crownlands to the States.

Wood has never been so valuable, so why aren't New Brunswick trees worth more?
Lumber prices have tripled in the last year but NB timber royalties paid by forestry companies haven't budged

New Brunswick is receiving no extra royalties from forestry companies for trees cut on crown land this year, even though prices for lumber made from those trees are at record highs.
Meanwhile. other provinces are moving to claim some of that growing windfall for their taxpayers.
That points to a fundamental flaw in New Brunswick's timber royalty system according to Chris Spencer with the Southern New Brunswick Forest Products Marketing Board.
"If the value of the product is going to increase and you're fortunate enough to be sitting on some of that raw product you would expect that you would receive the benefit," said Spencer, who works on behalf of private woodlot owners in New Brunswick.
"It's unfortunate New Brunswick's system doesn't allow that."
Lumber markets this year have shocked experts and stunned consumers, posting record prices almost weekly.
Chris Spencer is general manager of the Southern New Brunswick Forest Products Marketing Board and says if lumber prices are at record highs, that should be reflected in the price of trees sold to forest companies by the province and private sellers. (SNB Marketing Board)
John Jarvis runs the Home Hardware in Grand Bay-Westfield and hears disbelief from customers hit with sticker shock regularly,
"The increases haven't stopped," said Jarvis.
"Plywood in March 2020, we were selling it for $34.95. April 2021 it's $95.95. People who are used to buying a two-by-four for three and four dollars and they come in and its $8.50 are like 'What is going on?'"
It's been the same story in lumber markets across the continent.
Low interest rates have fuelled a steady increase in North American housing starts since a brief collapse at the beginning of the pandemic, with home renovation projects also spiking among people stuck at home over the past year
According to Vancouver based Madison's Lumber Reporter, trading prices in kiln-dried eastern spruce, pine and fir two-by-fours shot up from $450 US per thousand board feet in most of 2019 to over $1,600 US this month.
The price of a single three-quarter-inch spruce sheet of plywood passed $90 in Atlantic Canada last month, nearly triple prices from 2020. (Paul Palmeter/CBC)
"North American construction framing softwood lumber prices are reaching ever higher to the point most veteran industry players can't believe it," said Madison's in a report issued last week.
That has been tough on consumers, but a windfall for forestry companies, especially sawmills, which have been selling record amounts since last year.
A number of publicly traded Canadian forestry companies with significant sawmill divisions, like West Fraser Timber, Resolute Forest Products and Interfor Corporation all set share price records on the Toronto Stock Exchange this month.
In New Brunswick, sawmills have been upping production to meet demand and take advantage of high prices while they last. According to Statistics Canada, New Brunswick sawmills produced 797 thousand cubic metres of softwood lumber cut from spruce, pine and fir trees between November and January, seven percent more than a year earlier.
John Jarvis operates the Home Hardware in Grand Bay - Westfield and said lumber prices have been rising all year from both New Brunswick and out-of-province mills. (Facebook)
In Alberta which ties timber royalties to the market prices of timber products, those record prices have also been generating record amounts of public revenue.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, Alberta reported timber royalties were $111 million over budget, more than double projections because, it said, of "North American lumber prices".
Alberta has raised timber fees and royalties even further in April in response to ongoing price increases in lumber markets.
Spencer said private woodlot owners in New Brunswick, like the province, have received no increases in the price of wood they have been selling to mills this year and believes Alberta's model is something worth adopting for both the province and private sellers.
"They are benefiting from these surges, unlike New Brunswick," said Spencer.
The Grand Bay - Westfield Home Hardware is still selling truckloads of lumber despite record prices, according to John Jarvis (Facebook)
In his budget last month, New Brunswick Finance Minister Ernie Steeves took no action to address royalties and budgeted $65 million in crown timber revenue this year, unchanged from his first two budgets.
Asked why he would not raise more revenue from forest companies cutting on crown land, given the explosion in lumber prices, Steeves said that was an issue handled by the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development.
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm not familiar on that one," Steeves said about timber royalties during CBC's post-budget Political Panel.
No change, says DNR
In an email Monday, a spokesperson for Natural Resources said even though the price of lumber products has doubled and in some cases tripled over the last year, that does not mean trees the lumber comes from are more valuable and deserve higher "stumpage" rates.
"The lumber market reacts to supply and demand factors across Canada and the US," wrote Nick Brown, in explaining why timber royalties in the province are not growing despite record prices for wood..
"The stumpage market, while very complex in its own right, is inherently local, and those prices reflect local demand and supply factors. Because overall stumpage supply has remained generally constant and overall mill capacity has not increased, there has not been a significant increase to the demand or the supply of stumpage locally."
Brown said timber royalties in New Brunswick also do not immediately react when lumber markets fall and suggested the province and private sellers of wood are better off under the current system.
"The Department does not use a similar approach (to Alberta) because timber royalties could result in prices lower than private woodlot owners in the province would be willing to sell their timber," he wrote.
Spencer disputes that and believes private sellers of New Brunswick timber and the province would be better off with prices and royalties that rise and fall in sync with free lumber markets.
"Here we are in New Brunswick with our most abundant natural resource and we're not receiving the financial benefits that other jurisdictions are receiving," said Spencer.
"There should be another way to divide up the economic pie."

wood from New Brunswick's forest product marketing boards as a
condition for access to trees on Crown land.

Jeannot Volpé was minister in the Progressive Conservative government
of Bernard Lord that took office in 1999. (CBC)
The so-called "primary source" rule was abandoned in 1992 but should
be reintroduced on a trial basis, says Volpe, who was minister of
natural resources and energy from 1999 to 2003 in the Bernard Lord
government.
Volpé says a current lawsuit launched by J.D. Irving will only do more
damage to already struggling woodlot groups.
"Going to those courts costs a lot of money," said Volpé. "And for a
marketing board to invest $100,000 in a court case, it's a lot of
money. For a big company who will recover it over cheaper wood
long-term, it's an investment."
Lawsuit filed by J.D. Irving
J.D. Irving has filed a legal action against the SNB Forest Products
Marketing Board and the SNB Wood Co-operative.
The lawsuit asks the Court of Queen's Bench to declare a contract
between the SNB Forest Products Marketing Board and its sister group,
the SNB Wood Cooperative, unlawful.
It is the latest in a series of moves by J.D. Irving to break the hold
New Brunswick's wood marketing boards have over sales from private
woodlots.
At the root of the case is a January 2016 order issued by the
co-operative declaring that wood from private woodlots can only be
sold to the marketing board, and wood purchasers can only buy from the
board.

Jeannot Volpé, a former natural resources minister, says province
should make industry players buy wood from marketing boards before
taking it from Crown land. (CBC)
The dispute dates back decades but the most recent round began in 2012
when J.D. Irving Ltd. stopped signing contracts to buy wood from the
SNB Forest Products Marketing Board.
Along the way, J.D. Irving Ltd. lost appeals to both the New Brunswick
Forest Products Commission and the New Brunswick Court of Appeal.
Despite those setbacks the company continues to contract wood sales
directly with private woodlot owners, rather than with SNB.
It has also filed a second appeal to the Forest Products Commission
arguing that the SNB board's order is not valid.
'It seems like industry's got all the cards.'
- Jeannot Volpé, ex-natural resources minister
Volpé says there have been times in past decades when marketing boards
failed to honour contracts made with the big companies.
But the pendulum, he says, has swung in the other direction.
"Right now it's moved to the other way around where it seems like
industry's got all the cards," said Volpé. "This is for government to
decide and [they] don't seem to be ready to do it."
Irving defends its purchase record
In a written statement J.D. Irving vice-president Jason Limongelli
defended the lawsuit and the company's record of purchasing from
private woodlots.
"This is not a lawsuit against woodlot owners or wood producers," said
Limongelli. "The application is intended to prevent disruption to the
flow of private wood and protect the manner in which wood purchases
have been successfully conducted over the past number of years."
The company's allegations have not been tested in court.

J.D. Irving Ltd. loses private wood appeal
Limongelli goes on to say the company's purchase of private wood has
increased 200 per cent over the past 10 years.
"This year, JDI's private wood and stumpage purchase programs resulted
in a record volume of private wood purchases," said Limongelli.
"The company has purchased 46 per cent more wood than last year, and
are on track for the highest volume of private wood purchases in the
company's history."
J.D. Irving did not respond to a question by CBC News for the
company's position on the role of the forest product marketing boards.
Jean Bertin responded in an email on behalf of the government, which
he said supports "the current practices" for wood flow.
"Private wood harvest levels have steadily increased since 2010 and
continue to flow at high levels in 2016/17. Private woodlot volumes
have returned to similar levels experienced before the economic
downturn in 2007.
"With the current levels of private wood harvesting back to historic
levels, there does not appear to be a market issue."
Bertin said the closure of pulp mills has created an oversupply of
low-grade material in the Atlantic region and the province is looking
to find other uses for low-grade material.

J.D. Irving launches suit against woodlot groups
Legal action follows attempt by SNB board to assert authority over
wood purchases
By Connell Smith, CBC News Posted: Feb 02, 2017 6:30 AM AT
J.D. Irving Ltd. has launched a lawsuit against two groups
representing private woodlot owners in southern New Brunswick.
The outcome could have far-reaching implications for the way private
wood is bought and sold in New Brunswick and the price obtained by
individual woodlot owners.
The lawsuit asks the Court of Queen's Bench to declare a contract
between the SNB Forest Products Marketing Board and its sister group,
the SNB Wood Cooperative, unlawful.
At the root of the case is a 2015 order issued by the co-operative
declaring that wood from private woodlots can only be sold to the
marketing board, and wood purchasers can only buy from the board.
JDI stopped buying wood from SNB in 2012 but has been making deals
directly with woodlot owners within SNB's provincially designated
boundaries.
In its statement of claim, JDI says the SNB marketing board has
unlawfully delegated its powers to the SNB co-operative.
In issuing its order, SNB cited the province's Natural Products Act.
"JDI is directly and adversely affected by the unlawful delegation of
the SNB Board's powers and function to the Co-op," the company says in
its statement of claim.
Allegations not tested in court
The company's allegations have not been tested in court.
Another company, AV Group, with mills in Nackawick and Atholville, has
applied to be an intervener in the case, suggesting the implications
could be felt provincewide.
"It's going to be a challenging few years for the industry," said
Susannah Banks, manager of the New Brunswick Federation of Woodlot
Owners. "There is a move toward more direct contracts with brokers as
opposed to contracts with marketing boards."
Green Party Leader David Coon said woodlot owners are being hurt while
the province fails to enforce its own regulations specifying that a
fixed proportion of wood must be purchased from private woodlots
before Crown wood can be harvested.
"It's a classic case of injustice," said Coon.
"Can you imagine if family farmers were treated this way or lobster
fishermen were treated this way? There would be a revolution in parts
of New Brunswick."
It's an issue New Brunswick's auditor general, Kim MacPherson, waded
into in her 2015 report.
"We have concluded the Department of Natural Resources does not meet
its principal responsibilities under legislation respecting timber
supply from private forest lands," said the report.
"The Department's failure to comply with its own legislation and
provide leadership on private wood supply issues through a
well-defined role and clear objectives contributes to uncertainty for
private woodlot owners and conflicts within the marketing board
system."
Both SNB's general manager, Pam Folkins, and J.D. Irving's Mary Keith
said they cannot comment on the lawsuit because the matter is before
the courts.

Connell Smith Has Details On Windsor Energy Suing Province
The president of Calgary's Windsor Energy is suing the provincial
government and former Natural Resources Minister Bruce Northrup for
over 100 million dollars.

Bruce Northrup seeks appeal of ruling Windsor Energy's testing in
Sussex was legal
Former natural resources minister asking New Brunswick Court of Appeal
to hear appeal of Nov. 3 decision
By Alan White, CBC News Posted: Dec 01, 2016 3:43 PM AT
Former natural resources minister Bruce Northrup is asking New
Brunswick's highest court to hear an appeal of a recent decision that
Windsor Energy Inc.'s seismic testing in Sussex in 2011 was legal.
Northrup is being sued by the oil and gas company and its president,
Khalid Amin, for $105 million in damages for publicly stating the
company violated the provincial Oil and Natural Gas Act by carrying
out seismic testing in Sussex without permission from the
municipality.
However, in a Nov. 3 decision, Court of Queen's Bench Justice Judy
Clendening ruled municipal permission wasn't needed because the
company's permit had the authorization of the provincial
Transportation Department to test within the right-of-way of Highway
1, which runs through Sussex and is where the testing was being
carried out.
Windsor Energy's 2011 seismic testing in Sussex was legal: judge
"It is clear that the plaintiffs did not need prior written consent
from the municipality," Clendening said in her decision.
"The plaintiffs do not require consent unless the testing is carried
out on municipal land."
The word 'or' at issue
Clendening's ruling dealt with the interpretation of Section 17 (1) of
the Oil and Natural Gas Act. It states a company with a permit shall
not work:
Within the bounds of a municipality unless it has the
municipality's consent in writing, or
Within any highway right-of-way without the written consent of the
district transportation engineer.
hi-nb-windsor-energy
Windsor Energy carried out seismic testing in the right-of-way for
Highway 1 in Sussex in 2011 with the authorization of the
transportation department.
Clendening ruled that because of the "or" in the subsection,
permission is needed from either the municipality or the
transportation department, not from both.
Northup's lawyers are now asking the New Brunswick Court of Appeal to
hear an appeal of that decision. They contend Clendenning made errors
in law by:
Failing to read the words of Section 17 (1) of the Oil and Natural
Gas Act "in their grammatical and ordinary sense."
Substituting "on municipal land" for the phrase "within the bounds
of a municipality
Substituting the "New Brunswick Highway Corporation" for the
"district transportation engineer"
Interpreting the word "or" between paragraphs (a) and (b) of the
subsection as being exclusive and prioritizing (b) over (a).
Arguments on Northrup's motion seeking leave to appeal the ruling are
to be heard by a justice of the Court of Appeal on Dec. 12.
Amin not surprised
Windsor Energy Inc. president and CEO Khalid Amin is not surprised
Bruce Northrup is asking for an appeal to be heard of a recent ruling
that his company's seismic testing in Sussex in 2011 was legal. (CBC)
Northrup's request for an appeal to be heard doesn't surprise Amin.
"We certainly expected that," Amin said. "Obviously, I would say
[Clendening's ruling] is detrimental to their defence.
"If we didn't violate the Oil and Natural Gas Act as they allege, he's
gone out of his way to harm Windsor Energy by making statements and
then taking the file to the RCMP.
Bruce Northrup stands by his actions in Windsor Energy dispute
N.B. files RCMP complaint against Windsor Energy
"He was coming after us pretty heavy in the media and that made
national news, not just local New Brunswick news."
The initial lawsuit for defamation, injurious falsehood and
misfeasance in public office also named the provincial government as a
respondent, but Windsor Energy and Amin agreed to drop the province
from the lawsuit after another court ruling found their claims fall
outside the type of claims permitted under the Proceedings Against the
Crown Act.
Amin said dropping the province doesn't change the damages being
sought from Northrup, who was acting as a minister of the Crown.
"That doesn't change at all, but obviously that's up to a judge
ordering a judgment," said Amin.
"There's a lot of room between where we are today and what that would entitle."
The statement of claim in the lawsuit states negative publicity
resulting from the case drove away potential investors, which led to
the company losing its exploration licences.
I know that you people and CBC think I am joke. However I think even
less of you. It seems to me that you people wish forget that you draw
your fancy wages and later collect big pensions sourced from the tax
dollars of my fellow Canadains who you purportedly serve in an ethical
fashion YEA Right just like the old document hereto attached attests..

SUSSEX - GOLD FOUND AND BERNARD LORD'S OPINION!!!!
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.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
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."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.
Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his
favourite possessions—motorcycles.

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."
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 bitch 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."
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.’"

Why Canada Stood Tall!
Friday, October 3, 2014
Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."
http://baconfat53.blogspot.
"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "

Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

Good afternoon Mr. Amos
In response to your recent e-mail, please note:
· I called you on Tuesday morning because you called and left
a voice mail for me on Monday. (I did not call you back right away on
Monday because I was at home helping to look after my daughter, who
came down with chickenpox over the week-end.)
· I am not aware of anyone checking your work on the internet
last Friday.
· I do not know who sent you an anonymous e-mail on Friday.
· I have not contacted the RCMP in this regard.
· I admit that I did not read your email and all its
attachments closely.
· I “presumed” that you “wanted to talk about electronic
filing” during our call yesterday because (a) that is what you
indicated in your voice mail on Monday that you wanted to talk about
(in your voice-mail message of Monday, March 21, you say: “I want to
discuss what I have been researching about electronic filing, and I
see your name in these documents”), and (b) that is what you were
actually talking about on the call yesterday.
· I do not deny my knowledge of your assertion that there is
evidence of your possession of police surveillance wiretap tapes filed
in the Public Record of Federal Court.
Best regards, Andrew

Roger Brown of the Crown Corp known and his CBC buddies
Chucky and everybody else and his dog have speculated about the
reasons behind Bourque's senselss rampage but I took a wide berth of
that madness. I have had nothing say about it just like with my friend
Dick Oland's murder. I was hoping that the truth would come out during
the trials.Now that his son has been denied bail I will say that I too
don't believe that Dennis was Dick's killer. As for young Bourque
nothing excuses what he defintely did. Many people would like to know
what caused him to go off like he did and no doubt legions of members
of the RCMP are curious as well.. but the evil Librano lawyer David
Lutz made certain that the truth will never be known to the chagrin of
many other lawyers..
I heard Cpl Horsmen confess Chucky that he gave his old boss Gary
Forward a fancy new job.

Codiac RCMP officers found not responsible for man's death
Fredericton Police Force investigation says Daniel Levesque, 30, died
as a result of stab wounds CBC News Posted: May 23, 2014 10:51 AM AT
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/
http://www.macleans.ca/news/
June 15, 2014
The untold story of Justin Bourque
by Tamsin McMahon, Michael Friscolanti and Martin Patriquin
“I don’t know what caused this,” Victor Bourque, Justin’s father,
tells Maclean’s. “A gentle soul like him who wouldn’t hurt a fly all
of a sudden flips over, so there’s something there that’s unanswered
and we’ll only find out as time goes along. Everybody will have to be
patient.”
In the meantime, one chilling possibility has emerged: that Bourque
was bent on revenge, seeking supposed “justice” for a dead Moncton
man, Dan Levesque, who was shot four times last July by a pair of RCMP
officers. At a press conference just two weeks before Bourque walked
out of his trailer for the final time, investigators cleared the two
Mounties of any wrongdoing.
At least one of Levesque’s friends seemed convinced that Bourque was
out for revenge that bloody night. “He’s doing this for us I love this
guy,” the friend posted on Facebook, while the drama was still
unfolding. “He’s righting all the wrongs.”
"If the ensuing investigation unearths any connection to Dan
Levesque’s death, May 23 was a critical day. The Fredericton Police
Service, called in to investigate last July’s shooting, held a press
conference that Friday, exonerating the RCMP officers who shot
Levesque. In fact, Insp. Gary Forward said none of the Mounties’ four
bullets struck a vital organ—and that Levesque ultimately died of the
knife wounds he sustained prior to being shot, not the bullets. (Who
stabbed Levesque, and why, is still under investigation.)
The same day as the news conference, Bourque’s mom and dad posted a
quote to their joint Facebook account. “Sometime you have to stop
worrying, wondering, and doubting,” it read. “Have faith that things
will work out, maybe not how you planned, but just how it’s meant to
be.”

Bruce Northrup seeks appeal of ruling Windsor Energy's testing in
Sussex was legal
Former natural resources minister asking New Brunswick Court of Appeal
to hear appeal of Nov. 3 decision
By Alan White, CBC News Posted: Dec 01, 2016 3:43 PM AT
Former natural resources minister Bruce Northrup is asking New
Brunswick's highest court to hear an appeal of a recent decision that
Windsor Energy Inc.'s seismic testing in Sussex in 2011 was legal.
Northrup is being sued by the oil and gas company and its president,
Khalid Amin, for $105 million in damages for publicly stating the
company violated the provincial Oil and Natural Gas Act by carrying
out seismic testing in Sussex without permission from the
municipality.
However, in a Nov. 3 decision, Court of Queen's Bench Justice Judy
Clendening ruled municipal permission wasn't needed because the
company's permit had the authorization of the provincial
Transportation Department to test within the right-of-way of Highway
1, which runs through Sussex and is where the testing was being
carried out.
Windsor Energy's 2011 seismic testing in Sussex was legal: judge
"It is clear that the plaintiffs did not need prior written consent
from the municipality," Clendening said in her decision.
"The plaintiffs do not require consent unless the testing is carried
out on municipal land."
The word 'or' at issue
Clendening's ruling dealt with the interpretation of Section 17 (1) of
the Oil and Natural Gas Act. It states a company with a permit shall
not work:
Within the bounds of a municipality unless it has the
municipality's consent in writing, or
Within any highway right-of-way without the written consent of the
district transportation engineer.
hi-nb-windsor-energy
Windsor Energy carried out seismic testing in the right-of-way for
Highway 1 in Sussex in 2011 with the authorization of the
transportation department.
Clendening ruled that because of the "or" in the subsection,
permission is needed from either the municipality or the
transportation department, not from both.
Northup's lawyers are now asking the New Brunswick Court of Appeal to
hear an appeal of that decision. They contend Clendenning made errors
in law by:
Failing to read the words of Section 17 (1) of the Oil and Natural
Gas Act "in their grammatical and ordinary sense."
Substituting "on municipal land" for the phrase "within the bounds
of a municipality
Substituting the "New Brunswick Highway Corporation" for the
"district transportation engineer"
Interpreting the word "or" between paragraphs (a) and (b) of the
subsection as being exclusive and prioritizing (b) over (a).
Arguments on Northrup's motion seeking leave to appeal the ruling are
to be heard by a justice of the Court of Appeal on Dec. 12.
Amin not surprised
nb-khalid-amin
Windsor Energy Inc. president and CEO Khalid Amin is not surprised
Bruce Northrup is asking for an appeal to be heard of a recent ruling
that his company's seismic testing in Sussex in 2011 was legal. (CBC)
Northrup's request for an appeal to be heard doesn't surprise Amin.
"We certainly expected that," Amin said. "Obviously, I would say
[Clendening's ruling] is detrimental to their defence.
"If we didn't violate the Oil and Natural Gas Act as they allege, he's
gone out of his way to harm Windsor Energy by making statements and
then taking the file to the RCMP.
Bruce Northrup stands by his actions in Windsor Energy dispute
N.B. files RCMP complaint against Windsor Energy
"He was coming after us pretty heavy in the media and that made
national news, not just local New Brunswick news."
The initial lawsuit for defamation, injurious falsehood and
misfeasance in public office also named the provincial government as a
respondent, but Windsor Energy and Amin agreed to drop the province
from the lawsuit after another court ruling found their claims fall
outside the type of claims permitted under the Proceedings Against the
Crown Act.
Amin said dropping the province doesn't change the damages being
sought from Northrup, who was acting as a minister of the Crown.
"That doesn't change at all, but obviously that's up to a judge
ordering a judgment," said Amin.
"There's a lot of room between where we are today and what that would entitle."
The statement of claim in the lawsuit states negative publicity
resulting from the case drove away potential investors, which led to
the company losing its exploration licences.

Sussex mayor denounces seismic testing company
Seismotion official says waiting for council vote would have cost $60,000
CBC News
October 19, 2011
li-nb-seismic-testing-truck
Sussex councillors are upset that seismic testing went ahead in their
town before it was given approval. (CBC)
Sussex Mayor Ralph Carr is denouncing the tactics of a seismic
surveying company as a "monumental" mistake after it pushed ahead with
tests without the town's approval.
The Town of Sussex is now asking Premier David Alward and his
Progressive Conservative government to take action against Seismotion,
which performed tests inside Sussex boundaries on Monday.
"It's a blunder, a big blunder. They should not have done that," Carr said.
"For such a contentious issue and divisive issue that is taking place
in our province, especially southern New Brunswick, they should have
bowed out and said, 'We'll come back or we'll go by you.' Anything,
but do what they did."
Sussex is situated in an area that is believed to be a prime location
for the shale gas industry. But Carr said that some people in his
community are wary of the shale gas industry.
The mayor said the company's actions will make this already divisive
issue even worse in his town.
The Sussex council has sent an unanimous letter to the Alward
government requesting the provincial government take action against
the company.
si-nb-sussex-carr-220
Sussex Mayor Ralph Carr said the company's decision to perform the
testing was a monumental mistake. (CBC)
Sussex mayor’s stern reaction is being reinforced by many of his councillors.
Seismotion originally asked for town approval to do tests within the
community, and councillors arranged the Tuesday meeting just ahead of
the company's scheduled arrival.
But when Seismotion crews found themselves in Sussex two days ahead of
schedule, the company decided not to wait for town consent.
Marc Thorne, the town's deputy mayor, said it's unfortunate the
company pressed ahead with its work despite knowing when the local
council was going to hold its vote.
"They had decided that since the timeframe that they had established
with us wasn't accommodating their accelerated schedule they just went
ahead and did the work. We were angry. We were frustrated," Thorne
said.
"It was done. It was in violation of the act. And there needs to be
consequences," said Coun. Mark Wright.
Coun. Shelley Bradley did not hold back her frustrations when a
Seismotion representative appeared at a council meeting on Tuesday
night.
"When a company goes ahead and does this. Just like completely ignores
the rules, completely just basically says, ‘You know what? Screw you
guys,’" Bradley said.
Alek Dupras, the company's permit agent, said the company has permits
from the departments of Natural Resources and Transportation that
cover testing along highway one even within town limits.
"Waiting for this … meeting represented too much money so they chose
to go forward, understanding they had all the permits necessary for
that," Dupras said.
Seismotion is doing the testing for Windsor Energy.
Mario Levesque, the president of Seismotion, said waiting two days
would have cost $60,000 and he's running out of time to get the work
done. The trucks are going back to Alberta on Oct. 26.
Testing has now moved east between Sussex and Alma.
Latest shale gas controversy
This is the latest controversy in the contentious issue of shale gas
exploration.
Last week, Hampton councillors voted to block seismic testing in town
limits after roughly 70 residents held a peaceful protest.
Hampton is about 40 kilometres southwest of Sussex.
There have been protests across southern New Brunswick against shale
gas exploration and hydro-fracking.
The largest anti-shale gas rally was at the legislature in the summer
when roughly 1,000 protesters amassed in Fredericton.
Alward has said he believes the industry is important to the province,
but he has committed to imposing the toughest standards on the
continent on companies operating in New Brunswick.
He's also said New Brunswickers need to embrace the industry as part
of a new approach to boosting the economy.

Blue Wolf Capital to Acquire Twin Rivers
Blue Wolf Capital Partners today announced an agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Twin Rivers Paper Company, Inc. (“Twin Rivers”) from Brookfield Asset Management Inc. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The transaction is expected to close in approximately three weeks, allowing time for certain procedural requirements. Blue Wolf’s investment will be made in partnership with Atlas Holdings LLC. Both firms have long track records of building forest products companies in North America.
Twin Rivers, with facilities in Edmundston and Plaster Rock, New Brunswick, and Madawaska, Maine, has been a vital economic engine for the region for over 80 years, producing specialty papers and lumber for a variety of markets. Through the acquisition of a controlling stake in Twin Rivers, Blue Wolf and Atlas are showing their commitment to the future of the business and will work with the company in the development of its long-term capital and growth plans.
“Twin Rivers produces specialty papers and lumber products that are well regarded throughout the industry. Our plan is to build on these strengths as we seek to position the operations for long-term success and as a key contributor in the revitalization of the forest products sector in Maine and New Brunswick,” said Adam Blumenthal, Managing Partner of Blue Wolf.
“With the active support, direction and guidance our firms bring, we believe we can provide Twin Rivers with additional resources to address its capital needs, cost structure, market exposure and other critical operational challenges presented by the highly competitive forest products industry,” said Tim Fazio, Managing Partner of Atlas Holdings.
Twin Rivers is a major employer in New Brunswick and northern Maine, and the acquisition was welcomed by a wide variety of constituencies.
“We have a proud history in our forest sector and certainly recognize the strategic importance of the Twin Rivers operation. The local communities and our entire forest sector value the jobs and role that Twin Rivers plays. We are excited to have new partners such as Blue Wolf and Atlas invest in the Province and commit to growing this operation and working with us as we continue to rebuild our economy,” said David Alward, Premier of New Brunswick.
“We welcome Blue Wolf and Atlas to our State,” added Maine Governor Paul LePage. “These investors have a track record of successful change in forest products companies, and we look forward to working with them as they implement their strategy.”
Dave Coles, President of the Canadian Energy and Paperworkers Union, which represents workers at Twin Rivers’ operations in Edmundston and Plaster Rock, New Brunswick said, “We have long represented workers at companies owned by Blue Wolf and Atlas, and we know them to be thoughtful and creative investors who are committed to the industry. We will work with the new ownership to protect jobs and pensions for our active and retired members.”
“We welcome this change of ownership, to a group we know well,” said Jon Geenen, International Vice President of the United Steelworkers, which represents workers at Twin Rivers’ Madawaska, Maine paper mill. “We expect the new owners will be dedicated to ensuring the sustainability of this company into the future.”
Together, Blue Wolf and Atlas have a depth of experience in successfully collaborating with stakeholders to build investee companies into sustainable, highly competitive enterprises in both Canada and the United States – including, Northern Resources Nova Scotia Corporation, a pulp mill located in Pictou, Nova Scotia, and Finch Paper Holdings LLC, an integrated pulp and paper business located in Glens Falls, New York.
“Twin Rivers has been vital to the region’s economy for over 80 years, and we want to ensure it continues to be,” said Blumenthal. “We look forward to working with all stakeholders to create a viable, stable and long-term future for Twin Rivers and the forestry sector in both countries.”

Atlas Holdings Announces $3.1 Billion Close For Fourth Private Equity Fund
Oversubscribed Fund Achieves Hard Cap in "One and Done" Closing
GREENWICH, Conn., March 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlas Holdings LLC ("Atlas") today announced the first and final close of its fourth private equity investment fund, Atlas Capital Resources IV LP ("ACR IV"). Atlas began fundraising in November 2020 and closed ACR IV at its hard cap of $3.1 billion. As of the closing, Atlas manages more than $6.0 billion of capital.
Atlas focuses on control investments in companies experiencing financial or operational stress. In both robust and challenging points in the business cycle, Atlas has demonstrated the ability to identify compelling investment opportunities, surround its companies with great talent, management teams and operational resources and facilitate the transformation of underperforming operations to create value. The multifaceted human and operational challenges caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic illustrated Atlas' distinctive capabilities, honed over several decades. Not only did Atlas' existing portfolio companies perform well amidst unprecedented economic headwinds but Atlas also completed several strategic acquisitions, effectively doubling the total workforce of its companies around the globe to more than 40,000. The Atlas team's deep-rooted experience operating in industries facing distress – and the ability to nimbly complete diligence and to execute in a highly disrupted environment – enabled Atlas to accelerate its growth during this challenging period.
"Atlas has established a well-defined and highly differentiated approach to both investing capital and supporting our existing businesses. That approach has remained constant for decades and has enabled our private equity funds to systematically deliver value to our investors. We are extremely grateful for the continued strong support from our long-standing institutional partners as well as the tremendous demand from a large group of new partners from across the globe," said Andrew Bursky, Atlas' Co-Founder and Managing Partner.
Atlas partners include global foundations, endowment funds, public and private pension funds and family offices.
"When we started Atlas, we never anticipated that it would become what it is today, and we are extremely humbled by the confidence in our team that this fund represents," said Tim Fazio Atlas' Co-Founder and Managing Partner. "Raising a fund nearly double the size of our last is not simply a recognition of our track record as investors and operators. It is an affirmation of the extraordinary people across the world that have consistently put us in a position to win."
"As we look ahead, ACR IV will allow our exceptional team to take the next step in Atlas' evolution and seize exciting new opportunities. While we have grown and will continue to do so, we will stay true to our roots, investing in sectors where we have developed expertise and partnering with our Leadership Teams to create great businesses over the long term," said Atlas Managing Partner Jacob Hudson.
Capstone Partners served as exclusive placement agent for ACR IV and Proskauer Rose LLP provided legal counsel.

Hey
As Harper sits and bullshits his cohorts in the Council of Foreign
Relations in the Big Apple today I bet he was listening to what was
happening with Obama and the IRS and Holder and his DOJ minions
in Washington.
Notice the Inspector General of the IRS Dudes within this old file?
http://www.scribd.com/doc/9092510/Chicago
Everybody and his dog knows Harper knew about my battles with the US
Treasury and Justice Depts way back when he was the boss of the
opposition in Canada's Parliament. Two simple files easily found on
the Internet cannot be argued.
Notice how old the letter and Form 211 are?
http://qslspolitics.blogspot.ca/2008/06/5-years-waiting-on-bank-fraud-payout.html
Here the Inspector Generals calling me 7 years ago?
http://www.archive.org/details/FedsUsTreasuryDeptRcmpEtc
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Office of Chief Counsel, Treasury.
Inspector General for Tax Administration, (202) 622-4068.
When Teddy bitches about polticians using the IRS to attack their
enemies because he knows it true because he helped Bush the IRS
against me when Obama was just a State Senator .
The proof was when I sent him the documents that came along with the letter
found on page 13 of this old file Teddy Baby Olson quit as Solicitor
General.
http://www.checktheevidence.com/pdf/2619437-CROSS-BORDER-txt-.pdf
Harper and every body else knows It was no coincidence that I sent the
lawyers Olson as Solicitior General, Ferguson as the co chair of the
Federal Reserve Bank, and J Strom Thurmond Jr the youngest US
Attorney the same pile of documents on April Fools Day 2004.
The sad but terrible truth is that legions of cops, lawyers polticians
and bureaucrats in Canada and the USA knew about the US Secret Service
coming to my home after dark on April Fools Day 2003 bearing false
allegations of a presidential threat and threatening to use their
implied right to use exta ordinary rendition against me as a non
citizen less than two weeks after the needless War in Iraq began and
no WMD were ever found.
You can bet dimes to dollars i called some Yankee Inspector Generals
(starting with 202 622 4068) and reminded them that I am still alive
and kicking and reminding the world of their malicious incompetence
Veritas Vincit

PS Below you can review some emails I sent you and your Yankee cohorts
such asTeddy Baby Olson before Obama was reelected EH Harper? In truth
I would rather settle in confidence with Obama then sue the Hell out
of the CROWN and the Holy See Trust that the evil old Judge Bastarache
has known why for a very long time.

Filmmaker exposes corporate capture in forestry in N.B.
- Tracy Glynn
- November 6, 2018
Filmmaker Charles Thériault’s passion is observing. His troubling encounter with a young man in the northern rural New Brunswick community of Kedgwick made him turn his camera on the forest. The result: a popular web series documenting decades of forest mismanagement and what he calls “corporate capture” of our forest.
Thériault’s impression that all was fine in New Brunswick’s woods was shattered when he met a 26-year-old man who had tried to commit suicide. The man was $1 million in debt, a debt he had accrued from working as a contractor, cutting wood for J.D. Irving, the largest forestry player in the province. According to Thériault, the contractors are in a perpetual debt cycle of taking out loans to buy new machines.
Thériault spoke with several contractors who had their loans for new machines co-signed by J.D. Irving. These types of systems, in which workers have their financial affairs tied to the company they work for, are ripe for exploitation. “It’s a system of slavery-like control over the workers,” claims Thériault.
About 100 students, professors and others concerned about the state of New Brunswick’s forest filled a room at St. Thomas University (STU) in Fredericton on Oct. 16 to hear Thériault share his story.
STU professor Joan McFarland invited Thériault to speak to her New Brunswick Economy class and the public. “We are using, as class materials, the fascinating 28 videos on his blog, isourforestreallyours.ca. The videos expose the disastrous situation of the Crown forest in New Brunswick. We felt that he would have something important to say. We weren’t disappointed,” says McFarland.
New Brunswick’s land base, which has never been ceded by the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq and Passamoquoddy peoples, is carved out as 50 per cent public land (also known as Crown land), 30 per cent private land and 20 per cent freehold. The New Brunswick government is tasked with managing the public forest in a way that benefits all New Brunswickers but many like Thériault argue that private interests are largely benefiting from forestry practices today.
Forestry has been a main source of jobs and way of life in many rural communities across New Brunswick for generations. The closure of many mills across the province in the early 2000s devastated many forestry-dependent communities. However, as mills closed and people were thrown out of work, wood continued to be cut from New Brunswick’s public forest in record volumes. The Conservation Council of New Brunswick reported that timber harvested from public land reached a record high of 5.4 million cubic metres from 2006 to 2007.
Intensive industrial practices, such as clearcutting and conversion of natural forests into plantations, have also not sat well with people from across the province. In 2015, the Auditor-General of New Brunswick recommended reducing clearcutting on Crown forest. A 2008 survey of public attitudes on Crown forestry management by Nadeau and Beckley noted that participants–from both rural and urban areas of New Brunswick–wanted water protection and biodiversity protection to be the top two forest management priorities. Participants chose jobs as the third priority.
“New Brunswickers do not trust the forest industry to manage Crown Lands.” Episode 5 of Is Our Forest Really Ours. Produced by Charles Thériault.
Thériault, who has travelled the world, producing media for the National Film Board and the Discovery Channel, says that his time spent working inside government when Frank McKenna was the Premier of New Brunswick opened his eyes to “how important decisions were being made in the backroom.” He remarks, “this was not my kind of politics so I left politics for filmmaking.”
Thériault was raised in what he describes as an “Acadian ghetto in Moncton,” Georgetown. He recalls the paved roads and services ending just outside Anglophone Moncton. He eventually settled in the rural northern New Brunswick community of Kedgwick with his wife, Betty St. Pierre, who he says, “taught him how to stand up.” In 2009, St. Pierre organized a petition to stop spraying the forest after she said she and other forestry workers were sprayed.
In a story reported by the NB Media Co-op in 2009, St. Pierre said, “A man reported fish kills along a stream here after the last spraying. It is not normal to do that to the forest. We can’t prove we are sick because of the spraying but cancer and pesticides have been linked. People are starting to question why do so many people in our community, in Northern New Brunswick, have cancer and rare cancers.”
“Where were the journalists?” questions Thériault. “I approached several reporters in the province about these stories of forest mismanagement. I was told that I was too controversial. I spoke the truth. They were too afraid,” says Thériault.
“I knew I had to report on what was happening in our woods because the press was not doing it,” says Thériault. He set out to do what he calls a “social awareness raising experiment.” Supported by the New Brunswick Federation of Woodlot Owners, the filmmaker produced a number of online videos with people who had critical things to say about forestry practices in New Brunswick. The popular videos can be watched online at isourforestreallyours.ca.
Outdated forestry legislation that benefits large industrial interests is a main culprit behind forest mismanagement in the province, according to forestry experts, conservation groups and woodlot owners as reported in the Conservation Council’s 2017 Forest Report Card. However, getting the story of forest mismanagement told has been difficult in a province where J.D. Irving, Ltd. owns a large portion of the media.
The popularity of Thériault’s short videos and NB Media Co-op’s stories on spraying the forest reveal that people are hungry to hear the forest story in New Brunswick from the point of view of the small woodlot owners, forestry workers, scientists and conservationists. “After my first few videos, I started getting contacted by retired Deputy Ministers of Natural Resources who were now free to talk,” notes Thériault.
Don McCrea explains how the 1982 N.B. Crown Land and Forest Act came into being and why he refused to accept the post of Deputy Minister of Natural Resources. Episode 11 of Is Our Forest Really Ours. Produced by Charles Thériault.
Besides J.D. Irving, “other private interests are making tremendous amounts of money from our forest while we, the public, feel the pain,” says Thériault. The Auditor-General’s 2015 report affirms Thériault’s claim: Kim MacPherson’s audit of the Department of Natural Resources finances, from 2009 to 2014, revealed that the province had lost between $7 to 10 million each year on our public forests.
In perhaps his most popular video, Thériault tells the story of how forestry management was redesigned in ways that benefited companies that are associated with Bud Bird and Frank McKenna.
In Episode 9 of Is Our Forest Really Ours, Charles Thériault discusses the involvement of Frank McKenna and Bud Bird in forest management in New Brunswick. Produced by Charles Thériault.
According to Thériault, Bud Bird, a well-known businessman and former Progressive Conservative politician, while Minister of Natural Resources under the Hatfield government, “essentially privatized the Crown forest by dividing the land into ten timber licenses in 1982.”
In response to concerns of woodlot owners, the Crown Lands and Forest Act was amended in 1982 to say that the industry’s primary source of wood fibre had to come from private woodlots. The big players in the forestry industry objected to the new power given to woodlot owners and their marketing boards but Bird was able to console the industry by consolidating 483 parcels of Crown land into ten licenses. Today, only four companies, all large, multinational corporations, control Crown forest. J.D. Irving is the largest Crown forest licensee. Theriault argues, “This system has impoverished New Brunswick.”
Frank McKenna, while Premier of New Brunswick, changed the Act by striking the woodlot owners’ guarantee of primary source of wood supply to the province’s mills. Woodlot owners have been fighting ever since 1992 to have the market advantage returned to them. They say they are not able to compete with cheap Crown wood and they point to the overcutting of the public forest as one symptom of a broken forest management regime.
McKenna and Bird entered again in Thériault’s storytelling of New Brunswick’s forest history. In 2009, Fraser Papers, that owned the mill in Edmundston, filed for bankruptcy protection with the Canadian and American governments so that it could restructure. At the time, Brookfield Asset Management was the majority shareholder of Fraser Papers. McKenna is a long-time board member of Brookfield, a company that denied 450 retired mill workers in Edmundston their full pensions.
The restructuring of Fraser Papers involved splitting the company into two new companies: Acadian Timber and Twin Rivers. Bird is a former board director of Acadian Timber. According to Acadian Timber’s website, today, the company is the “second largest timberland operator in New Brunswick and Maine.” Twin Rivers operates the Edmundston mill and is one of the companies that the Alward government signed a controversial and unprecedented contract with in 2014 that allowed the company to cut an increased amount of wood from their Crown land license every year.
Frustrated by a political system that is captured by corporations, Thériault ran in the last two provincial elections, first as an independent and more recently, in the September 2018 election, as a Green Party candidate for Restigouche West. In that election, he came in second, with 31.5 per cent of the vote.
What is Thériault’s vision for rural New Brunswick? He says that decentralization is needed to restore community involvement. Decentralization involves local decision-making bodies having more power and responsibilities over resources such as the forest as well as health care and other public services. He says rural New Brunswick also needs to grapple with climate change and that resilient forests and food security should be at the top of our collective agendas.

Trust that don't believe one word that Jeannot Volpé has to say on the topic.
Everybody knows that his former politcal boss Bernie Lord promised to
reverse the LIEbrano actions of changing the primary source of wood if
and when he won his first mandate and then the Conservatives NEVER
did.

RE: Blowing the whistle on big banks and corrupt politicians too.
Hey,
Flaherty’s budget looming on the horizon tonight is gonna get the big OK from the Bloc EH? Well a mean old bike mechanic in the Maritimes has been waiting to chuck a wrench in the works of many a crooked beancounter. I just served your offices in hand some of the same material that Andre Arthur MP and Senator Kinsella received before the 39th Parliament began. I am also giving you other material and a political rant that they did not receive. The legal counsel of all the monstrous Canadian banks have shown me their arses, two for a month and three for almost two years. It is high time to boot you bankers out off bed with the corrupt politicians you depend on to cover up wrongs or sue you bastards too. N’est pas?
