Grand Manan residents frustrated as military helicopter summoned again for hospital transport

 

Grand Manan residents frustrated as military helicopter summoned again for hospital transport

Ambulance N.B. unable to provide air ambulance service because of weather

A Cormorant helicopter from CFB Greenwood in Nova Scotia was dispatched to the island late Friday afternoon to transport a patient to the Saint John Regional Hospital, according to Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Halifax.

The request for assistance came from Ambulance N.B., which runs an air ambulance service, but was unable to respond because of weather conditions.

"Both ANB's Air Ambulance and Nova Scotia's EHS LifeFlight were available but unable to fly to Grand Manan and/or Saint John due to weather limitations which prohibited the use of either plane," Christianna Williston, an Ambulance N.B. spokesperson, said in an email.

This marks at least the second time a military helicopter has been called in to transport a patient since Atlantic Charters, the Grand Manan-based company that usually provides air ambulance services on the island, was forced to ground the service last year due to contract issues.

Transport Canada rule changes require Atlantic Charters to increase their pilot fleet to continue providing the service.

Ambulance N.B. and Atlantic Charters have been negotiating a new contract to save the service, while the province has sought an exemption from Transport Canada.

Williston said "discussions related to air ambulance needs in Grand Manan are ongoing."

CBC News has reached out to Atlantic Charters and the province, but has not received a response.

'Frustrating'

Bill Burns got a close-up view of the helicopter when it landed on the road next to his house in Pettes Cove.

Burns said he didn't have any information on the emergency requiring medical evacuation, or why the helicopter had to land on the road instead of the nearby airport.

But he said there's growing concern on the island about the lack of an on-island medevac service.

The ferry to the mainland takes a couple of hours, and that's if it's running when an emergency happens.

Meanwhile, any effort to get off the island in an emergency now means an aircraft has to fly to the island first, which takes more time than just having a plane ready to go.

"It's frustrating for people here in the community when we got our own air ambulance service here sitting on the ground that's more than willing to do it," said Burns.

Burns said the issues with medevac are even harder to take considering what else the island has lost recently.

"They lost their bank, they lost … a lot of stuff here the last little while," said Burns. 

"It's like every time we turn around we're losing something."

Methinks anyone on Grand Manan who is reading this should ask their Mayor, the former Attorney General Andrea Anderson Mason and their pal John Williamson how I tried to help the Island Folks with their concerns over fish, booze, lock downs, banks and the air ambulance. Nobody cared so why should I N'esy Pas?

Issue is that grand Manan needs the federal government to provide an exemption to Atlantic charters to once again provide air ambulance service on the island. To give them credit the provincial government
is trying to get that exemption, but out of touch Ottawa is just not concerned about places like Grand Manan. Is this really who we want our province to give greater control over healthcare to? To
bureaucrats in Ottawa who can’t even find places like Grand Manan on a map?

The government is not in business no matter how many times Higgy call us his "Clients"

FYI when I was in business I never advertised because in the Maritimes word of mouth is everything. I spent lots of money fixing things that the folks were not entitled under warranty and made sure they knew it. It worked like a charm.

One time my supplier ordered advertising with the Irving newsrag on my behalf because I had a huge amount of unused credit on their books and it would not cost me much to pay my share. I strongly disagreed. The Irvings sent bill collectors then lawyers after me when I refused to pay them. When I replied to the court that we had no contract either expressed or implied the Irving lawyers went away.

Need I say that I am honoured that Higgy did not buy his motorcycles from me?

Good, but Higgs is hinting that he might agree to the deal with Trudeau and part of that is sharing our health data with Ottawa. No amount of money is worth that because even PP is saying if he becomes PM, he won’t reverse that need to share health data with the federal government in exchange for funding. It’s a major overstep on provincial autonomy and authority and one that the people of this
province were never consulted on. It appears to be irreversible, even under near term federal governments that are not the current one.

One of the quintessential trade offs people make, live in an urban center and have relative easy access to services. The trade off for these folks, is, it is more expensive, it is noisier, there is congestion, and you don't look out the front or back to to see mother nature in all her beauty and fury. As at 2021 81% of the population in the country is in urban center's.

For others they chose the rural approach to life, which also comes with trade offs. Many services not comparable to those in urban centers, far more exposed to the swings of mother nature.

The challenge historically and today, the cost of the services in rural areas is far higher than in urban areas. We see examples of this in health care, delivery of electricity/ internet / cell service. Even banking services.

Good example of why healthcare should be being decentralized. Healthcare used to be administered by counties in NB and was taken over by the province. Instead of having the federal government take it
over, we should be decentralizing it back to the county level once again.


Michael Cain
Mario Kart  
The feds are not taking anything over; all they want is the provinces to show where the money is being spent. There should be a national committee of health experts, advising the provinces and providing direction to achieve common results. Minister Duclos is attempting to do that with provincial health ministers.

How one province made improvements should be shared with others. Resources could also be shared, as is supposed to be happening in the Atlantic accord.

I should be able to get the same level of health care anywhere in Canada.

Politicians need to keep out of it.

 Infoway

In September 2000, Canada’s First Ministers agreed to work together to strengthen a Canada-wide health infostructure to improve quality, access and timeliness of health care for Canadians. They also committed to develop electronic health records (EHRs), enhance the use of enabling technologies like telehealth, and work collaboratively to develop common data standards to ensure the compatibility of health information.

In October 2000, the Government of Canada announced its intention to help establish Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) as an independent, not-for-profit corporation with an initial investment of $500 million. On January 22, 2001, Infoway was incorporated by Letters Patent and it began active operations on March 21, 2001.

Even if Charlotte County administered its own healthcare, they wouldn't be putting a tertiary care hospital comparable to the Saint John Regional on Grand Manan. Patients would still have to be taken to the mainland by air, and it would still be preferable to have a plane stationed on Grand Manan to do this.

Yes it would still be preferable to have a plane stationed there to do that. I’m thinking of healthcare we’re at the county level then it would be more likely to be the case. As the federal government

It makes no sense to have SAR Techs in the military when the Canadian Forces has no Combat SAR capability.

 The provincial government giving away any control over healthcare to the federal government in exchange for money would be like having the CEO of a multibillion dollar corporation taking control of your store’s scheduling from the store manager. This isn’t good for NB, it’s a sell out and one that we were never consulted on and quite frankly that we don’t even know all the details and fine print about. Is the premier going to educate us about what this means before he signs away control and autonomy over healthcare to Ottawa?

Are people who don’t like Higgs/likeTrudeau going to be happy with this change if it becomes Holt/Poilievre? It’s so very disappointing to see the way people have turned on their loyalty to our province just because they don’t like the current premier. It’s very short sighted!

Furthermore, local autonomy that has been eroded and given away over the decades remains given away long after whatever premier somebody liked it didn’t like has gone away. It is always better to have local control over things. The more local, the bigger voice and say you have. When healthcare is 100% provincial despite some federal funding, you have 1 in 800,000 say over it. When it’s federal (which is what’s being attempted here) you have a 1 in

38 000 000 say over it. Do you really think somebody who votes in Vancouver is going to care about issues in Bathurst, or Fredericton, or Grand Manan as much as people in Campbellton, or St Stephen, or Saint John will? We are absolutely insane to allow one inch of federal encroachment onto healthcare. It should be being further decentralized if anything.

Lobster company fills in inter-tidal zone off Grand Manan property

Aqua Best expansion plans on hold while province and federal governments review the case

Aqua Best buys lobsters from Grand Manan fishermen and operates a tank-house, a land-based lobster storage facility, on the island. 

Documents shared with CBC show the company also leases inter-tidal land for a lobster holding pound, essentially a pen on the sea floor in the zone between the low and high tide area, in Woodward's Cove.

Photos show the pound area was extensively filled in starting in the fall of 2018 with heavy rock to create a pad for the expansion.

A couple of  photos found on Facebook show New Brunswick Southwest MP, John Williamson standing on the filled in area in July of 2019.

Williamson tagged the photos: "Looking at Aqua Best's expansion plans on Grand Manan."

Williamson could not be reached Tuesday for comment.

Frank Longstaff owns an adjacent property in the cove.

He said the company is preparing to build on provincial government land it leases under very specific conditions.

Frank Longstaff owns a property on Woodwards Cove adjacent to where Aqua Best has been infilling the inter-tidal zone. (Connell Smith, CBC)

"The lobster pound is governed by a lease the company took out with the province," said Longstaff. "And one of the terms of the lease is that it is to be used as a lobster pound solely. And so to fill it in is a breach of that term, certainly to build something on it is a breach of that term."

Longstaff said he's not sure how the company can even be issued a building permit for the site because it doesn't have title to the land. 

Reached by CBC, Jimmy Lam, Aqua Best's manager of Canadian Operations said he had no comment and is waiting for word from the federal and provincial governments before determining if the work can proceed.

Grand Manan Mayor Dennis Greene said the issue does not directly involve the village and is before the two other levels of government. 

"There's quite a few jobs that's involved there and they have great plans for the future and we'd like to see it proceed," said Greene. "But, again, it's a provincial and federal matter."

Longstaff said he understands the importance of the lobster industry to the island's economy.

But he's concerned that if the company is allowed to go ahead with expansion of the tank house after constructing the pad on land it doesn't own it would set a dangerous precedent for other coastal areas in the province.

He says neighbours were not notified about plans for construction on the site and there have been no public notices about destruction of fish habitat in the inter-tidal zone.

in a brief statement a spokesperson for New Brunswick's Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries confirmed a stop work order was issued after the infill was discovered in the Aqua Best case. The statement said the department is working with "federal counterparts" on the file.

A spokesperson said the Department of Fisheries and Oceans could not immediately comment on the case Tuesday

Andrea Anderson Mason, elected MLA for Fundy the Isles in 2018, could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Are you folks aware that the articles published by the Kings County
Record when I ran in the election of the 38th Parliament are recorded
in the Library of Parliament, some court dockets and several blogs as
well?  If you have not read the ancient history published by the
Irving Clan you will find them at the bottom of this email.

This email is largely about YouTube videos because most folks hate to
take too much time out of their day to read much but they may listen
to their smart phones while doing something else if it is not too
boring.

However there are a few articles within the CBC that I am mentioning
the election in Fundy Royal right now. Some of you may wish to dispute
my words before the comment sections close.


I must say the news in CBC about CBC suing the Conservative Party was
kinda special but they offer no comment section at obviously for
political not legal  reasons.

However Mr Dressup putting on a bulletproof vest and having RCMP tough

stop his downhill slide from power has cause quite a stir.  Then when
he slammed the NDP and the Bloc who are actually saying they would
side with him to form a coalition government things went of the rail

Methinks nobody should be surprised to see that Rogers TV had clipped
the last half hour of their recording of a debate for the seat in
Fundy Royal held in Sussex NB on October 8th when they finally posted
within their channel YouTube. I have no doubt whatsoever the editing
was done so that folks who did not attend the debate would have no
idea what was said. Some folks woe were there that night have agreed
that the things that were said about issues pertaining to Veterans,
Climate Change and Pro Life was too much for the lawyer Rob Moore and
the liberal incumbent to deal with so they said nothing at all. Their
silence was a telling thing indeed N'esy Pas?

running in Fundy Royal again N'esy Pas?

 It is a small wonder that the BLOC and the NDP are gaining steam. In
a nutshell its blatantly obvious that many Canadians are sick and
tired of the usual political bullshit. More importantly many are
reacting like the Yankees did when they elected the wacko named Trump.
If there ever was a time for Fundy Royal to elect someone other than a
Conservative or a Liberal the time is NOW.

 I used to suggest that folks vote for the NDP but now I suggest that
they vote for me.

Reply to @Robert Paul: The Fat Lady ain't sung at the Circus yet and I
get to play my part at the circus with one of clowns working for
Harper 2.0. There will be a debate in Hampton on October 17th for the
seat in Fundy Royal. Folks can't deny that this is the 3rd I have run
against the lawyer Rob Moore. The last time was the Minister who
oversaw ACOA and then became the "Shadow Cabinet Minister" for the
Conservatives after the folks booted them all out their seats in the
last election

Methinks many would agree that the liberals did not win the last
election. The fact is that the majority of Canadians wanted to make
certain that the Conservatives and the NDP lost and while Trudeau
conned a lot of folks with his promises of electoral reform. Now its
the liberals turn to learn lesson about the Maritimers Harper called
defeatists Many of us still don't smoke dope be it legal or not N'esy
Pas?

Doing my part to vote PM Trudeau out of office. "Everything that has a

current liberal government.

David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Neo Caleb Anderson: Thanks to Mr Prime Minister Trudeau The
Younger Donald Sutherland and I can finally vote too.

Methinks many folks know I am doing my part as an Independent in Fundy
Royal running against all the political parties for blatantly obvious
reasons for the 7th time I used to suggest that folks vote for the NDP
but now I say vote for me N'esy Pas?


Now back to efforts to expose the rampant public corruption within the
cyber world called Social Media


In the real world the awful truth I must confess that even if  I could
succeed in convincing every person I debated in front of in this
election to vote for me and I would stand a snowball's chance in hell
of getting elected in light of the fact that the corporate media won't
even mention the fact that I exist. Well guess who is blogging then
tweeting about this email? Simple Google my name go to my Twitter
account and you will find this email in its entirety with one of my
blogs.

As Dante once wrote sometimes from a small spark there came burst a
mighty flame and nearly everybody knows somebody with a smart phone
with a link to Facebook etc correct? Well we have a whole week before
the Fat Lady sings about the current circus commonly known as a
federal election..

Dear Candidates,

We at the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce are hosting a Meet the

The evening is *Thursday, October 17th from 6:30pm to 9:00pm*.

We would really appreciate if you could attend this event. When I receive

If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me.

Terry Seguin of CBC announced recently that only people with a
national leader could speak on his political panels. WOW I wonder if
he would dare announce such a thing if the lawyer Jody Wilson Raybould
or her gal pal Jane Philpott were running in the area.

Trust that there is an interesting circus coming to Hampton on Oct
17th exactly 4 years to the day that CBC published this VERY  partisan

Need I say that I don't believe the bullshit I heard this weekend as
to why Rogers TV edited the recording of our debate on Oct 8th. Their
many other YOUTUBE videos easily prove that they do not need releases
to publish what was said and done in PUBLIC. Nobody does.  I sincerely
believe the video of our debate was edited for VERY partisan political
reasons not legal reasons. No doubt some folks recall my recording
what was said. Now they know why.  Lets just call this an email about
YouTube from the past

Dear Mr. Amos,

Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off
over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I
was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.

As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.

As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
policing in Petitcodiac, NB.

It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Warren McBeath, Cpl.

Hello Lisa,
David Amos asked me to contact you. I met him last June after he became an
independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our
federal election
that was held June 28.

He was a candidate in our constituency of Fundy (now called Fundy-Royal).

I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates.

That story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story,
written by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report
on the candidates' debate held June 18.

As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election.The winner
got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358.

I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo taken by
reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo
that ran, but
 this one is very similar.

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 each others’ 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 need a 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.

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.’"


Thats some interesting history about Fundy Royal you don't see everyday EH?
