Fundy Royal campaign targets middle class with focus on jobs

Fundy Royal campaign targets middle class with focus on jobs

Fundy Royal voters have elected Conservatives all but 1 time in 28 elections over 101 years

Candidates running in Fundy Royal are appealing to the middle class in the typically Tory-dominant riding, with a focus on jobs and the economy.

The Conservatives have strong roots in the southern New Brunswick riding — this area has given its support to the Conservatives in every election for the past century, save for 1993, when Liberal Paul Zed won office.

In 2011, Conservative incumbent Rob Moore captured nearly 60 per cent of the vote.

Moore said he hopes the party's record, with its focus on the economy and direct benefits to people, will earn him another term in office.

The Tory incumbent pointed to programs, such as the Universal Childcare Benefit, as well as family income splitting and pension income splitting, that has left more money in the pockets of Canadians.

But, he said, he has also delivered on bringing federal cash to his ridinng.

Moore says the biggest question he's heard at the door is how the next government will move the regions's economy forward.

He says the answer lies in TransCanada Corp.'s proposed Energy East pipeline.

"The [Irving Oil] refinery is employing many people in our region, there's a lot of spinoff benefits, and if we can bring that resource from Alberta to New Brunswick to be refined and sold from our port, that is a great economic opportunity," said Moore.

Liberals focus on seniors, middle class

The Liberals are trying hard to knock off the Tories. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has already appeared in Sussex, the largest community in the riding.

Liberal candidate Alaina Lockhart said she is trying to appeal her campaign to the middle class.

"That's the majority of Fundy Royal," said Lockhart, who has owned Lockhart's Weddings and Special Occasions Inc. since 2004.

"People working everyday to make ends meet and the fact that we have a national campaign focused on strengthening the middle class to put more money in their pockets to then stimulate the economy, I'm encouraged by that," she said.

Lockhart says her party's focus on seniors through initiatives like affordable housing, strengthening the Canada Pension Plan and guaranteed income supplement would benefit the region.

"They worked hard their whole lives and we need to make sure they have secure retirements," she said.

Hopeful for change

NDP candidate Jennifer McKenzie says she's sensing an eagerness for change in the large riding.

McKenzie, an electrical engineer living in St. Martins, threw her name in after becoming "discouraged and disillusioned by the current government."

People want our youth back, we want to have reasons to stay here.
- NDP candidate Jennifer McKenzie

The region has lost a lot of its youth because of the Harper government's lack of focus on the economy, she said.

" be part of the economy and have jobs," she asid.

"The current government's focus on the prairie provinces in the oil and gas industry left New Brunswick and the Atlantic provinces neglected, and we actually had a three year recession here."

McKenzie says the NDP's focus on small business would better serve the area's economy.

"Our agricultural industry should be flourishing, we have to make sure we protect the family farm, there's fishing, forestry, I'm proud of our tourism initiatives, so much is a good fit to the NDP," she said.

Lost youth

The proposed Energy East pipeline is popular in many parts of the southern New Brunswick riding, but the Green candidate said it is the wrong way to attract investment.

Stephanie Coburn, the Green Party candidate for Fundy Royal, says the promise of 14,000 direct and indirect full-time jobs across Canada is "hugely exaggerated."

"The pipeline is a bad idea for people locally and we heard about the pipeline spills in northern Alberta and Michigan, and that ... oil they hope to bring in through the pipeline is impossible to cleanup," Coburn said.

"It's a bad idea nationally because it's all going to be exported … And it's going to contribute so much to the greenhouse gases we're trying to avoid to the globe, and exacerbate global warming terribly."

Coburn says she has heard encouragement for her party at the door, a big turnaround from when she first stepped into the political arena in 2010.

"Now I feel I'm finally not talking into the wind as I have been a long time about environmental issues," said Coburn.

"People are aware of the environmental problems we experience, and we're going to experience if we don't make some changes. That's a positive change from when I first ran."

Fundy Royal contains parts of the counties of Albert, Kings, Queens, Saint John and Westmorland and includes St. Martins, Salisbury, Sussex and Petitcodiac, as well as part of Quispamsis.

"Conservative Rob Moore has recaptured the seat of Fundy Royal after a rematch of his 2015 battle with Liberal incumbent Alaina Lockhart.

Moore held the riding from 2004 until 2015 when he was defeated by Lockhart as part of the red wave that swept over Atlantic Canada that election.

Moore told Global News that he welcomed the chance to once again represent the people of the riding.

“I’m honoured to have been given a mandate of representing the people of Fundy Royal,” he said. “It’s not something I take lightly and I’m looking forward to it.”

Moore said he felt that the policies of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government did not sit well with the residents of the rural New Brunswick riding.

“Issues like the carbon tax have not gone over well here,” he said. “Affordability is a big issue and our platform and our record addressed that concern.”

With the exception of Lockhart’s win, the riding has long been considered a reliable Conservative district for the past 100 years.

Only Liberal Paul Zed’s win in 1993 interrupted the Tories’ dominance in the riding.

New Brunswick premier Blaine Higgs was on-hand to congratulate Moore’s win and said he was overjoyed to see Fundy Royal return to a Conservative riding.

“If you go back in history, you see this riding was pretty traditional as a PC riding, so I think it’s coming back to its roots and Rob was certainly a representative that’s worthy of support, and only got stalled last time around because of that wave coming through,” said Higgs."

Health care is another important topic for middle class. Together Natalie and Linda represents more than 700,000 public health care workers and their message to all Canadians is to vote Anything But Conservative party (ABC). Watch their video at https://youtu.be/o8I71SHP3MQ

Both Natalie and Linda have a very clear position. Their message to all Canadians is to vote ABC (Anything But Conservative party).

They both express serious concerns about the Harper/Conservative Party having the WORST record with facilitating the Canadian public health care; The serious negative effects of the secret TPP deal; The high cost of prescription drugs.

Linda Silas is President of the Canadians Federation of Nurses Unions. Which represents more than half a million people in its network.

Natalie Mehra is the Director of the Ontario Health Coalition. Which represents nearly 200,000 nurses in the country.

BTW Rob Moore and I know the truth about Randy Quaid's questionable arrests in Canada and the USA. More importantly so does Randy I know that for a fact.


"I never worried about being found guilty or any of that for any of these charges because I know the truth, and I know the facts are going to come out at some point, and today was a good sign of that," Randy Quaid said


"Quaid and his wife Evi, a Canadian citizen, have been living in Montreal since February 2013."

"Robert Gervais, an official with the Immigration and Refugee Board, confirmed in an email to CBC News that a detention review hearing for Quaid is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

But the reason for the actor's arrest is unclear.

Quaid, 64, was detained Tuesday morning after attending a regular check-in with CBSA officials in downtown Montreal.

Quaid's lawyer, Mark Gruszczynski, declined to shed light on the affair or to reveal the reason for Quaid's arrest."

Do ya think the lawyer Rob Moore "The True Conservative" or any of the others would dare to debate me in writing with their true name within a website funded by the taxpayer and controlled by questionable public servants? How about outside the CROWN"s domain within the Yankee website called Twitter? That is where I play very serious Political Hard Ball.

It's the Trudeau / Liberal philosophy of big centralized government that has bled this region of it's industry and economy.

How many times over the last fifty years have we seen our businesses moved or pushed out of Southern New Brunswick because of some central Canadian decision making?

The ONLY Party that will see Energy East become a reality is the Conservatives. And make no mistake; Energy East is our last best chance to keep our region from drying up entirely.

Our economy cannot run on Tim Horton's franchises and retirement homes.

Only real industrial growth will bring life and jobs back to the Saint John area. And that will only happen with the Conservative Party at the helm.

I really think you believe that, because you are a Liberal supporter and are prone to fiction and hysteria.

Trudeau doesn't support Energy East any more than the NDP. He, in true Liberal fashion is straddling the fence, being as non-committal as possible, riding the media driven wave of anti-Harper rhetoric.

Vote like a lemming if you chose. There are no laws in the Country against stupidity. But remember, I will be reminding you over the next few years of just how monumentally naive you all were to fall for this sock puppet.

Oh, and be a part of the 'TEAM'?

Tall tale-telling politicos, take heed: You could soon find your claims put through the truth grinder by the folks at FactsCan, a newly launched website that aims to provide an independent, non-partisan fact-checking service during the upcoming federal election.

■FactsCan website

According to co-founder Dana Wagner, who also works as a researcher at Ryerson University in Toronto, the team behind the site wants to help voters "separate out the truth from spin, distortion, omission, error and lies."

"Our goal is to enable Canadians to critically engage in political-speak, and to encourage politicians to be honest and accurate with their words," she told CBC News via email.

Unlike many countries, she noted, Canada does not have a major fact-checking outlet — and FactsCan is hoping to change that before the next election.

I am voting for the person that best represents me and my needs, not necessarily he party.

I look at the 4 candidates in my riding. Who best represents me? the NDP and Liberal candidates have no experience and I don't feel they have what it takes to do what this riding needs. Green party, well, lets just not waste our time there.

I feel Rob Moore has what it takes and has done a lot for members of the riding and has held point positions in Ottawa that brought some great things to the country as a whole. Have the others? no.

All Rob Moore has ever done for this riding is collect a paycheck. Fundy Royal has been conservative for over 50 years because it is filled with people who vote based on tradition and not logic. The only thing Moore ever did was cry to Harper about Trudeau's speaking engagement at that charity in Saint John which was not even in his riding! For a reward, Harper made him head of ACOA. Is this type of pandering political reward system is common with the Harpercrites, but the people don't seem to care here. I love living where I am, but am embarrassed at how biased the voters are.

TRUDEAU wants to take CANADA in DEBT, to pay for infrastructure. Do you remember SAINT JOHN HARBOUR BRIDGE? DO you remember the MONTREAL BASED companies, and their shell game involving BANKRUPTCY, and insurance? How many permanent jobs did that create?

@fundyscott Seems like you are happy that the Brits, who are in a mess themselves, are patting Canadians on the back for a job well done. It's like my buddy, who is $50 k in debt, praising me for practising good money management because I am only making minimum payment on a $ 50 k credit card bill. David Cameron, Old Etonian, has run the NHS into the ground, Home Office has turned into a 'for-profit' business, changes to pensions, funding cuts for inner city programmes and the list goes on and on. Cameron, like Harper, cares only about the rich. Cameron did bucket and spade holiday in Cornwall when he was campaigning, trying to show how he could connect with ordinary Brits. Then, several weeks later, he went to Portugal (somewhere in Europe) for his 'real' family holiday, renting yatch for 000s quids per night. If you are poor, not Harper's/Conservative's problem! Britain giving Canada thumbs up means nothing here. Canada is a great country but I can't recognize it anymore. Rob Moore doesn't deserve another term!

The younger generation have been leaving the Maritimes and going West for years. This has nothing to do with the Harper Government......Even my Grandmother's family from the 1800's all headed west for opportunity....some stayed, some returned to the Maritimes.

All Clichés...

What are the candidates going to do for the people who voted them into office?

Will they vote against their party if it is not good for their riding?

This goes to all candidates in all ridings...

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

@David Amos FYI

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/factscan-plans-to-test-political-claims-during-election-1.2951761

Tall tale-telling politicos, take heed: You could soon find your claims put through the truth grinder by the folks at FactsCan, a newly launched website that aims to provide an independent, non-partisan fact-checking service during the upcoming federal election.
■FactsCan website

According to co-founder Dana Wagner, who also works as a researcher at Ryerson University in Toronto, the team behind the site wants to help voters "separate out the truth from spin, distortion, omission, error and lies."

"Our goal is to enable Canadians to critically engage in political-speak, and to encourage politicians to be honest and accurate with their words," she told CBC News via email.

Unlike many countries, she noted, Canada does not have a major fact-checking outlet — and FactsCan is hoping to change that before the next election.

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

I must Say I am rather impressed at CBC's sudden fit of Integrity to allow my posts to stand the test of time for a few hours at least. (: Rest assured that I have been saving digital snapshots just in case they delete and block me as usual :)

In return here is an old scoop about CTV that CBC and everybody else and his dog has been ignoring for 11 very long years after I ran in the election of the 38th Parliament against the aptly named lawyer Rob Moore.

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

Anybody bother to notice I am the only person posting here with a real name and it is the same name that is on the ballot in Fundy Royal?

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

BTW Rob Moore and I know the truth about Randy Quaid's questionable arrests in Canada and the USA. More importantly so does Randy I know that for a fact.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/randy-quaid-release-jail-vermont-1.3274216

"I never worried about being found guilty or any of that for any of these charges because I know the truth, and I know the facts are going to come out at some point, and today was a good sign of that," Randy Quaid said

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/randy-quaid-court-appearance-1.3262238

"Quaid and his wife Evi, a Canadian citizen, have been living in Montreal since February 2013."

"Robert Gervais, an official with the Immigration and Refugee Board, confirmed in an email to CBC News that a detention review hearing for Quaid is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

But the reason for the actor's arrest is unclear.

Quaid, 64, was detained Tuesday morning after attending a regular check-in with CBSA officials in downtown Montreal.

Quaid's lawyer, Mark Gruszczynski, declined to shed light on the affair or to reveal the reason for Quaid's arrest."

Health care is another important topic for middle class. Together Natalie and Linda represents more than 700,000 public health care workers and their message to all Canadians is to vote Anything But Conservative party (ABC). Watch their video at https://youtu.be/o8I71SHP3MQ

Both Natalie and Linda have a very clear position. Their message to all Canadians is to vote ABC (Anything But Conservative party).

They both express serious concerns about the Harper/Conservative Party having the WORST record with facilitating the Canadian public health care; The serious negative effects of the secret TPP deal; The high cost of prescription drugs.

Linda Silas is President of the Canadians Federation of Nurses Unions. Which represents more than half a million people in its network.

Natalie Mehra is the Director of the Ontario Health Coalition. Which represents nearly 200,000 nurses in the country.
