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

proposed Energy East pipeline could add new jobs to the communities
inside Fundy Royal, according to Conservative MP Rob Moore. (Dan Riedlhuber/Reuters)
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.

BCE Inc.'s massive radio sell-off that includes 5 radio stations in Maritimes has cased some interesting spin
David Amos October 28, 2023
"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.

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

"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."

The
ONLY Party that will see Energy East become a reality is the

Tall
tale-telling politicos, take heed: You could soon find your claims put

■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

"Our goal is to
enable Canadians to critically engage in political-speak, and to

Don't get me wrong, is Harper the man that will fix everything? No, is Trudeau? No. Mulcair? Nope.
None
of them has the silver bullet to fix things. I am not going to be a
fool and think any of them can. If they did, then sure, I would be
changing my vote. However we know that they don't.
I
stand back and look at who is representing ME and what they HAVE done.
Promises are just that and not worth too much no matter what party its
coming from.
I am just happy I live in a country where I have the freedom to vote whomever I feel like and no one can stop me :)

@East_Coaster;
just ask yourself what voting NDP has done for Acadie-Bathurst! - Yet
they are prepared to vote NDP again thinking that they are punishing the
Liberals when the ones they are punishing is themselves. - Smart voters
vote on the side of the government 99% of the time.

So
by your logic, I should vote Liberal simply because people are guessing
that the PC's wont be in power and as a result if I vote PC my riding
will get nothing?
Guess
some people don't have a good understanding of how government works.
Just because my local MLA isn't a member for the party in power doesn't
mean the riding gets nothing.
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.
Once again, its not about the party, its about who I think it the best person for the job.

Your riding might be out of Luck because there is no place anymore for
conservative ideology as it is now.Good Luck on getting your oily
pipeline because that is why Rob Moore is running there.Smoothing the
way for corporations to extract our resources and making you pay for the
welfare they receive on the backs of New Brunswickers.You should really
listen to CBC MORNINGS on weekdays so you can get caught up on what is
happening in our province and Canada.

Listen to CBC Mornings? What is this? the 1950's?
I get my unbiased news from more pure sources around the world thanks.
What i find so amusing is how offended people get when you don't want to vote their way.
For
the record, I could care less about a pipeline. I am not some blue
collar worker. I have no complaints about the taxes I pay and how the
money is spent and who gets what deals. It makes no difference to me at
all.
If I don't like how things are here, I would just move.

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.

Come
on, Fundy-Royal, vote Liberal for a change. It's not going to hurt you.
But harper sure did for the last 10 years. What has he given to you or
Atlantic Canada? - He despises us and reneged his roots. He included you
when he said that we had a defeatist attitude. - Heave Steve!

The

failed during the 2008 crisis? The federal government went into debt to
save the Ontario auto manufacturing industry, then sold their shares,
once they returned to appropriate value. We have the best trade
arrangements than any other country. How many did the Liberals
negotiate, or end?
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?

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!

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

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

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.
