Three New Brunswick programs will get a share of the $8 million the federal government announced Friday for substance use and additions projects in Atlantic Canada.

Moncton-Dieppe MP Ginette Petitpas Taylor, who made the announcement in Moncton, said the government takes a holistic approach to addressing help for addictions.

“Prevention, treatment, harm-reduction measures all have a role to play," she said. "It's not that we have one single solution."

In Moncton, the Young Women's Christian Association of Moncton will get more than $540,000 for its Pathways program helping women and gender-diverse people succeed in long-term sobriety, she said.

Two Moncton groups to get federal money to fight against overdose crisis

Duration 1:24

 

Ensemble’s HOPE program and the YWCA’s Pathways program will each receive more than $500,000 from the federal government.

Ensemble, will receive more; than $520,000 for its project HOPE, which stands for "helping overlooked persons excel."

The program provides information sessions and group activities to people who have experienced or are currently using substances. The group will use the money for on-site counselling and a nurse practitioner, Petitpas-Taylo said. 

The overdose crisis “continues to be having devastating impacts across our country and southeastern New Brunswick is no exception,” she said.

“There is no one-size-fits-all and I think everyone in this room certainly knows that and solving the overdose crisis. We truly need to have all hands on deck and using all of the measures that we have at our disposal.”

Michèle Nadeau, CEO of YWCA Moncton was grateful for the funding.

“From supportive housing and child care to youth and wellness and employment programs, we work every day to ensure that our community members have access to safety, stability and opportunity,” she said.

Overdose calls are at a record high, Nadeau said. 

“Behind every one of those calls is a person, a mother, daughter, friend or neighbour trying to survive, to recover, to rebuild.”

She said women in the HOPE program join cohort groups, where they explore topics such as healing from trauma and grief, building healthy relationships, financial literacy and parenting. 

“These supports, simple as they may seem, can be a big difference between giving up and showing up,” Nadeau said. 

In Saint John, the Sophia Recovery Centre in Saint John will $20,000 for its substance use programs for woman in the city, Quispamsis and St. Stephen.

Elsewhere in the region, programs getting some of the money announced Friday are Bell Island Support Network in Wabana, N.L., Stella's Circle Community Services in St. John’s, Ally Centre of Cape Breton in Sydney, the Nova Scotia Health Authority, and two projects under Health P.E.I.

Moncton-area police board chair resigns amid contentious budget debate

Don Moore says he had become a 'distraction'

The chair of the civilian board overseeing Codiac Regional RCMP resigned from the role Monday evening.

Don Moore announced the decision after presenting the Codiac Regional Policing Authority's contentious 2026 budget to Moncton city council.

"Over the past several weeks, public discussion around the CRPA — including our budget process, officer resourcing, and recent commentary regarding my role as chair — has, in my view, begun to overshadow the real purpose of the police authority," Moore said, reading from a prepared statement.

While Moore is resigning from the chair position, he said he will remain as a board member until his term ends in January 2027.

The development capped a series of council meetings over the past month where Moore faced questions over the board's budget process, governance and transparency. After the board approves a budget, it goes to Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview councils to include as part of their municipal budgets.

The policing authority board approved a 2026 budget in a 5-4 vote in September. The $66.5-million budget would add 15 Mounties to bring the force policing the three communities to 188 officers.

• Apology issued over policing budget vote

• Investigation of policing board sought over alleged interference

That's despite motions earlier in the year by the three municipal councils saying they won't approve staffing increases without more crime data showing the impact of adding 17 officers this year. That data has yet to be gathered.

The way the vote unfolded also became contentious. Riverview Coun. John Coughlan, who has been on the board for almost a decade, was told his appointment had yet to be renewed and was unable to vote. Coughlan hasn't said how he may have voted, and previously declined to comment.

It led to Riverview council members calling the board vote invalid and demanding an apology. Moore issued an apology last week.

Minister reviewing investigation request

Last week, a board member asked the province's public safety minister to investigate "concerns of political and procedural interference" within the policing authority.

The specific details of the allegations and which board member made the request have not been made public.

Public Safety Minister Robert Gauvin told reporters at an announcement in Shediac, N.B., on Monday that he has received the request.

"We're taking this very seriously," Gauvin said, adding there's currently no investigation underway.

Moore's announcement capped nearly an hour of questions about the 2026 budget from Moncton council, including why it came with no supporting data and was 11 officers more than what Codiac RCMP's commanding officer recommended in July.

Several councillors read a letter Supt. Benoit Jolette wrote saying the force was seeking four officers.

The letter cited municipal budget pressures, the lack of data requested by the communities to justify a larger increase, and the challenges of integrating more staff.

• Riverview roiled over 'cloak and dagger shenanigans' that blocked its vote on $66M police budget

• 15 more Codiac RCMP officers sought for 2026, despite council motions demanding crime data

Moore was asked several times to explain why the policing authority went with a larger increase than the RCMP recommended. He said residents, and councils, have repeatedly asked for greater police visibility and traffic enforcement. The budget calls for 10 of the 15 new officers to be part of a new traffic enforcement unit.

Adding 15 officers in 2026 was part of a three-year plan to add 46 officers in total based on the results of a consultant's review of the police force last year.

Jolette, who was at the Moncton council meeting, said despite the lower recommendation he still believes the force needs more officers.

"I stand by my original comments that Codiac RCMP needs additional investment and I still stand by 46 new members that came out of the study in 2024," Jolette said.

• Councils want proof that newest Mounties are reducing crime before more are added

• Moncton won't explain $2.1M jump in new police station cost

The debate over the budget has come as residents and businesses have complained about crime. Councillors in Riverview and Dieppe have said they support police and want to address concerns about crime, but also want data to be accountable for spending decisions.

A Moncton city staff report says the total policing authority budget has risen 100 per cent since 2020. Moncton covers about 70 per cent of the total policing budget, while Dieppe is almost 19 per cent and Riverview is near 11 per cent.

Moncton council is expected to debate the policing budget this week as part of city budget deliberations.

Several councillors in Riverview and Dieppe have indicated they will vote down the budget. If councils don't approve the spending plan, the province's Police Act says the local government minister may step in to set the budget.

Riverview roiled over 'cloak and dagger shenanigans' that blocked its vote on $66M police budget

Apology issued over policing budget vote

Riverview called for apology over councillor prevented from casting vote on $66M budget

An apology has been issued by the Codiac Regional Policing Authority over a contentious budget vote last month.

The civilian board oversees the Codiac Regional RCMP, which polices Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview.

A Riverview councillor who has been on the board for almost a decade was unable to vote on the $66.5-million budget for 2026 during a meeting Sept. 11.

The town had given notice John Coughlan was reappointed to the board, but chair Don Moore says the language was in the future tense.

Coughlan left and was not able to cast a vote on the budget, which passed 5-4. The budget calls for a $9.5 million increase in spending and the addition of 15 more officers.

Coughlan hasn't said how he would have voted.

"I have personally expressed my apology to the member involved for any misunderstanding that may have occurred, and I do so again publicly today," Moore said in a statement released Friday afternoon.

• Investigation of policing board sought over alleged interference

• Riverview roiled over 'cloak and dagger shenanigans' that blocked its vote on $66M police budget

He said it was unrelated to a board member's request this week for Public Safety Minister Robert Gauvin to launch an investigation of the policing authority over allegations of political and procedural interference.

The specifics of that investigation request have not been made public, and it's not clear which board member made the request.

Riverview's Mayor Andrew LeBlanc had called for an apology from the board over the budget vote, which LeBlanc described as invalid.

Moore told CBC earlier this month there was no plan to issue an apology. Moore told CBC on Friday afternoon the board held a private meeting Thursday where he apologized to Coughlan. He said a public statement was requested.

The statement Moore issued Friday says there was "never any intent to prevent or block any member of the Board from exercising their right to vote," describing it as a "misunderstanding" over Coughlan's reappointment.

Moore's statement says the notice the board received was interpreted to mean Coughlan had yet to be formally reappointed, and therefore could not participate in the budget vote.

• 15 more Codiac RCMP officers sought for 2026, despite council motions demanding crime data

• Councils want proof that newest Mounties are reducing crime before more are added

"I fully acknowledge, however, that this interpretation — and the way it unfolded during the meeting — caused frustration and confusion for both the member involved and the broader community," Moore said in the statement.

"For that, I sincerely apologize. It was never the intention of the [policing authority] or its chair to create any perception of exclusion or procedural unfairness."

CBC News has requested a comment from the town and Coughlan.

Moore is scheduled to present the policing budget to Moncton council Monday.

The budget calls for adding 15 more RCMP officers next year which is at odds with council motions saying no additional officers will be approved without crime data that has yet to be gathered.

Investigation of policing board sought over alleged interference

Codiac Regional Policing Authority board chair says he supports call for review by public safety minister

New Brunswick’s public safety minister has been asked to investigate the civilian board overseeing the Codiac Regional RCMP. 

A news release issued Wednesday says a board member of the Codiac Regional Policing Authority has requested an investigation into “concerns of political and procedural interference” within the policing authority. 

No details about the allegations have been made public, and it’s not clear which board member submitted the request. Don Moore, the policing authority chair, says he supports the request. 

Moore told CBC News the board member’s request sent to Public Safety Minister Robert Gauvin on Tuesday relates to concerns the person has about board governance, code of conduct and conflict of interest.

“It was a whole group of activities that have been happening with the [policing authority] for the last number of months,” Moore said. 

He said it was “not directly” related to a controversial budget vote last month. Moore said he has been verbally told what the request alleges but has not received a copy. Moore said the minister has yet to respond to the request.

“We have received information regarding this matter and will follow up directly with those involved,” Gauvin said Thursday in a statement to CBC News. 

The request comes just over a month after Riverview Coun. John Coughlan, who has been on the board almost a decade, was unable to vote on its $66-million budget for 2026. Coughlan was unable to vote because of a dispute over whether he had been renominated to the board.

The budget calls for Riverview, Dieppe and Moncton to spend $9.5 million more and add 15 more Mounties. It passed in a 5-4 vote on Sept. 11. 

Dieppe and Moncton councillors on the board voted against the budget. 

Councils in the three communities passed motions earlier this year saying they won’t approve significant budget or staffing increases until certain crime data is gathered and provided. That data is only expected to be collected in 2026.

The Riverview councillor’s inability to vote led to a series of questions for the policing authority board chair at a town council budget meeting earlier this month.

“The decisions or votes during that meeting, in my opinion, are null and void because we didn't have our representative at that meeting,” Riverview Deputy Mayor Jeremy Thorne said during the Oct. 15 meeting.

• Councils want proof that newest Mounties are reducing crime before more are added

• Riverview roiled over 'cloak and dagger shenanigans' that blocked its vote on $66M police budget

“There's been enough cloak and dagger shenanigans here. I believe we need to do an external review on the [policing authority] and contact the minister of local governance, Aaron Kennedy, to do a review.”

Riverview Mayor Andrew LeBlanc told CBC News that Thorne’s suggestion would be considered by council.

The town has for years asked the policing authority for data to justify budget requests, but several councillors expressed frustration that it hasn’t been provided.

The policing authority’s request for 15 officers came after the Codiac Regional RCMP superintendent in July sent a letter to the municipalities saying it would only seek four more officers in 2026.

Riverview seeks apology over $66M Codiac RCMP budget vote

October 17|

Duration 3:43

 

Riverview says a vote on a $66.5-million police budget last month is invalid, and an apology is owed to a town councillor who couldn't cast a vote.

Moore also faced questions when he presented the policing budget to Dieppe council Oct. 20.

Coun. Corinne Godbout, who represents Dieppe on the policing authority, asked Moore about the board holding budget debates in private meetings, the lack of language interpretation during private meetings, the lack of data to justify budget decisions, and other procedures.

Godbout responded to Moore's answers several times by saying, “Let’s agree to disagree.”

Dieppe Mayor Yvon Lapierre said during the meeting that the budget request was “very disappointing.” 

Municipalities to review request

CBC asked Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview officials for comment on the request for the minister to review the organization. A Moncton spokesperson sent a statement attributed to the three mayors. 

“Out of respect for the process, the tri-community will not be offering detailed comment at this time, but we welcome any process that strengthens transparency for taxpayers and supports proper governance in policing services," the three mayors said.

“Our councils will review the information and consider any implications for our municipalities.”

Moore is expected to present the policing budget to Moncton council on Monday.

A town councillor who couldn’t vote on a controversial $66.5-million police budget last month has led to a heated Riverview council meeting, calls for an apology and a review of the regional police board.

At issue is a Sept. 11 Codiac Regional Policing Authority meeting where the civilian board overseeing Codiac RCMP narrowly approved a 2026 budget by a 5-4 vote.

That budget calls for Riverview, Dieppe and Moncton to spend $9.5 million more and add 15 more Mounties. Riverview’s share of the increase is about $1 million. The budget is at odds with council motions saying no additional officers will be approved without crime data that has yet to be gathered. 

There's been enough cloak and dagger shenanigans here.

- Riverview Deputy Mayor Jeremy Thorne

John Coughlan, a Riverview councillor who has represented the town on the board for almost a decade, wasn’t able to vote on the budget. Moncton and Dieppe councillors on the board voted against the budget.

“The decisions or votes during that meeting, in my opinion, are null and void because we didn't have our representative at that meeting,” Riverview Deputy Mayor Jeremy Thorne said during a Riverview council committee meeting Wednesday.

“There's been enough cloak and dagger shenanigans here. I believe we need to do an external review on the CRPA and contact the minister of local governance, Aaron Kennedy to do a review.”

Riverview seeks apology over $66M Codiac RCMP budget vote

October 17 |

Duration 3:43

 

Riverview says a vote on a $66.5-million police budget last month is invalid, and an apology is owed to a town councillor who couldn't cast a vote.

The dispute over Coughlan’s participation comes down to whether he had been reappointed in time. The town’s mayor says he notified the policing authority that Coughlan was reappointed, but the board took the phrasing to mean he would be reappointed in the future and therefore couldn’t take part in the debate and vote.

The dispute went public Wednesday as the policing authority board chair, Don Moore, presented that 2026 budget to Riverview council. Once the policing authority votes on the budget, the spending plan goes to the three municipalities to include in their own budgets.

Moore said he couldn’t discuss what happened with Coughlan, saying it was part of a closed-door meeting.

“That's a fully unacceptable answer, Mr. Moore,” Coun. Heath Johnson replied. 

Johnson said if Moore wouldn’t answer, he would keep talking and the public could judge. Moore asked the mayor to intervene. 

“I'm not going to take these insults,” Moore said “I don't appreciate this. This is very combative.”

Mayor Andrew LeBlanc said legitimate questions could continue. 

Your privacy, to me, is bull and that we are the ones that are paying this bill.

- Riverview Coun. Wayne Bennett

Several councillors questioned the transparency, accountability and governance of the policing authority. Several referenced the town seeking data to back up spending decisions that haven't been provided. 

“It just seems to me that we deserve more from you as a team,” Coun. Wayne Bennett said.

“Your privacy, to me, is bull and that we are the ones that are paying this bill, the tri-community, and we deserve more from you. We deserve the data we’ve asked for for the last five years.”

The mayor said council support the police force, but want the data to be accountable to taxpayers.

• 15 more Codiac RCMP officers sought for 2026, despite council motions demanding crime data

• Councils want proof that newest Mounties are reducing crime before more are added

The data issue led to councils in Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview earlier this year passing similar motions. 

The motions say "prior to any future substantial Codiac Regional Policing Authority budget requests, including further staffing increases, being proposed," the board must provide the communities data showing the impact that adding 17 officers in 2025 had on crime. 

That data has yet to be gathered. 

Moore said the policing authority decided to proceed with the additional hires without the data requested because of a consultant’s report, which he acknowledged he hasn’t been able to fully review, that called for adding 46 officers over three years. 

We don't want to just be an average police force.

- Policing authority chair Don Moore

Moore also acknowledged Codiac RCMP had in July sought a smaller increase, only four more officers, but the policing authority board opted to proceed with the larger request which would start a traffic unit.

“We don't want to just be an average police force,” Moore said at the meeting. “We want to make sure we have a great police force doing the work that we're supposed to be doing.”

As the Riverview meeting unfolded Wednesday, multiple councillors called for the board to apologize to Coughlan. The mayor asked for an apology in an email to Moore the day after the vote.

No plan to apologize

No apology has been made, and Moore told CBC News on Thursday “I'm not aware that we're planning to do such.”

Coughlan declined to comment.

The mayor in the email, which the town provided to CBC, also suggested the budget vote was invalid “given the abdication of procedural process and that a board member was prohibited from voting.”

Moore said he considers the vote valid.

Information Morning - Moncton16:52

 Some Riverview town councillors say they won't accept the Codiac Regional Policing Authority's budget for 2026

 

Andrew LeBlanc is the mayor of Riverview. Don Moore is the chair of the Codiac Regional Policing Authority.

Several councillors said what’s unfolded would result in their voting down the policing budget later this fall. 

Moore is scheduled to present the policing budget to Dieppe council Monday, and Moncton council in early November.

If the councils don’t approve the policing budget, the Police Act sets out that the province’s local government minister can step in and set a budget. 

Both LeBlanc and Moore told CBC they hope that step won’t be needed.

                                  RE: Rampant Public Corruption

Hey 

Harper’s puppet masters, Burney and Mulroney gave me the idea to support the lust of the Liberal Senate to make history like some of them did long ago with Joey Clark. I hope the Senators stop the Conservative mandate in its tracks in May rather than depend on the non-existent ethics of the Bloc. Shame on you all and the political whore, Gilles Duceppe in particular to make me play such political games. You dudes from Quebec yap of sovereignty all day long then mouth your support of Harper’s attack on all our sovereignty just because he kicked your fancy French arses in the last election? Perhaps you should listen to the attachment in your next email before we meet in court.

Pursuant to my many phone calls and email to all of you over the years, you will find enclosed as I promised Hard Copy of exactly the same material sent to Allan Rock, Franky Boy McKenna and the FBI exactly one year ago and many others today. The true copy of the Yankee police surveillance wiretap tape #139 is served upon you as officers of the court in order that it may be investigated. Now that my family has been without their home and their father for almost a year everything I said to the crooked lawyers McKenna and Rock holds particularly true for all of you today. You people forgot we are human too. Do with your irrefutable knowledge of crime what you will in your own selfish best interests as I prepare to file my first complaint in Canada to defend my freedom and argue you in court.
The words in the above paragraphs were all that I was going to say to you people especially after all the times I have tried to make contact with you in the past. However the Conservatives were flying way too high in April for me not to try to shoot the government’s mandate down in May. I have been busy lining up liberal ducks that lost their positions in the last election to drag into court to embarrass Conservatives with. Derek Burney and Mulroney have ordered their puppet, Harper to dare the opposition to cause an election merely because he is temporarily higher in the polls. That is just like Humpty Dumpty did last fall. He got a great kick in the balls and suffered a great fall with that sort of thinking. C’est vrai?

The need has arisen to teach Harper’s puppetmasters Burney and Mulroney a hard lesson about history repeating itself right now. Thus I must remind the nasty Upper Canadian political warhorse, Big Bad Billy Boy Graham of his own words of barely a month ago. "The Liberal Party is ""perfectly capable"" of fighting an election even without a new leader in place if the need arises, Interim Leader Bill Graham insisted Tuesday. Mr. Graham, appearing on CBC Newsworld dismissed suggestions that the party is stuck with the Conservative agenda in the coming session because it is not set to go back to the polls."
Graham while you trying to sprout some balls of your own this spring, I want you to know that Byron Prior read me the letter you pal Cotler wrote to him at your request after polling day was history in 2004. If the current Minister of Justice were an ethical man, he would have given a copy of Cotler’s letter long ago to the Speaker so that all Parliamentarians could have discussed the former Minister of Justice ethics and accountability. What say you? If anyone should pay attention to this letter it is the Bloc. I am trying to be fair even though Ms. Freeman’s snotty assistant threatened to throw my material in the trash. Andre Arthur and the Conservatives made the Bloc look like buffoons in the last election. Tonight is the Bloc’s big chance for payback if anyone in the Bloc has the sand to act ethically ASAP.
In the "mean" time why doesn’t somebody just do their job and call the liberal, Aldééa Landry or the lawyer, Marian McGrath, of the Security Intelligence Review Committee at 613 990-5866 to get the low down about what I am up too? They do report to Parliamentarians. N’est pas? Yea, I know it is a waste of time. You all must know of my concerns particularly with the budget vote ce soir or the new women in the Bloc camp, Freeman and Barbot, would have called me back months ago. N’est pas?

As I line up French ducks, I often think of you, Michael Fortier. I suspect you have heard my name cursed quite a bit lately. The fact that you were picked rather than elected to sit in the House as a Cabinet Minister by your pals Burney and Mulroney makes me curse you too. I well remember your smirk as the wicked Speech from the Throne became history on April 4th. I saw it just before Marion McGrath called me back and laughed at me. The memory of a bald evil looking lawyer who was with Mulroney’s law firm and the TD Bank too poking the tips of his fingers together with glee makes me see red a lot. The Frenchman can hear a trueconservative Maritimer curse a blue streak if he says my name in just the right company to his Newfy buddy the aptly named lawyer, Rob Moore. Methinks that little biblepounder could lose his cool and turn the air as blue as Humpty Dumpty’s balls.

Why bullshit each other? You all know I am the guy who has caused John Manley, Brian Tobin, Allan Rock and Franky Boy McKenna not to want to be the leader of the liberal party. Tobin worked for Magna and obviously McKenna got this material twice and Rock once thus far. Trust me I made certain that I could prove that John Manley should know much about my issues with Bankers and publicly held Corps. Furthermore I sent a lot of people an email and even posted it on the Internet within a blog or two the reason Belinda crossed the floor last year. Don Amos General Counsel and Paul Cellucci VP of Magna Entertainment know all about the many wiretap tapes etc and the evidence of other crimes I have. Quite frankly so does almost everybody else of political import in two countries for over three years. You are looking at the proof that on July 16th, 2002 I gave my material to the CBC and Paul Cellucci in Ottawa before I began to prosecute my first complaint in a Pro Se fashion in the USA. If you bother to notice I am doing the same thing now but in a far larger scale and that is after running for a seat in Parliament twice and studying a lot of law day and night for years. This ethical Maritimer and fierce political animal is ready and chomping at the bit to Raise a Lot of Hell. I will leave it to you to speculate as to whether or not I am successful. However I must inform you I have nothing left to lose. Thus legions of lawyers will find me one genuine pain in the ass in the near future. I am relying on the truth in the old saying that "there is no honour amongst thieves" so if the liberals and the Bloc were truly clever they would figure out some way to side with me quickly.

From my point of view whatever remains of the liberal party that emerges from its rumble for its own benefit should boot out all the lawyers that sat in the 37th, 38th and 39th Parliament. One thing that can be easily replaced is a lawyer or a politician. A political party’s reputation is very hard to regain. 

 

Mulroney proved that for ya. Didn’t he? Every now and then Canadians will slap most if not all the offenders of the pubic trust out of office. History has proven that many times. Do you not think it will repeat itself? Look at how many times Harper has proven he looks down on Canadians with contempt even though he has only a minority government. The fool has already proven to all what he really is. Why do the opposition even hesitate if they were not as corrupt as he? I will do my best to see that the Conservatives do not last long in power or my name ain’t Dave. I think the key to Harper’s demise could still be a few words from the MP Andre Arthur but someone else could still scoop him as early as tonight and become a Canadian hero who may become a Prime Minister someday.

Listen the portions of the wiretap tape in your email right now and remember that I gave nine wiretap tapes to the Suffolk county District Attorney in open court in September of 2004 and my lawyer gave nine original ones to Senator Arlen Specter on Feb 7th. Do you see Bush’s loss of support since then? I do. Interesting EH? Think fast. I have been getting some interesting calls for a change. I am not the only person on the planet who wants to see George W. Bush impeached ASAP. I have given up on my sense of ethical conduct and decided to give copies of wiretap tapes to anyone that wants them despite what law enforcement may wish to say about it.

I explained my reasons to Stevey Boy Harper and a bunch of bankers today. All Canadian and Yankee law enforcement authorities I have managed to speak to over the years falsely claim that they cannot address my own issues with me because it is a matter of public safety and must be kept secret. Bullshit. 

 

The only people that could claim that my matters are secret are the people in CISIS or the DHS. They are trying to protect is their own nasty arses at the expense of mine. All the bureaucrats I talk to lately appear to be lost. John Shuttle in the PCO office is for example does not know who in his office Harper is going to can or hold accountable. Two political bosses, Landslide Annie and Pierre Pettigrew have slipped out the back and effected a getaway with a fine pensions.. Small wonder Stockwell Day and Petey Baby MacKay refuse to call me back. EH? As always they are confused. Tis my turn to ignore all you political lawyers for awhile and watch Harper government make ready for its high diving act. I have no wish to speak to you now unless it is in a very public fashion. None of the behind closed doors in confidence crap for me anymore. The people of two countries and my little Clan in particular have the right see my simple truths out in the open and argued. To that end, I would prefer to question you in court under oath. Thus consider yourselves notified that if I am ever allowed the due process of law I will call you to testify. You can be a hostile witness if you wish. In truth I think it would be more fun. I must find a way to entertain ordinary folks like me because most Canadians are bored with all the political shenanigans that you fools embrace.

If you have any questions about my matters before I call you to court to testify about what you have received, perhaps you should contact the women at SIRC or the CISIS people whose work they are supposed to check. I suspect that they will tell you what they know of me is a secret and a matter of public safety. Too bad so sad for you. Cry me a river about the reasons that you never bothered to call me back. I ain’t holding my breath waiting for a Fed to do their job anymore. I am suing the Crown. 

 

Under the Charter I have the definite right to no false imprisonment in another country supported with false allegations served upon me by my own consulate while I sat in jail with no bail and held under the charges of "Other". If Stevey Boy Harper or Paul Martin were I, they would have sued the Crown the instant they came screaming out of jail. Am I any less of a man than they are just because I am as poor as a church mouse? I my book money does not make a man, his word does. You dudes take oaths all the time. A man like me fails to see the need. Should not everything one says in serious matters be true? Why the need for an oath, especially when speaking for others for a fee?

You all work for the good of the common man in the House of Commons. EH? FYI, most of us common men know your secret. The doubletalk of mandates etc only serves to prove your dishonesty. The reason you will not act within the scope of your employment ain’t a matter of Public Safety at all. Rampant Public Corruption ain’t a closely guarded secret. It is common knowledge that is as old as man himself. It is my fondest wish to bring great shame upon the legal profession and all employed in law enforcement. You have all sworn oaths to uphold the law and delay and deny no one for lure or malice. 

 

All have proven to me that you work hard to do the opposite and betray the public trust for personal gain. For my own protection and satisfaction, I have written a journal and secured copies of it in many places with supporting evidence. Your names can be found within. I cannot depend on justice being served in the purported Democracy that stands in Canada right now or ever. You choose the part you wish to play on the little stage I have set for you. I will record the truth of your actions or inaction with the faith that sooner or later the truth will be known about what I have managed to do.

Enough said, tis time for me to run to the UPS store. I cannot trust the Canada Post with this stuff. Afterwards I am going back to the woods and write something kinda important. My ancestors lived by the following motto, me too. I added my two bits worth and a smiley face too. The Yankee store that Ambassador Wilkins frequents don’t own the rights to it yet. EH?

50 years on, Riverview has grown from just 3 houses to largest town in

50 years on, Riverview has grown from just 3 houses to largest town in
New Brunswick
Residents value small-town feel, but Riverview also has big-city challenges

CBC News · Posted: Jul 09, 2023 9:00 AM ADT

Phillip Dobson was born in a town with three houses.

That town is now home to 20,000 people and is bigger than four cities
in New Brunswick.

Phillip Dobson is celebrating Riverview's 50th anniversary by
remembering the impact his father, Byron Dobson, had on the town.
Byron was a property developer responsible for much of the area's
growth after the Second World War.

"Everybody thought he was crazy," Phillip Dobson said. "Why would
anybody cross the bridge to live in Riverview when they could live in
Moncton?"

who helped build the town, would be 'astounded' to see it today.

The answer may lie in the difference between the two. Riverview only
officially became a town in July of 1973, and it has no plans to
become a city. Although neighbour to two of the province's largest
cities — Moncton and Dieppe — the town's identity is rooted in that
four-letter word.

"We like the fact that we're a town because it contributes to that
closeness that we have as a community," said Mayor Andrew LeBlanc.
"We're quite happy to continue to be the largest town in New
Brunswick."'

Phillip Dobson lived in the old farmhouse his dad built for himself a
few decades before Riverview became Riverview. The house is now in the
heart of town, surrounded by homes, schools, shops and parks.

Association, with the support of the Riverview mayor and council,
according to Mareika Dow, spokesperson for the municipality.

Phillip said his father would be "astounded" to see the town as it is right now.

"I think this exceeds his expectations," he said.

LeBlanc has lived in Riverview for the last 30 years. He said lots has
changed, especially the number of buildings and commercial
development, but some things are still the same.

"We've been able to maintain that really close-knit feeling, that
community atmosphere, that feeling of supporting one another," he
said.

and still remain a tight-knit community. (Pierre Fournier/CBC)

LeBlanc said the town is no exception when it comes to serious issues,
such as homelessness and the housing crises sweeping across the
country, which is why some growth is necessary, despite some pushback
to any development.

"Not all growth. It's smart growth," he said. "And making sure that
the growth fits to the vision of the town and in what we need."
Everything changes except desire to stay the same

Dobson said resistance to development is also nothing new. He
remembers making a presentation about a condo development he was
working on in the '80s and people booing and throwing things at him.

"It was on TV and my daughter, who was in school in British Columbia,
saw me on television with stuff flying past me," he said.

But Dobson said as much as change is scary, he's learned in his 80
years that nothing stays the same. And change is sometimes important
to make communities healthier.

"How long can we just keep building houses ... [that are] so
separated." he said. "We have a problem with carbon in the air. We
have to do something about it."

Riverview turning 50

Within a generation, Riverview has grown to become one of the largest
municipalities in the province. As the town marks its 50th
anniversary, Khalil Akhtar sat down with Phillip Dobson, whose father
helped transform the place across the river from Moncton.

LeBlanc said despite all the growth, the town has still managed to
keep its identity. To do this, he said it takes everyone agreeing that
community matters most — green spaces, youth and social clubs and
accepting each other's differences.

"Welcoming to newcomers and new cultures, new diverse backgrounds, the
LGBTQ community," he said. "We're trying to be a welcoming community
for everybody and whether we're a town or a city, we can achieve that
goal and we have been achieving that goal."

Deja Vu Anyone??

Is your neighbour in a different federal riding? This is why

‘It's a bit like Rubik's Cube,’ says retired professor who helped
reshape New Brunswick ridings in 2012

Colin McPhail · CBC News · Posted: Oct 19, 2019 8:00 AM ADT

At an intersection along Whitepine Road in Riverview, drivers are
besieged by election campaign signs, far more than your average
high-traffic corner.

That's because the road marks the border between two federal ridings —

boundary cuts Riverview almost in two, and Mayor Ann Seamans says it
can be confusing for residents come election time.

I wonder how many folks in Riverview ever voted for me




danny rugg
The mindset of the vocal minority. Oppose what you fear. First it was
the no brainer removing the big dam in the river, one dam left to go,
but build a park around it first. They have little retail , not retail
friendly, just houses. But hey, look at the crowd swelling to oppose
the next apartment building to put people who want to live there and
pay taxes. There should be organized bus tours to Dieppe to show the
stuck in the mud folks all the nice things they have over there, like
government offices and jobs, a downtown and new car dealerships and
lodgings. Maybe another generation and better education and Riverview
might get with the program. The MLAS they pick ain't helping much,all
they have to excell in is hanging at the local bar and fishing to get
elected.

Dieppe is not one of the two largest cities in NB. Saint John and
Fredericton both dwarf Dieppe.

Riverview is a neighbour of Saint John and Fredericton?

I think it depends on how many of the minority, like 20%.

What you think is not the law. All New Nouveau-Brunswick cities must
have their by-laws in both official languages and provide bilingual
services.

This is a town. There is also a 20% rule.


Jos Allaire
Reply to Michael Cain
 It is a town and this is why it will remain a town for the reason
that I stated.

35(1)A municipality whose official language minority population
represents at least 20% of its total population is required to adopt
and publish its by-laws in both official languages.

35(2)A city is required to adopt and publish its by-laws in both
official languages irrespective of the percentage required under
subsection (1).

35(3)A municipality or city to which subsection (1) or (2) applies
that adopts a new by-law or amends an existing by-law after December
31, 2002, shall do so in both official languages.

35(4)Except in the case of a by-law referred to in subsection (3), a
municipality or city to which subsection (1) or (2) applies, other
than Moncton, shall adopt and publish its by-laws in both official
languages on or before December 31, 2005.

35(5)Subsection (3) applies, with the necessary modifications, to the
minutes of council proceedings.

Riverview is pro residential but has had a long standing aversion to

seventies. It's been a lot bigger than three houses. As far as
amalgamation goes, Riverview doesn't want it and neither does Dieppe
for language reasons primarily. Riverview is, well, an odd place to

Not on cultural grounds. The Petitcodiac river separates the diverse
SE of NB from the COR regions. Gunningsville had an English speaking
identity, and it for long had that cachet. It has functioned as a
bedroom community to Moncton for Albert County which is about as
different, culturally speaking, as it could be to Westmoreland county.
I do think that this sort of division actually still matters to the
current political establishment we have.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/federal-riding-boundaries-electora-disctrict-readjustment-1.5325518

Is your neighbour in a different federal riding? This is why
‘It's a bit like Rubik's Cube,’ says retired professor who helped
reshape New Brunswick ridings in 2012

Colin McPhail · CBC News · Posted: Oct 19, 2019 8:00 AM AT



The next time riding boundaries shift could be after the 2021 census,
but does that mean you and your neighbour might end up in different
ridings? (Mike Heenan/CBC)

At an intersection along Whitepine Road in Riverview, drivers are
besieged by election campaign signs, far more than your average
high-traffic corner.

That's because the road marks the border between two federal ridings —
Moncton-Rivervew-Dieppe to the north, Fundy Royal to the south. The
boundary cuts Riverview almost in two, and Mayor Ann Seamans says it
can be confusing for residents come election time.

Multiple residents on Brewster Street, one street south of Whitepine,
told CBC News they should be included in the riding with neighbouring
Moncton. They say their interests are not as closely aligned with
Fundy Royal communities like Sussex and Quispamsis.

Seamans made a similar point in 2012 when officials readjusted the
boundaries and opted to maintain the border through Riverview. Seven
years later, the two-term mayor said she was speaking up for her
residents, but she doesn't think the split has negatively affected the
municipality.

It's better to have two MPs in your corner than one, she said.

It's not the only boundary in New Brunswick's 10 federal electoral
districts that may raise an eyebrow.


The latest boundary for the Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe federal riding.
(Elections Canada)

Dieppe has a chunk of the city belonging to Beauséjour. Rothesay and
Quispamsis, two communities that share several municipal services, are
in different federal ridings. Rural villages south of Grand Lake, like
Gagetown and Cambridge-Narrows, are tied to the Fundy Isles riding.

There are many communities along every boundary that would seem to be
a more appropriate fit in the adjacent riding, but the line has to be
drawn somewhere. And it's not an easy task for those charged with the
duty.

Elections Canada describes the independent commissions that redraw the
lines as "high-wire balancing acts" — a fair comparison, according to
Patrick Malcolmson.

The retired political science professor was appointed to the
three-member commission that readjusted the boundaries in 2012. He
described the process and what it was like to walk that high wire.
How are federal ridings reshaped?
The Constitution requires that federal electoral districts be reviewed
after each decennial census.
Redistribution, as it's called, is led by independent commissions
established in each province.

A commission is permitted to tweak boundaries but not the number of
ridings. For New Brunswick, that means keeping it at 10. The
commission makes its recommendations, accepts feedback during public
hearings and delivers a report to the chief electoral officer.


The current map of federal ridings in New Brunswick. (Elections Canada)

House members can object to the recommendations in the report. The
commission must consider any objection but is not compelled to make
any changes. A final report is submitted to the Speaker of the House.
Once the speaker tables it, the commission's decisions are final.

Reflecting on the framework, Malcolmson said the Canadian system is
probably "one of the best systems, at least at the federal level, that
exists." He said typically people with legal or academic backgrounds
are appointed to the non-partisan commissions.

"You find that, you know, basically the commissions are made up of
people who have a lot of expertise and have no political axe to
grind," he said.

They seek to improve representation, he said, not to manipulate
constituency boundaries for political purposes, the gerrymandering
often seen in the United States.
What criteria are used to adjust boundaries?
Each commission is given an "electoral quota," the number of residents
permitted in a single district. It's essentially the province's
population divided by number of ridings.

Commissions must draw the boundaries to be "as close as reasonably
possible" to the electoral quota. In New Brunswick, the number during
the most recent redistribution in 2012 was 75,117.

But they have some wiggle room.

    It's a bit like Rubik's Cube, you know, because if you do that you
have to change the boundaries somewhere else.

    - Patrick Malcolmson

The riding population has to remain within a 25 per cent margin on
either side of the quota.
That's almost a 40,000-person window to work with in New Brunswick.

But it's still a tricky task, given the continuing migration to urban
centres and depopulation of rural New Brunswick. Because of the
population shift, the 2012 commission faced a crucial fork in the road
early on in its work.

One option was adding surrounding population to urban centres and
making more urban ridings — two each for the Moncton, Saint John and
Fredericton areas — reducing the number of mixed or rural districts to
four. The other option was to take a bit from urban centres and add to
the other districts.
Commissioners opted for the latter.

"It's nice to sort of say, 'Well, we should have two ridings for each
[region] of the major cities,'" Malcolmson said, "but I think you'd
have quite a groundswell of discontent from people who live outside
the cities that now they're really not going to have a voice. And I
think they already feel that they don't have a voice."

The Riverview/Fundy Royal issue began with a proposal to put all of
Dieppe in the Beauséjour riding, leaving Moncton and Riverview as one.
But residents of Dieppe objected. So to meet the population quota,
parts of Riverview and Moncton were moved into adjacent ridings
instead.
"I think we were sort of caught on two sides and, ultimately, made
what we thought was the best decision," he said.

"It's a bit like Rubik's Cube, you know, because if you do that you
have to change the boundaries somewhere else."
What else is taken into account?
Commissions also need to consider manageable geographic sizes for the
districts and communities of interest.

A community of interest is a key idea in shaping the boundaries in
order to enhance representation.

The notion is open to interpretation, but Elections Canada calls it a
"counterweight" to the cold, hard math of divvying up things by
population.


The 2012 redistribution commission changed the name of the Saint John
riding to Saint John-Rothesay to better reflect the geography.
(Elections Canada)

"Strict population equality may well mean the splintering of otherwise
natural communities," that share municipal boundaries, economic
interests as well as social, racial, religious or linguistic
characteristics.

On multiple instances, francophone groups in the province challenged
boundary adjustments out of concern it would diminish francophone
representation.

The Federal Court made history in 2004 by halting a boundary change
that sought to move some Acadie-Bathurst residents into the
predominantly anglophone Miramichi riding.

The New Brunswick commission tasked with the 2002 redistribution also
proposed having every First Nation vote in the Miramichi riding, even
though only three were in the geographic area. The idea was to boost
Indigenous representation, but the plan was met with heavy opposition
and eventually scrapped.

During the 2012 redistribution, the commission decided to roll
Belledune into Acadie-Bathurst. The village, which is located between
Campbellton and Bathurst, was previously part of the Miramichi riding
"for no apparent reason," the commission wrote.
What's next?
The next decennial census is scheduled for 2021, meaning another
boundary readjustment will soon be upon us.

"I would imagine the trend towards, you know, greater urbanization in
the province has continued and there's a sort of process of rural
depopulation happening," Malcolmson said.

"At some point, whether it's this time or next time, you're going to
reach the tipping point and there's going to have to be a more
substantial redistribution than there was.

"The commission will have to look pretty, pretty hard at redrawing
those boundaries, and that will not be a walk in the park."

Reply to @Kelly Alder: I feel your pain I was born in Sackville and
raised in Dorchester until 1967. When Little Louie centralized the
government my Father who was the County Administrator for Westmorland
County Dad lost his job and had to take the job offered in Fat Fred
City as the Supervisor of Taxation for the Province. He provided
faithful and ethical service to the the folks in NB until he died way
too young. Trust that it was a job my Father hated but he did enjoy
forcing the Irving Clan to pay their property taxes. Later my Mother
married the former Chief Electoral officer and a very Proud CoR Party
member just like Premier Higgs once was.

Furthermore my Brother in Law's law firm partner is Brian Mosher. As
the VP of the PC Party for the Maritimes Mosher assisted Petey Crybaby
MacKay in merging with Harper's Party Methinks it should be a small
wonder to R.B. Bennett's ghost as to why my Father's wild child has
run for public office 7 times N'esy Pas?

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

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

> Courtney Pyrke, NDP candidate for Saint John Harbour, could face

> Higgs and Wayne Long. (Submitted by Courtney Pyrke)
>
> The interim leader of the New Brunswick NDP is condemning
> election-night comments by one of the party's candidates and says he
> is looking at "disciplinary action."
>
> Mackenzie Thomason apologized for what he called "wholly unnecessary
> and profane remarks" by Courtney Pyrke aimed at Saint John-Rothesay
> Liberal MP Wayne Long and Premier Blaine Higgs.
>
> At 9:57 on election night, Pyrke, the NDP candidate in Saint John
> Harbour, tweeted a photo of a bottle of wine next to a paper cup with
> the words "F--- Blaine Higgs."
>
> Later that night Pyrke tweeted a crude anatomical pun about Long's
> name while comparing him to an NDP MP who represented the federal
> riding where they used to live in Hamilton, Ont.
>
>
> Interim NDP Leader Mackenzie Thomason described the comments as
> 'wholly unnecessary and profane.' (CBC News)
>
> In a press release, Thomason condemned the "outbursts" and said they
> didn't reflect NDP values and were made without his consent.
>
> "We have our differences, we have our passions, but when you attack
> personally, and use comments such as that on a personal level, that's
> something that contravenes the political process, contravenes good
> will and it's not promoting dialogue," he said in an interview.
>
> Thomason said such behaviour would not be tolerated and the party was
> "exploring disciplinary action for these and other remarks," but he
> said he wasn't aware of the details of the NDP's internal process,
> which he said would be confidential.
> Candidate at odds with party officials
>
> Pyrke, who identifies as non-binary and uses the pronouns they and
> them, said the criticism was "fair" but the party had not contacted
> them to discuss the tweets before issuing the press release. They
> learned of the statement from CBC News.
>
> Pyrke also said the party was upset about Pyrke's questioning of how
> party officials were controlling Thomason's schedule and how they were
> "running the show", instead of the interim leader himself.
>
> "I had basically been shut down and told I didn't understand," Pyrke said.
>
> "Every time I asked these types of questions, they treated it as if I
> was attacking them, and that I wasn't being understanding, and that I
> was new so I don't get it."
>
>     Online activist seizes the spotlight with police critique
>
> Thomason said a "very professional" team of people came forward to
> help the NDP campaign and "it was made very clear to the candidates
> that this was what was going on, and it seemed to not sit well with
> certain candidates.
>
> "Differences arise and differences are okay. We have to have those
> conversations, but they have to be respectful."
>
> Pyrke would not commit to staying involved with the NDP. "This is not
> the party that I support from my home town in Hamilton."
> Long surprised by apology
>
> Long said he was surprised by Thomason's apology "but I was happy to
> see it. I don't think personal attacks of that nature have a place in
> politics."
>
> Saint John MP Wayne Long says personal attacks of that nature don't
> belong in politics. (CBC)
>
> On Monday, Pyrke finished fourth in Saint John Harbour, a one-time NDP
> bastion, with 5.9 per cent of the vote.
>
> That's the lowest total for the NDP in the riding since it was created
> before the 1995 election.
>
> However, that result far exceeded the NDP's province-wide 1.6 per cent
> share of the popular vote and the 1.3 per cent Thomason received in
> Fredericton North.
