New bilingual sign requirement stirs uproar in N.B. community, prompting mayor to quit
New bilingual sign requirement stirs uproar in N.B. community, prompting mayor to quit
Rule was meant to make French more visible, says Beausoleil's chief administrative officer
The mayor of the recently amalgamated community of Beausoleil, which encompasses Cocagne, has resigned.
Jean Hébert says he doesn't want to continue working in what has become a divisive and confrontational environment.
People in the community are split over a couple of issues, said Hébert — primarily, a new bylaw requiring a phase-in of bilingual signs that would give French top billing.
"A lot of signs were just in English. … The federation of municipalities was giving money for the signs that would have been bought and the municipality was ready to get involved, too. So … it wouldn't have been costly, but some people wanted to keep their sign as it was."
The Francophone Association of the Municipalities of New Brunswick would cover 60 per cent of the cost of new signs to a maximum of $4,000. The municipality of Beausoleil would cover 40 per cent, to a maximum of $2,667.
After two months of public turmoil, Hébert said he couldn't see a way to move forward on the issue in a positive way.
"I was disappointed because I thought everything would come out all right," he said.
"I thought I could resolve every problem that comes along. I mean, I've been mayor for nine years. But … I couldn't resolve that problem."

north of Shediac in southeastern New Brunswick, to protest the sign
bylaw. (Radio-Canada)
Dozens of business owners attended a recent municipal council meeting, and some protesters outside held up signs in the windows.
The demonstrators demanded more transparency or the resignation of the mayor and municipal manager.
"I think we sent a strong and clear message," said Vincent Cormier, chair of the protest group.
"There were no consultations, that's the main thing."

Poirier opposes the new rule requiring business signs be bilingual,
even though his business already has signs that are predominantly in
French. (Radio-Canada)
"It was never discussed with business," said Owen Newcombe of ON Sports.
"I'm not against French or English, but I should have the choice," he said.
Consultations were held, municipality says
Even the owner of a local store that already has a predominantly French sign, Benoît Poirier of Cocagne Variety, said he felt left out.
No consultations were held specifically on the bylaw, but the subject of requiring bilingual commercial signs was discussed during three public consultation sessions for a strategic plan last fall, said Mathieu Caissie, Beausoleil's chief administrative officer, clerk and treasurer.
A survey on the plan was also sent to residents of the rural municipality, he said.
The goal was to make French more visible in the community, said Caissie.
"For a child in the community … seeing their language on the signs is probably one of the most important ways for their culture to shine," he said.
About 75 per cent the population of Beausoleil is francophone, but 60 per cent of commercial signs are in English, he said.

The bylaw also went through the usual procedure at public municipal council meetings. It was introduced June 11 and passed second and third readings July 16, said Hébert.
The vote was 5-4, he said. He didn't even have to vote on the matter, because typically the mayor only votes to break a tie.
Like the community, councillors have remained divided on the issue, he said.
A longer time period and more communication prior to final approval may have been warranted, Hébert conceded.
Many people are under the impression their business name would have to change, he said, which is not the case.
Only outdoor signs have to be bilingual, with French on top or on the left, he said.
Less controversy in Memramcook
The bylaw doesn't require businesses to change their names, but requires them to, for example, indicate in French first their opening hours or products offered.
The reaction to the sign bylaw in Beausoleil is unfortunate, said Maxime Bourgeois, mayor of Memramcook.
Beausoleil protested the new rule outside the municipal office on Tuesday evening. (Radio-Canada)
A similar bylaw was passed there in March, except it has a clause for existing signs that only requires compliance whenever they're being replaced by the business owner.
People in his community didn't have a problem with it, he said.
Bourgeois feels it's a good initiative to protect the language and cultural composition of the community.
"It's not xenophobia," he said. "It's cultural preservation."
The real estate lawyer estimated his own community's portion of anglophones has increased to about 25 per cent from about 18 per cent in the last few years.
"English isn't going anywhere, but nowadays if you go to Tim Hortons in places like Bouctouche or Shediac, it's hard to get service in French," he said.
The other divisive issue that arose over the summer in Beausoleil and riled people up was the firing of the local fire chief by the chief administrative officer, said Hébert.
"A lot of people, myself included, had a lot of respect for that guy," he said. "That started another situation."
Hébert said he asked the municipal association to look into the fire chief's termination.
He said he was told a lawyer for the association did so and determined that all proper procedures had been followed.
However, Hébert said, neither he nor anyone else on council was given any explanation or has any power to do anything about it because it was a human resource issue.

Beauséjour Conservative candidate Vincent Cormier on economy, immigration & climate change
Conservative candidate Vincent Cormier at Sackville Fall Fair on Saturday
Vincent Cormier, the Conservative Party candidate in Beauséjour, says the riding needs to send someone to Ottawa who will listen to what people are saying and then, defend their interests.
“If we go by the surveys that are out there now, the economy is clearly number one,” Cormier said during an interview Saturday at the Sackville Fall Fair.
“We have young graduates, good, young, smart kids that try to start in life, but due to the high level of taxes that they pay, due to student debt, due to the fact that our economy is not that strong and there’s not necessarily year-round employment, they head elsewhere,” he said, adding that his own son is now living in Calgary.
The Conservative candidate said it will take time to reverse things, but there are steps that could be taken.
“We have to reduce the amount of taxes we’re paying, we have to quit spending money,” Cormier said. He added that the government needs to concentrate on making Beauséjour an attractive area for business investment so that new employers could provide good-paying jobs.
He also said that while he understands the need for New Brunswick to attract immigrants to fill labour shortages, there should be a proper balance.
“Why do we have so many people on unemployment and we’re bringing immigrants in?” Cormier asked, adding that we need to start talking about how to strike what he called “a happy medium” between creating employment for local people while encouraging more immigrants to settle here.
Carbon tax, no solution for climate change
Title page of the Conservative climate change plan that stresses green technology, not taxes. To read the plan, click here.
When asked about efforts to fight climate change, Cormier said he recognizes it’s an important issue.
“We all have to do our share,” he added. “Each voter is responsible for that.”
But he strongly disagrees with the carbon tax that the federal Liberals brought in.
“If we look at the fact that Canada’s total carbon emissions on the planet are 1.8%, I think it would be a more practical approach to penalize the countries that are contributing the most to this carbon emission total,” he said, mentioning that the top three emitters are China, India and the United States.
“Why penalize average Canadians that are trying to put food on their table for something that we don’t carry the big bulk of the responsibility [for]?” Cormier asked.
“I’m not saying we need to walk away from it [climate change],” he added. “Our government should be challenging those countries…to address their problems.”
He suggested private industries could be encouraged to expand the efforts they’re already making to reduce greenhouse gas emissions adding that the manufacturers of transport trucks, for example, have made significant advancements.
“The carbon emissions on those vehicles, a lot of them put out less emissions than your typical car [and] a lot of people don’t know that,” he said.
Personal background
Vincent Cormier’s candidate photo
Cormier said he’s lived in Beauséjour all his life and grew up on a farm doing chores with three brothers and a sister in the small town of Saint-Paul north of Moncton.
“I had a chance to go pick berries, I was 10, 11 years old,” he said, “at five cents a box, that’s what we were being paid.”
Cormier said his childhood taught him the values of hard work and responsibility, values that stood him in good stead as a manager and entrepreneur in manufacturing and construction.
“I retired at 56 and after six months at home, I got bored, the fire was still burning, I didn’t know where to put all that energy, so we partnered up with another gentleman and now we’re doing housing in First Nations communities.”
Cormier’s candidate biography mentions Personalized Building Solutions as the company he co-founded that specializes in First Nations housing developments. His Conservative Party biography also mentions Cormier’s involvement in a consulting firm in Dieppe called NuFocus Strategic Group.

Traditional Liberal riding
Cormier acknowledges that federal Liberals have an almost unbroken record of winning in Beauséjour. (In 1997, voters elected NDP candidate Angela Vautour, but Dominic LeBlanc re-captured the riding for the Liberals in 2000 and has held it ever since.)
When asked whether LeBlanc’s absence from the campaign as he recovers from cancer surgery will make a difference to Conservative chances in Beauséjour, Cormier says it’s hard to say.
“The fact remains, I know Mr. LeBlanc personally,” Cormier says. “He definitely has a big challenge, but at the end of the day, the people of Beauséjour need representation and I have to forward that belief and make sure that they are represented,” he adds.
“I wish Mr. LeBlanc all the luck in the world and I pray for him, but at the end of the day, people need representation.”

Election is a dilemma for anti-Higgs PC members

Election is a dilemma for anti-Higgs PC members
Some unhappy Tories return to the fold, while others plan to sit out campaign
It's decision time for the Progressive Conservatives in New Brunswick who were hoping to replace Blaine Higgs as leader this time last year.
With the start of the provincial election campaign less than two weeks away, the unhappy PC members must make up their minds on whether to support their party despite their dislike of its leader.
Former PC cabinet minister Jean-Pierre Ouellet, now the mayor of Haut-Madawaska, said despite his reservations about Higgs, he's voting PC because his municipal colleague, Coun. Michel Morin, is running.
"I know he's someone who will do a good job, so personally, I support the candidate, and I haven't changed my mind about the leader."

However I suspect some Maritimers would like ask Higgy et al about the letter I was referring to It is as follows
“September 11th, 2004
Dear Mr. Amos,
On behalf of Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson,
I acknowledge receipt of two sets of documents and CD regarding corruption,
one received from you directly, and the other forwarded to us by the Office of
the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.
I regret to inform you that the Governor General cannot intervene in
matters that are the responsibility of elected officials and courts of Justice of
Canada. You already contacted the various provincial authorities regarding
your concerns, and these were the appropriate steps to take.
Yours sincerely.
Renee Blanchet
Office of the Secretary
