Penobsquis - Getting Justice
Écrit par Greta Doucet Mercredi, 15 Février 2012 23:08
I've talked to the people in Penobsquis who have been affected by the subsidence that is damaging their property and the water problems that now costs them money. It is pure hell what those folks are going through and it is totally unacceptable.
I would support with my last breath the compensation of folks from Penobsquis. The Green Party stands by me on this. I feel for folks who cannot trust anymore their government. It is a very sad state of affairs and absolutely needs to change.

We must empower N.B.'s many communities
By Jack MacDougall
I have just returned from travelling to several communities in the northern part of the province. It has been a pretty depressing experience.
As I drove into the Miramichi, the gigantic former paper mill looks like a 20-tonne bomb hit the place. It is a decrepit reminder of a failed and expensive public policy to finance and subsidize multinational corporations. After squeezing every last dime and concession out of the taxpayers, there is only heartache left behind.

What will we leave to our grandkids?
By Jack MacDougall
Last summer, my daughter Kathleen brought into our family our first grandchild, Oscar. I think I was even more amazed than I was with our own first child, Margaret. I simply could not stop staring at him and begging my turn to hold him. He was beautiful. Last week, we celebrated his first birthday and he has turned into a real person. He is starting to walk, jabber and laugh. It may well have been one of the happiest years of my life thus far.

In the upcoming election, the people of New Brunswick will have at least one new choice on their ballots, the Green Party of New Brunswick.
I must first explain my own transition to the Green message. I had a good career with the Liberals for many years. I was involved in several campaigns, including all of Premier Frank McKenna's, Clyde Wells of Newfoundland's first campaign and several of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien's. I believed that I would always be a Liberal, but eventually had my fill of politics and searched for a new direction in life. I returned to university to qualify to become a teacher.

Pendant des années le Nouveau-Brunswick a enduré les pires sections de la Transcanadienne. Il y survenait régulièrement d'horribles accidents qui ont causé des pertes de vie et de sérieuses lésions. Les camionneurs craignaient voyager non seulement au Nouveau-Brunswick, mais aussi en Nouvelle-Écosse, à Terre-Neuve et à l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard parce qu'ils devaient passer par le Nouveau-Brunswick pour se rendre dans ces provinces.
