I parked in town today using the hotspot app on my phone. I purchased 45
minutes at 1312 hrs as seen on my phone (attached), meaning I was safe
until 1357.
The ticket on my window was a parking violation at 1:53 (attached), meaning it was posted 4 minutes before my expiry.
This has been done in other cities, they will write a ticket a few minutes
before or after the expiry time hopping the owner will come out a few
minutes late .
The funny thing is that I cam to my car approx 1350 hours, well before the time the ticket was dated.
Something stinks here, I wonder how many others have had this happen to them? More revenue generation on the backs of the poor?
A person must love the small Capital Town of Fredericton eh??? < Yes small Town >
I noticed the Doctor Looking at a store window. I never had a one on one with the Former New Brunswick Chief Medical Officer of Health but since she has been in the News for the past week? I decided to approached the Doctor.
Either its me Acadian Side? < Me Mother is from Scotland > or the Noel Holidays? I didn't put my video camera in her face for comments.
I will not disclose our little chat but she did tell me that I could blog her Picture with a message to the Public - I am VERY upset and I love my Job!!!
This Blogger will leave it at that....:(
Charles,
This is not the typical case that we hear about and then forget it.This is just getting started and the government and the Irvings are in for alot of pressure from a lot of different groups.There will be changes this time.If they think the rexton protest was something they were wrong.This time there will be multiple protests and blockades at the same time.Whites will standing along side the first nations people this time.Things are already in motion and this will be an interesting summer.It's time for the puppet governments of Irving to be replaced for good but for now I guess we can just fuck with them a bit till the next election.

We deserve a strong, independent public health voice in New Brunswick. Our top doctor, our public health watchdog, has been put on a forced leave by Brian Gallant's Liberal government. Her research includes how industry may, or is, affecting our health and impacting our environment.
There is a large groundswell of people in this province speaking up for the return of Dr. Eilish Cleary as New Brunswick Chief Medical Officer. Join us this Monday for the Fredericton Rally. If you can, bring an umbrella as a p
Please organize a similar rally in your own community in front of your MLA's constituency office.
Why has the Chief Medical Officer has been put "on leave" for doing her job?
The Chief Medical Officer can't do their job if they are afraid of being fired. The Chief Medical Officer needs to be able to speak independently without fear of being fired.
Dr. Eilish Cleary is an award-winning public health officer and is a world expert on communicable diseases. It is an embarrassment for New Brunswick that she has been put on a forced leave. We have a right to the best; we deserve the best. We want her back.
Dr. Eilish Cleary is one of the few independent voices left in our government. Not only does her position protect the health of our people, but her position investigates all issues contributing to health, including our natural environment and the animals that live in it.
SOME IDEAS FOR SIGNS TO BRING TO THE RALLY:
"We deserve the best. We want her back."
"We deserve a strong, independent health officer."
"Please unmuzzle Dr. Cleary."
"Let's get clear about Cleary."
"We want our health protected."
"We need to protect our chief doctor!"
It's been quite a ride to get true Justice in this case. I haven't had true Justice yet because I still say that our Justice System is VERY corrupt and needs to be investigated by Ottawa.
But we will get to that issue after this case.
From what I'm told? Over 200 people have given to the Legal Fund and for this I am VERY grateful. This old saying is so true - You know who your friends are when you're down.
It's amazing the system want this issue to go through a trial??? I promise you that the Fredericton Police Force are going to get A HUGE Black eye in this trial.
I proven during my hearings that the Cops doctored the evidence and for this? They will be sued. This is insane!!!
Anyway...if you wish to help me in reaching my $5,000 goal?

Report released Tuesday said Fredericton police should have “farmed out” libel investigation

An independent report released Tuesday afternoon said the Fredericton Police should have “farmed out” the investigation into criminal libel involving blogger Charles LeBlanc and a police officer.
“There was too much history with the force, too many incidents involving the same officer and Mr. LeBlanc was too often in the public sphere to avoid the perception that the FPF (Fredericton Police Force) could not be totally impartial in its consideration of the case,” the report read.
The report, conducted by former ombudsman Bernard Richard on behalf of the City of Fredericton, made seven recommendations to the city and the police.
One of those recommendations included using the existing New Brunswick Integrated Investigation Team to look into any future matters involving police officers where the public’s confidence in the Fredericton Police Force could be at stake.

“Of all seven recommendations, I fully embrace them. They are certainly sound and fair recommendations. I see this as an opportunity to improve our service delivery, improve how we respond to certain challenges that our officers face everyday …” said Acting Fredericton Police Chief Leanne Fitch.
The review was launched in June after the Canadian Civil Liberties Association wrote to the Fredericton Police Chief earlier in the year with concerns about LeBlanc’s arrest, the search of his home and the seizure of his computer as well as the pending charges of criminal libel.
Many others also voiced concerns with the investigation and charges including a group of professors from the University of New Brunswick that wrote a letter to the Attorney General addressing three jurisdictions that found section 301 of the Criminal Code, the criminal libel portion, unconstitutional.
The Crown told the Fredericton Police in April that they couldn’t pursue the charges, relating to comments LeBlanc made on his blog in July 2011.
Other recommendations that came out of the report included a suggested change in search warrants which involve computer data. Richard’s report also recommended offering support for members of the police force that are targets of unfair and potentially harmful criticism.
“It is a delicate balance, but I certainly take the recommendation that our officers veins, flesh and blood. They too can be victimized in our communities and it’s important they receive the level of support that they need and deserve,” Fitch said.
Three recommendations involved how the police deal with mental health.
The three recommendations were to provide “enhanced mandatory training on dealing with emotionally disturbed persons,” include staff with expertise in dealing with mental health issues, and develop a policy for responding to those with mental health issues. This included a section that would deal with managing communications when clients publish false and/or libellous information.

LeBlanc said he’s “disappointed” with the report.
“It’s been a very emotional fight. When you get 8 or 10 cops coming to your door, it’s scary. I haven’t been the same Charles LeBlanc and I probably never will be, but they made it sound like, ‘Oh my God, this poor person has a mental disorder.’”
LeBlanc said he has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but “doesn’t see anything wrong with that.”
When asked if he thought the report further stigmatized mental health problems, he said, “I think it’s disgusting.”
LeBlanc declined invitations from Richard to speak with him for the report. The police officer involved also turned down the chance to give a statement to Richard.
Fredericton Mayor Brad Woodside also said he and the city have accepted the recommendations.
“With you [Richard] and the reputation that precedes you, I feel that we have dealt with this fairly and that’s all that council has wanted from the outset. And you delivered. And I appreciate that.”
Fitch said the police will be following up on the recommendations.
A lady in every sense of the word, Charlie, who has deep concerns for her husband. But by the same token, like any other freak of nature, she finds herself staring down the barrel of who??? Why the commissioner of official languages of course. This self-centered English language bigot, my friend, has made it abundantly, abundantly clear to all who choose to sit up and take notice, that she, (the language commissioner), does not like anglophones, never did like anglophones, and never will like anglophones, and thus, can take her language commission and SHOVE IT UP HER ASS, for ever and ever AMEN!!!! Put HER out in the parking lot for a few months after Christmas and see how f----n' happy she would be to get her serlf-righteous stockins' back inside and THAW THINGS OUT A LITTLE!!!!
I NO LONGER POST PICTURES IN LARGE AMOUNT ON BLOG BECAUSE THE CITY OF FREDERICTON ARE PLANNING TO HAVE THIS BLOG SHUT DOWN ALSO!!!...GO TO MY FACEBOOK FOR PICTURES!!!!
Pam Lynch read this statement this morning in the New Brunswick Legislature!!!
Mr. Speaker,
I am absolutely disgusted that we are now into December and Commissionaire Wayne Grant is still working outdoors. This is disgraceful. It was the Gallant government that changed the rules at the Centennial Building that put Mr. Grant outside. It is only the Gallant government that can return Mr. Grant to his former status by changing the rules back. And that is exactly what the Gallant government must do. Further, they must apologize to Mr. Grant and compensate him for the financial hardship that he suffered. Anything less will be unacceptable to all who believe in the principles of justice, fairness, and compassion.
I might add Pam Lynch letter to the Editor was denied by the Irving media -
Charles,
This is my Commentary that was submitted to the Daily Gleaner on November 8th, however, they chose not to print it. You will find it in this month's Grand Lake Mirror. I want my Constituents to know that I did not agree with the way this was handled by the Language Commissioner in any way.
Government without fairness and compassion
Watching the language commissioner’s news conference on Friday November 6th ignited my feelings of apprehension and frustration.
My constituents tell me they see Wayne Grant, a 64-year old man working for low wages, being bullied by a very highly paid bureaucrat. Worse, they see the specter of heavy-handed language police running rough-shod over the people; much like they do in Quebec. One can understand these sentiments.
No-one can convince me that this is the New Brunswick envisioned by Premiers Richard Hatfield, Louis Robichaud and all those who have worked to bring equality, understanding and harmony to our two linguistic communities. We are going in the wrong direction.
While the language commissioner has become the lightning rod for this issue, the Gallant government cannot be held blameless. Because it is the Gallant government that changed the rules so that commissioner Wayne Grant cannot return to his previous post inside the Centennial building. It is the Gallant government that sentenced this man, so close to retirement, to sit outside in the cold, rain and snow; if he wishes to continue working in downtown Fredericton, as he has for so many years.
You will note that Premier Gallant has tried to distance himself from the language commissioner. As premier of our province, it is time for him to stop dodging the issue and, in the name of fairness, to show some leadership.
Gallant’s Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure is also complicit, because it was his department that reacted in a panic when the language commissioner served notice that she was launching an investigation. It was his department that changed the rules for the Centennial Building that threw Mr. Grant’s life into chaos, without ever being granted the opportunity to face his accuser or having the benefit of due process. In fairness to the civil servants who likely made these choices, it appears they were led to believe by the language commissioner that a third party had laid the complaint. This apparently deceptive action has not found its way to the center of the discussion, but it will in time.
It was the Gallant government that changed the rules that put Mr. Grant outside. It is only the Gallant government that can return Mr. Grant to his former status by changing the rules back. And that is exactly what they must do. Further, they must apologize to Mr. Grant and compensate him for the financial hardship that he suffered. Anything less will be unacceptable to all who believe in the principles of justice, fairness, and compassion.
What I found most troubling about the language commissioner’s press conference was her utter lack of empathy for Mr. Grant. When the language commissioner was asked by the media what she would say to Mr. Grant if she saw him, she had the opportunity to say that she felt sorry for how her actions had impacted his life. She had the opportunity to show some compassion. Instead, her cheeky response was cold and callous, thereby telling us all we need to know to judge her actions. She replied “I would say hello, bonjour.” to the chuckles of the media.
In the matter of language commissioner Katherine D’Entremont , perhaps it is time we all said “GOODBYE, AU REVOIR “
