Why the silent of the Bathurst Police shooting a Citizen at the VIA Rail Train Station????
The guy was buried almost 10 days ago and all is quiet on the front.
The question is why?
No follow up by the media...no nothing!!!
I still say it was a drug bust that went bad.....but is it still an excuse to shoot the guy????
I expected some news to come out last week but I was wrong!!!
Moi wrong??? Can you imagine that????
New Brunswick Government Plow Operator no mercy for the citizens who are shoveling their Drive way!!!
While helping a friend shoveling their drive-way, I quickly noticed a speeding New Brunswick Government Plow Operator heading towards us.?
We couldn't run away because the driveway was a skating rink.
I quickly went for my camera..< surprise? > but couldn't focus my camera on video.
You can see my friend in the snow blizzard made by the Operator.
She had the shovel on top of her head in this pic.....
Yes...no respect at all...

1. Wed, Jan. 28: Extreme Extraction: The Story of Penobsquis & the Mobilization for a Fracking Moratorium in NB and Alternatives. Extreme Extraction: The Story of Penobsquis and the Mobilization for a Fracking Moratorium and Alternatives. When: Wednesday, Jan. 28 at 4:00pm. Where: James Dunn Hall, Room G1, St. Thomas University. Penobsquis is a rural New Brunswick community affected by potash mining and gas operations. The first non-conventional gas wells were drilled in Penobsquis in the year 2000. Since then, many more rounds of seismic testing have taken place and several more wells have been drilled and fracked and a new potash mine has been built across the road from the old one. Residents blame potash mining for water wells drying up and subsidence causing damage to homes and properties and gas exploration and production for bad air days, health concerns and a decreased quality of life. Sixty homes in Penobsquis situated above the potash mine workings lost their well water in 2004. Hear from those engaged in the movement against what's being called extreme extraction and energy, including mining, fracking and the Energy East oil pipeline. Learn more about the mobilization that occurred to achieve a moratorium on fracking and the alternatives being proposed to extreme extraction and energy from those engaged in movements for a liveable future in a time of climate change. With Beth Nixon of the Concerned Citizens of Penobsquis and the Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Association; Alex Bailey of the Fredericton District Labour Council and an organizer with the Voice of the People Tour; Jim Emberger of the NB Anti-Shale Gas Alliance and Mark D'Arcy of the Fredericton Chapter of the Council of Canadians.

2. Wed, Jan. 28: Public Lecture: Global Protests and Resistance in the 21st Century by Dr. Besim Can Zirh, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey Date: Jan 28, 2015. Time: 7:00 PM-9:00 PM. Location: Ted Daigle Auditorium, Edmund Casey Hall, Fredericton. Dr. Besim Can Zirh will deliver a public talk entitled “Global Protests and Resistance in the 21st Century” on Wednesday, January 28th in the Ted Daigle Auditorium at 7:00 pm. Zirh is a visiting scholar who teaches Sociology at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. The lecture is being presented by the Global and International Studies Initiative, the Sociology Department, and the Institute for World History at St. Thomas University. In 2011, Time magazine named the “Protester” as the person of the year. Yet in many ways, the protester is actually the person of our decade. Movements of popular protest have increasingly become driving forces and integral parts of the 21st century social landscape. Zirh’s talk will examine the recent Gezi Park protests in Turkey as part of this global geography of resistance. Within the context of this urban protest movement he looks at which local, sectarian, and financial forces are involved, and why. His attempts to understand the Gezi Park Protests in Turkey as a globalized face of the newly emerging geographies of resistance. Following a police intervention in a peaceful “occupy” campaign, which was organized partly to protect a well-known park in the heart of Istanbul, a series of large-scale protests erupted in Turkey at the end of May 2013 and lasted for months. This nation-wide outpouring of mass protest was unexpected and unprecedented. It thus changed the direction of Turkish politics irreversibly. Zirh will focus his talk on this local aspect of a global phenomenon, and examine the efforts to unite or divide such popular movements. Following the lecture, Dr. Gül Çaliskan and fourth-year Sociology student Alex McGregor will offer a general overview of Global Uprisings of the 21st Century, from the 1999 Seattle WTO protests to the 2014 Ferguson demonstrations.

7. Feb. 21: Coldest Night Of The Year: A Fundraiser for Homelessness in Fredericton. February 21st is Fredericton’s inaugural Coldest Night Of The Year walk, hosted by the John Howard Society and Youth In Transition. Since 2011, this national initiative has raised $5 million for the hungry, homeless, and hurting by funding poverty-related projects in communities across Canada. This is a non-competitive, family-friendly walk with 2, 5 or 10km options. This gives participants a hint of the challenges faced by those experiencing homelessness, while raising much-needed revenue for local charities. Participants have the option to walk and fund-raise as part of a team, or individually. There is no limit to the size or make-up of your team. Teams can register at coldestnightoftheyear.org/fredericton. The John Howard Society works to reduce the causes of crime by providing education, training and employment services for youth, counselling, literacy and/or life skills programmes, and residential programmes. It also offers several long term, stable, supportive housing units for high-risk homeless, which have been a dramatic success story. Those enrolled in the program are 63% less likely to need medical emergency services or come into contact with the police, justice system, and detox services. The proceeds from Coldest Night of the Year will go to expanding this program. Youth In Transition fills a gap for clients ages 16-19, a demographic in which youth in abusive or neglectful home situations are often unable to access appropriate services and have nowhere safe to go. As one of only two facilities in New Brunswick accommodating this age group, Youth In Transition has a wider mandate than just the Fredericton area. We will need volunteers to help make this event possible: food teams to make some food and hot drinks for the walkers; registration teams to get it all set up, people to host at the rest stops along the route; people to welcome; and photographers. More information at coldestnightoftheyear.org/fredericton or email cnoyfredericton@gmail.com with any questions.

Ian Mcdonald from 72 Regent Street in Fredericton died!!
Friday, 23 January 2015
Women begged Fredericton Police to stop drunken Poet Andrew Spencer!!!
I might add this is the Fredericton Police Force main witness against me!!!!
What a bunch of Goofballs!!!!!
What's the scary part in this issue is the Cops fooled the Attorney General Office to lay these False charge!
I didn't know Cops were allowed to lie to the Legal system???
Truly stay tuned...many stories to come!!!!

Blogger Charles LeBlanc is not well and going at the Hospital!!!
P.S. IT'S A JOKE BECAUSE I LEFT THE MINISTER ALONE.....IT'S A JOKE...I AM FINE!!!!!..:)
After everything that's been going on during the past week? You would believe that I would be in a fighting mood right???
I bumped and talked to the Minister of Justice Stephen Horsman TWICE in two days and never hunted him down with my camera asking for his views on what's going on????
You know, just like in this video a few months ago -
But during the last 48 hours, I saw the Minister TWICE and never said a word.....something is VERY wrong with me...I'm going at the hospital for a check up!!!!

Blogger Charles LeBlanc forward 10 Items of disclosure to the Attorney General Today!!!!
I will not go into details of my visit to the office but it was interesting.
I can't show the disclosures but I will say that I saw the video on the CD of the Poet and he lied 36 times on his statement. < Which will be proven in Court >
One sad part was the Police intimidating the only witness who saw everything into quitting as a witness or face 14 years in jail!!
This case is getting more interesting with each passing day.
Someone IS IN big trouble and it's not me!!!
Truly stay tuned!!!!
The Assault charge against Blogger Charles LeBlanc - Different law in New Brunswick than the rest of Canada???
Police and the legal system provides such funds to witnesses and others within the legal system all the time-often even if they DON"T need it. My suggestion WAS clearly a solution if the problem is that Charles was reluctant to get into a cop car and travel to Miramichi-and I can't say I blame him for that, or not wanting to go into the fredericton police station. IF those were the only options given, then Charles refusal to talk to them is perfectly reasonable. Whether a person can pay for the bill is irrelevant-why should they?
You aren't 'entitled' to legal aid duty counsel. The provinces set the standard and they don't have to provide legal help AT ALL.
However, if charles isn't asking for a lawyer, and refusing to talk to the police, he can't really complain about them not taking his statement or not providing a lawyer.
I'm not so sure about whether they will win or lose, they probably don't care and are just trying to continue to rack up his 'history' with the police so that any time he has a legitimate complaint they can preface it with his 'record' and discredit him. Also, giving statements on a blog is not the same as giving them to the police.
As for the Bernard Richard report, there was virtually nothing that could be asked that Charles hadn't already gone over repeatedly in his blog. I sort of think it was a mistake not to talk to him just because of the perception, but it very well could have simply given Richard more 'ammunition' to target Leblanc, as he clearly did in his report. So in the end it may have been the smarter thing to do.
I think some of that 'stubbornness' does work against Charles. That seems to often be the way, but without that stubbornness he probably would have given up a long time ago, so its not really surprising.
But on his video Charles actually has a witness and the laws regarding assault are that if somebody comes at you, you have to use 'limited' force (which sadly doesn't seem to apply to police), and charles use of force seems to be clearly limited according to what his witness says. So yeah, unless the police have another witness somewhere saying something different, I don't see how this is 'assault'. Mind you, this is a province where the provincial government told Charles he would be charged with 'assault' if he even set foot on the grounds of the legislature, so clearly the 'powers that be' in New Brunswick 'be' reading a different law book than the rest of us.

But tonight I noticed a driver from ABC Taxi just sitting there waiting for a customer!!!
Old school..YES!!!!....:)
Irving Paper did a good Job covering the Blogger issues....
Fredericton’s best-known activist blogger is on the hunt for evidence that would prove his allegation that the Fredericton Police Force influenced or interfered with his assault investigation. Charles Joseph LeBlanc, 55, of 1-145 Westmorland St. made his first appearance Monday in provincial court to answer to a count of summary assault, alleging an incident involving complainant Andrew Spencer in downtown Fredericton on July 3. LeBlanc was joined by a handful of supporters in the courtroom. Though the incident leading to the charge occurred in Fredericton, the matter was investigated by the Miramichi Police Force, which also laid the charge in Fredericton provincial court. The Fredericton Police Force farmed the case out to the outside agency because it has a tumultuous history with LeBlanc. The controversial blogger told Judge Brian McLean on Monday morning he wasn’t prepared to enter a plea and that he had some questions. He first asked on the record if the disclosure package he’d already received from the Crown was complete and if the documents represented true copies of the evidence and reports. Prosecutor Cory Roberts confirmed that was the case. Then LeBlanc asked for copies of all emails between the Fredericton Police Force and its Miramichi counterpart in the case. Roberts said LeBlanc could ask the Crown prosecutors’ office and someone could look into the issue to see if there was anything available on that point. McLean adjourned the case to Feb. 16 for plea. “This has Fredericton police all over it,” LeBlanc told reporters outside the Justice Building on Monday following his court appearance. The Fredericton Police Force declined to comment on the allegation Monday. “Given the difficult and public relationship between Mr. LeBlanc and the Fredericton Police Force, at [police Chief Leanne Fitch’s] request, an outside agency was sought to assess and investigate the complaint,” spokeswoman Alycia Morehouse wrote in an email. “Miramichi police agreed to do it, therefore any questions pertaining to the investigation must be directed to them.” Sgt. Jody Whyte of the Miramichi Police Force said the Fredericton force had nothing to do with the assault probe. “It was investigated by our agency,” he said. To his knowledge, Whyte said, the Fredericton police’s only involvement in the file would have been to request the Miramichi police to conduct the investigation, to receive a heads-up about the results of the investigation and for a Fredericton officer to give a fellow officer from Miramichi a ride to LeBlanc’s home to serve him a summons for court. LeBlanc has protested the city police force’s enforcement of cycling bylaws, suggested online the force is harbouring pedophiles and steroid users among its membership, and has alleged harassment. The blogger points to his video-recording of a rough arrest effected by a member of the Fredericton force that was ultimately used as evidence against the officer in an assault trial. That officer was acquitted, but LeBlanc points to that situation as the trigger for a campaign by the force to get back at him. Members of the city police also raided his apartment three years ago and arrested him as part of a criminal libel investigation that alleged LeBlanc had unjustly smeared another one of its officers. The case was scuttled when the Crown declined to prosecute, noting constitutional issues had arisen in other jurisdictions with that particular section of the Criminal Code of Canada. LeBlanc learned last year that a document filed with his Internet service provider as part of that libel investigation referred to a child sex exploitation investigation. The police force has explained it was a clerical error, as the document used in the case is typically filed with ISPs to get evidence in child-pornography cases, not libel matters. LeBlanc has rejected that explanation, alleging the force was purposefully trying to label him a pedophile. In turn, he started suggesting on his blog that several members of the city police were pedophiles. A complaint from City of Fredericton chief administrative officer Chris MacPherson to the free hosting service owned by Google about those comments led Google to take the blog down in its entirety last year. LeBlanc has alleged the city has violated his right to free speech. He has since launched a new blog on the same free hosting service, on which he has alleged that while the Miramichi police investigated the new assault complaint, the Fredericton Police Force has had its hands all over the case as part of its alleged vendetta against him. “This is a waste of taxpayers’ money,” the blogger told reporters Monday. LeBlanc told the court he hadn’t consulted with duty counsel Monday morning, and he told reporters later he didn’t know if he’d apply for legal aid. He also noted in court his first court appearance on the Spencer assault complaint was three years to the day Fredericton police raided his apartment for the libel investigation. The blogger also pointed out the new assault charge was laid the day before the limitation for the summary charge would have run out. With a summary assault matter, police have six months from the time of the allegation to file a charge. Miramichi police laid the July 3 charge in Fredericton court on Jan. 2, which was a Friday. LeBlanc told reporters the police didn’t conduct a full investigation and didn’t ask him for his side of the story. However, he then admitted the Miramichi police did contact him for a statement, offering to meet with him either at the Fredericton police station or to drive him up to the Miramichi and back. “I didn’t feel comfortable,” he told reporters, noting he’d rather give a statement over a cup of coffee instead of in a police interview room on video.
Miramichi Police Force Tactics against Blogger Charles LeBlanc are questioned by concerned citizen in Miramichi???
Charles, Miramichi Magazine
Just watched a video from Charles LeBlanc that has this Editor shaking his head about the procedures used by the Miramichi Police Force when investigating an assault case. Mr. LeBlanc was charged with assault by our own Miramichi Police Force because Fredericton Police asked them to investigate this case. Mr. LeBlanc seems to think they (The Fredericton Police Force) have an axe to grind with him but Mr. LeBlanc claims that NOBODY from our hometown Police Force spoke to him as part of their investigation. How is that an investigation when ALL PARTIES are not interviewed?? If this claim by Mr. LeBlanc hold true than something is not completely right with the investigation methods of our police force, in my opinion, since I believe the Miramichi Police Force are beyond reproach and if Mr. LeBlanc's claims are true, than it really opens the door to this reputation becoming tainted.
