Fredericton Police will be arresting many citizens this summer because of Stephen Horsman!!!
The New Brunswick government is considering making automobile drivers and passenger wear helmets.
Public Safety Minister Stephen Horsman announced yesterday that the government has formed a working group to look into the idea.
"It's being considered. We want to ensure New Brunswickers have the highest level of protection when behind the wheel. In a crash, a helmet could make a big difference," Horsmen told reporters outside the legislature.
The group includes representation from the departments of Health and Social Development, as well as the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health.
Horsman said part of the discussion will be whether or not to restrict helmets to occupants of older vehicles.
"That's certainly part of the discussion. We know that most newer vehicles have safety features such as side curtain airbags and automatic braking. So that will be part of the discussion," he said.
Ben Anderson from the New Brunswick Road and Driver Safety Association, says he supports the idea.
"We hope the eventual outcome of the study is a requirement for helmets. We already require helmets for motorcycles and bicycles. Cars are the next logical step," he said.
In addition to deciding if helmets should be mandatory, Horsman said the group will look at what kind of helmet will be required.
"We don't want people driving around with an old Gretzky style Jofa bucket and thinking they are safe," he said.
The government would likely provide helmets, at a cost, through Service NB.

This is my ADHD in action!! We start something but never finish!!! It went VERY good and I really appreciate the support from my supporters!
It was going VERY good but it suddenly stop and I never bothered to push the issue during the last few months!
Our Justice system is corrupt and I have proven this on many occasions.
The workers at the Justice system in Fredericton and the Fredericton Police are making false charge against people and there's nothing we can do.
My hearings I had before my trial which will start on May 3rd and 4th showed the Prosecutor and Police lying on the stand!
The Fredericton Police are going all out but to have a lawyer. I need another $600.00 to fight these false charge.
I am NOT GUILTY in this case and there will be a public inquiry after this Trail! Fredericton Police Chief must resign because she's the one who went out of her way to push this issue.
I also learn this is the reason WE MUST NEVER have Capital Punishment in Canada.
My God??? The Prosecutor was allow to lie during the hearing but I wasn't allow to show evidence he was lying!
Better be safe than sorry so I'm asking for help to raise the $600.00 remanding in the fund.
HERE'S A PERSON VIEWS ON THE HEARINGS -
This is the idiot who attack me on the streets but the Cops changed the story and the Judge sided with the Fredericton Police!!!! SCARY TIMES IN THE CAPITAL!!!!! You see this idiot? Run or ignore him!!!!
September 18th 2015
Hearing
New Brunswick judges hear nothing at “hearings”
Charles’ hearing on 18th September, 2015, should have been about his formal application for state funded counsel, and his motion to order production of the transcripts/audio recordings of the hearings and evidence so far. The day before the hearing Charles was served a 252 page Brief, from a lawyer in the NB Attorney General’s office (Maya Hamou), obviously filed to argue against the application. Hamou also appeared at the hearing, to argue against Charles’ application.
Ker-Ching! The cost of preparing that document, making multiple copies, and counsel appearing could have paid for many hours of legal aid representation for Charles; instead the money was spent stopping him from exercising his right to counsel.
When the judge entered the courtroom Ms. Hamou introduced herself as representing the Minister of Justice. Her documents came from the Attorney General’s office and said she was “counsel and agent” for the respondent – which is the Attorney General. The Minister of Justice is not involved. I guess the Attorney General wants to pretend this is not his responsibility, and “patsy” Stephen Horsman is there to hide behind.
The judge then read a summary of the case so far, in a very stern voice. He confirmed he would not hear the Application for state funded counsel, but Mr. LeBlanc could pursue that if the matter goes to trial, He indicated he might not be the trial judge. He also refused to hear the motion for production of the transcripts, or audios of the hearings so far. This means Charles has no access to relevant evidence, on the public court record, which he is entitled to. The judge gave no reason for simply refusing to hear those matters.
Charles also filed further submissions requesting new information to be taken into account, on his previous motions, and requesting an adjournment until he had the transcripts, because he needed the evidence to support his motions. The judge told him he was not going to pay any attention to those materials.
Another important issue Charles raised was being denied the opportunity to re-examine himself under oath, after the Crown cross-examined him on his affidavits. The judge simply refused him that right, no reason given, and kept saying: if Charles had not filed so many motions the trial would have been over by now! (Yes, and Charles would, without a doubt, have been convicted for something he didn’t do.)
Examination of witnesses is a principle of fundamental justice, as is the defence’s right to have the last word. During this most recent hearing, after Charles had cross examined the Crown witnesses, the judge asked the Crown if it wanted to re-examine – something he did not do for Charles at previous hearings. The Blogger is being treated very differently than law requires. The judge’s only reason for denying Charles his lawful rights seemed to be a drive to hurry things to trial.
The Crown called its FPF witnesses: Cst. John Lally, administrator Shawn Quartermain and S/Sgt. Matt Myers. Crown’s direct examination, of course, only asked questions that supported the Crown. When Charles cross-examined them Crown counsel objected to almost every question, saying, “That’s for trial...” The judge supported the Crown and constantly interrupted, to explain why Charles could not ask those questions. This, of course, took our ADHD blogger off course and made him question every one of his own questions, which seemed to be the desired outcome.
Some interesting facts did come out during the examinations though. One was how many senior police officers were involved, in pushing this very trivial, petty matter to a very costly charge and prosecution. After telling the Court he was “second in command of the Major Crime Unit”, Matt Myers said this complaint went to a Fredericton Police Executive Board for approval. The Executive included the Chief of FPF Leanne Fitch, the Deputy Chief and Cpl. Linda Johnson. Corporal Linda Johns was the “FPF Quality Reader” of complaints, who recommended the matter be investigated by the Miramichi police, at huge public expense.
Myers also stated he pays no regard to public costs of such investigations and is not required to, adding the police exercise their discretion, case by case, on whether matters should proceed. Charles always seems to be the one they exercise their discretion to persecute and prosecute.
At least Charles established, on the court record, Andrew Spencer decided to confront him that day and the police all agreed. They also agreed the confrontation was about an interview Charles made, with a father and son. All of the cops swore, under oath, at no time did any of them view it or obtain a copy, so see if Spencer had any reason to confront Charles. At the last three hearings Charles confirmed he wanted to play the video, to prove Spencer lied about its content. He was refused. The court clearly does not want to review any evidence that might prove this charge is a fabrication, with no evidence to support it. The court’s have a duty to resolve matters in the most cost effective, timely and just manner – which is not happening here.
This entire proceeding continues to be a vile miscarriage of justice. It is an abuse of process, waste of public money and is an insult to the Canadian Constitution. This latest fiasco, of a Kangaroo court non-hearing, is confirmation that Charles and his truth-telling blog are so important that tens of thousands of public dollars are being spent to shut him up – and stop his civil actions against the City of Fredericton from proceeding.
New Brunswick Justice is being seen for the fraud it is. As I was told recently: the only place to find justice in our Fredericton courthouse is the carved word over the entrance.
============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================= From the Irving Fredericton Paper -
Controversial blogger had ‘anonymous’ help preparing court documents
‘You better have about 10 sheriffs here’
DON MACPHERSON THE DAILY GLEANER
Charles Joseph LeBlanc admitted in court on Tuesday that he had help writing sworn affidavits and that he didn’t understand or even remember much of what was in those documents.
LeBlanc, 55, of 1-145 Westmorland St. is accused of assaulting Andrew Spencer in downtown Fredericton on July 3,2014.
He previously pleaded not guilty to the summary charge and he was back in provincial court on Tuesday for a hearing on several motions,including one for further disclosure from the Crown.
LeBlanc has a contentious history with the Fredericton Police Force, and because of that, the city police asked the Miramichi Police Force to investigate Spencer’s complaint against LeBlanc.
It did, and it recommended the assault charge, which was approved by the Crown.
LeBlanc claims the Fredericton police influenced the investigation and is looking for disclosure to back him up. He’s also filed motions to have the charge declared null and void. A hearing was scheduled in provincial court on Tuesday to hear his pre-trial motions, but LeBlanc noted his legal aid appeal was denied. He said he needed a lawyer and asked for a hearing to determine if the court could order state-funded counsel. “Are you prepared for your hearing today?”Judge Brian McLean asked him. “No,I’m not,Your Honour,”LeBlanc answered. The judge reminded him that when he granted an adjournment on May 7, the hearing would be going ahead on the next court date, regardless if he had defence counsel. “These are issues that you’ve put before the court,”McLean said.
Referring to a letter LeBlanc filed with the court, the judge pointed out that the defendant has known since May 29 he’d been denied legal aid.
The court also heard LeBlanc didn’t advise Crown prosecutor Sebastien Michaud of his failed legal aid appeal or his intent to apply for state-funded counsel.
“All I want is a fair hearing, a fair trial” LeBlanc told the court,reiterating repeatedly he needed a lawyer.
He said he’s mentally incapable of cross-examining Fredericton police officers, specifically Staff Sgt. Matt Myers, who was present in court, apparently to be called as a witness in the hearing.
“I can’t cross-examine that man,” the blogger said, calling Myers“a snake.”
“You’re the person who filed the application” the judge said.“I’m going to ask you to respect the process.”
Michaud pointed out LeBlanc has known since early May who was on the Crown’s witness list for the hearing.
McLean told LeBlanc he said nothing about being unable to face Fredericton police officers when he was last before him on May 7.
LeBlanc said it didn’t hit him until after his last court appearance.
The judge said the choice to cross-examine Fredericton police witnesses is optional.
“No one’s making you do anything,”he told LeBlanc.
The defendant, getting more and more frustrated,said he wasn’t prepared to proceed but he’d give it a shot.
“But you better have about 10 sheriffs here,”he said.
Two of LeBlanc’s supporters – Norma Christie and Sally Brooks – started speaking aloud in the gallery while court was in session,irked with the judge’s decisions and comments.
McLean told them they had to be quiet and refused to hear from Brooks. He called for the sheriff to step forward. Christie left of her own accord, and Brooks sat and stopped speaking.
During a court recess, the sheriff told the small group if any one of them spoke out again, he’d eject them all.
Over the defendant’s objections, the hearing proceeded as scheduled,with Le-Blanc relying on several sworn affidavits he’d filed with the court, laying out his arguments and facts to justify them.
Michaud said before he called his police witnesses, he wanted a chance to cross-examine LeBlanc on those affidavits.
LeBlanc initially refused to take the witness stand.
“I have the right not to incriminate myself on my ignorance of the law,”he said, reiterating he needed a lawyer.
After it was made clear the Crown would move to dismiss his motions if he didn’t submit to cross-examination, Le-Blanc agreed to testify.
“I have nothing to hide, and I’m ready to go,” the blogger told the court after a lunch recess.
One of LeBlanc’s motions was to nullify the charge, arguing it wasn’t sworn properly and shouldn’t stand.He contends the Miramichi officer who laid the information shouldn’t have done so because he wasn’t the one who investigated.
Generally, individuals who swear charges, or informations, in court are rarely those who conducted the investigations. For example, the city police liaison officer who lays and swears the vast majority of informations is responsible mainly for that, managing police court files and ensuring police witnesses are available when required.
Michaud questioned LeBlanc about his affidavits, including the one he filed for the nullity motion, asking him if he was familiar with it.
“I glanced through it,”he said.
He said he had friends who helped him prepare the affidavits.
When pressed by the Crown about who was helping him with the material, Le-Blanc refused to name names. “I won’t disclose who is helping me,”he said. When Michaud questioned him about some of the statements in those documents,he wasn’t sure what all of them actually meant. He attributed some of that to his health. “I’ve been suffering seizures, and I’m forgetting stuff,” LeBlanc said, later adding he was getting help“from people who want to remain anonymous.” The blogger briefly paused and asked the court if his refusal to identify those parties was some kind of infraction. “Am I in trouble because I don’t…?”he asked McLean.
The judge explained to LeBlanc it was relevant because he swore he knew the contents of the affidavits and believed them to be true. That others were involved in crafting them is something for the court to consider.
“You have to know that information or you don’t know that information,” Mc-Lean said.
Michaud didn’t press the issue.
LeBlanc testified the assault complaint from Spencer is connected to the city police force’s scuttled effort to charge him with criminal libel in 2012, which in turn flowed from his recording of a city police officer using force to effect an arrest years before.
“Ever since then (2012), I do not trust the members of the Fredericton Police Force,”he said.
“There’s a vendetta against you?” Michaud asked.
“Yes, no doubt about it,”LeBlanc said.
Mid-afternoon, the judge noted it was clear the court wasn’t going to get through all of the evidence, as Michaud noted he had four police witnesses – two from Miramichi and two from Fredericton – to call.
LeBlanc also complained of being mentally drained after his cross-examination and of suffering from a headache.
McLean adjourned the continuation of the hearing to Aug. 26.

The City of Fredericton rejects Sue King for the Unsung Hero award!!!!
I was so disgusted that I had to leave the building once I heard the sad News!!!
I quickly emailed the Mayor and he seem to agree she shouldn't be recognized for her work!!!
It sure looks as if this award is only for the Snobby rich!!!
Many questions about this award will come weeks and months ago.
I will be confronting the politicians on this issue.
Many people couldn't believe she was rejected.
Stay tuned!!!! More to come!!!!
P.S. I believe this is the strongest action by the City in truly showing they are Racist against the less fortunate!!! I can't wait to see the people who will be nominated!!!!
