Tragedy avoided on the Walking Bridge by inches. I was riding my bicycle heading towards the Southside.
I noticed a family with a little girl on a bike in front of me.
I passed then I came face to face with these two black guys FLYING while listening to their headphones.
I MEAN FLYING!!!!
I taught I was going to hit him head on. Thank God..I didn't taje a right. I just stayed exactly where I was while the father < I think > gave the black guy a kick.
I just don't know how a tragedy was avoided a few hours ago. I'm not sure if it's the same guy who sings away on the streets.

Poor optics for Irving newspapers in Sisson, First Nations editorials!!!!!
Propping up business interests in the province of New Brunswick in their editorials should not come as a surprise to any reader of The Daily Gleaner or The Telegraph-Journal but the newspapers crossed a line in their editorials on July 4 (‘Poor optics of mine opposition’) and July 5 (‘Chiefs should not complain’).
The Daily Gleaner accused First Nations of ‘poor optics’ when it told First Nations of the province that they should not have signed accommodation agreements with the provincial government over the Sisson project, one of the world’s largest open-pit mines proposed near Stanley on traditional Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) territory. The compensation for the open-pit mine was accepted after the provincial government threatened to cancel other tax agreements that First Nations depend on for the delivery of social services.
The claim that First Nations should not have signed the agreement if they remained opposed to the mine obviously implied that First Nations were thankless and greedy.
This stereotype has been mobilized persistently in New Brunswick history to degrade First Nations communities and to undermine support amongst non-Indigenous New Brunswickers. It perpetuates racist stereotypes that are the product of colonial institutions, which limit the agency of First Nations to determine their future.
These stereotypes have no place at all in the public life of the province in 2017.
Besides being obviously offensive in its paternalism, the editorial failed to explain why the Wolastoqiyik First Nations signed accommodation and tax agreements over the Sisson project. Madawaska Chief Patricia Bernard set the record straight following the poor media coverage of the inking of these agreements that led people to believe that Indigenous people of the province were suddenly in favour of the mine.
Chief Bernard explained to CBC on Feb. 13, 2017 that the New Brunswick government threatened to cancel tax deals with her band and other First Nation communities if they did not sign an agreement on the Sisson mine. (The CBC article problematically describes the tax deals as ‘lucrative’ when in fact they are modest and barely cover the needs of communities that have been kept in poverty for generations by failed Canadian policies). The Wolastoqiyik did not have a veto over the mining project, because their sovereignty has yet to be proven in Canadian courts. These same courts regularly uphold the private property rights of mining prospectors on disputed lands.
The First Nations need the funds from gas, tobacco and sales taxes to pay for essential services in their communities. Chief Bernard made it clear back in February that she and other Chiefs continue to oppose the proposed mine.
