I am am just amaze of how time flies???
I remember first setting foot in this City in 2003 and I hardly knew anyone. Look at the situation these days!
I couldn't have done it if it wasn't for a few people who got me going. Mike, Aaron and others....you know who you are..... Look at all the episodes and confrontation I went through because of my Blog?????
But of course, nothing more exciting for the Blog then Quebecois Dan Bussiere!!!
All these 15 minutes of fame would have never been possible if it wasn't for the arrogant selfish attitude of Dan Bussieres!!!!
For this I will always be VERY grateful!!!
Here's one video -
This is one of my first Picture taken for my blog -
Many people told me to shut down the Blog and move on.
Others want me to continue.
Next year in 2006, it will be 10 years I was banned by the Liberals from the New Brunswick Legislature because of a Murder suicide done by a son of a Liberal member!!!
I gained many friends because of my Blogs and made many enemies because of this so-called media Website.
I also noticed that many people dont read my Blog but they enjoy the videos!!! Especially those ones of me hunting down the Politicians on the Streets!!!
Sure came a long way from writing Letters to the Editor in the Irving media to the Talk shows.
The Blog had its good days and now its a place where people go once in a while if they hear of a News Item in the Capital.
As someone told me - People knows its there. When I'm somewhere I notice that I still attract attention and that's a good thing!!!
We sure came a long way eh...these days we have Facebook, twitter and other social media outlets.
It used to be a great place to promote the City of Fredericton but that all change once Racist and Bigot Mayor Brad Woodside ordered Google to have the Blog shut down!!!!
I now post my pictures on Facebook and Twitter!!!
I don't understand why the Mayor wanted me as an enemy but that's life and the battle will continue.
I used to spend hours in posting beautiful Pictures of this City on this Blog. I used to promote Fredericton this immediately stop that practice once the Mayor ordered my Blog shut down!!!
Fredericton is like China!!! The Police are going after certain cultures in this City and the population are too afraid to speak out.
Even my latest run in of the so-called assault case which I'm 100% not guilty!!!! It shows the battle will continue for MANY years to get rid of our Racist Police Force!!!
To labelled the citizens as Pedophiles and nothing is done about it?????
Of course, I am a much more angry person that I was 10 years ago. I saw all the BS going on and this makes me more straight forward.
Yes....THIS BLOG IS 10 YEAR OLD!!!!!!! What's going to happen during the next 10 years???? Will my health hold up????
Truly stay tuned!!!
Charles, And what a helluva ten years it has been indeed, Charlie. Your endless list of accomplishments far exceeds that of any other journalist in recent memory.
Or at least in my lifetime. You and you alone, my friend have single-handedly brought down so many people in positions of self-proclaimed elitism, it would make Sheriff Roscoe P Coltraine, Columbo, or even J Edgar Hoover himself, green with envy. Not to mention, of course, the whose who of JOURNALISM. Edward R Murrow, David Brinkley, Chet Huntly, Lloyd Robertson, Harvey Kirk, Knowlton Nash, Peter Mansbridge, and even our own well loved and well respected Steve Murphy, just to name a few.
How, on God's green earth, anyone in the journalistic field could never dream of or want to be labeled a NUISENCE, or be ordered to STAY OFF THE PROPERTY, is beyond me.
That, my good and decent friend, would be akin to a a muslim dreaming of being a martyr, Shawn Graham dreaming of winning a second term, or a few drunken maple leaf fans dreaming of winning the Stanley Cup. P-L-E-A-S-E!!! May the good Lord have mercy on us all.
Your achievements Charlie, my friend, need not be exploited any further. Everyone knows full well what you have done. It will all go down in the history and the archives of this province all that you have done and all that qualifies you for the journalism hall of fame.
And the three things that have never happened since your arrival here in our midst Charlie, are that the local constabulary has never figured you out, our beloved Bradley Woodside has never been defeated as Mayor and the maple leafs have not won the Stanley Cup. Need I say more???
Luv Ya Shitless Boobie!!! ================================================================================================================================================
Heres my first Blogs posting.... While sitting in my classroom in the late 60s! Some mysterious man walked in our class. It was the new priest who was just ordained as a Priest in the Valley of Memramcook.
He had a black hair floe and was carrying aguitar.
His name was Father Emery Brien and we all loved this man. Emery was different from other priests. Hegot a group together and played the drum and guitar inthe Church.
This was very unheard of in those day. It was called - Le Groupe rythmé de Memramcook.
Every Saturday evening, Acadians would attend the service and the main reason was to listen to these performers.
Years later, he would coach kids in hockey. In the early 80s, Father Brien was transferred to Saint Louis de Kent and a huge party <>was held in the valley to say Good bye to this fine Priest.
I might add there wasn’t dry eye in the area.
I visited Emery once or twice while he was station in his new village but after a few years, I lost touch with Father Brien. I heard that he was transferred to the Acadian coast in Nova Scotia.
I remember in the mid 90s, I just happened to be around Yarmouth and just like a blood hound, I located Father Brien.
He was giving a service and the side door of the church was open. There he was giving out the word of the Lord but he looked different. His hair was all white but he was still interesting to listen to.
During these last few years, I once again lost touch with this fine Priest until I began my protest in my tent in front of the Legislature.
I was told that Father Brien was station in the Capital! I just couldn’t believe it! I quickly phoned the Priest and he came to see me. It sure was nice to see my old friend again.
He was the main force of my protest!
As I told Bernard Lord - Father Brien told me that for the Children? I am doing the right thing!
I told Bernard - Alleluia! I have the Lord on my side! If I could have the other Lord on the same side, everything would be perfect.
During the evenings, Father Brien would come and visit me and we would discuss many different issues.
I was curious of his views on the scandal inthe Catholic Church? He reminded me if I recalled he was a hockey coach?
He told me that some Priests abuse their hold on Power. They believe they can get away with almost anything. He told me that many kids came to him for a hug. If the parents are not around, he makes certain there’s no hugging.
He will hug a child if the parents are around.It’s a darn shame that the scandal ruined it for the good Priests!
I soon found out that the life of a Priest isn’t all that great! They’re human just like us and of course they have their bad days but they must always remain in a happy mood!
I’ll never forget the time, he told the story of a couple first born who died soon after brith. Very few little word can be use in a very emotional issue like that one.
Ever since, I found out that Father Brien is located in the Capital? I have been going to church for the past one year and a half and I really enjoy my stay in the Church!
Father Brien invites the kids over to his table to say the prayer - Our
Father in Heaven and this makes it more interesting for the kids.
Once it comes time to preach to the audience? He doesn’t stay out front. He walks around the church and preached to the kids and ADULTS.
So why did I decide to write about this Priest you asked?
On Dec 19th, it would mark the 40th anniversarythat Father Emery Brien was ordained as a Priest!
I just can’t believe how times fly!
As I told Father Brien a few months ago- If I would have told him in the late 70s that one day, he’ll be stationed in Fredericton. What would havebeen his answer?
We presume that he would have said - You must be nuts!
What the odds of me being in the Capital fighting against these bureaucrats and my best friend would be the Priest! Sure makes a person wonder? What a big different since the first day that he walked into mylife in the late 60s!
I pray that Father Brien will be around for many years to come! He is truly one of the best! ================================================================================================================================================================================================================================
