Fredericton Councillor Jordon Graham was watching the show from a distance. He's the youngest Councillor to be elected in Fredericton.

Many students were wondering what would he do? Which way would he vote?

He decided to give a little speech to the citizens.

New Councillor Stephen Hicks voted to move Acadian Bus line from the Downtown area. I was surprise because he works with trouble youths and many of them would need the bus to travel out of the City. I wonder if he'll pay their cab fare to travel way out over the hill? I believe someone from his ward made a presentation pleading Council not to move the location of the Bus line.

The situation was getting a little heated.

I noticed Fredericton Deputy Police Chief Leanne Fitch on her Blackberry.

Many students will not be able to afford the Taxi fare to that new location in nowhere land.

Many people are saying that Tim Horton's will benefit from this.

Well? During the cold windy winter months? It still will be way too far for a coffee.

Yes, the three Councillors who voted against this move did well and will be rewarded during the next Municipal Election.

This is twice Council went against students concerns. I see some very interesting issues coming up during the next Municipal election.

So? Fredericton is now known as the City without a Bus service in the Downtown area!!!

Shame...shame...shame....

P.S. I predict future problems with the new location because the Citizens in that area don't want the Bus line in their neighborhood!!!

There are no sidewalks so I expect some protests!!!

Charles gives a little walk to kid who's bike was stolen by a scumbag!!!

Remember this blog I wrote last weekend -

LETS CATCH THIS SCUMBAG!!!!

reward-v215757

Charles, Ryan's bike was stolen this afternoon while he was swimming with Denise at Henry Park Swimming Pool. He is heartbroken, it was the only thing that he had left from Toronto and he's so upset. I could just cry. Can you put this on your blog so that if anyone sees it around town tonight that they can report it to the police. Denise has made an incident report with the Fredericton City Police, File #14548, but you know it's going to be some intrepid citizen who sees it first before the police, as this is not a high priority and I can't blame them.

Please help.

Any info?

Send me an email at

oldmaison@yahoo.com

Here's an update -

I saw little Ryan and he was playing alone with his coloring books.

Sad to see the little guy without his little bicycle.

I told the babysitter I will take the little boy for a walk around the City to cheer him up.

Had a little fun!!!


img_2894

I will admit walking with the kid turned many heads. The kid noticed that I was a popular guy in the Downtown area. < For all the wrong reasons > ...:P

Some MLA'S shouted- If that your little one???

I shouted back - He's going to be a future Blogger and he's going to drive future MLA'S nuts like I'm doing!!!

lol

Showed him around -

We went to Tim Horton's and I bought the little guy a Chocolate Dip.

I decided to have our little snack at the Centennial building < as I always do for a few minutes per day >

Here comes the funny part!!!

Once at the counter, Premier Shawn Graham came to chat with me.

It's a darn shame the Premier decided to take the Fascist route to convict the less fortunate in this Province because he has a great personality.

I quickly suggested to the Premier that he pose for a picture with the kid.

Shawn decided to come out. I told the kid - You're going to have your picture taken with the Premier of the Province!!!

He didn't know the Premier or what he was all about????..lol

I took a pic -

img_2889

The Premier as he does on many occasions began chatting with the kid.

At the last second, I decided to do a video so the young fella could have it as a souvenir in future years.

I hope you enjoy the short youtube. It's a classic!!!..lol

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING ABOUT THIS BLOGGER????

در روزنامه ی متروی دیروز خبری توجهم را جلب کرد. نگاهی به رسانه های فارسی زبان انداختم اما هیچ نشانی از بازتاب آن در آنها ندیدم. بد ندیدم متن خبر را در اینجا بگذارم. خودش گویاست:

بالا رفتن خطر دستگیری وبلاگ نویسها

محققین گزارش داده اند: تعداد وبلاگ نویسهایی که بازداشت می شوند رو به افزایش است.

از سال ٢٠٠٣ مجموع ۶۴ وبلاگ نویس به خاطر نشان دادن فساد، نقض حقوق بشر ودر اختیار داشتن و نشر اطلاعات حساس/ محرمانه بازداشت شده اند.
بیش از نیمی از بازداشتها در چین، مصر و ایران اتفاق افتاده است، محققین اعلام کرده اند.
در یک مورد، هانگ کویی Huang Qi ،یک معترض چینی به خاطر یادداشتهای اعتراض آمیزش نسبت به عکس العمل دولت چین در قبال زلزله ی ماه گذشته در چین که ٧٠٠٠٠ کشته به جا گذاشت، بازداشت شده است.
همچنین محققین با توجه به فیلتر شدن و تحت کنترل بودن اینترنت در حدود ۵٠ کشورمی گویند این تنها می تواند بخش کوچکی از آمار حقیقی باشد.
این گزارش می افزاید:(( پیش بینی می شود که تعداد وبلاگ نویسهای بازداشتی در سال ٢٠٠٨ افزایش یابد. میزان محبوبیت یافتن وبلاگها رو به افزایش است و می تواند امیدی باشد برای پوشش دادن بیشتر به اینگونه بازداشتها.))
این تحقیق که بوسیله ی دانشگاه واشنگتن در امریکا انتشار یافته است نشان داده است که آقای هانگ، پایه گذار یک وبسایت حقوق بشر به نام ۶۴ تیانونگ 64Tianwang
، به علت فاش ساختن و در اختیار داشتن اسرار دولتی بازداشت شده است. این اتهام معمولآ برای تحت فشار قرار دادن و بازداشت مخالفان مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد.


شارون هام Sharon Hom، دیده بان حقوق بشر در چین می گوید: این نمونه ی دیگری است از اینکه چگونه کسی که تلاش برای کمک کردن می کند می تواند در تله ی بازداشت به خاطر قانون اسرار دولتی چین بیافتد.
این استفاده از قانون به عنوان شمشیری بر علیه حقوق افراد در تناقض با گزارش وجود رسانه های گروهی آزاد در چین بعد از زلزله قرار دارد.

روزنامه ی مترو. چهارشنبه 18 جون 2008
بعد‌التحریر:
اما درست همین الان پیش از پست مطلب بد ندیدم که لینکی به مطلب اصلی نیز بگذارم. گشتی در اینترنت زدم و آنرا یافتم و در مقایسه دیدم که بخشهایی از مطلب اصلی در خبر بالا نیامده است. برای کامل‌تر شدن مطلب نکات مهم‌اش را خیلی سردستی ترجمه کردم که می‌توانید در ادامه بخوانید:
رکورد بیشترین بازداشتها در سال ٢٠٠٧ ثبت شده است، سه برابر تعداد ثبت شده در سال ٢٠٠۶.
در عکس‌العمل به این بازدداشتها تعداد زیادی از وبلاگ‌نویسها به مخفی‌نویسی روی آورده‌اند. آنها یا به طور ناشناس می‌نویسند و یا از ابزارهای آنلاین دیگری چون My Space و YouTube برای ارسال یادداشتهای انتقادی‌شان استفاده می‌کنند.
احتمالآ تعداد بلاگرهای بازداشت شده بسیار بیشتر است چرا که در کشورهایی مانند چین، زیمبابوه و ایران این موارد به رسانه‌های گروهی گزارش نمی‌شوند.
در مجموع در طی پنج سال گذشته در تمام جهان وبلاگ‌نویسها ٩۴٠ ماه را در زندان گذرانده‌اند. در این دوره میانگین دوران حبس برای روزنامه‌نگاران ١۵ ماه بوده است.
کشورهای زیادی وبلاگ‌نویسهای سیاسی دارند و همچنین روزنامه‌نگاران آزاردیده. مردم بیشتر و بیشتر به نوشتن اینترنتی روی می‌آورند و بیشتر مجازات می‌شوند.
میزان مجازاتها متفاوت است از حداقل چند ساعت تا حدااکثر هشت سال.
در سال ٢٠٠۵، مجتبا سمیعی‌نژاد، یک وبلاگ‌نویس ایرانی به علت نوشتن درباره‌ی بازداشت دیگر وبلاگ‌نویسان بازداشت شد. بعضی افراد به محض آزادی از زندان شروع به نوشتن درباره‌ی بازداشتشان می‌کنند.
در کشورهای دمکرات مانند انگلستان و آمریکا، تعدادی بازداشت به علت پست مطالب پورنوگرافیک و یا نژاد‌پرستانه صورت گرفته است. با این همه حتا در کشورهای دارای دمکراسی مانند کانادا وبلاگ‌نویسها برای مطالبی که خیلی‌ها آنها را در چهاچوب آزادی بیان طبقه‌بندی می‌کنند بازداشت شده‌اند.به عنوان مثال، چارلز لبانس Charles Leblanc کانادایی برای قرار دادن عکسهای یک اعتراض در وبلاگش بازداشت شد.
این تحقیق توسط فیل هاوارد Phil Howard دستیار پروفسور دانشگاه واشنگتن در رشته‌ی ارتباطات با همکاری دانشجویانش انجام گرفته است. تکیه آنها بیشتر بر منابع در دسترس مانند تلویزیون٬ رادیو٬ اخبار و اطلاعات اینترنتی بوده است.

Fredericton Police Officers VS Anti-Abortionists this morning!!!

img_2720


Last week, I was told by a Anti-Abortionist protester that the Police have been making a presence at their Protest.

For you newcomers? These Anti-Abortionists have been protesting for years on every Tuesday morning.

So? As the good Catholic that I am? I told the individual that I promise to be there next Tuesday morning.

I haven't been there for over one year.

I almost forgot about it.

But this morning, I was out the door at 7:00am!

Once there, I noticed a few people and everything was quiet. I decided to do what I do best and that's taking pictures!!!

Many of these protesters come from outside the City. They didn't know this Blogger so they were very uncomfortable watching a guy taking pictures.


img_2637img_2638img_2639img_2642img_2643img_2644img_2645img_2646img_2712img_2702img_2701

These protesters were a quiet bunch. They walked in silent and pray for the children who never had a chance in life. They didn't stop nobody walking by or stood still on the sidewalk. They just walk around in silent.

They're professionals.

Suddenly, a worker came to the stairway and gave the protesters a dirty look.


img_2693


Her attention was towards a protester. < I'll get to that later >

Someone said- The Cops will soon be here!!!

I decided to go on top of the garage across the Street.

Hey? If there's going to be action? I would have the perfect viex.

Once I made up there < Have to quit smoking > It didn't take long for the Fredericton Police Force to arrive at the scene.

img_2651img_2653img_2660img_2669

Then a second Police Cruiser arrive!!!


img_2682


Seconds later, a third Cruiser came to the scene!!


img_2685img_2687

At this point, all of my ADHD brains were flying!!!

What to do? Stay up here? Continue to take pictures? More youtubes??

But if there's a confrontation? I would be way too far from the scene to hear the voices.

I decided to run down and focus on the confrontations.


img_2692img_2695img_2696

I missed the first confrontation. It happened very fast while I was running downstairs in the Parking garage.

A second confrontation happen.

img_2706

Wish to know what the issue was all about???

It was this poster!!!

img_2754

The officer told the Protester is wasn't the right place to show off their poster especially when there are kids walking around with their parents. < or driving by >

Here's a youtube of the individual who was almost arrested!!!


Click below -



So? Who's right and who's wrong in this case???

Shouldn't the picture be freedom of expression????

One individual told me that if the kids were offended by the picture? What about the kids attending a Gay Pride Parade????

Good point!!

Here's some more pictures.

img_2726img_2736img_2734img_2733img_2731img_2728img_2725img_2742img_2756img_2755

At one point a young beautiful woman walked out from the Clinic. The regular protesters knows once a stranger leaves the Killer Clinic.

They told me she just had an abortion!!!

She didn't look sad or in pain. < I didn't take a picture. Privacy >

I waited and waited for someone to protest with that picture so I could be there as a witness for the arrest.

But none of the protesters wanted to go to jail.

I waited for over one hour but no action.

P.S. The members of the Fredericton Police Force treated me very well. We shared some funny stories.....

lol

At one point, I told the Police Officers. Many people say that I'm getting arrested for attention. Since I'm against Abortion? I should take that poster and protest on the sidewalk!!!

You should have seen the facial expression on the Officers faces???

lol

I quickly followed up by saying- Just Kidding...just kidding...just kidding!!!

lol

Yes, we are very lucky to live in Canada where people on both side of the Abortion issue can protest without any fear of being shot at!!!!

Makes me proud to be a Canadian.

My many prayers goes to all the little babies who never had chance to experience Life as we know it!!!

Son in law of former MP Gerry Merrithew Gil Martin died!!!

merrithew_gerald_file

Just received this email -

Hello Charlie,
I am not sure if you realized that the guy who got killed in Springfield was Gil Martin from the Dry Dock. My brother told me that he was coming home from Nova Scotia on his motorcycle and avoided a deer. He was also the son in law to Gerry Merrithew. He was married to his daughter. Very nice people, very, very sad! My thoughts are with his family.

Yes, Gil was a giant at the Shipyard.

I met him in 1980 and he was the Paul Bunyan of the workers. He must have been close to 7 foot tall.

Very sad.

I'll never forget the old days, when people voted for Shop Stewarts with a show of hands.

He ran for Shop Stewart and once his name was called? A few raised their hands in support.

Gil quickly stood up in front of the crowd to look who wouldn't vote for him.

At that second, everyone raised their arm in support of Gil. They were scared shitless!!

lol

The next meeting, it was voted that all elections will be in secret ballot!!!

lol

Yes, Gil was one of the best!!!

My sympathy to the family!!!

I attended the meeting at the Library last week and it was heated.

Check out the youtubes I made -

Rough crowd!!!




















So? The citizens are very upset with our elected officials.

Councillor David Kelly went to the media and told them that he supported the move of Acadian Bus Line from the Downtown Core.

David Kelly never showed up at that meeting last week.

Now we come to his Brother Stephen Kelly.

I noticed the guy in the Downtown area last week. He began chatting with a woman.

I just let them chat for a few minutes.

I asked- What's your views on the Acadian Bus Line issue?

He told me that he'll speak at the proper time.

I asked again for his views and he just walked away from me.

Well? It's up to anyone who don't wish to discuss the Acadian Bus Line issue with this Blogger.

But there's only one itty bitty problem with this issue.

Stephen Kelly is my Councillor in my ward. So therefore this changes everything.

I voted for the guy but I don't think I will in the future.

Maybe Stephen Kelly is telling the citizens in the Downtown area to use a Bicycle to get to the new location in nowhere line!!
