Let's see...the Kinder Morgan pipeline is dead. So us taxpayers are picking up the tab for those poor, misunderstood capitalists?
Actually, those fearless, enterprising capitalists always have their hands in our pockets - from skipping out on taxes to getting massive handouts. In Quebec, Bombardier has been in into the till for over 2 billion dollars of public money in the last couple of years. I would be most interested to see how much Irving has hit New Brunswick for over the past couple of years. But I'm not likely to find that out from the irving press.

Blaine Higgs, August 29 paper, says carbon tax is the major issue. This is a statement appearing August 29 in the irving press.
Mr. Higgs - in a democracy, political parties do not decide what the issues are. Voters do that. You and your Conservative party are supposed to have a broad platform based on your party philosophy - if you have one. Alas! Neither you nor the Liberals do have any philosophy of any sort. So what the voters get in New Brunswick is a choice between the trivialities chosen by Conservative and Liberal parties that have no philosophy, no goals (except to get elected). Both parties see running a government as similar to running a business office - keeping things running smoothly while making the 'boss' happy. And we all know who the 'boss' is.
Politics is not about that. It's about a party's philosophy of what it must to do represent social needs of the whole society. As an historian, I can tell you that neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives, in all of Canadian history, have ever represented any such thing.
In any case, Mr. Higgs is lying. Not only are the Conservatives and Liberals running on no social philosophy at all. The Conservatives are being less than honest in saying the big issue is the carbon tax when the real big issue for the Conservatives is fracking.
Conservatives and Liberals of New Brunswick, you are not telling the truth and, together, you are conducting the most brainless campaign I have ever seen.

Yes, we sometimes should criticize Israel. It has stolen huge areas of Palestinian land and homes. It refuses to allow legal trade to reach Palestine. It has killed large numbers of Palestinians. It has created mass poverty in Palestine. It cuts off electricity to Palestine (including to schools and hospitals) for hours of each day. The large Palestinian population of Israel is treated as second-rate, forced to live in inferior districts at low pay. And now, the U.S. is cutting aid to a Palestine which is already suffering terribly.(Of course, the U.S. continues to give thousands of times that aid to an Israel which finds it useful to buy aircraft and bombs to drop on Palestinian schools.) And anybody who dares to criticize Israel is branded as a neo-Nazi.
Yes, the suffering of Jews in World War Two was terrible. But it wasn't caused by Palestinians who are now being treated by Jews as Jews had been treated by Naziis. And anyone who tells the truth about this runs into an Israeli-organized attack by the so-called Israeli lobby.
For criticizing Israel treatment of Palestinians, I has fired from a radio job, and replaced by the local leader of the Israeli lobby. Then I was fired from a 14 year old job speaking to a large, Jewish group - and replaced by that same lobbyist.
In fact, a growing number of North American Jews are turning against the behaviour of Israel. They certainly recognize that what Hitler did was wrong. But they also understand it's wrong when Israel does it.

We have been warned. We have, maybe, ten years to deal with climate change. Since that warning, we haven't done a damn thing. And now Trump is going wild for coal, a major killer.
Seriously, we have to wonder, at least, about the intelligence of our economic bosses. Greed, long evident, is one thing. Extreme stupidity is another. Now, the irvings want fracking in a world that has, at best, ten years to deal with climate change.
There's no point in asking Mr. Higgs about this. That's like talking to a ventriloquist's puppet. Maybe Mr. Irving would make a public statement about this?
No. Not likely. He uses the Higgs of this world to talk to us peasantry.

There is nothing remote about the wars being prepared in the middle east. The U.S seems to be planning to move in even more. But China and Russia have drawn a line in the sand. And this would be a confrontation that the U.S. (and quite likely nobody) can win.

For New Brunswick, we have very little time. Our part of the world, like most parts, is controlled by greed and stupidity. That will, of course, eventually destroy the greedy and stupid - But not until they have destroyed us.
We have very, very little time to act.
No dammit. That's not enough. We are living in the most dangerous time in world history. Our lives are governed by a tiny group of the world's richest and greediest. We've seen this before - as in the medieval aristocracies with people of the same greed and stupidity.
The difference now is that it's world wide - and in a world filled with weapons of the final destruction. The U.S. has a leader who is destroying our environment with great joy - and with scarcely a work of criticism. Coupled with that, the U.S. is on an economic suicide dive that will destroy it - and probably do so very soon.
Of course, it may be even quicker. The American wealthy have been deliberately destroying the income of most of the population. That is why so many responded to Trump's call to what is, essentially, fascism which, of course, has changed nothing. And this same fascism is moving into Canada.
Along with this, Canadians have to realize that to the U.S. ruling class (not, not the Democrats or Republicans) Canada is just another place to be plundered. We are in very great danger of becoming an American target - soon. And count on the Canadian wealthy to be on the American side.
We blew it all in 1945. We let the rich and greedy and stupid rule the world. Now, the rich and greedy and stupid are destroying themselves along with us. And New Brunswick's response is, to put it kindly, feeble in a provincial election that barely qualifies as farce.
