Quebecois - itttt issss nnoott mmyy Duuttyyy!!!

Last night was a bad evening for some damage in the Downtown area.

This morning while walking toward the Farmer's Market, I noticed this not so pretty picture.




The time was around 11:00am so it must have been there for a long time.

It was on Brunswick Street and tht is one of the busiest area in the City.

I tired to move it on my own but no luck.

I asked one guy if he had some muscle?

He answered- Ittt iss noot myy Duutyyy and quickly walked by.

I quickly recognized a French accent.

I quickly replied- Tu parles Francais? D'ou viens-tu?

His answer- Je viens de Quebec!!!

I shot back by saying- With your ignorance this don't surprise me!!! < En Francais of course! >

He continue to mumble something and continued...I took one picture...



I asked another guy and it wasn't his fault that he couldn't give me a helping hand because he had a bad back. He wanted to give it a shot but I told him I'll be Ok!!!

Then this Giant walked by. The guy is from British Columbia. Much more friendlier than Le Quebecois.



It didn't take long to move the bench to its place.

To the Maudit Quebecois? Oui c'est pas ton Duuttyyy...retourne back dans ta Province!!!!





:P

Fredericton Police Force in action at Midnight last during the Clubs scene!!!

Don't know the details but enjoy the youtube I took last night!!!

I will add that someone told me yesterday < before this > there wasn't as many fights after the Clubs hours as past years.

Compared to Moncton and Saint John? The Cops are doing a good job keeping the peace.

I'm not being a kiss ass. I'm just saying it as it is. I saw many bloody fights in years past.

They have a good system. They are lined up across the street and watch every individual in the area.

If someone gets out of control? They quickly move in.

AS a matter of fact? I wrote a blog on this issue last year.

Cops control drunken citizens after club hours

P.S. One point od concerns that many citizens don't understand.

Just like in Saint John when 40 protesters crash Atlantica. I was the only one taking pictures. If the protesters would have assaulted the Police officers?

I would have given my pictures as evidence.

Same goes with the youtube. If the guy would have assaulted the Police? My video would have been great evidence.

It goes for both sides.

Comprendnice????

A reader has a question about the Fredericton Convention Centre???

Charles,

How ya doing? Good to see you the other day, i was busy, and things are kinda messy lately.

Just wondering....what have you heard about the convention Center..who will be running this multi million dollar deal? What experience do they have? Will this be yet another out of province group, or did the City suddenly feel they are smart enough to do what the Multi nationals like Delta can do?

Must have missed the boat on this one, as i don't know what is going on...i worry about a huge white elephant, look at the Olympic west coast scandal situation! I haven't seen anything on your Blogsite much to this end of business, so thought you may know much more than I on this!

And YES, bring on summer , for God's sakes,, its like July..thats right July 17 already, gross rainy, mosquito, lack of sun days, whew, enough allready!! Take it cool!!

Another Pain in the Ass Blogger on the loose in Fredericton???

Sad day in Journalism!!!

My deepest sympathy to his family!!!

Typical day in Fredericton New Brunswick!!!

My perfect shot!!!!

If New Brunswickers had a chance to do it all over again??? What would they do???

Myself? I will admit that I never believe that I would see the day that the Liberal Party would support a Fascist agenda against New Brunswickers.

I guess Bernard Lord wasn't that bad after all!!!

:P

Revolution CEO Derek Riedle lands 30 million Dollars contract by the Shawn Graham Government!!!

Fredericton Council vote to remove Acadian Line from the Downtown area! Does this send a message Universities students are not welcome? Ward failed??

Sorry for the delay, I got caught up in other issues.

I showed up for Monday decision on the Acadian Bus line to move from the Downtown area.

You could hear the noise from blocks away.

I knew they are strong activists but I didn't know they could sing???



Not bad if you ask this blogger.....

Click below for youtubes -






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.



It began to rain so I had to put my camera under the umbrella.

Click below for his speech.




Irving journalist Heather Mclaughlin was taking notes. She's the watch dog at City Hall!!



It was raining but the speeches continue!!!!




Everyone gathered inside for the Big vote!!!!

Once inside the meeting began and I was surprise to see the posters hanging from the gallery. I had a feeling that this wasn't a good idea.



The first to speak was Councillor Scott McConaghy!!



Click below for youtube -



He voted to support the move of Acadian Bus Line from the Downtown area.

Seconds after his speech, the people in the gallery booed the guy. I was once again surprise because I don't believe this is the place to voice your objections. Maybe they should have waited till the vote was over but then again? This is Canada!! Freedom of speech.

Councillor Jordon Graham voted to keep the Acadian Bus line Downtown. This was a smart move from his part because many students uses the Bus.

The gallery exploded with applause. It was one to one!!! A tie!!! It was just like watching a hockey game. IT WAS EXCITING!!!!

My Councillor Stephen Kelly voted to move the Bus from the Downtown core. Well? He won't get my vote in the next Municipal election. A little too ignorant for this Blogger.



Click below for youtube -





Councillor Marilyn Kerton voted to support to keep the Bus Line in the Downtown area. Of course, she works for Family Services so it would have been stupid for her to vote otherwise and I might add this blogger would have gone on a tirade for months in this blog against this Councillor.




Click below for youtube -




Councillor Tony Whalen voted for the Bus line to move from the Downtown area. I'm surprise on this one. Have to do a youtube with Tony the next time I see the guy on the street.



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.




Councillor Bruce Grandy was a strange one. You didn't know if he was going to vote against the move or not? At the end, he voted to support the Bus terminal from the Downtown core.




Click below for youtube -





Councillor Michael O'Brien would be an interesting dude to watch because he's the Chairman to locate people to live in Low Housing Units. Of course, he has heard the hardship of the less fortunate to travel way over the hill for the bus. I was surprised he voted to support the move of Acadian Bus line to over in nowhere land. This is another guy, I will do a youtube interview with.



Click below for youtube -



Councillor Dan Keenan voted to move the Acadian Bus Line from the Downtown core. I don't know much of this guy.




Click below for youtube -




Another Councillor that I don't know much about is Eric Megarity. He voted to move the Bus Terminal from the Downtown core.




Councillor Stephen Chase voted to move the Bus Terminal in nowhere land. But this is where the meeting got ugly and Mayor Brad Woodside had to step in!!!




Click below for youtube -




Then came outspoken Councillor David Kelly. Now? This would be interesting because the new terminal will be located in his ward and many citizens in that area have voice their objection to the move. What would he do? He voted to keep the Bus Line downtown.



Click below for youtube -





It was all over!!! Council voted to move the Bus Terminal from the Downtown core.

The citizens watching the vote were upset and I noticed a few tears in some of the citizens eyes.



It was over and the City of Fredericton just took a huge step backward towards the future.

The situation was getting a little heated.

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



Was she calling for Police officers to come to City Hall? Hey? I was right there!!! Could be some good youtubes?

The Mayor wisely called for a time out!!!!< Smart move >

Click below for youtube -




Councillor David Kelly who voted against the move came outside of the chambers to meet the citizens.

Part one -



Part two -




Activist Julie Michaud face the media after Fredericton Council gave the OK to Acadian Bus Line to move from the Downtown area.



The concern students and citizens were very upset that Fredericton will lose their Downtown Bus!!!! First Costco and now this!!!!



Here's some youtubes -

Part one -



Part two -



So? What does this means? Does this send a message to all Students around the Province that Universities students are not welcome in this City???

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.







But these guys will have a very difficult time because the old days of saying- Ohhh...in three years from now? People will forget this issue. Sorry...with the information highway? People will not forget!!!!







But my question is this???? Does the Ward system truly works??? If the Councillor believe his/her riding is not concern about a certain issue? They'll vote against the Bill and don't care what other citizens thinks.

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!!!

Stay tuned!!!!
