I read your blog and was wondering if u know anything about the accident on the highway between Nackawic and Fredericton that happened earlier today, I drove past it after it had happened, it didn't look good, looked as if truck rolled or flipped and burnt...
I only noticed one Native at the Hydro-Quebec and NB Power Protest at the New Brunswick Legislature.
I was surprise there wasn't more Natives at the Protest.
I'm not sure < some reader will set me straight > but don't the Natives in this Province have a deal with the Government that they'll have cheaper power?
Quebec has a reputation of not treating the Natives with respect.
I didn't mind spending hours working on this little blog because it was history in the making!!!
Yes.....I have on the ground of the Legislature to cover the protest but my number reason to be there was to cover the First Native Lieutenant Governor Graydon Nicholas to open the New Brunswick Legislature.
I was surprised to see the Lieutenant Governor in the Legislature so early. They were practicing for this afternoon session.
I noticed Dan Bussieres walking outside so I approached him with my camera. He ordered my arrest last April so what will he do this time around?
I may as well face the music immediately!!! I asked Dan Bussieres if he wish to pose for a picture with the new Lieutenant Governor?
He quickly made an exit towards the Legislature.
I asked the Lieutenant to pose for a picture because I knew he wouldn't have time to do it during the ceremony.
He did...
It was time to return to the Government House.
The next few fours I stayed on the Ground of the Legislature covering the Protest!!!
The ceremony was set to begin!!
The Canadian Army marched in front of the New Brunswick Legislature.

I'm certain many of the Protesters didn't know what was going on? I'm certain that 80% of them didn't know they were about to witness history!!!
Who can blame them? You never see this on television.
I'll let the pictures do the talking.

I was caught off guard once the Lieutenant Governor began speaking.
