Political parties of both stripes have used the promise of lowered or regulated electricity costs for home owners to gain political control of government, this also got these same politicians support from industry , who als benefited from lowered energy costs, which they argued assisted them in being more competitive. This manipulated lowered price has been provided through NB POWER opporating in a deficit and increasing the NB POWER DEBT, which we the residents will have to pay for, industry will not be burdened with this debt, but we will! Supporting restructuring NB POWER and its present relationship with our legislature, must be a priority for our present and future Premiers! We the residents need to focus on what must be done and make it clear that this not a political party platform issue, letting politicians divide us will just ensure we keep status quo, this givernment and any future government need to know what we expect. A not for profit model is a great idea, as long as the Corperation is monitored by government to ensure tgey are efficient and prividing the province with the electricity we need for Industry and residential use.

Thank you. Years ago, the Conservation Council of N.B., did a report saying the cancer rate in Saint John was higher than Fredericton or Moncton. The Province of N.B., is negligent on their responsibilities.
I appreciate being made aware of the situation, and thank you for bringing it to our attention. However, shame on those in power if they don’t address this immediately, without all the nonsense studies and task forces to review it.

Remember years ago when at a liquor store; you told the clerk what you wanted and they would bring it to the counter. Consumers Distributing made a business of bringing your order to the front counter. Now, so many items are under lock n’ key, you need to find someone to open the display case and that is a real chore in some stores.
Laws are not keeping up with the changes in our society. We need all thefts reported – only if the property owner is prepared to lay charges. Then, police allowed to jail a person for up to 48 hours for theft. If found guilty, the 48 hours could be time served unless they are a repeat offender. This will require additional police until attitudes change. Right now, there is no deterrent – just like stealing gas. Police won’t even investigate. Again, owners must be willing to lay charges. Some stores have hired their own security – an expensive proposition for stores struggling to stay open.
Opd country stores had all valueable product behind counters, underglass or in a locked store room for a reason! Retail merketing giving customers direct access to product is no longer viable, secure the items that get stolen and hire a sales person to facilitate the sale and provide security of products!
The justice system is clearly broken….we have laws, no justice. A serious overhaul is needed desperately. Shoplifting hurts everyone!

Hi Peggy, we have now added the photo to the post!
A picture would be helpful. Describing tattoos on his arms are not helpful in identifying when we can’t see his arms.
Why don’t you post a picture of this guy
