Two deaths so far in New Brunswick from 'covid19' could this really be a pandemic? It doesn't seem so... but is a great way to keep people paralysed with fear and make them submissive.
... and its unfortunate but its the 'new normal'...
Its okay… we just want you to know that all politicians are largely in agreement on the things that are important in 2020… like wearing a mask, getting tested for covid19, social distancing, washing your hands compulsively, shaming others for not being compliant, and obeying all and any random instructions/mandates issued by the public health official of the government. Relax, your government is in control New Brunswick. I wonder how much the town and mta.ca have spent on signs this year.. its been a doozy.
Thank you Bruce for the update on the inexcusable situation that many Mount A students were faced with when trying to exercise their right to vote. It will be interesting to see the results of the investigation that Elections NB plans to conduct, but I wonder if it is the correct agency to conduct the investigation, since it will in effect be investigating itself. Is Elections NB not responsible for ensuring that the workers at all of the polling stations are informed of the regulations regarding who is and isn’t eligible to vote at each polling station? According to the Elections NB website “We work in an honest and trustworthy manner administering transparent and non-partisan electoral processes that adhere to legal and ethical principles.” It doesn’t sound non-partisan when a Liberal Party representative confronts eligible voters at a polling station and claims that they do not have the right to vote. I suppose the very short time period that the organization had to organize this election, which was announced so abruptly by Higgs, could be a factor. However, Elections NB was aware that Mt A students would be voting in this riding, as they have done in previous elections, so I don’t understand why the workers at the polling station were not properly informed, in their training prior to election day, of the regulations pertaining to university students’ voting.
Re Kata List Productions’ comments, I don’t see what they have to do with this election issue. Your rant against the provincial public health department’s correct response to this pandemic, a response that was guided by information provided by epidemiologists who are experienced in dealing with pandemics like this, indicates your ignorance of the facts. Your ridiculing of the general population for responsibly following the advice of the provincial health authorities demonstrates that you must be getting your COVID19 information from Fox News or The Donald himself. Regarding your comment about shaming others for not being compliant, do you not see that those people who have not maintained social distancing or worn masks in public are endangering not only themselves but others they come in contact with? I would think that the recent outbreaks in Campbellton and Moncton, which without a doubt will be found to have resulted from some irresponsible citizens flouting the guidelines and regulations, would give you a wake-up call about the seriousness of this pandemic.
