Mr. Alward of New Brunswick pushing for frucking fracking

Alward is completely ignoring public opinion. People in the town of Sussex and the village of Hampton are rightly upset. They sure are worried about the quality of their water. Fracking chemicals can enter the ground water making it flammable. Who wants to drink that water (unless you want fire in your belly) or take shower in it? Fracking is indeed dangerous.

New Brunswick - 2010 elections

David Alward of the PC Party won and Shawn Graham of the Liberal Party lost. Some things change and others don't. Bernard Lord is still very unhappy.

Tory Leader David Alward: Freeze property tax assessments for seniors

The New Brunswick Election has been generally boring and without any excitement; that's why I did not comment on it. However, a proposal for freezing property tax assessments for seniors is a smart move by Tory leader David Alward. I think in the long run it saves money for senior care. When seniors cannot afford property taxes they move out and live in nursing homes run by the province. This costs taxpayers a lot more.

I believe Liberal Leader Shawn Graham’s stance on this is wrong. He thinks "underserving" seniors will get the benefits. This is not going to sit well with seniors. Graham would have been better off either supporting this proposal or remaining silent. This one is a winner for the Tory leader. Also freezing power rates for residential users for three years is a good move by Alward.
