So, the legislature resumes tomorrow. The Graham government will introduce its agenda and outside the 'people's house' citizens will protest the proposed sale of NB Power.
Shawn Graham has made it very clear that he intends to proceed with this deal without a mandate, contrary to his own campaign promises, and over the objections of the auditor general and the owners of NB Power, the people of New Brunswick.
I will be going to Fredericton to show my opposition to this deal. Many people are uncomfortable with protests but in this case, your silence will be interpreted as support for the deal. Failure to speak up, either via email or in person, will lend support to this backroom deal.
It is tempting to let apathy take over at times like this, but if you are oppose to this deal it is your responsibility to speak up now. Complaining after the fact will do nothing to absolve our inaction when it counted most. Get in touch with me if you'd like a drive to Fredericton, the rally starts at noon. If you can't or won't go, you can contact all the provincial MLA's at the same time using these addresses:

Also, for those who like to keep it local, Finance Minister Greg Byrne will be in Woodstock next Monday, Nov. 23rd, to talk about the upcoming budget and also the NB Power deal.
It's a lunch meeting, 11am-1pm, at the Enterprise Carleton boardroom on Main St. in Woodstock. You can RSVP to Alissa Stokoe at 325-4956 or email her at alissa.stokoe@ent-carleton.ca.
Not sure what the fee is for lunch, but I do know sidewalks are public property if you're so inclined. Cheers!
