""The sale of NB Power must be stopped"" That was the sentiment of 120 people who gathered at Kennebecasis Valley High School last night. It was for the first of two Town Hall meetings being hosted by Put NB People First this week. One of the invited guests was President of the Saint John District Labour Council Ron OldField. He tells CHSJ News, even when the Liberals roll out the ""revamped"" proposal this morning, it's a non-starter for his organization.


The over two hour meeting included comments from NDP Leader Roger Dugay, Green Party Boss Jack McDougall, Conservative MLA Jeanott Volpe and Bethany Thorne Dykstra, President of the Put NB People First. The Green Party says it will unveil it's energy strategy later today.
