Senator Complains "This Is Canada, Not Putin's Russia"
"A show trial"........That's how New Brunswick Senator Jim Munson characterises the goings on in the Senate to suspend Senators Pamela Wallin, Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau without pay because they have become a political embarrassment.
Munson goes so far as to call the motion a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms by assuming guilt in advance of a hearing of any kind where the rights of the accused are defended by lawyers. Duffy and Wallin were given all of 20 minutes to make the case why they should not be suspended.
Munson says Senators have not had a chance to see the Deloitte report on Senator Wallin's expenses and even the residency requirement is not clearly defined because it doesn't stipulate how many days you have to live in that residence in the province where you're appointed from.
He suspects the government chose to move ahead on this at a politically expedient time just before the opening of Parliament.

South End Theatre Getting Help From The Province
Some
much needed money coming to the InterAction School of Performing Arts at
228 Germain Street. The provincial government is contributing 50
thousand dollars to help pay for upgrades to the theatre building, itself,
including a new roof.
200 young people get their creative juices flowing by attending classes and workshops at the theatre along with performing. The theatre has been around for 13 years.
The President of the theatre's Board of Directors Jeff Sheehan tells CHSJ News this type of training will help them in the work world because it develops creative thinking. Sheehan works in I-T and says some of his colleagues develop software during the day but are involved in the arts during their off hours.
A fundraising campaign is underway with the goal being 150 thousand dollars to pay for all of the upgrades.

The Opposition wants Premier Alward to hit the pause button on fracking.
Liberal Leader Brian Gallant says they have repeatedly expressed their concerns about the government blindly pushing ahead with shale gas development without addressing people's concerns in a meaningful way.
Gallant says people in the province do not trust the Premier when it comes to this topic adding he's also ignored the recommendations of the Chief Medical officer of Health, Dr. Eilish Cleary.
He says the Alward government has failed to provide the reassurances New Brunswickers want with respect to the impact of shale gas development on the environment and human health.
