Check out this great video encouraging people to vote in the 2010 Provincial Election:

The video may be taking a beating if you read the CBC comments; but, at least they are doing their part to get the message out!

As the video mentions, be sure to check out http://electionsnb.ca for all of the details.

So much for respect in the New Brunswick Legislature.

Yesterday, it was another “day at the circus” with Abel being Abel:

Opposition members Margaret-Ann Blaney and Paul Robichaud complained to Speaker Roy Boudreau about repeated insults hurled by Abel LeBlanc, a Liberal backbencher, toward Blaney.

But after both sides of the house agreed the solution was for all members to show more respect toward each other, the Conservatives were stunned when LeBlanc then gave Blaney “the finger.”

Although Government house leader Greg Byrne quickly stood and promised to deal with LeBlanc’s behaviour in caucus, there was no stopping LeBlanc as he jumped to his feet to make his feelings crystal clear.

“I’ll not apologize in this house for that young lady over there,” he said of Blaney, accusing her of lying about former tourism minister Stuart Jamieson.

Then turning his sights on Tory Dale Graham, LeBlanc said, “I’ll walk outside with any one of you here. Don’t ever laugh at me. Yes, I gave you that (gesturing with his middle finger) and I’ll give you that again (gesturing once more with his finger) and I’ll give you this (a fist) if you want to go outside. You’re a punk.”

Boudreau asked LeBlanc to withdraw his remarks. When he did not, the Speaker told him to leave the chamber, which he did.

I can’t be the only one counting down to the election this fall…

The voters will be sure to give you “some of this” Abel!

I have been playing around with uploading videos to YouTube using my iPhone.  I’m very impressed with how quick and easy it is!

Here are a few recent local videos:

Great song and story:

In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs.

I can’t help myself, I keep watching this video, it’s so awesome:

CANADIAN SING-A-LONG!

Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Even if in winter things tend to freeze
We’ve got the world monopoly on trees
And our country’s bordered by three different seas

Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
We invented the zipper, we’ve got expertise
We made insulin to combat disease
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please

CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

Et si ce n’était pas assez
On a deux langues officielles:
L’anglais et le français
Ooh la la

Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Where else do you find mounted police
Or go to the hospital and not pay fees
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please

And when freshwater is in high demand
We’ve got the world’s largest supply on hand
So you know that we could make a pretty good friend
But it’s even better if you can be…

CHORUS

So you’re thinking to yourself,
“How do I live in this beautiful country?”
Well we’ve got some steps for you to follow…

STEP 1: Lose the gun
STEP 2: Buy a canoe
STEP 3: Live multiculturally
STEP 4: You’re ready, there is no more!

We got beavers, caribou and moose
We got buffalos, bears, and Canadian goose
And we’re sorry about Celine Dion
But she did do that good song for James Cameron…

CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

The Greek chilled out with Socrates
Can’t build a wall like the Chinese
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

In Kenya they have safaris
We’ve missed lots of other countries
But I know that you wanna be Canadian

Yesterday, I was listening to CBC radio, and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing on Q with Jiam Ghomeshi.

He was interviewing the band The Boxmasters, which includes Billy Bob Thorton – you know the actor (but don’t mention that).  After Jiam mentions that he is an actor, Bill Bob throws a temper tantrum and refuses to answer any questions.

Watch the video and see for yourself:
