| Why Are These Letters Rejected? |

Another dismissed Letter To The Editor September 2009. Are English speaking New Brunswickers being gagged?

Dear Editor,
Occasionally a New Brunswick citizen dares to venture into the realm of complaining about the taboo subject of forced bilingualism and duplication that this small province cannot afford.
One recent example being the July 5th article in a local news paper entitled “GRADUATION WAS EYE-OPENING” by author James Thompson.
For the past two or more years the Anglo Society of N.B. has been submitting monthly letters to several provincial newspapers on this very subject that rarely get published, with the exception of a couple of smaller privately owned papers.
Could it be that our Canadian charter of rights only allows for politically correct freedom of press? Apparently there is no longer such thing as freedom of speech.
The question is what will it take to change the discriminatory situation that the majority now finds itself which has evolved over the past forty years?
Why must English institutions be forced to provide bilingual services while in several cases more and more French institutions are deemed unilingual?
One thing we have learned is that we cannot rely on our elected representatives to institute change since they fear loosing a few votes come the next election. Therefore it is up to the people to stand up and take the necessary action.
Some have suggested a tax revolt designed to curb this financial bleeding of revenue that N.B. taxpayers have endured for the past four decades.
A province- country which discriminates against the majority of its taxpayers is likely doomed to fail.
Be Isolated, Be Ignored, Be Attacked, Be in Doubt, but do not be silenced.

Dear Editor,
Re: The proposed sale of N.B. Power to Hydro Quebec. What have our elected representatives been smoking? Remember the power deal made with Newfoundland where Quebec has generated $21 billion of revenue while NFLD nets only one $billion?
There is a great deal more to be concerned about when signing on to this deal than present or future power rates, and that is, the very future of this province.
Anyone with a pea for a brain could visualize what Quebec ’s long term goals are.
Firstly, N.B. will become Quebec ’s branch office and N.B. power will become another make work project for Quebecers. Eventually all English speaking employees will be forced to become bilingual or be replaced. We must remember that Quebec is a unilingual French province “COUNTRY” where the English language is all but outlawed, enforced by language police. Don’t think for a minute that it won’t apply to any business owned by Quebec regardless of what province it is situated, therefore qualified English speaking New Brunswickers will be shut out and many will be forced to leave the province for meaningful employment elsewhere.
As French speakers move from Quebec to N.B they will be demanding more French schools, cultural centers medical clinics, etc. with the majority taxpayer paying the lion’s share of the bill, at least until our population reaches their desired goal of 50% plus one French. Then will come Quebec ’s Bill.101 outlawing the English language province wide.
Remember, Jean Chretien was one of the authors of Trudeau’s 1982 constitutional changes and had a specific goal in mind when he convinced Jean Cherest to become premier of Quebec . That being to push French as deeply as possible into other parts of Canada using the billions of tax dollars in equalization payments sent to Ottawa mostly by Alberta . For those who are not aware Quebec receives 45% of those annual $ billions.
The next step will be to freeze out the other Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland until they eventually circum to a similar Quebec buyout of their major resources.
It would appear that our English politicians have already sworn allegiance to separatist Quebec . “Hello Quebec Good Bye New Brunswick ”.
Sincerely,
Matthew Glenn
