looked back to verify we all already know! Blaine Higgs , never mentioned, spoke about or related his own idea about transforming an entire jurisdiction, therefore I am again warning that forced amalgamations, on a tight legal line hal. This type of massive overreaching and completely controlled by a handful of individuals, and did not get elected on this policy, it's not democracy.b Even when Atholville and surrounding areas amalgamated, there was a plebiscite. The Miramichi, I would say, is still evolving and they are fortunate to have a great group at City Hall and the potential for growth and development is ready prime.
So, unfortunately no one else but Higgs , Daniel Allain and a few people and the entire PC party causus (they are all to blame), forced it. I will admit that I would have voted yes to this, as representation by taxation must not be absolute. So, as we move forward, there will be a little bit of a sudden halt when half the municipal employees in NB will lose their jobs. It’s a small cog in the wheel, as it is a precursor to the privatization of all MUNICIPAL services. Another massive amount of changes not thought of.
Now, the reason and whole system and the way every single aspect has been anti democratic, the naming of each JURISDICTION, is not set in stone. Higgs believes that no one else will see it, but they left this approach purposely hanging giving the people the perception of “you guys should name your own municipalities”. But Blaine, you already named every single municipality, and you did it like we are just numbers. I waited for the first time in my life to see if anyone else would get there.
77 ENTITIES AND 12 REGIONAL MUNICIPALITIES. Awe. So as an example Haut Madwaska, will be RSW 1-ENTITY 1. And welcome to the NB of the future. The complete guide to destroy any emotional or unique communities history and ownership of the whole system.
