A lone sign was stuck in the snowbank contrasting the intended purpose of the building versus the action of the current government. The sign says " NB 1st : One does not sell the right to power. This is a democracy. Support NB Power families. Where an orange ribbon"
Several speakers including union leader for IBEW 37 Ross Galbraith , Conservative Leader David Aylward, NDP Leader Roger Duguay spoke, representatives from the other parties, as well as others. My opologies to everyone else who spoke who I did not name, I have a short memory, and it was too cold to take notes.
This guy is making sure everyone knows his opinion. 
The RCMP had a forensic investigation vehicle there with a little cam corder in the window pointed at the crowd. If they were looking for a crime, most felt it should be pointed at the ruling government inside the building. 
These two make such a cute couple.
A freindly conservative mla kindly opening the window so the loud ruckus could be heard inside. He's giving a thumbs up, the volume must have been good.
Jack Keir braved the cold to be confronted by an even colder crowd. Unfortunately my camera was set on hi-def and the video I have is too massive to upload. I'll see wht I can do to shrink it and upload later. That's all for now folks. Sorry, no new facts or thoughtful stories today. Well, I did get a handout from the NB Media Co-op. It talks about the well known fact that Hill and Knowlton are used to help the government market the sale of NB Power. Check it out. Worth a look anyway. http://www.nbmediacoop.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=708:media-expert-exposes-marketing-of-nb-power-sale&catid=96:politics&Itemid=197
