Power but since this Province is so in debt, I don't think he had any choice. I do not trust the Conservatives, federally or provincially. If they were in the same situation as Shawn Graham they too probably would have tried to sell N.B. Power. I do know that the Conservatives have never been senior friendly. When they were last in power, they took someone's home if the person had to go into a nursing home. Many spouses had to divorce in order to try and keep something they both shared. Furthermore, the Stephen Harper government recently changed the law about getting a foreign nanny, and or a senior caregiver. It used to be that anyone could get a nanny or caregiver but now, a senior has to make $70,000 a year to get a caregiver. There are many seniors that do not make $70,000 a year. This is nothing more than a way to make it impossible to keep a senior at home. This could be your parents. In other words the senior will have to be put in a death camp nursing home. And yes, they are death camps. Besides, all Harper really knows how to do is waste our tax dollars. Provincially, I saw what the Conservatives did in the past in N.B. when they were in power so I will never believe a word they say or vote for them. They just promise anything and tell you what they think you want to hear. And YES, media is hurting Shawn Graham because as we all know, the media can sway votes.
