Complaints thumbs down-784494

I have been told months ago that the Health Department shut down the kitchen at the Provincial Jail in Black River. I guess the jail is way over populated!!!

Could the blame be New Brunswick Legal Aid????

It is proven that New Brunswick has the wrost legal Aid system in Canada. The poor are grabbed from the streets and thrown to the mercy of the court.

Welfare payments called 'morally disgraceful'

After successive federal surpluses, it's a moral outrage that Canadians on welfare are receiving some of the lowest payments in 20 years, says a national poverty group.

A report released Thursday by the National Council on Welfare suggests the 1.7 million Canadians on welfare in 2005 saw some of the lowest welfare rates since 1986.

"We have forgotten about these people and I think it's morally disgraceful," said John Murphy, the chair of the council.

Called Welfare Incomes 2005, the report tallies total welfare income, including both provincial and federal welfare benefits, child benefits and tax credits.

It measures the welfare rates in four different scenarios: a single employable person, a person with a disability, a single parent with one child, and a couple with two children aged 10 and 15.

New Brunswick and oil-rich Alberta had some of the lowest rates among all the provinces, while Newfoundland and Labrador delivered some of the highest rates, suggests the report.

Of the four scenarios measured, the highest and lowest welfare rates among the provinces were:

Single employable person:

* N.B. - $3,427
* N.L. - $8,198

Person with disability:

* Alta. - $7,851
* Ont. - $12,057

Lone parent with one child:

* Alta. - $12,326
* N.L. - $16,181

Couple with two children:

* N.B. - $17,567
* P.E.I. - $21,213

The income figures reported from the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut were higher than those in the provinces. However, the cost of living is higher in northern regions, so any benefit of bigger cheques is lost.

A single person on welfare in N.W.T. receives $13,610 per year, while a couple with two children in Nunavut receive $36,325.

Alberta rates halved

Welfare rates have dropped, sometimes in half, over the past two decades, suggests the report.

In 1986, a single person on welfare in Alberta received roughly $10,000 a year. By 2005, that amount had dropped to $5,050 per year.

Critics say the provincial government, which is on track to run 13 straight years of surplus budgets, should be ashamed.

"We've got people sleeping in our parking lots. We've got people sleeping in dumpsters," said Edmonton social aid worker Ellie Gibson.

"There was someone run over in a parking lot in Edmonton [Tuesday] night."

Poverty advocacy groups say the report proves Canada should have a national poverty strategy.

"Across Canada we're enjoying record-breaking surpluses and record-breaking welfare rates," said Sherry Tingley, executive director of the National Anti-Poverty Organization.

"I'm extremely puzzled and it's not a very good strategy for us as a country."

National standards needed

Brenda Murphy, who works with Saint John's Urban Core Support Network, said Ottawa should play a role in social assistance, which is run by the provinces.

"I think it makes sense to have national standards so it doesn't matter what province people live in, that there's some equality there," said Murphy.

Advocacy groups say some of the Conservative government's new initiatives help the poor, including the cut to the GST and the universal child care benefit.

But they say the poor in Canada really need a guaranteed annual income that will cover the basics of food, clothing and a place to live.

The report bases its findings on Statistics Canada's Low-Income Cut-Offs (LICOs), which is not an official poverty line but a measure of the number of Canadians who spend 20 per cent more of their gross income on food, shelter and clothing than the average Canadian.

Critics of the LICO call it an arbitrary measurement, saying it doesn't accurately measure poverty.

It didn't work in Saint John Harbour but will it work in the rest of the Province????

A reader speaks out!!!!

It is true Charles has an 'in your face' attitude, but he's become more antagonistic as the House becomes more and more restrictive. If you look at the blogs just before the arrest at Atlantica, and compare them with his earliest ones, you can see why the politicians were getting antsy. That's because he was turning into a real lobbyist for the poor and was keeping his temper in check and writing much better.

However, he has every reason in the world not to disrespect those in power at the legislature. His list of grievances goes on and on.

And to address roomers rights, that is completely wrong that it was the by election. Well, not completely wrong, it was the byelection but it was because Charles had the blog AND was active in the byelection. There have been dozens of by elections and elections in this province, but none have addressed roomers rights until now. And its not like there was no poverty before now.

That's when the powers that be got really nervous, and realized that Charles IS a 'menace'-to them and the people they represent. And thats something that just can't be tolerated so we've seen the persecution increase.

And there's no such thing as 'professional protestor', theres just people who give a shit about their society and are willing to do something about it. To the guy above griping about Charles methods, how about joining the fight instead of month after month talking about how Charles is 'hurting his cause'. That's garbage.

One of 6 people banned for life from the Legislature was sitting on the front steps last week.

Moncton has long waiting lists for addictions treatment

Last Updated: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 | 12:40 PM AT
CBC News

A staff shortage and growing need for help is causing a crisis in addiction treatment in Moncton, the head of addiction services said Tuesday.

Jean Daigle, the director of Addiction and Community Mental Health Services, said he expects the problem to get worse because the city is growing, unlike other Maritime communities that are shrinking.

He said the different levels of government are going to have to provide more financial assistance.

"We need to do things differently, there's no doubt about that," he said. "I've never shied away from trying different things, but there also needs to be recognition that this is a growing city and we need some help."

People are facing long waiting lists for different kinds of addiction treatment.

"We used to be able to see [people with gambling problems] within seven to 10 working days," said Daigle. "Now we're looking at months."

The centre treats 900 people each year, with an increasing number addicted to pain medication. Daigle said that there are more than 170 people on the waiting list for methadone treatment.

To compound the problem, Daigle said several staff members are on sick leave, and there is no one to replace them. As a result, they've had to close 10 of 20 beds at the facility.
