She obtained her law degree from the Université de Moncton in 1993 and was a partner in the law firm Stewart McKelvey.
After practicing law for 15 years, Jolene Richard was appointed to the Provincial Court in November 2008."

"LeBlanc said he thinks the party needs to reposition itself and become more centrist.
"Perhaps, in recent campaigns, we have drifted from that pragmatic centre of Canadian politics and we haven't given some of the traditional Liberal voting blocs an enthusiastic reason to support us," LeBlanc said.
LeBlanc also said the Green Shift — Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion's carbon tax plan — represented "a major challenge for us last time" and will not be part of his campaign."
More here from Adam Huras on Dominic Leblanc's "leadership" story:
Could Dominic Leblanc lead the party? Yes.
One thing we do know this week ... Justin Trudeau confirmed that he is not going to run for election again in his long held riding of Papineau PQ.. which is not surprising.. is it?
"Densification" of Downtown Sackville New Brunswick - Courtesy of John Lafford, Builder/Landlord
"Big Building" ....
or Build Back Beauty?
Big building could be coming to downtown Sackville |
some commentary below..
by "Muzza" here..
Wow, that “example of what a seven storey building would look like” is absolutely hideous. It looks like something out of the 80’s from Brampton Ontario. Most buildings that look like that today are being torn down and replaced. I cannot imagine adding anything more ugly to downtown Sackville. Has Lafford even bothered to look at the new builds in Dieppe with their modern design? Also, I love the fact that our Planner is all smiles, doing the bidding of developers and investors instead of looking out for the people of Sackville. No wonder Lafford is smiling in the background. Says a lot about our public servants and elected officials. Here’s an idea, cast a judicious eye to development requests instead of being a rubber stamp."
and by local Meredith Fisher:
Sadly, this is what happens when a small community divests itself of a vision to respectfully protect its heritage, built heritage and cultural heritage. Rather than realizing the strength in having a cohesive plan for development, important streetscapes of the community become something that resembles confusion. One just needs to visit St. Andrews, Lunenberg or Wolfville to witness places that understand how having a strong vision for planning interesting, beautiful streetscapes is important to community success.

To be fair John Lafford is in-line completely with "sustainable development" smart-growth and also more recently [2020] launched "Sustainable Markets Initiative" with Terra Carta Chuck [Charles the fake king in England]-- but is Lafford in-line with the overall majority here and their wishes for the development and aesthetics of their town? Does it matter what the majority of townsfolk think now?
What else would stimulate the building of single family homes in 2025 in this town? Incentives.

With so much room to move and so much property to develop here in Tantramar one has to wonder why pushing everyone in on top of each other is considered "progress" in 2025? Should we now just halt the "densification housing model" in favour of more small villages and neighbourhoods being developed? Naming lots of newly created streets where there would be many available serviced lots waiting for the new construction of affordable housing on brand new lots for sale would be the job of a truly "on the ball" and motivated culture in our Planners Club [Lori Bickford], Staffers at Town Hall & Town Councillors Team with Mayor Andrew Black.. This would take vision and hard work.. are we going to be able to achieve this vision of truly growing our region? Are we not positioned beautifully to see a blossoming of more housing opportunities vis-a-vis "neighbourhoods" rather than just more towers? Discuss this amongst yourselves... and if you have money consider the idea of becoming an investor in this type of project for the region.. there are ways to manifest the vision of a more developed and even more prosperous Tantramar.. are we able to work towards that goal?
Food for thought here from Warktimes.com article commentary section:
I laughed out loud when Lori Bickford said “vibrant” when referring to that big new 7 story apartment building towering over the landscape like a monolithic but necessary and apparently welcome build [they tell us all that we need more housing and we’re going to get it but its not built to be beautiful or elegant is it?]. By removing those three older heritage style architecture a little bit of specialness dies again here and change is the only thing you can count on these days.. and regret for what was a lovely quaint charming landscape being ambitiously transformed by the strong although baffling desire for “densification”. The word densification is about packing people in on top of each other like sardines… is it really necessary in a place with so much land and room to move? Lafford Legacy = densification in the town. I only wish he would put his considerable talents into building neighbourhoods of beautiful single family homes – and they don’t have to be large – but more new attractive homes for sale would be preferrable to this current “chicken coop” contribution. “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” – World Economic Forum. Lafford is completely inline with ‘sustainanable development’ smartgrowth pack and stack housing that the United Nations crowd promote and we are all about the United Nations’ ideologies here – we even fly a UN flag here. Lafford is a very wealthy man who could stop and retire comfortably tomorrow if he wanted to but he seems compelled to continue building more unattractive housing. Pity. The name “Laffordville” might just be appropriate Elaine.. you’re not wrong"
What about alternative housing solutions?

".. and they called it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it." - George Carlin, rip ...
The realization that all these homes are gone and never coming back makes this video filmed just a month before the tragic fires all the more poignant - reminding us all of the temporary nature of life and all the things people take for granted .. my thoughts are with the people struggling now and homeless in the Los Angeles area. The loss of all their single family homes has been devastating and cuts across all walks of life and all classes.. from working class to the wealthy [who may own many homes] the brutal and sudden destruction is senseless.

Fresh Ideas for New President of Mount Allison University Dr. Ian Sutherland
Would a gift shop in the Arts Centre on campus help support local university artists and stimulate interest locally in the arts and Mount Allison University? I recall asking Arts Prof. Eric Edson years ago why this new beautiful facility doesn't have a small gift shop to sell the artwork of the students and perhaps some coffee/tea as well as it would be a great addition and a financial assistance for these campus students. Student-run cafe/shop and they could gain valuable entrepreneurial experience in sales, commerce, promotion, outreach and public relations. Sackvillians as a group are a friendly bunch... and its a great town. Who wouldn't enjoy the addition of more opportunity and enterprise.. a chance for the public to come in, peruse and buy... art cards, art work, and crafts locally created? Perhaps its my good idea that will take root. It would help more people in need here. Students are very talented and wonderfully creative but they do need support and attention as they must feel like they are living in a little bit of an "island" culturally here. Things to think on....

The World Economic Forum Is Where Our Leaders' Loyalty Lies - Yellow Forum Youtube Video
Deep ties to WEF/UN is the main reason that Mark Carney is completely unelectable as a leader in Canada... the United Nations will destroy Canadian prosperity if left unchecked and unaddressed... Mark Carney is a stooge for the WEF/UN Agenda.
The people of Canada are waking up to this reality.
