I'll Take Rumours and Innuendo for $400 Alex!

Answer: 12% to 15% hike in power rates.

What is: The near future as stated by the New Brunswick official opposition.

LOL

Ok so, as you may or may not have seen on CBC New Brunswick today, the opposition, specifically Leader Jeannot Volpé states they have information that the Liberals are going to up the power rates in New Brunswick by 12% to 15%, but are holding off until after the by-election in Moncton.

Wow…..that’s a pretty hefty accusation considering the kind of hot button issue this one usually becomes with the average citizen. I mean, power rates and the bill that arrives at the end of each month is something MOST NB’ers understand.

So if the are wrong, it makes the opposition look pretty bad. If they are right? Graham and his team may be fending off a lynch mob in the capitol.

Liberal MLA Jack Keir (the only real blogging MLA in New Brunswick by the way. :-) ) has said Nope, uh uh, ain’t happening………that’s good Jack………cause there is a bunch of us bloggers in NB that will be watching to make sure you keep your word.

And to Jeannot, surely you are not simply playing politics just to get a sound bite on Friday before a Monday By-election right?? Granted that was a favorite of the Lord team....so yeah I guess it could happen....I guess we’ll all know in a couple of weeks....

Oh and there's also the possibility that the Liberals intentionally "leaked" bogus information to make the Conservatives look really bad......

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, who’s gonna get a verbal Bitch Slap in the blogs (this one at least) in a few weeks...

hehe
