Hello again Canada of Greater Moncton, n.b., where the General, deadpan, answer to various questions this weekend on the federal election is:
"The election". What election? ?
Yes, a general blasé, sluggish, almost careless disregard this particular weekend for what either political, as the election conducted almost last in the interests of the citizens of Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview.
The Canadian Olympic hero were in town, stopping for a few days for basking in the glow of the same admiring public. Several events were held in honour of these young athletes, which shone before the world to the Olympic Games.
Award of the Olympic medal and well over 6,000 people attended the Coliseum to pay tribute to their many accomplishments. Needless to say, that same Friday saw the dumps for participation in all the different local schools and notable events of the city.
In the local newspaper, the Times & Transcript two additional were added to the edition of Friday with countless athletes colour photographs.
The famous Harlem Globetrotters have been also in Moncton this weekend, and their description in the document was more than any other policy.
Also, the East Coast Music Awards, held in Prince Edward Island this weekend, has collected more advertising than any candidate or party.
It was as if all election news has been on hold them, out of respect for all other events and happenings this weekend cold, wet, rain.
I've included photos of signs showing around the area of Tri-communautaire for the four candidates, the holder being Brian Murphy of the party Liberal. But even signage this year is sparse.
One might assume that even all the candidates are somewhat "politically weary" and an elections effort is made to at least show the public there is an imminent election.
In any event, the end of the week for policy in Moncton?
"The election". What election? ?
But, as many have also observed, the last two weeks may very well see things heating. Stay tuned, folks!
