Did you know?

More to the point, one wonders if Shawn Graham knows that

• about 44% of children in Fredericton are in French Immersion from Gr 1 to 8.
• just over 50% of children in the Greater Moncton area are in French Immersion from Gr 1 to 8.
• about 50% of children in Sackville are in French Immersion from Gr 1 to 8.
• Provincially, where EFI is available, enrolment is 40.45%.
• The following percentages represent EFI enrolment in grades 1-5:
  • Grand Falls — 62%
  • Shediac Cape — 60%
  • Sackville — 50%
  • Riverview — 50%
  • Campellton — 49%
  • Moncton — 48%
  • Salisbury — 45%
  • Fredericton — 41%
  • Bathurst — 38%
  • Kennebecasis Valley — 37%
  • Hampton — 33%
  • Dalhousie — 32%
  • Oromocto — 30%
  • St George — 30%

Hardly the 20% statistic shopped around by the Minister. Perhaps he forgot to subtract Kindergarteners from his stats, as they are all listed under “English”. Oops.

These numbers reflect a significant voting block, one would think …

It’s “Write the Premier Week”

Shawn Graham is Missing…But Our Letters Can Find Him!

From the Facebook event page:

Several Liberal MLAs had the courage to come out of their sanctum, and listen to the crowd’s reaction [at the rally on March 27]. One man, however, was missing…

Shawn Graham.

The Premier of New Brunswick was too afraid to step outside the safety of the Legislature, and face the citizens of New Brunswick. The man who we hired to represent our concerns lacked the intestinal fortitude to listen to a seven year old girl ask the Government for her French back.

We can’t force Shawn Graham to leave the Legislature to hear our concerns. However, for the price of one stamp, you can send your concerns directly to him.

We need everyone to write an old fashioned letter to the Premier. Nothing would get our point across better than a sack of mail landing on his desk.

Write a letter, and ask the Premier what scared him so much on March 27. How can we expect the Premier to stand up to Stephen Harper when he can’t even face a seven year old girl?

You can write the Premier at:

Hon. Shawn Graham
Office of the Premier
Centennial Building
PO Box 6000
Fredericton, NB
