Trades workers for the second day in a row staged a protest outside the Courtney Bay Inn in St John. This is to voice their displeasure with workers from Alberta coming in and taking jobs at the CanaPort LNG Terminal while many of them are looking for work. Spokes-person Terry Maceachern tells us, this just doesn't make any sense.
The crowd was loud but well behaved with a strong police presence on hand video taping the demonstration. The workers were hoping to get a word in with Premier Graham as the New England Govenors and Eastern Canadian Premiers Conference continues at the Delta.

Delays at the Reactor at Point Lepreau aren't sitting well with Premier Graham
Delays in the major overhaul of the reactor at Point Lepreau aren't sitting well with Premier Graham -- neither is the fact Atomic Energy of Canada Limited has been dragging its feet in providing answers to questions about the project. Premier Graham says it appears A-E-C-L isn't focused.
Graham says he will be meeting with N-B Power top dog David Hay later this week to discuss the issue -- and -- he plans on bending the Prime Minister's ear to get the crown corporation to provide updated information. The Premier says A-E-C-L is responsible for covering the costs associated with the delays under the contract struck by the former Lord government.

Wellness Camp
Premier Graham says it's going to be difficult -- but -- he will try his best to stay away from the sweets as part of his bid to promote healthier lifestyle choices in the province. Graham made the commitment while taking part in a news conference unveiling a new Atlantic Canadian ad campaign and website promoting healthier lifestyles.
The new campaign was rolled out during a news conference following a meeting of the Council of Atlantic Premiers in St John yesterday.
