Meltdown by Liberal MLA Abel LeBlanc in the New Brunswick legislature

[Chidanandaji]

I posted a web page titled "Conservative, Liberal or Neither" by JJ Rousso

You will be surprised (or not) learning whom both parties represent.

It is on the same blog as below.

If you are interested to an entirely different perspective....then just Google search "The History of Banking Fraud - Short Inspiring Stories by Bill Woollam"

[chafenhimer]

a member of this hoose, she lied aboot him

[thorkelson]

drunk

[rednecknber]

where are you now abel

[terb52]

fuck thats my Aunts brother

[PookeoResurrected]

It's funny how the speaker talks about respect before his meltdown.. So much for respect eh?

[oromocto56]

David Alward ftw!

[theashesofthewake666]

lol wtf this fucking hilarious nb ftw

[RackieJo82]

Abel's a good man. Finally had enough! Everyone has a breaking point. We should just be glad he didn't have a heart attack or something.

[sansam25]

@RackieJo82 I thought it was hillarious...I love it when politicians act like the rest of us, it makes us more human..

[danzax1]

Waahhh. Sounds like he was about to cry. Typical scardy cat Liberal.

[thorkelson]

completely drunk... looks like someones slipping on his AA commitments

[hc311]

we Canadians dont take shit from any one lol

[ThirdOfJune4444]

So what? I know this guy and I've talked to MLAs about him and he's a very kind, humourous, well-mannered guy. None of you have EVER had a bad day? Must be nice.

[alpine2173]

Prime Minister???

[Mikelikeshockey]

LOL...fantastic....very professional

[3GBlog]

If only american politics was this raw. Tell the GOP to fuck off and kick their ass if they have a problem. Fucking sellout bastards.

[TuturFilm]

Vive le N-B

[cliffdimerandy]

fuck this guys an idiot

[wovokanarchy]

Yeah so? He'll probably kick your ass too and prove your also a punk.

[thorkelson]

monkey would steal the peach and choke him on it if he tried...

[meloveicecream24]

OMG

this never happens in BC...

[LicorneRubyLight1MJ]

Amen !  :)

[PolakFury]

This is my gif now lol

[JamesMason421]

HAHA oh my fuck

i live in fredericton and work at the north star titty club

and that dude comes in every thurs and friday for the nasty strippers LOL

[thorkelson]

it seems you are qualified to settle the debate between me and Pick1980a, does he have a bit to drink when he comes to your establishment?

[powerandstilettos]

The North Star's still there, eh? Jeeze.

[C0NQUISTADoR]

@JamesMason421

that's our hard earned taxes dollars reinvested in the workforce! :)

[sammasmassam]

BAD ASS

[Pick1980a]

I guess I have to decide whether I am going to step things up or decide your a waste of a human being and not dedicate anymore of my time to you.

[thorkelson]

Pick1980a You are some kind of obsessive obviously, you keep coming back to this site every hour for no other reason than to see if I have left any more messages about this video. He looks drunk, It been claimed by others (google it) that he is an AA member who has ben dry for some 20-40 years so he looks like hes fallen off the wagon. I say LOOKS so there is no case of libel or slander. Its within my freedom of speech to state my opinion of what I see, so stuff it deep up if you disagree!!

[hczxp]

Freakin' Saint John... lol. Just kidding, I'm a Monctonian so I need to instinctively hate on a Saint John resident.

[DH2020]

I like that guy, he's got fire in his belly and isn't afraid to show it,

[buddy767]

that was bad ass

[theloftreport]

Not my opinion, my dad's.

"If a man is pissed off he may have reason to be.".

[Alliecattie]

GOOD BYE ABEL- The west side does NOT need a sexist BULLY mla! What an embarrassment to the Liberals esp Himself!!.........No votes from me, my family, friends in Sept! what a hot head..........and he doesn't even make sense.

[thorkelson]

You forgot showing up for question period drunk, this video clearly shows hes fallen off the wagon and is hittin the bottle again...

[Pick1980a]

Thats a statement isn't it?

Still a douchebag

You just can't help it can you

[thorkelson]

its all just to annoy you! if you had not gone and shouted obscenities I would have gone and left your dad alone, but no no no you had to be an asshole so now you sent me on a mission....

[forman1200]

I love him! And btw people who are saying "this doesnt change my view of liberals" are really showing how liberals are lame. This guy is awesome. If hes a liberal you guys should be proud of it.

[vitriolicscott]

And I totally agree with earl5438, this dude VS Raymond Lymen would be EPIC.

[vitriolicscott]

Anyone else hear that his speech is slurred? Heh.

[earl5438]

i would like to see him argue with raymond lyman,that would be entertainment.

[HK4101]

Abel Leblanc is a great man, and he simply did was speak his mind from the mistreatment he got. He is old-school to say in the least, and just acted in the manner that he would/did within a union meeting. I still believe in Liberals, and this doesn't change that fact in the slightest.

[cliffdimerandy]

fuck this guy is an idiot

[stevesavoie08]

way to go abel..give him a knuckle sandwich.

[thorkelson]

he's drunk

[betterfedorov]

too bad he's a liberal, i like this guy...need more politicians like him hahaha

[cliffdimerandy]

heès an idiot. mr tough guy. some of the PCs would mop the floor with his stupid ass

[youngdallas21]

truly saint john's representative in government

[sansam25]

Hehehe..this was funny!

[cf80to01]

This guy is an embarassment to New Brunswick. From everything I have seen of him he is borderline mentally retarded.

[nozecone]

If they put their partisan loyalties aside, most Canadians would have to admit that they love this kind of thing - who was it that gave us the hockey fight, after all?

[Kaspur9384]

aboot

[pnighswander]

I think he has become my new hero. In the US, we have a congressman from Florida named Alan Grayson who is not quite as colorful as Abel, but I see some similarities.

This guy has cajones -- God bless him

[Howlthrug]

I see by his expression he enjoyed doing the middle finger.

[deathtokoalas]

america is a continent? kind of like africa is a country? there are two americas (i'm not quoting john edwards) and they are both continents. it's correct to say that canadians, americans and people from "central america" are north americans, and some canadians do think of themselves in this way, but to claim that "america is a continent" and conclude that canadians are americans is something that canadians would find deeply offensive, much as the irish and scots resent being called british.

[IH8WRONGPPL]

Eh By, them be the fightin words of a wise ol' lad.

[joei62]

Way to Go Abel, its about time we had someone who speaks from the heart and not from their ass. I hope people don't forget how much Abel is done for the people in Lancaster , his door was always open.

[lewismjan]

this guys a masogenist

[Siskband3]

yeah yeah he is the best

[MMMisterDNA]

Sometimes, you gotta say what you gotta say.

The other one probably deserved it.

[thorkelson]

how do you know that? do you have the faintest idea what he is mad about?

[Pick1980a]

@ thorkelson

Man you are a FUCKING DUMB ASSHOLE!

I have attempted to converse with you in a polite manor but you insist on ignoring the truth and making up lies about this guy.

You know what I bet you are an Alcoholic and your just projecting onto this guy.

And learn the English language retard! Infantile means "Baby" and I have never hear of a baby calling anyone out to fight!

Your obviously have an agenda and your just FUCKING retard attempt to ruin this guys career.

FUCK OFF!

[thorkelson]

no I just want to know what exactly the back story here is. I start to suspect that maybe you are him from reaction :D your reaction really veers into troll bait territory.

[Pick1980a]

Troll bait

Really thats your comment?

If you want to know the back story then google his name like most intelligent people would. It's on the CBC's website.

But considering you know he is anti-NDP I am going to assume that you are an NDP or Conservative supporter and coward who wants to spend the day attempting to destroy this guy.

You really are pathetic!

P.S. You caught me I love a good troll fuck!

[thorkelson]

No im actually a passive liberal supporter who used to be an NDP supporter in the days of Ed Broadbent. Im not attempting to destroy anyone, good grief do you think me such a deluded megalomaniac that I would think my innocent little youtube musings would be taken that seriously or spread so widely?!?! I just think this guy is a drunk, tons of politicos are drunks, politics is not surgery or bus driving, one can manage quite well after a few quaffs...

[Pick1980a]

Well your actions do not align with that last statement at all. You have spent how long on here attempting to convince everyone this guys is a drunk. 20,000 people have watched this in 2 days and it is on the front page of You Tube. And why bother making and insisting the man is a drunk if no one is watching? You know exactly what you are doing and that's what pisses me off! Your a coward!

Your comments about a few "quaffs" also back up my theory that you are an alcoholic

[thorkelson]

For the record no i am not an alcoholic. how knowing the word "quaff" would make me so is bit odd. I think you grossly overestimate the effect of this, you are the one projecting not everyone scours the comments obsessively like you. If I lived there I would tell all my friends this observation, then it would spread further to 10-20 as opposed to 3-4 who really cared here. I say what I think I am a free speech advocate. Coward is meaningless, you think we are more important than we are,,,

[Pick1980a]

First knowledge of the word "quaff" has nothing to do with being an alcholic but suggesting that you could go to work drunk does.

Second, who is "we"? Who am I more important than. I have only talked to you because you tried to assassinate this guys character without any proof.

Third do you know what "projecting" means because you did not use it correctly.

Telling your friends is one thing posting one post after another on a site with 24,000 visits in 3 days is another.

[thorkelson]

i know what projecting means you are doing it when you fantasize that everyone cares as much as you.

[Pick1980a]

Nope

Google it buddy

[thorkelson]

its projecting your own emotional states and dispositions onto other people, thinking things that describe you describe other people.

[Pick1980a]

There ya go

[thorkelson]

which is what you do when you assume others are as obsessed as you about the comments here, bsically 20,000 people looked at this clip, of those maybe 1000, looked at the comments, and of those its only probably about 10 or so who are the least bit interested in how this relates to Abels history of alcoholism.

[Pick1980a]

If no one is reading your comments then why are you so commited to suggesting this man has a drinking problem?

Do you even live in New Brunswick or Canada? Your page says that you live in Finland!

[thorkelson]

If you check out some of my other posts you will clearly see, if you have two brain cells to run together, that I am from that part of the world (Canada). sticking in the alcoholism references in the responses to you is just poor self control and totally 110% aimed at you. You react so deliciously that I can't help but throw it in there.... im certain noone else cares or even notices...

[Pick1980a]

anyways if your not going to continue to insist this man is a drunk then I do not really see any point in arguing with you.

I just didn't think it was OK having 20,000 plus people see your accusations. This guy is in a lot of trouble and he doesn't need people falsely accusing him of being an alcoholic because they disagree with him politically.

[geraldtlad]

Abel is not in any trouble for this. He does not need to be an MLA. He's there to fight for people, not idealogies. Idealogies do not grow hungry and get mistreated by government bureaucratic bullsh .

[thorkelson]

he might be a good constituency guy but he is too vehemently anti-NDP to be considered a "fighter for the people", dont misundersand me im no dipper, its just the sort of libs who can call themselves ""fighters for the people " tend to have a more "well they are nice guys and they want the same things we do and I stand for what they do but they are bit naive and amateur" attitude to the NDP...

[MMMisterDNA]

To: thorkelson

The other ones were telling lies about Saint John-Fundy MLA Stuart Jamieson to damage his reputation.

A lie can go very far to damage someone's reputation until it is exposed.

Many people had their career ruined over a false accusation.

LeBlanc is rightfully upset because this is below the belt.

[thorkelson]

what I am curious about is what was their false story about him? what did they lie about? This is somehow never mentioned,

[Liamo123456789]

Well, I may not know an incredible amount about Canadian Politics, however, it is my opinion that he just got a little carried away. Yes, it may not have been the best reaction, but he is an elected representative, and his job is to voice his opinion, and his opinion should reflect his constituency. This may not have been a proffesional way of voicing himself, but I he got his message across, and Im sure someone spoke to him about it to ensure it wont happen again in a later session.

[cliffdimerandy]

i dont give a fuck if the man was drunk or sober. fuck him. hes mr liberal tough guy!

[harveystewart]

hahahah, he said "aboot".

[HCEDAMED]

Abel is a straight shooter and he's not afraid to call a spade a spade. He was sticking up for Stewart Jamieson. Most people are too afraid to stand up when people put their friends down not Abel! He'll always have my vote.

[thorkelson]

Can someone please tell me the whole story? What got him so mad? who is Steward Jamieson? what did the poor little soft spoken diminutive mousy woman whose name I have forgotten do or say to upset him so... I still say he looks drunk, he is sludding his speech.

[Pick1980a]

Ok lets see here

If you have no idea what this is all about how do you know a "soft spoken diminutive mousy woman" upset him? Sounds like you are just here to disparage this guy. There is nothing that he does in this video that suggests he is drunk. His speech is clear and he is not swaying at all.

The woman apparently was bold enough to lie about one of his colleagues in the media and she got slammed for it. If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

[thorkelson]

come off it what planet are you from, its an incredible overreaction... what was this "Lie" she told? did it land him in jail? hes just an alcoholic hothead, face it

[Pick1980a]

First of all if he was drunk he would have never got into the legislature and he certainly would have got more than a 3 day suspension.

How can you possibly say it is an "incredible overreaction" when you have no idea what was said.

Seriously your oversimplifying things and making some ridiculous assumptions without any proof to back your opinions up.

We went from a 30sec clip of a clearly annoyed man yelling to him being an alcoholic hothead.

Your ridiculous!

Get a life!

[thorkelson]

look, would you say that to a colleague at work in that way who you thought might have been dishonest at one point in the past? If you are something other than a construction worker or garbage man I would assume the answer is no. If yes then I doubt you will be at your job for too much longer! :)

[Pick1980a]

I have called people out in a rough manner at work but not to that extent obviously. However, you are not in politics and you are also not in the parliamentary system. If you watch the sessions they get pretty heated. He just went too far in a profession which is already rowdy.

However, none of this makes him a drunk as you have vehemently asserted.

[thorkelson]

Its his bulbous alcoholics nose and the way he slurs his speech and sways into the mike that makes him a drunk. What did the woman lie about exactly that pissed him off so much.

[geraldtlad]

Stuart Jamieson, Liberal MLA from Saint John Fundy. Abel Liberal MLA from Saint John Lancaster. You are just sounding off to be heard. You know nothing of New Brunswick politics and from what I have seen you really do not care. You are seeking attention whether it be negative or positive. You have a low self-image and need the attention to build yourself up. Seek counselling, it will probably help you in the long run.

[mourkos]

lol american fags

[rad4life1]

dude thats Canadian parliment here, New Brunswick! Learn youre geography and your politics!

[rad4life1]

America IS only the United States of America... North America is the contanent "America" is the coliquial term for USA dumbass!

[mourkos]

lol I dont give a shit about your coliquial terms, America is America and NOT only the USA, now go fuck yourself

[rad4life1]

Its not MY term! When people say "America" they are talking about the USA...when was the last time you heard some one say..."America" and mean Canada? Go back to primary school and look at an atlas!

[mourkos]

America is a continent, and Americans are the people who live in this continent.

end of discussion

[Pick1980a]

Yeah as much as I hate to admit it no one in Canada calls themselves "Americans".

You should give up because your fighting a losing battle here.

[Misklassiestkittykat]

what do you mean?

[Pick1980a]

This thorkelson guy has been pretty intent on convincing people that this guy is a drunk. He obviously is not and while you may not appreciate his candor you have to be pretty low to suggest that he is an alcoholic.

I just hate people who make things up to destroy the opposition. It reminds me of the republicans in the US.

[faceclutch]

I like this dude!... At least he isn't some stuffy nosed elitist!

[contactjrnow]

Finally a sincere politician. We need more like him just to speak what is on his mind, no politically correct horseshit.

Remember "politically correct" originated in the soviet union and its underlying meaning was "fall in line with the party line....or else."

[Pick1980a]

I love it!

Nice to see a politician say what he means for once!

Love how he is calls the guy outside!

P.S. He is obviously not drunk and not swaying. He was obviously pissed, you need to have your eyes checked!

[thorkelson]

Hes D R U N K drunk! look at how hes swaying back and forth as he talks. I find it strange noone picked up on this angle.

[geraldtlad]

Abel does not drink. You do not know him or whar you are talking about.

[thorkelson]

Come on! In one of the interviews you get a nice closeup of his WC Fields nose! no way you get a nose like that without being a hard core alkie!

Anyway if hes not drunk then its worse for him, for an adult to act like that sober, he must have a much more serious problem!

[rad4life1]

yeah! He is pissed off with the bitches he works with!

[geraldtlad]

I know the man personally and have a great deal of respect for him. He lost his temper, that's all. Good worker for his constituents and a champion of the oppressed. If you do not know the whole story don't judge him by 45 seconds of his over 70 year old life.

[thorkelson]

I start to think maybe you ARE him :D. He might be a good worker for his constituents, and a good MP but that does not excuse his infantile behavior. "Champion of the oppressed" is strange title for someone as vehemently anti-NDP as he is though...

[geraldtlad]

The NDP are not champions for those who cannot speak for themselves, or they would not be in the pro-choice group in the abortion question.

[thorkelson]

is this what Abel is refering to when he says "Anyone who knows me knows I dont agree with their philosophy"? I always wondered, so is he also a closet christian fundamentalist?

[Alliecattie]

Time to RESIGN ABEL!! Your not getting my VOTE. YOU need some anger mangement & be sure to bring Michael and Andrew with you cuz they need it too!!

[zonelad]

alright well then don't vote for him, instead of whining like a whiney little fuck

[lickilysplitz]

I'd fricken love to meet you outside Abel you'd be Abel to get your ass kicked!!!

[cliffdimerandy]

ha fucking right!

[illxplicit07]

YOURE A PUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mcmutt2]

Go Abel!! Stick to your guns!! 3 days in the" penalty box" would be worth it for telling that old hag off!!

[mcmutt2]

Amen Abel!! Stick to your guns. Although it did get him 3 days in the "penalty box"

[DH2020]

Don Cherry would have been proud!

[eyesphere]

Anyone mind telling me what he's pissed off about? I share these feelings towards our PM... or the Dark Sith Lord as I like to call him...

[hyperseauton]

Ohhhh, this man is a Saint!

[KatelynnSMWC]

I wish american politicians had the balls to do this. Our country would be a shitload more interesting and things would probably get done.

[bernalj90]

New Brunswick Provincial Legislature...it's serious business

[Calypso016]

hahahahahha!!

[jibbi4one]

Ah... don't get you're panties tied up.

For once Canadian politics get spicy and off the politically correct diatribe.

Wow... he's a fiesty longshoreman.

So when do we see him at the federal level ??

love it !!

[greenleaflink]

dudes awesome!!

if more had the balls he had shit would get done

[tnweber333]

That guy rocks!

[luckyvet]

He's awesome.  honest, to the point, and passionate.

The opposite of every politician I know.

[thorkelson]

what is the background to this? what got him so upset? I mean its provincial politics, what could be so extreme here?

[cleodel88]

Actually the provinces have a fair amount of power due to the 2nd residual clause in the constitution and the increase in importance of health care and education.

[thorkelson]

Not that provinces dont have important powers, but its hardly the sorts of issues one gets so emotional about, unlike federal politics where the issues of legislating morality, sending people to war, immigration, foreign policy, etc... can understandably get people hot under the collar, my question is hat is the issue that has reduced this gentleman to, frankly, acting like a 6 year old.

[chiliconcarne2006]

new liberal tactics? shameful

[YouSuckMyPeanutts]

hes my hero

[S0vereignty]

A Liberal with balls and testosterone? I guess not all liberal men are pansies.

[sprtn007]

I like this guy.

[atticusheights]

this all over the NB power sale to quebec hydro... the most ignorant and retarded move made by a rookie liberal govt who just should know better

[gregoryohdotcom]

epic.

[nanotech2006]

i just like the end : youre a PUNK ( with the echo )

[sansam25]

Hee! This is so funny!

[bmaysS01]

Why must politicians be civil? From my understanding the most civil people on this planet such a David Rockefeller, Queen Elizabeth, and Pope Benedict are also the most evil scum on this planet. Why can't politicians be real, why do they have to hide behind a suit and tie?

[deziistheone]

@bmaysS01 Because the nature of their field is based on deceit, hypocrisy and contradiction. That being said, I like seeing a bit of real emotion come out of a suit.

[FreeMMOGameReviews]

He aint taking no shit from no one

[ILockItDown]

lawlcats

[spagettiandblankets]

lmao

[abola2121]

lol I share the same name as this guy.

[DH2020]

Yeah!!!! you tell em abel, don't take shit from nobody!!!

[sukkkmyballs]

new bruinswick girls are fugly.

[geraldtlad]

When Abel was elected, he was elected because he was a hard worker and fought for people who were disadvantaged due to different circumstances. those that know him, also know his fiery temper. I have seen it first hand. He lost his temper and reacted.

What happened when Pierre Trudeau used the "F" word in Canadian Parliament. Nothing! Because he lied and denied he said it. It was a big joke!

[abdool1972]

East Coast Canadians punch douchbags OUT in politics. It's how we role.

[blugreenblu]

what the hell was that all about?

[freedomlover902]

I guess when your caucus is trying to commit high treason by selling NB Power to the separatist province you're bound to be under some stress....?

The NB libs are treasonous and should be booted out of office.

[acms3]

yes

[keegansillaf]

Ya man people talkn shiz in new Brunswick.

[NORTHERNKONFLIKT]

this is nothing.

in Ukrainian parliament they usually have brawls.

[1qazabcd]

Canada is the land for everyone, any race and any language....

Anyone who doesn't like that can f off.....

[crushwack07]

nigga stands for what he believes in. That's respectable.

[cliffdimerandy]

look at the drunken toughguy. fuck you abel you greasy bastard!

[geraldtlad]

How many times must a person be told the man does not drink!!!!?????

[dancingsupastar]

My friend backed into this guys car before. I'm surprised he didn't flip him off.

[hofnerman1]

When "our" lol politicians threaten one another openly with bodily violence, our government has reached it's all time lowest. No better than a bunch of school yard bullies and with about the same amount of intelligence. And THEY are the ones that are running this country and our lives right into the ground. Change is coming. Are YOU ready?

[cajean1]

fantastic! i wanna buy that crazy asshole a beer

[geraldtlad]

He won't drink it.

[thorkelson]

thats what you think, I know better... Heh heh he he he!

[mcgrawmark]

that guy is a fucknut.

[Ulai777]

This guy needs to move to B.C. and get some medical!

[Newmicon]

A proud day to be born in New Brunswick...
