CHSJ News Not Given Access To Harper's Visit

CHSJ News would love to tell you about the Prime Minister's visit in Saint John but we were turned away from attending a media event at the Irving Oil Refinery.

An official with the Prime Minister's office denied entry to two local newsroom because they are radio stations claiming the event was a photo-op only. Television reporters and other photographers were given access.

CHSJ News includes pictures with every news story posted to our blog and, at times, video.

The P-M-O has had its own fair share of criticism heaped upon it. Former federal Environment Minister Peter Kent described the so-called enemies list as "juvenile and embarrassing". 


A former Conservative M-P who left the party's caucus to sit as an independent charged the P-M-O treats M-P's like they're "trained seals".
