Jeremiah Norbert: A Failure, A Hypocrite and a Blatant Liar

Micoud North MP Jeremiah Norbert has proven to be not just a failure as a parliamentary representative, but also a blatant liar who has turned his back on the very people who once stood by him.

The Integrity Commission plays a crucial role…

Four Years of victimization: Why Is the Blanchard Community Center Still Closed?
