Tantramar Grows!: "Not So Soft Grifting" by Hardscrabble Press in Sackville New Brunswick and the Anti Capitalists of Tantramarshire Gatherings

Word has it that the old abandoned Via Rail station stone building in Sackville New Brunswick is going to be put into the hands of this "Hardscrabble" organization.. an interesting story.. and we'll see if that is actually on the books and in the plans soon enough.

Wishing a Happy Turtle Island Day to Canadians from coast to coast to coast .. eh?

Some people think respecting their history is patriotism.. but is it?  Why do some statues get torn down [Cornwallis in Halifax is just one example] and some are getting put up? Who is deciding?

"The June 6, 2024 Calgary Churchill Statue Dedication and Sir Winston Churchill Society of Calgary Annual Memorial Banquet with Randolph Churchill III

​The Sir Winston Churchill Society of Calgary commemorated D-Day, June 6, 1944 with an 80th anniversary tribute to the Canadians who served that day and on every day during the Second World War.
 
We did so by erecting a statue of Sir Winston Churchill on McDougall Centre grounds, Calgary, with speeches by the Honourable Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, the Honourable Jason Kenney, Randolph Churchill III, and by Dr. Mark Milke, president of the Sir Winston Churchill Society of Calgary.   

We were also pleased to hold our 58th annual memorial dinner and D-Day commemoration, with an address from the great grandson of Sir Winston Churchill, Randolph Churchill III, entitled “Churchill's Linchpin: Canada and the Liberation of Europe.”
