"Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us" - Linda McQuaig and Neil Brooks, co-authors

 At this video link:  Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us


Sep 25, 2026 WARNING: contains some explicit language
The 2026 Gideon Rosenbluth Memorial Lecture featured authors Linda McQuaig and Neil Brooks, co-authors of the book Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us. Hosted by Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives Senior Economist Marc Lee.


Watch Linda McQuaig and Neil Brooks at this video link:  Cancelling Billionaires Before They Cancel Us: The Urgent Case for a Wealth Tax by Linda McQuaig | Goodreads



"A jarring portrait of a deeply unequal Canada and how a wealth tax could rein in the destructive power wielded by today’s billionaires.

As the ultra-wealthy siphon off an ever-larger share of the world’s wealth, they now dominate us to a degree unimaginable even a decade ago. With their voracious consumption, unbridled resource exploitation, and relentless obstruction of climate action, they are rapidly undermining democracy and destroying the very viability of the earth for human life.


Their staggering power and hoarding of wealth have prompted a number of G20 nations to consider imposing a wealth tax, aimed exclusively at the super-rich. In Canada, such a tax would apply only to those with wealth above $25 million. Yet it could collect $40 billion a year — funding public programs that could immensely improve the lives of millions of Canadians while clipping the wings of the super-rich.


Billionaires would threaten to depart. But as they left the country that had nourished them and enabled them to grow so wildly rich, they’d face a hefty “exit tax” on the way out.


Yes, change is possible."


TLA IDEAS for NEW concrete skatepark project AND Housing for Tantramarshire! [ Updated ]

Some things are worth advocating for...

Local Bruce Wark, Warktimes.com
won't cover the skatepark project,
King John III or this blogger's work...
 and why it even exists...
perhaps liberty isn't his concern?


Why was former Mayor Andrew Black 
joining with advocates 
online who
promoting and advancing 
financed/funded 
Tiny House Projects
instead of helping to 
get a youth skatepark
project completed?

More here:


Would Andrew Black himself live in one
of these dog house / kennels / shed homes?



Bruce Wark @
Warktimes.com
has censored and suppressed some commentary over the years by me [or edited comments] 
at his website...  why?


Liberty, joy and fun are 
most desirable goals...

Facebook is no longer 
accessible to me... why?




Great Skateparks Make Great Towns

Recalling some group postering from the way back 
machine with Julien and our skate youth 
 - these youth made an effort advocating for a new skatepark.. 
which is more than any of 
our overpaid, arrogant, lazy town hall staffers have done
or our ineffectual, uninspired, duly elected politicians
 so far... [many of whom were Rotary club minions]



there was no scientific proof that face masks 
save lives at all 
... so why all the complying with the nonsense!



The new "Town of Tantramar"
electorate consists of 9,019 people but only about 1,000 or so had voted for 
Mayor Andrew Black ...


"Wearing a mask is identifying you as one of the 95% to be killed, 
because you're identified as stupid and not reacting 
to save your own life... wearing a mask 
is dressing the same as the 
pedophiles dress .. 
so that the pedophiles feel at home." 
- Joseph Gregory Hallett, King John III


MASK MANDATOR & VAXX PROMOTER
  & ill-informed former Town of Sackville
 Mayor Shawn Mesheau


Please Take Notice:

Our New King John III does not recommend face masks or unsafe vaccines!


Who will work hard to assure the completion of a 
new great big concrete skatepark project venue for our youth?  

Former Mayor Bob #StayHome advocate 'Boomer' Berry,
a Rotary Club guy, had
passed over on this project 
during his time as mayor [2012-2016]


Former Mayor Mesheau 
standing second from the right back row
in the group photo below
had no plans to get this project done..


In the late summer of 2012 
this was the line-up in the town hall palace:

Mayor Bob Berry, 
Councillor Bruce Phinney, 
Councillor Bill Evans,
 Councillor Ron Aiken,
Councillor Margo Tucz-King, 
Councillor  Mike Tower, 
Councillor Shawn Mesheau,
Councillor Joyce McNeil, 
and Councillor Ron Corbett...

 [total inept out of touch boomer demographics none of them are in 
the role of Mayor or Town Councillors in 2026
and some of them are dead - Bob Berry & Ron Corbett]

... Fact is:  in 2012 a motivated and organized group of about a dozen or so 
skateboarding youth came together to make a public appeal and 
presentation in our then new $14million town hall for their new concrete skatepark
what happened?  Essentially, they were smiled at and ignored.. 


so this ongoing online appeal is 
for them and their friends and

 all the local skateboarders and future 
skateboarders and all the visitors and helpful locals... 
and skateboarding tourists, eager travellers,
enthusiasts and beginners and weekend adventurers...
we want to get this project done now..


I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU! 

YOUTH LIVES MATTER! 
WE ARE TANTRAMAR!

Of note the Town of Sackville 
had no problem spending $10,000 
each for black metal flower pots 
scattered by dozens 
around the Town's downtown 
since 2012.

How is this possible for them to ignore the youth's skatepark venue request? There is money to spend on many expensive flower pots? Who is making these spending decisions?

As many readers are aware already this blog exists due to 
censorship online by the management/technocrats in 
the town of Sackville NB .. censorship of taxpayers/homeowners
in the region is a 'bad business' and you don't need a well paid consultant to inform you of that truth.. do you?
I try here to keep abreast of their ongoing
shenanigans as should we all on the real issues that matter - 
as does Bruce Wark with a journalistic background..



The gifted Lund Property now an addition to the Sackville Waterfowl Park offers a unique opportunity for creative fundraising.  Along the park's Squire Street portion there could be divided off private home building lots for at least 10 single-family homes and those building lots if sold off to private home owners/developers/builders by the Town of Sackville would raise the money needed to cover the cost to build a great new concrete skatepark venue which a local youth group requested in their presentation in the town hall... Perhaps this project when completed could put our town on the map for a great sports venue & tourism.. a low maintenance investment!  I have never presented in Town Hall as follow up to their group... that's not necessary.. their efforts are already on the public record.

Another option would be to put affordable co-op housing that would utilize this section of land along Squire Street backing onto woods at the Lund park and create a series of well designed dwellings for many families and low-income renters and especially those with mobility issues who require the ground floor suites for accessible living.  Rental suites could be multi-level design that utilize vertical space for each unit and create a feeling of a 'village life on the park greenbelt -- as the one across the pond does next to St. Paul's Anglican Church.  Squire Street is a popular dead end street in a desirable part of town ... this would be a good opportunity for the Town to make use of this property.. especially for those of low-income who do not own cars... A "Squire Street Co-Op" -- tucked into an old established neighbourhood in the downtown.  The beauty of living in this part of town is you have most services within easy walking distance and don't need a vehicle.  The design of this project would be a wonderful opportunity to create something special here.

Another location for a skatepark option was...


Photo above from .. 

Bruce Wark @ 
Warktimes.com... more on that property that was snapped up by millionaire Percy Best is here:


Possible skatepark location off Exit 506 at the end of Bridge Street - Highway visible open space?


I know that the town management values feedback from the public so I offer this suggestion

Facebook is not available to me.  A lot of censorship and blacklisting in town of me.. sadly.

I was censored/blocked off comments @ Town of Sackville on Facebook since 2015.

Facebook deleted my account in 2019... its a really tough crowd around here.


Park to be dedicated to Cst. David Ross, Cst. Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, and Cst. Douglas James Larche who were killed in the Moncton shootings of June 2014 and fallen hero Cst. Frank Deschenes.



The reality is that by thinking outside the box here no one needs to fundraise or beg for any donations at all [as the former employee Mr. Cole of Parks and Rec had said to me that the youth must do... but he's wrong] and our youth would then of course benefit immensely from Mr. Lund's gift for us all because its all about sharing the wealth.. isn't it?


Creative financing and fundraising does not have to be difficult or complicated.  We should hold our politicians and staff accountable to the public that they serve when requests are put forth.  I also realize this was before Matt Pryde and Jamie Burke were in their jobs but this is now something well within their capacity to act on behalf of the youth. There is nothing stopping them putting their heads together now to achieve this great goal.
I suggest our well paid Town's staff get on with this project!


More new homes would be a great addition and the new homeowners would enjoy backing onto a greenbelt -- one of the great pleasures enjoyed in this sweet little town on the marshlands.  New homes add to our tax base, are good for building economy with jobs for skilled tradesmen, and will drive new people and possibly business ventures here improving our overall economic and civic growth.

I am not now nor was I ever involved in fundraising for local refugee placement groups; I prefer to work on a real project of value ... and support our young Canadians and the betterment of their quality of life... and by advocating for health and safety of the young children in our public schools in the province of New Brunswick @ Safe Schools N.B. since 2011.. more here:



Youtube has deleted five video channel accounts ... three of them in less than one year? Pity.
Facebook deleted me in 2015... its been difficult to keep connected the way normal people do.  
I'm an outlier, clearly, and I have had to employ the 'workaround' many times in my life here.


Maybe you're one of the unhelpful people who have thrown my handmade posters in the garbage?

If you don't want to help please don't interfere with the efforts that were started here in 1980s by a local youth Duncan and more recently in 2012 by Ethan - grandson of the former Mayor Pat Estabrooks - and many others along the way ... And just so you understand my position:  I am censored by the Town for advocating for a positive project for the youth.  I have driven car loads of youth to various skateparks in the maritimes and I am well aware of the joy of the sport and appreciate the athletics of the sport for the fun and freedom that it brings to youth; that's what adults do with some vision and some ambition .. they find constructive ways for the young to play; they don't sit on the sidelines criticizing those who are actually doing some advocacy.  I'm interested in ideas and concepts and possibly a first -- a hempcrete skatepark -- I'm not interested in nobodies online whining that it can't be done  "by Moms" 
because that is how
 a lot of things are done .. 
quietly, without fanfare 
and zero ego ...
this project IS NOT 
about me.

I have spent lots of time doing posters, photography and promotion for this great youth project for a number of years with little media help
there is 
lots of interest 
in a new, great park.

It will happen because of efforts made
by good people who don't seek anything other
than creative collaboration for the benefit of
 our deserving local youth who do not have a
 voice in politics and decision making.

I have, in person, also advised 
Erica Butler CBC and Bruce Wark  @Warktimes.com
and at his site in 2019 
about this initiative...




Parrsboro Nova Scotia — Bruce Wark started this website in 2015 before moving to Sackville NB? I started Tantramar Landowners Association in 2015 after a lot of censorship by the Town of Sackville online and discovering them happy to ignore the youth who presented in Town Hall about a new skatepark in the summer of 2013 .. I was surprised they went ahead with a $1/2million playground rebuild and splash park instead of a great concrete skatepark and I felt the disappointment of the youth in the Mayor Berry’s decision to do this project instead of the youth’s skatepark project and I wondered if it was because the group was represented by the previous Mayor Pat Estabrooks grandson Ethan.. perhaps I will never know the politics of this small town but there is definitely an agenda at work that is “rotary” led.. Mayors with Rotary connections should not be elected to lead the direction of the town in future.

Comment from Bruce Wark: Yes, this blog dates from February 2015 covering news in the town of Parrsboro and vicinity. I had been covering Parrsboro news for CICR-FM, the local community radio station for about two years, but finally quit in frustration and started my own local news service. After moving to Sackville in 2016, I started covering local news here mainly for CHMA-FM, the campus/community radio station, but after a year, I quit to devote more effort to Warktimes. CHMA does not cover much local news even though it’s supposed to under the terms of its broadcast licence. I send radio versions of my Warktimes stories to CFTA, the community station in Amherst. As far as I can tell, very few people listen to CHMA. Each student at Mt. A. is required to contribute $40 per academic year to CHMA and $33 to the Argosy, the student newspaper. Unlike CHMA, the Argosy actually covers campus and town news."


 We don't need anymore 
funded climate change hysteria!

Its senseless, wasteful, unfounded fear-mongering and its got to stop.

With thanks to the late 
Dr. Tim Ball
for your wisdom and courage


I have challenged others to look into the 
claims of Joseph Gregory Hallett...
 I am one of the few people 
in Canada 
willing to publish 
on this man Greg Hallett.. 
why?

Is there a gag order on this man by CBC? Why?
We should be celebrating our New King!


Do Canadian journalists lie by omission by not publishing important stories for Canadians? yes.

If you are a journalist and you are not covering this story you are not doing your job and you are also guilty of collaborating with the medical-academic-military-industrial complex at this point...  please keep it in mind ...  you are being monitored...

just some friendly advice from the 
King's Patriots ....
and...
Digital Dames.. 


notice has been given and there is no excuse
to continue to ignore this important story..
so why is this still not widely reported on?



Check out the Amherst Skatepark video below to see what a REAL concrete project looks like.



Skater was Bronson Nicholas... one of the youth who grew up here making videos and helping at the skatepark as an employee of the Town of Sackville in the summertime.

I feel proud to be part of the skatepark advocacy culture in our region... its a very good cause!!






Added to THE Indie Media Eastcoast Bitchute for back up purposes here:









What does the Rotary Club of Sackville like to support?  Definitely not a skatepark project.. right ?

Defunding and Opting Out of the South East Regional Services Commission

Matt Pryde Parks & Rec: 
“ I think there’s a lot of opportunity here for us to be a leader in our trails, our cultural events, and just being a great opportunity for the Southeast Regional Service Commission to use Tantramar as kind of their test dummy, I guess, for any of their initiatives that they’re using in recreation.”






How about we all opt out from the South East Regional Service Commission this year and put the money saved towards developing our neighbourhoods, new streets, maintained bridges, sidewalks, roads, affordable housing and new villages in Tantramar?

Saving over $1,200,000!

SERSC was sold to us as a great thing.. it came about in 2013.. but is it worthwhile.. is it really a great thing? SERSC - South East Regional Services Commission explained to us at the recent Town Hall meeting presentation by busy "double-dipper" Salisbury Town Councillor Stephanie Thorne - find her on LinkedIn here:

Stephanie Thorne - Southeast Regional Service Commission | LinkedIn


Golf game duly noted:  Royal Oaks | Golf Club

PUSHY "Motor mouth" Thorne sits on the SERSC as Chief Financial Officer - watch her "performance" in the Town Hall looking for $$

here: Committee of the Whole Meeting - September 28, 2026 - YouTube



Just how much money is Ms. Thorne being paid for her "helpful" efforts in New Brunswick? See more at this link about the staffers at SERSC:  Staff


More "planners", "bureaucrats", and overpaid staffers who seem to ONLY grow their organization endlessly larger every year is really something we actually don't need; its something we should opt out from!  As for the mosquitos and costs to "kill them off" I'd advise Stephanie that perhaps its a problem here that we created since our previous Town Hall staffer Jamie Burke CEO had insisted we needed more of those ponds which it turns out are breeding grounds for mosquitos - imagine that? Stupid is as stupid does.. those ponds, by the way, cost millions of dollars... you cannot fix stupid but you can point it out to others who are sleepwalking through life.
