Co-protestors are allied with the Mount Allison University "Divest MTA" group and anti-oil and gas movements such as "Extinction Rebellion". Says a lot to me.
Facebook page images below from their gathering as a "co-working community"
at the town's old firehall now owned by wealthy 'preferred' developer John Lafford. 'Community agitators' are given free reign to spread their political messaging in our town and they get rewarded to do it.... way to go JN Lafford Realty. Lafford's development company is mentioned in this report by Bruce Wark. Amazingly, when Jamie Burke is not working for EOS Eco on a multimillion dollar pond project he is helping to get tax relief for Lafford.
"Sackville Town Council has adopted an economic development incentive program that could save developers, including JN Lafford Realty Inc., hundreds of thousands of dollars in municipal property taxes over periods of five and 10 years."

Also worth noting is Indigenous Economic Development sponsored and partnered with banksters and the military industrial complex giant "Lockheed Martin".. why? Modern economic warfare.
From their facebook... note their promotion of UNDRIP...

" #latergram This weekend community members came together at The Commons to discuss the struggles of the Wet'suwet'en and how we as community members can be better activists, allies, settlers on Mi'kmagi , support people on the front lines and protect our environment, too.
Making sure there is space for these kinds of circles is an important part of what we do!#wetsuwetenstrong #communityconversation #decolonize#mikmaq #reconciliation @ Sackville Commons & Coworking "
Meanwhile the "Sackville Commons" hub agitator Julia Feltham's partner Michael Freeman hopes to work with Lafford and is seeking money for his farmer's market to have a permanent building at the cost of the taxpayers.

All the while no one has dealt with the corruption surrounding the acquisition of the old town's firehall with CAO Phil and Julia's assistance/collusion by Lafford who is a prolific builder of smartgrowth housing downtown, like the latest shown below next to the university's [swan] pond: "The 35, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments, will come in a variety of sizes from 1,000 to 1,250 and 1,400 square feet. There will also be two 1,600 square foot units with lofts. Rents for the smaller apartments will range from $1,250 to $1,750 per month with utilities included." [Bruce Wark info]
