Tantramar 2035.. and more... gripping stuff!!!!!

Doug "Net Zero" Bliss.. a doomer gloomer boomer makes his demands known as a chief at "Ccac" representing dozens of people in the club of climateering and advocacy for the region!  The Town paid the group almost five thousands of dollars to run a session.. is that a good use of public funds? Discuss.

And.. we also have some word salad delivered by the planners.. of course.. who we really can't forget or ignore due to their endless meddling and contributions.. can we? Paid to "help us" Craig Pollett, Strategic Steps Inc. presents as another lucrative grifter group based out of Alberta.. here:  Home | Strategic Steps Inc
