Mel's Tearoom ends a 77 year long run in October 2022 - thanks Wendy & crew - contact @ melstearoom1945@gmail.com


 Big-hearted Wendy Epworth picked out this cup for me.. its from the UK... like me.


We are so happy that our beloved Mel’s sign will remain in our new town of Tantramar, finding its home on The Dorchester Jail ❤️


Mel's Tea Room in Dorchester? Local history buff buys iconic neon sign to keep it in Tantramar » CHMA 106.9 FM (chmafm.com)

I was drawn in by the lit up sign... I dropped by their place on their last night and donated $20 and dropped off one of my infamous cards. Wendy and Dave Epworth's crew and relatives were working hard cleaning out and emptying their items and stuff - its all up for sale still -- I picked out a little white teapot, white cup and a sugar packets holder, for my souvenirs... feel free to show them some love and support as they finish their "Mel's" journey and make their way to what's next for them.. Twas a rough ride during convid, and the other problems this last year.  Thanks for organizing the Buskerfest Wendy, good fun.

Good news though... Dave Epworth will be the man behind the food and drinks service counter now at the local ice rink!

What happened to the Epworth's causing their problems and big loss of this well-known much-loved family business? Here:

"Mel's Tearoom

Brian Lloyd French --it’s tragic & we are devastated. We bought the business from Ken Mikalauskas in late 2018. Had 2019 as our only “normal” year, the covid 2020 & 2021. Survived that. In 2022 our kitchen ceiling collapsed because Ken failed to repair a roof that had been leaking for years. We have been closed since then. He sold the building to someone else when we had always planned to purchase the building - and after covid years, needed to own the building to make our bottom line work. Tried to sell Mel’s for the last 2 months to ensure it would continue - no luck. We had until midnight tonight to vacate the space."

..my favourite so far is the Cherry... not too sweet... 



"Sackvillecube" is a fan appreciation page
on Instagram.... apparently celebrating
communism amongst other things..
only vaxxed employees are welcome there.
Where's the farm?
161 Monk Point Rd, Lunenburg, NS B0J 2C0
about 300 plus kilometers away
its where their coastal product is harvested...
a three hour drive away [roughly]...
isn't that outside the 100 mile go local rule?
I don't plan to buy their
products now I know they are discriminating
against workers in a small town.
Vote with your money.

"Hounds of Vintage" hounds Painted Pony & Maxime Bernier, PPC Nancy Mercier in Beausejour supporters



Read about it here first!
 
Facebook page 

"Hounds of Vintage" https://www.facebook.com/houndsofvintage/

"An Open Letter from Hounds of Vintage
Hello,
I am writing to express my concern for a Meet & Greet you are hosting this Friday with People’s Party of Canada candidate from Shediac, Nancy Mercier. Both Leader of PPC Maxime Bernier and Nancy Mercier both continually share inaccurate news on the climate catastrophe, encourage their members to speak out publicly against abortion and gender identity rights, and spout dangerous nationalist rhetoric that aligns with an alt-right political agenda.
I am your neighbour, and I am Queer. When voices like these are given platforms in my community I DO NOT FEEL SAFE OR WELCOME, nor do I feel like this community is a safe place for my customers, friends and family, both biological and chosen.
I encourage you to consider the implications of hosting such events. Events like this give voices to HATRED, BIGOTRY, AND VIOLENCE, and further the oppression and discrimination of marginalized people. By hosting such political ideologies in your establishment you are saying to me I am not welcome there, or in this town in general. This is not a message I would like associated with this town or my business.
Again, I would reconsider hosting this event and strongly think about cancelling. If not, you will definitely see my LOUD QUEER VOICE at your doorsteps Friday evening.
Sincerely,
Derrick Dixon
Business Owner,
Hounds of Vintage,
Sackville, NB"

Derrick .. I don't care if you are queer but if you are anti-free speech intolerant nazi dude then we have a problem..  you're a very naughty naughty fellow for doing this targetting and bullying -- if this is your idea of "social justice" I think its unjust and anti-social.. #radical agenda

Some people in this town are so intolerant of free speech they call the police over words... its very weak behaviour... this is what universities are producing.. and this is the kind of behaviour they think is perfectly normal ... yikes!:

"Tasia Alexopoulos Good for them.
Still won't ever forgive the time the owners called the cops on a local feminist for making a complaint online about a Ladies Night event (and she was questioned by police for over an hour) but, hey, this is something!"


"The Painted Pony Bar & Grill I thought I would respond to your message on Facebook giving you the full information regarding that particular situation. The feminist that you are speaking of did not write a complaint she posted that she wanted to burn the restaurant down. A student from the University called the RCMP and told them of the message. No one from the Painted Pony contacted the RCMP ...they actually contacted us after that post was placed as we were unaware of that threat. When the police contacted us we asked them to do nothing regarding it but because of the threat they had to follow through with it. Part of the problem with social media people jump on the bandwagon and start commenting on stuff that they're not fully aware of so I just thought I would let you know that is how the situation transpired"

Tasia Alexopoulos The Painted Pony Bar & Grill Hi again. I was with the student when the police called her and I took her to the police station. I spoke with a lawyer and her parents during the ordeal. So I'm not just "jumping on the bandwagon" actually. The police told her, outright, that the Painted Pony was charging her during her questioning. They showed her screenshots of facebook comments (that did not threaten to burn the restaurant down, she stated the misogyny should burn). So, that's on the cops for lying I guess. This all transpired after students asked multiple times for the "all you can drink" Ladies Night event to be cancelled. Everyone received rude responses. It's understandable that people were angry after expressing their legitimate concerns about and event that was all about getting women drunk fast and cheap. And thank you for responding publicly, you seem to think that's not what I wanted but I commented publicly so I think it's very transparent of you to do so."

A Little Background On Tasia Here:

Derrick follows up with...

"We sincerely appreciate the response we have had from The Painted Pony Bar & Grill regarding this issue. This is how you respond to bigotry and hatred and I am so proud to live and work in a town that takes action so swiftly. Thank you ❤️

Shit Canadian Communitarians Do......


Shit communitarians say would be amusing if they weren't such "moochers" and lovers of the entitlement culture of #gibsmedat.. #fake entrepreneurship #scammers #sidewinders #nannystatists #meddlers #anti-capitalists #communitarian shills

"“Our subsidized model is enabled through fantastic sponsors & partners.” #StartupPodcasthttps://lnkd.in/dJUpPJA Purpose driven...a impactful way to do business. Takes a village...listen in"

---------------------------

and no........ it doesn't take a village...... what is true is that it takes hard work, effort, drive and ambition... not more nannystatism.

We have a lot of this crap fomenting in the 'hub' known as "The Commons" here in Sackville NB too.

They feel their work is 'transformational'... and it is ... its definitely a departure from capitalism.
Public-private-partnerships are not entrepreneurial - they are cronyism/communitarian, "commi" ..
and I am watching politicians like the Mayor of Sackville John Higham promote them with gusto.
Vote John out in 2020.. time to go John.. the region does not need more public-private-partnerships.
