The current Mayor Andrew Black is a skateboarder so he understands the joy of the sport very well..
he is also re-offering in this election as Town Councillor for Ward 3 in Tantramar and if he is elected I pledge to hold his feet to the fire as I continue to nudge the project forward.. it has been years of advocating in the region for the youth and unfortunately so far not much has been done due a lack of interest by Matt Pryde Parks & Rec. Hopefully, the new Mayor can kick Matt's ass into gear to really get this long overdue youth project going in 2026.
Matt Pryde hangs out "working" now at the ice rink [not the town hall] and his partner in crime there is Jamie Ferguson [a newer hire by the Town].. Pryde has been asked directly by me to get this project going for a number of years.. and yes, they do now have a Facebook page here [ I do not ] :
Why is their comment section now removed/closed at their website? Why are they asking for donations? Why haven't they tonned down their fearporn since the Emergency Declaration in New Brunswick was revoked June 9th>???
Meanwhile, ongoing promotion of vaxx profits big pharma ... so perhaps ask them why this is their focus on their Facebook page. Why would healthy people need to get jabbed? Big pharma vaxx corporations are making record-breaking profits and their products are not tested... are they reporting on anybody who has suffered from a vaxx injury? I know no one who has died from covid but I have three deaths in my immediate circle from the vaxx.
Very odd to see so much focus on vaxx there and zero attention to the downside. So does a pharmacist really have the education, authority and credentials to give medical advice and promote untested vaxx? Very concerning... very unfortunate behaviour.. this is not a good situation at all.. people would do well to understand the meaning of 'informed consent'. The culture of fear in the Tantramar has not let up in over a year and a half.. why?
Are the folks here being browbeaten and coerced into taking a vaxx? Yes.
My advice: Ignore these people and listen to a practicing doctor of integrity in Ontario who is from Sussex New Brunswick.. he and I spoke on the phone earlier this year... I recommend people proceed with caution and consider people promoting the vaxx to be irresponsible at this point, [especially those pushing it on children and old people]

Charles Beaver, pharmacist in town keeps us all up to date on his progress in hitting as many locals - including children - as he possibly can with the covid jabbies.... [interviewer is a big vaxx enthusiast - Meg Cunningham at Mount Allison University] .. listen to their interview at this link:
Hey Erica, How does it feel working for the deep state brainwashing organization here like Pravda?
I noticed your comment section has been removed entirely.. do you think it should be ignored what the public think at this point? Probably not a good plan.
Latest on "the history behind the lack of local representation" from the university hack Erica.
CHMA don't want your commentary but they do want your donations.... what a joke.. a bad joke.

CHMA broadcasts on the unceded traditional territory of the Mi’kmaq in the Siknikt District. We honour and respect the territory of Mi’kma’ki.
Charles is a very misinformed, unhelpful, and badly
intentioned local man who unnecessarily promotes fear in the region ...
so why does he do it?
More infommercials heard and seen at CHMA 106.9 fm university radio station website by Erica and Meg featuring Charles Beaver, a local big pharma vaxx sales rep. aka affluent pharmacist -- non-critical reporting, again, from the 'community' supported, funded radio station on campus at Mount Allison University.
Just have to say: low quality, low paid reporting work at Mount Allison University's radio station CHMA 106.9 fm is consistently lacking in integrity, honesty and fact-checking ..... Charles Beaver at Guardian Drug Store continues to be spotlighted
& cheerfully promotes and avidly markets untested/ unsafe/ unapproved new vaxx product to human test subjects.... note that the vaxx has been authorized due to the state of emergency... untrue declarations made on the record and fear-based promotion by Charles Beaver, who is not a doctor, and just can't wait to nail as many folks as possible, even in your car at curbside, and bragging about the number of customers he has had and how busy he is with the vaxx work! His wife, 55, has taken the vaxx and feels just fine.
Guardian Drug store has been enthusiastic about dispensing flu shots for big pharma vaxx for many years ... Charles Beaver is not a doctor so why is he even allowed to be credible in giving us all medical health care advice?
It is not a pandemic Charles Beaver ... and as there are only 36 dead in over a year in N.B. from covid19 there is no reason for the panic.. why are you doing this? Less than cancer deaths or the annual flu death toll. What's all the fuss?
Say 'no' to the bullshit being spouted by these so-called 'pillars of our community'....
Maybe CHMA should take a break from spreading manure online and across the radio airwaves. When did honesty become so hated? When did journalists become so corrupted?
Poster at Guardian's window...
What is wrong with the critical thinking skills of so many people promoting vaxx big pharma?
If you have no idea what is in a vaccine product but want to stick it into your body to 'save your life' I really cannot relate to you.. especially if you're wearing a face diaper... you're not intelligent enough to save your own life.
The chattering class coming out of universities just love to call for 'change' and for 'control' and they're happily calling it 'food security'. I do not see it as anything but 'food control' - sorry to say this to you Laura but you are a 'useful idiot' programmed to serve obediantly for the nannystate and for further restrictions and control mechanisms - that's a big problem. I know you don't see it that way but as you are funded and submissive to UN Agenda 2030 I do not see why you should be trusted as you are also a political green candidate and a shill.. what you did with your agitating team last year instigating angst and stress needlessly by promoting a climate strike with the misinformed youth here shows you cannot be trusted, at all. Please sit down.. and do some soul-searching and research.
"Food liberty" is going to be the conversation in 2021 going forward by people who are not 'funded' and 'micromanaged' and 'part of the communitarian network' - so what does communitarian mean?
The recovery rate for this flu is very high. Has CHMA reported on that percentage being in the high 90s? The fearmongering is epic in this region. Less people have died from Covid-designated cause than have died from cancer in 2020 in the region… did we ever close down our society for any other ‘scare’? Just asking for friends in Tantramar who do not concur with the current hysterics being promoted by the local ‘covid taskforce’ led by Rotary President USA born ex-military McKeller who has a lot to answer for — I know you won’t publish this comment but I will be making note of your censorship, again. Leave the children alone. If you continue this campaign of fear you will have to deal with the consequences. Strive for integrity and honesty.

Second year voice student and Indigenous student support group (ISSG) secretary/treasurer Rowan White says the statements are appreciated, but more work needs to be done.
White, who is from the Qalipu Nation of Ktaqm’kuk in Mi’kma’ki, visited the Saulnierville wharf with the ISSG and Divest Mount A volunteers to provide support.
RW: So our group has been going down in person to help organize move supplies, document what’s going on. We’ve also been gathering financial donations, donations of physical goods and storing them and bringing them down, as well as pressuring both the student union and university administration to put out statements and in support, both of which have been done.
MC: Do you have any thoughts about either of those statements?
RW: I was super touched that we are the first university and the first student union to actually make a public declaration about what is currently going on all through Nova Scotia. So I was really proud. The student union has been working directly with us to be super, super helpful and we really appreciate that. And of course, there’s always things to be done. But it’s a great first step.
MC: What can those who live on the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people do to support the fishers at the moment? What could somebody like me who’s not involved in the Mount Allison community or a neighbor do to help out?
RW: Oh, there are lots of ways. One of the most important is knowing about whose land you occupy. Knowing about their traditions, their treaties, and their current struggles. So being up to date is part of that, watching what’s going on and understanding why it’s so important to us as people is huge to all of us. Of course, there are lots of ways of finding this out through people on the ground through different organizations and through the media, but each of those are going to have their flaws, of course. There are lots of channels for physical and financial donations, we’re still handling them through the Mount A ISSG. And to share our story and our struggles and our excellence as well, with the more mainstream audience. A lot of Indigenous spaces are very cut off in terms of the groups that we can reach. So we need allies to be able to help spread what we’re saying.
MC: Do you have any recommendations for educational resources for people who want to learn more and engage?
RW: Absolutely, you can always reach out to any Indigenous organizations that might be around you. There is one website called Four Directions Teachings, which has a specific section on the Mi’kmaq people. Seven Generations talks about the ways of lineage and the way different teachings are passed down. There are lots of other resources through all three of those that you can check out.
MC: Is there additional action you would like to see from either the local government or perhaps federal government that has not happened yet, as of today, October 23rd, for context for listeners?
RW: That’s a really big question. But I would love to see more strict regulations placed on how people can interfere and interact with livelihood fishery. There’s been a lot of questions as to defining a livelihood, but that is really not something that we have ever done before. So now that it’s become a question of commodities, we need to have some direct protection of our treaty rights, have it redefined that these are still in place, and have, harsher consequences towards the people who are trying to violate them. The DFO has still been seizing traps of Mi’kmaq fishermen up in Cape Breton, which is a current issue happening alongside Digby, but it’s the same root causes. We want to have our fishery be in our control, like our treaty says. Not only does it guarantee us our livelihoods, it says that the signing of these treaties guarantees no change in how the Mi’kmaq have traditionally used this land. Our fishery is at the center of that.
MC: Do you have any thoughts about the media coverage of the issue as of today?
RW: Oh, absolutely. A lot of media has been trying to be unbiased, which is impossible for any media organization to do. A lot of it has been very, let me try to find a good word, noncommittal to how our treaties are written, how they are supposed to be honored. Like an article will read “the Mi’kmaq say that this is part of their rights,” when it is part of our rights. We don’t say it, we have the laws to back that up. We have the surrender of the English to form these treaties to back that up. So the media doesn’t cover the whole story, especially in regards to what the treaties say and what the treaties mean. Rarely ever do they discuss the peaceful side of the camps. When we go down, all of the land defenders and the warriors have been so open to receiving our help and giving us teachings and giving us support when we go down to help them. That’s part of the narrative that escapes the media is the calm before the confrontation.
MC: Okay, thank you. Um, is there anything further you would like to say about the conflicts that I haven’t given you the opportunity to talk about yet.
RW: I would like to see Mount Allison follow through on its statements of support in other facets. There’s always things that the university can do, and that the students can do to improve the structures that we operate within. So I suppose just following those through having closer collaboration with Indigenous people as we go forward, because now, these issues of long-standing colonialism have been brought to the surface for the second time in this decade, after shale gas, which is making people realize exactly how deeply these things go.
MC: This might be a loaded question, but I’m just thinking out loud. Would one of those things the university could do would be to divest from fossil fuels as Divest Mount A has pushed for, or is that unrelated?
RW: That is entirely related. I am quite involved with endowment funds at Mount Allison, and we have millions of dollars invested in fossil fuels. Of course, fossil fuels are one of the main driving forces behind treaty violations. Like we’re still watching what’s happening in Wet’suwet’en with TC Energy [formerly known as TransCanada], the owner of the pipeline, are planning on deviating from their path to drill under a river. TC Energy is invested in by Mount Allison. So Mount Allison is directly involved in providing resources to this company to tear up our lands. The two are inextricably linked, and all Indigenous people are linked. So you can’t support one, one group without supporting the others. We are all kin.
MC: Okay, so in order to follow up on its declared support, then perhaps the divesting from fossil fuels would be a start.
RW: Oh, absolutely. There are lots of ways that the university could go about that, but divestment would surely be one.
MC: Okay. Are there any other things? That’s just what I happen to know about and I don’t want to monopolize on the only thing that I know. Is there anything else specifically that you would like to see from the university other than the statement they put out?
RW: That’s always hard to answer. Of course, there is always the option and financial support, but university budgets rarely allow for that. Divestment, working on better anti racism policies… As I’m sure you know, a lot of racist issues have sort of flown under the surface here at Mount Allison. Better protections for women… We have a huge epidemic of sexual assaults and general assaults that have flown under the radar because we don’t have any boards to count them, to talk about them. All of these are Indigenous issues.
Mount Allison’s climate change and responsible investing statement says “there are opportunities to take environmental, social and other factors into account when managing the University’s investments but it does not support embracing a binary choice — to hold or not to hold fossil fuel securities.”
More details on Mount Allison’s response to divesting from fossil fuels can be found in this memo.

Reproduced this article in full on your behalf without permission at Tantramar Landowners Association site — this is for the benefit of people living the region. Its important for ordinary Canadians to see the work that is going on at our local university that stokes the race war and native vs. non-native divide that academia seems so happy to fuel with their Alinsky-ite training. Are you able to discern your part in this work yet?
