Reports on Fire Hall in Sackville New Brunswick with Bruce Wark at The New Wark Times website


"Tantramar’s new director of protective services says changes are coming to Sackville Fire & Rescue.

“We’re moving in a good direction,” Dan Dupuis told Warktimes today at the Sackville Farmers’ Market where the fire service had set up a display to promote fire safety.

“The future looks bright,” he says.

Although Dupuis could not comment on any specific changes in the department, Warktimes has learned from several other sources that Craig Bowser, his son Justin and firefighter Walter Allen are no longer on the Sackville fire department roster.

Acting Deputy Chief Wade Palmeter is now the department’s highest-ranking officer."

source:  Shakeup at Sackville Fire & Rescue may clear path for return of 12 volunteer firefighters |

Is their witchhunt of Chief Bowser finally being concluded to the satisfaction of the online "mob"?  

Of note:  "Justin Bowser says:

To be clear, I was not “removed” from Sackville Fire & Rescue as reported in this article. I voluntarily resigned and have documentation to support that fact. There is a significant difference between resigning and being removed, and I believe that distinction should be accurately reflected.

Comment from Bruce Wark: I have changed the wording to reflect what you say."


Stay tuned... at Facebook's "Tantramar" for all the updates of "management" - their recent statement here:

Photography by THE Indie Media Eastcoast of Dominic Leblanc, Beausejour Forum, April 2025


 Trust me grifters of "Ducks Unlimited Canada".. the very last thing I will ever do is donate to your greedy organization.. however.. I note that since posting this originally on May 16th, 2026 to the blog your pals and helpful submissive useful idiots at Mount Allison University's CHMA FM are PROMOTING fundraising for your grifter land grabbing organization here:  

Ducks Unlimited Canada gearing up for Duck and Run 2026 to help support wetland conservation » CHMA


As a Libertarian I am pro-free speech and pro-liberty...  and I am well aware of how much you folks hate folks like me.. and of course Donna Allen of Tantramar.

Shawn Graham - ex-premier of New Brunswick - is being deeply enriched by "Ducks Unlimited Canada" for his efforts... he seems grossly overpaid to me.

Wouldn't it be great if a fraction of the money going now to "Ducks Unlimited Canada" was instead diverted to projects that matter to people too?



Such as preserving the culturally iconic covered bridges of New Brunswick.  Just a thought..

Have blogged in the past about this newer local organization here:

Tantramar Grows!: "Not So Soft Grifting" by Hardscrabble Press in Sackville New Brunswick and the Anti Capitalists of Tantramarshire Gatherings

Word has it that the old abandoned Via Rail station stone building in Sackville New Brunswick is going to be put into the hands of this "Hardscrabble" organization.. an interesting story.. and we'll see if that is actually on the books and in the plans soon enough.


Wishing a Happy Turtle Island Day to all Canadians from coast to coast to coast .. eh? 

As well as a Happy Loyalist Day to New Brunswickers this month.


Some people think respecting their history is patriotism.. but is it?  Why do some statues get torn down [Cornwallis in Halifax is just one example] and some are getting put up? Who is deciding?

Winston Churchill statue in this screenshot .. installed June 6, 2024 in Calgary Alberta.. imagine that?

"The June 6, 2024 Calgary Churchill Statue Dedication and Sir Winston Churchill Society of Calgary Annual Memorial Banquet with Randolph Churchill III

​The Sir Winston Churchill Society of Calgary commemorated D-Day, June 6, 1944 with an 80th anniversary tribute to the Canadians who served that day and on every day during the Second World War.
 
We did so by erecting a statue of Sir Winston Churchill on McDougall Centre grounds, Calgary, with speeches by the Honourable Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, the Honourable Jason Kenney, Randolph Churchill III, and by Dr. Mark Milke, president of the Sir Winston Churchill Society of Calgary.   

We were also pleased to hold our 58th annual memorial dinner and D-Day commemoration, with an address from the great grandson of Sir Winston Churchill, Randolph Churchill III, entitled “Churchill's Linchpin: Canada and the Liberation of Europe.” 

​Click here calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/sir-winston-churchill-statue-downtown-calgary to read the Calgary Herald column from Churchill Society president Mark Milke explaining why Calgary now has a statue of Winston Churchill at McDougall Centre."

Bruce Wark Reports ... Its Election Time in the Region!

Photography by THE Indie Media Eastcoast - Sackville NB's schedule of meetings of Town Council

This week: Bruce Wark, reporting in Sackville New Brunswick at warktimes.com here:

Tantramar candidates call for town to restore contact info. on new website |

"Many of the candidates running for a seat on Tantramar council on May 11th say the town’s new website that was launched last October should include full contact information for members of council and senior management staff.

“I don’t know what happened to the site that doesn’t show our e-mail addresses, but I will say that I personally think that all councillor e-mail addresses should be listed. I also feel that the CAO & Department Directors should be as well,” Councillor Michael Tower wrote in response to an e-mail from Warktimes."

Another Expensive Tantramar Town Hall Hire .. Why? Better Communication Internally?


 Why are the "management" staff levels always increasing in this town.. with very highly paid people that appear not to be able to achieve anything for these large paydays that they receive ... so what is the goal?

Bloated bureaucracy is becoming the norm in our government.. waste.. and increased spending.

Why are your taxes increasing on your property>?

Is the current Tantramar Town Hall an inefficient operation and should its staffing be cut? Discuss...

Tantramar Welcomes New Director of Protective Services



More commentary found here:

"Geoff Martin says:

I think candidates for Mayor and Council should be advocating reforming council decision making and the role of councilors. If you are wondering why the policy making on the Tantramar fire department has not gone well, a major undiscussed reason is the structure of council. A citizen recently brought to my attention that Tantramar has no system of either council committees or Liaison Councilors. This is important because that system meant that 1-3 councilors would meet at least monthly with the department head to discuss the issues, and what actions needed to be recommended to council. In the areas of Finance and Administration, Parks and Recreation, and Protective Services, for example, three areas I served on in the 1998-2004 range, someone would be assigned to follow up on things, represent the interests of the council, and bring forward recommendations to the council which they would be able to justify. “How are things going in the Fire Department?” is a question that should have been asked every month over the past several years. No system of committees or Liaison Councilors means a centralization of power in the hands of the CAO and staff, and possibly the Mayor, and look where that got us. If everyone is responsible then often no one is. Veteran councilors who inherited and lived with the old system should have known better when there were proposals to eliminate it. Hopefully the next council will rethink this and restore the role of the regular councilor to specialize in municipal areas of activity in order to better serve the public."


Commentary was found at this April 19th, 2026 article from Bruce Wark's "The New Wark Times" recently at this link:


What to do about Sackville Fire & Rescue? Tantramar mayoralty candidates discuss the ongoing turmoil |


Other expensive hires that appear unnecessary include Jamie Ferguson, Jeff Taylor, Ron Kelly-Spurles and Matt Pryde [who was hired to work in Parks and Rec. for the Town Hall but decided he would relocate himself into the Ice Rink Arena facility.]  All these hires are paid well but none of them seem to be able to get organized enough to actually build a new skatepark or instal an elevator at the ice rink.

“My career as a professional truck driver and my leadership as First Vice President of the Sackville Rod and Gun Club have taught me the importance of hard work, straight talk, and showing up for my neighbours,” he adds.

“Since amalgamation, I have followed our municipality closely and realized I can be an asset on council by bringing a younger perspective to our decision-making. If elected to represent Ward 3, I will bring hands-on accountability to Town Hall.”
