If you're starting to see the grifters left, right and centre in Canada's fake economy.. you're not alone.
Whatever happened to this communitarian "hub" of funded grifters and volunteerism-promoting minions? Read more here on the "art of the hustle for grant $ and looking like you really, really care":
Sackville UNCensored : What happens when you work for free? Fake economy...
Just remember.. if you fail.. you pick yourself up and keep on trying.. something is bound to change.. your "fortunes" await.. they may just be a fun government-funded "Start Up" away or an already established local booze zone with over-priced beverages .. amiright Sarah?
More here on the "hub" for 'workshopping' those little lost noobs:

Speaking of local booze zones:
"Semi confirmed Facebook rumour that the restaurant going into Lafford's York building will be Pump House Brewery.
This will be the third location for this popular Moncton establishment (Moncton downtown, Shediac and now Sackville).
This will be a big hit for the students at Mount Allison University. Between the townies and the gownies, I think they should do well, especially given that there is a large hole to fill with the demise of Joey's after their fire several years ago."

Meanwhile here in New Brunswick..
not everyone was "obediant" to the "coviet" club..
because you can fool some of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.. a small percentage of people are not so easily duped.
The establishment experienced some "push back" ..
Local Tori Weldon, newly elected Town Councillor for Ward 3 in Tantramar has got some worthwhile podcast archives if you're curious.. thanks Tori..
I was able to find them through the posts made in 2022 by Tori Weldon at her "retired" X account....
