Sabine Dietz & Eric T. King Housing with Government Funding & Partners in Tantramar
Sabine Dietz: "None of us gets any money out of this." Imagine that? 68 housing units but no one is getting paid - seems like a really strange idea huh?
Hopefully, no one begins to dig the land and soils up and discovers there are indigenous bones on their unceded lands... its happens .. here:

Sabine Dietz says that she needs money for her "non-profit housing" adventures with Eric T. King.. well dear me Sabine you know that the community has your back and we all wish you the best.. building housing is expensive today.. Dietz admits she cannot do this project without grants [free money] but there are projects happening in the region that are not "community" builds seeking grants [free money].. and to be perfectly honest if your eco-group are more special and you feel you deserve lots of free money to build the housing project maybe your model is a flawed one after all? GoFundMe is also a site people use to get money for their projects given to them.. and GiveSendGo.
Traditionally, the people building "eco-villages" do so with their own money collectively and that seems to work really well for them.. shows integrity... letting government give away millions to people building co-ops seems like government picking winners and losers.. there are no shortage of people who want to build homes but there seem to be a lot of stumbling blocks and interference by government in making sure housing is abundant.. why would that be?

Holding Pyramid Structure In Place with Duct Tape - Academia's Weakening Grip on the Narrative
Unfortunately for the so-called "experts" and "academics" their grip is no longer strong.. they couldn't compete with the University of Youtube.. and they weren't equipped to adapt.. no big loss.
Just a matter of time.. tick-tock... tick-tock...

Why more students should study abroad in Asia - The Argosy
"The most important thing I’ve learned on my exchange is that my experiences and the lessons I’m learning are the best souvenirs of all. In Hong Kong and other places I’ve visited, people are so proud of their history, culture and traditions that they want to share them with others. All you need to do is to be open to learning and listening. This extends to the classroom as well; my courses are teaching me different perspectives that contrast the often-Eurocentric education we get at Mt. A. I’ve learned so much outside and inside the classroom, and wouldn’t have learned any of it if I had gone somewhere in Europe, Oceania or North America. Taking the leap to go to Asia for exchange is worth it and will result in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you’re interested in going on exchange to Asia, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask me more about it!" - Paige Percy, 2018

Born in 1769 in Yorkshire, England, William Fawcett and his family were among the wave of Yorkshire immigrants who came to Sackville in the 1770s. William was a farmer and owned 42 acres of land in Upper Sackville. He was also a deeply religious man and a prominent member of the Methodist Church. William and his wife had two children: a son named Rufus and a daughter named Elizabeth, but known as Betsy. In 1816 they took in a boy named James George to help work the farm. In 1831 Betsy and James married and soon after, Betsy gave birth to a son. William was very pleased by this and with James’ skill at farming, so decided to change his will to leave the farm and his considerable wealth to his daughter, which was very usual at this time. Rufus was jealous of James and not happy with the possibility of losing his inheritance. On June 19, 1832, William was sitting at the kitchen table reading a volume of John Wesley’s sermons, when suddenly a shot came through the window, killing him instantly. Rufus quickly became the prime suspect. The murder weapon, which was the Fawcett family gun, was found behind the house. In Rufus’s storage chest was found slugs matching those in William’s body. Rufus was arrested and put on trial, but was found not guilty. There were rumours he had bribed members of the jury, buying them rounds of food and drink. Following the trial, Rufus departed for the United States and his fate is unknown. The house where the infamous murder occurred still stands and is owned by descendants of James and Betsy George. William Fawcett’s grave in the Methodist Burying Ground in Middle Sackville is marked with a lengthy inscription, detailing the murder and warning the reader to be always ready to meet their maker. In keeping with the theme of this post, there is a Murder Mystery Night happening at the Campbell Carriage Factory Museum tonight (Friday, August 1). Drop by at 7 p.m. to see if you can prevent a killer from getting away with murder!
Fun Fact!!!
William Fawcett’s story was told in a historical novel by his 3rd great grandson, Robert James, titled Reader Be Thou Also Ready, published in 2000. A play with the same title was produced in 2015 by Sackville’s Live Bait Theatre.
