Transparency, Hypocracy and Politics in Tantramar with Terry Jones, Candidate for Mayor of Tantramar

"My elephant in the room is the gas plant. I know that I am limited. We all are limited because it’s a provincial project, dealing with a crown corporation and a US multinational. But that doesn’t mean we have to be quiet about it. That doesn’t mean we have to accept everything that’s coming down the road. We can definitely push back. We can organize the community. We have a wonderful set of groups: PCIC (Protect the Chignecto Isthmus Coalition), Stop the Tantramar Gas Plant, Seniors for Climate. There are numerous other voices that are being heard. And now this project is having baby projects in PEI and Nova Scotia, so the movement’s getting bigger, there’s more Atlantic involvement. So those are my two issues. I wanna do what I can for openness, communication, and transparency, and to make Tantramar a place where everybody feels heard."

If you are focussed on communicating and connecting with others who also do not have a voice on what matters to them in Canada and you live in the region of Tantramar the VERY last thing you do is set up a "private" Facebook group online here:  Stop the Tantramar Gas Plant! | Facebook

Community Healthcare Locally.... Doing Good Work? Is HEALTHCARE System Really "Saving the Humans"?

HEY CANADA: In 1995, the population of Alberta was 3.8 million people. Alberta Health Services had 5,000 employees TODAY: The population is 4.8 million. 130,000 employees are on payroll for Alberta Health - Population increase 26% - Health employee INCREASE 2,500%

Listen in: Community health care meeting hosted by MLA Megan Mitton, featuring Horizon health officials » CHMA


👋 Meet Dr. Roshni Kanji and Dr. Bruno Chiasson, a husband and wife physician team.. They are family physicians in the town of Sackville who play an important role in the overall wellbeing and quality of life of Sackvillians.
In their practice, they care for patients of all ages, from newborns to elderly community members. They also provide care at Horizon’s Sackville Memorial Hospital to inpatients and patients in the Emergency Department.
“I was born and raised in New Brunswick,” said Dr. Chiasson. “And after my medical training abroad, I knew I wanted to come back home. When we started looking into it, we were instantly charmed by Sackville.”
Dr. Kanji and Dr. Chiasson were immediately drawn to the Sackville lifestyle – the great outdoors, the adventure activities in all four seasons, the safe environment for a family, and the flexible and diverse working environment.
They both love the fact that they can practice in a beautiful rural area and still have the hospital and university right in town, and also have access to the resources and support of the larger centres in New Brunswick that are so close. ❤
They’re encouraging physicians, especially those that are interested in practising in a rural area, to consider practising in New Brunswick.

“The comradery amongst team members and the work-life balance are great, and there is so much opportunity here to make a difference.“

➡ If you or a physician you know may be interested in exploring a career with Horizon, contact Careers@Horizonnb.ca with “Physician Opportunities” in the subject line and we will follow up to chat.

What do you have to contribute to the discussions on healthcare in the town? Are your needs met?


"Horizon staff in attendance were:

  • Margaret Melanson, CEO
  • Dr. Jody Enright, Medical Director, Moncton area
  • Richard Lemay, Director of Primary Health Care, Zone 1
  • Dr. Ravneet Comstock, Physician Program Lead, Primary Care
  • Dr. Bruno Chiasson, Family Medicine, Sackville division"

Who Are The Canadian Frontline Nurses? Healthcare, Green Politics, Fringe Activism, Being Sustainable

 More here on Canadian Frontline Nurses:

Our Community - Canadian Nurses (canadianfrontlinenurses.ca)



Back in September 2021 the group worked with others to organize a walkout at the George Dumount Hospital in Moncton over mandated vaccines.. perhaps the locals in healthcare and politics are not aware of this? See more here:

Nurses WalkOut at the George Dumont Hospital (rumble.com)

" @NursesCanadian (Twitter) organized a World Wide WalkOut for nurses who are opposed to medical tyranny & the mandatory vaccine for healthcare workers. https://www.canadianfrontlinenurses.ca/

The gathering for Nurse's WalkOut at the George Dumont Hospital, Moncton was a success! It was a large turnout. We even caught a CBC camera man & local media there. We couldn't be ignored! Hopefully they will be fair with their coverage."


Locally Megan Mitton MLA Green Party appears to be a voice for the healthcare workers.. but is she really representative of their views and their needs?  I don't think so.

Do politicians need to focus on more issues?

Why would the fringe Green think they are authorized to speak for all healthcare workers when they are such a small part [3 seats in total] of the elected representatives in our Legislature?  If "fringe" seems unfair its not:

Greens promise more local control over health care | (warktimes.com)



Megan Mitton is up against long time town Councillor Bruce Phinney for Tantramar [Conservative] this month.. as well as former town Councillor / former Mayor of Sackville John Higham [running for the Liberal party].  This race will be interesting to watch come election day as it is a battle of well-known and popular locals with many supporters and many vocal active campaign volunteers and helpers with a desire to push their candidate in this competitive space vying for the student votes at Mount Allison University [which has been key in the first election with Megan Mitton when she won by only 11 votes]. As a health advocate I am always surprised that Megan Mitton does not advocate for "farmacy" instead of "pharmacy" but she was bought and paid for years ago when she decided to become a politician rather than a sensible woman in Tantramar.  What's next for Megan Mitton after this election [if she loses]?

Meanwhile, as we head into an election its important to keep the importance of politicians in perspective and remember what is really worth prioritizing.. personal responsibility --
