Bruce Wark on NB Power Plant in Tantramar [Proposed]

 

At this link:

EUB holds 1st day of hearings on NB Power’s proposed gas/diesel plant on the Isthmus |

commentary here:

Carol says:

"Thanks again Bruce for your excellent reporting! You have helped me better understand all the intricacies around how NB Power is scheming to avoid this American-owned Gas/Diesel plant being considered a capital project which would then make it subject to EUB rules and assessments.

More power to Alain Chiasson, the Public Intervener who is looking out for the interests of NB ratepayers!"

Recommended listening as well to this one from APTN News:

AFN Annual General Assembly: Day 1 - Afternoon | APTN News - YouTube

S.A. Cunliffe says:

"Carol, check out this AFN Annual General Assembly Day 1 Afternoon video from APTN News to understand the financial and economic work and partnerships that are taking place.. its rather intricate indeed!

in particular this man explains what the MONEY part of Indigenous culture is all about in 2025

What Canadians Are Saying About " Cultural Diversity " in Canada

Mercure et Psyché (Mercury and Psyché) Reinhold Begas, 1878


My fiancé convocated from UWaterloo yesterday. Honorary degree recipient was Lee Maracle, who, during her speech, told us that indigenous people do not get "a single dollar" of Canadian tax money (???), talked about the Canadian genocide, and endorsed the NDP...
Not just that...convocation ceremonies bring in parents & other family members, some who fly in from other countries (e.g. China, India). So they will walk away with misinformation that came from an official university ceremony, which seems very irresponsible.  
She also said indigenous people weren't allowed to go to university until 1968 which is just...false...




Halifax does appear to be littered with 'social justice' types with megaphone... that much is clear.
What you cannot overlook is that the only people not allowed to discuss race are whites.



Replying to 
In Halifax, all University events now begin with a proclamation of being in “K'jipuktuk, unceded Mi’kmaq terrority.” This is an outright lie as the Mi’kmaq surrendered to the British in various treaties in Nova Scotia from 1752-1761.

Replying to 
True, indigenous people didn't get a SINGLE dollar of Canadian tax money they get untold BILLIONS of Canadian dollars every SINGLE year. When will the collective guilt complex and national rip-off ever end? Continue to elect "progressive" governments and it never will.

There's certainly a lot happening with "JEDI" .. a lot of funding for 'indigenous'
