Bruce Wark on Meredith Fisher's "bomb" commentary at The New Wark Times - Local Stories


" brucewark says:

OK, so I went back and did find the use of the word “bomb” during a presentation to council on July 14, one year to the day after NB Power announced its plan for a 500 MW gas/diesel plant near Centre Village. The presentation was by Meredith Fisher of Seniors for Climate Tantramar and here’s what she said:

“Exactly one year ago today, a virtual bomb was dropped on Tantramar. Most of us remember the shock and disbelief of the announcement of the RIGS project contracting an American company to build and operate for 25 years of fossil fuel burning with shale gas, also from the U.S. out here.

“To many of us in New Brunswick right now, it seems like there are other of these bombs being dropped on our environment and on our lives in our dear province. The worst part of it is that the bombers are employed by us as leaders to make sound decisions…Our trust in NB Power, our Crown Corporation, is badly eroded. In a few years, the bombers will no longer be responsible for the flawed process they created. They will be gone. Potentially, we will be here in Tantramar. We will be left holding the proverbial bag of an environment that has been irreversibly damaged forever.”

Fisher went on to say: “We can come up with a reasonable option to the RIGS Centre Village project. We do not really wish to take legal action…let’s be partners in decisions about our environment and our energy needs. Let’s do our best as a province to reduce the burning of fossil fuels.”

Bruce Wark Boosts Reactionaries Protesting RIGS Gas Plant Project - Could He Be Adding to The Hysteria?

"Councillor Greene responded that the assistant clerk had also heard the word ‘bomb’.

“And the threats, which I would define them as that, that this will be the next Oka, I did report those concerns to the RCMP as well,” she said.

“Because yes, they have had peaceful protests. They can change quickly and we need to ensure that that does not happen,” she added.

“If people get very upset about a concern or an issue in our community, people can be incited by even a single individual to behave in an inappropriate fashion and we want to ensure that we have good, clear headings moving forward on this and any other issue,” Greene concluded."

Gen X Councillor Greene keeps it real.. and she is actually a really good soul for pointing out the problem with radicals who infiltrate activism groups.. if you are not familiar with this tactic yet I would think watching a documentary on the "Weather Underground" might help you out.. if you are naive that's a problem too.. and since the average age of people in this town is 51 there is no excuse for being ignorant when you have access to the internet... By behaving as angry reactionaries and I have questioned WHY their online group on Facebook is "closed" rather than open and transparent for good reason as they are not forthcoming with their actions, intentions, deeds, and discussions [THAT is a problem] but yet they will complain the government and NB Power are deceptive players -- this protest group of Sackville's "Seniors for Climate" group are well networked and are propagandized by many outside forces and most surely are unable to recognize they are being used as tools -- and they seem to be getting LOTS of boosting by Bruce Wark who does not always publish comments left at his website FYI -- you're actually adding to the noise and provocation rather than keeping calm and listening to more voices.  Greene is correct to caution the public.

I am glad Councillor Greene bothers to speak out as she would have been privileged to hear from many people in our town and region.. and she is also honest enough to tell you what is being said and what concerns her; she has no reason to lie about anything but she is concerned and is speaking up now when it matters.  Dep. Mayor Josh Goguen attempting to diminish Greene's credibility by saying the local protest group is peaceful [they have behaved as an angry mob in the past and yelled in council meetings in the town hall thereby intimidating people including the former Mayor Andrew Black and Deputy Mayor Matt Estabrooks] when Goguen in truth has no idea who is behind the "group" and what they might be capable of and what their tactics in the future might look like.. intimidation certainly plays a role as no one locally would dare speak up in favour of the gas plant at this point for fear of retribution by these organized folks I will call THE MOB .. Goguen is young and very naive and also has in the past been questioned at this blog for running a private and large Facebook group [gossip zone] in our region.  One of the reasons this blog even exists is to counteract the radical greens in this region who dominate the rest and interfere with the local schools organizing "Climate Strikes" and other nonsense.

Don Mills Halifax and David Campbell Moncton [jupia.ca] - Acadia Broadcasting Podcast - Keeping the Lights On: RIGS Coady & MacIsaac

 At this link:  Keeping the Lights On: Inside the Renewable Integration Grid Security Project from Insights with Don Mills and David Campbell- An Acadia Broadcasting Podcast | Podcast Episode on Podbay


May 8, 2026 Show notes

On this week’s Insights podcast, we speak with John MacIsaac, President of ProEnergy Global Solutions Canada Ltd. and Brad Coady, Chief Commercial Officer, NB Power, about an important new initiative, the Renewable Integration Grid Security Project (RIGS).  In recent years, more of the region’s electricity demand has been supplied by wind, solar and other renewable sources. The challenge is that this electricity is only produced when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining.  The RIGS project is meant to ensure the grid has enough electricity to meet demand, even on the coldest day in February.  RIGS will provide up to 500 MW of electricity as needed, support grid stability in New Brunswick, and provide benefits to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
