‘Warts and all,’ the need for community-based journalism |

Ron Kelly Spurles sat down with Vicki Hogarth last year for an interview in her studio in Saint Andrews at CHCO-TV.. funny thing is that he never mentions his long time job in Tantramar as a Tourism manager.. do you detect any hustle or ambition or just see the comfortable man who knows his needs are being met and is hobbies are being funded by nannystate government funding schemes[entitled].. watch at this video link here:

An entitled life on the gravy train.. with many years of good paydays in Tantramar plus "Grants and contributions" from government for thespian playwright Ron "Unceded" Kelly Spurles.. is he doing a great job as Tourism Manager or is his time too divided with his "government funded" theatre hobbies and commitments? [double dipper]

Ron "Unceded" Kelly Spurles - Tourism Manager? Its Time for Ron to Go & Megan Mitton Too

 Dear Ron Kelly Spurles,

Tantramar is a human settlement reaching back to the 1700s..

we are not a de-industrialized swamp / unoccupied nature preserve.. ya got it?

We like our parks and our green spaces but we also like people and industry and development.

Over and out.

Ron Kelly Spurles is an "UNCEDED" advocate shown above in screen capture of Youtube video for Town... but how does he find the time to do so much elsewhere?  Ron is shown receiving a cheque from Town of Amherst for "Great Amherst Cultural Society" here:

Thespian Ron Kelly Spurles has been a less than stellar tourism manager for Tantramar.. perhaps its time to bring in a fresh advocate for the region who is focussed on New Brunswick's success?

$7,000 in 2026: not bad "free" thespian money is it?

Time for Ron to go.. how much is he being paid?

its way past time that Ron was replaced -- the Town is not your piggy bank Ron.

How does a U.N. RAMSAR designation actually improve life for anyone in the region? 

Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat. - Legal Affairs

What is it?  Home page | The Convention on Wetlands

The Convention on Wetlands is the intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.

The Convention was adopted in the Iranian city of Ramsar in 1971 and came into force in 1975. Since then, almost 90% of UN member states, from all the world’s geographic regions, have acceded to become “Contracting Parties”.

Why is RAMSAR something that the locals here would ever want?

Sackville UNcensored Asks..... Mayor Andrew Black's Lack of Transparency and Accountability

Muppet of the U.N. Mayor Andrew Black advised the public at last night's town hall meeting that he in fact was in France, again, for "politics" in December 2025 .. why?  What "work" is he doing as Mayor in France?  People are wondering WHAT Black's Agenda is and if he has the best interests of the people in the region - his earlier trip to France was regarding the town's "Wetland City" designation which no one voted for or had any say in whatsoever.. here:

Tantramar mayor invited to international wetlands conference |

election for local politics is in May 2026.. will he re-offer or is he working towards a different job in the world of technocrats/ bureaucrats? Stay tuned.

Black's Facebook offers very little information and overall he continues to lack transparency and reporting to the public.

Here:  Andrew Black - Mayor of Tantramar | Facebook

The town's lack of transparency extends to their Youtube channel which has a "closed comment section"... unhelpful.

More likely than not we'll see Debbie run for Mayor of Tantramar this year as she was formerly Mayor of Dorchester and would be considered 'experienced'.  More here:

Committee of the Whole Meeting - November 25, 2024 - Municipality of Tantramar

Mayor Andrew Black returns to preside over this meeting and is oddly wearing a black face diaper.

The meeting begins with a presentation from their newly sworn in Dr. Ian Sutherland [he/they] president of Mount Allison University who speaks on an extensive and costly/lengthy $95.1 million project involving the R.P. Bell Library - an epic "make-over" on the campus.  As well, looking on from the town hall audience were some notable heavy-hitter locals including Freshwinds Eric Tusz-King, Garth Zwicker, and builder John Lafford.

The question remains:  would this large amount of money ($95million+) be better spent on more campus affordable housing for students?  Discuss.

Additionally of note, tourism minion Ron Kelly Spurles, a long time trougher Town Hall staffer, with 10+ years on the gravy train wants you to know we are on "unceded" lands and should be concerned about climate change.  Ron's wife is equally well paid long time associate Prof. Patricia Kelly Spurles of Mount Allison University.

Obediant Mayor Andrew Black felt the need to tell us that he has taken a butterfly pledge "Monarch".
