Special Council Meeting - September 28, 2026 - Municipality of Tantramar - Deputy Mayor Josh Goguen Presiding

 

Allegations, complaints & codes of conduct seem to be clogging up their agenda.. with the blind leading the blind... eh?

Clown world local politics... who is driving their clown bus in 2026? The 'bureaucrats', of course.

Josh Goguen stumbles through another whacky episode in the Town Hall today... with the latest witch-hunt and harassment of duly elected Mayor Debbie Wiggins-Colwell with the support/help of Town Councillors Alison Butcher, Tori Weldon, Kristen LeBlanc [unelected/acclaimed], and Josh Goguen... its really not a good look for our politics here.

Mayor Debbie Wiggins-Colwell was not in attendance at this 'special' meeting here...

Town Councillors Barry Hicks, Wayne Wells, and Alyssa Greene all raised some key points about the complaint in question, the "complainer" and its inappropriateness which Bruce Wark has also covered at his local website here:

Tantramar council dismisses Code of Conduct complaint against Mayor Wiggins-Colwell with little discussion and no debate |

Town Councillor Alyssa Greene suggested a "closed session" should take place to discuss matters.. Greene is on Facebook:

Town Councillor Tori Weldon posts on X here:

ToriWeldon on X: "On a personal note, Friday is my last day at CBC NB when I'll be reading the afternoon news on @ShiftNB. Thank you to everyone I've had the honour to work with, interview and generally bother over the last 10 years. To my family, thank you for putting up with the craziness." / X

Staffers at Town Hall Chris Hill and Jennifer Borne also attempted to explain why the "complainer" is protected and anonymous which is a big waste of time and a crock of shit.  Why bureaucrats that are not elected to office and apparently have nothing better to do with their time in our town are advancing the complaints of unhappy individuals defies any logic unless of course there is an agenda to muzzle any Mayors who are not totally anti-oil and gas and industry.. but that couldn't be, could it?

Pathetic.

Also duly noted this week MLA Megan Mitton of the Green Party duly elected to represent Tantramar since 2018 in the Fredericton Legislature has deleted her account on X.  Megan is paid $93K per year to work for the people of Tantramar and apparently that now doesn't include her X account on social media but does include her Instagram and Facebook accounts.. funny how that works huh?

Mitton is making a run for "leader" of the Greens.

Memo to readers:  not everyone here is anti-oil and gas and pipelines in our country.. some of us would rather see our population, rather than Saudi Arabia, enriched by developing resources in our own country.. hate on us all you want to.. we would prefer you protesting Saudi Oil.. eh?

... not all our local politicians are accountable to the public and even bother to use this social media platform but maybe its time that they should.. not everyone is using Facebook as it turns out.

Think:  radical collaborations.

Three-way race for mayor in Tantramar as 18 candidates seek council seats with one acclamation |

"Tori Weldon

“I’m a journalist, communications professional and small business owner who has spent years covering municipal governments in New Brunswick,” Ward 3 candidate Tori Weldon writes in her e-mail to Warktimes.

“As a former reporter, I’ve spent many hours in municipal council meetings. I know my way around a budget, what a functioning council looks like, and I’ve seen what happens when problems are left to fester,” she adds.

“I’m running for council because I have the experience with municipal politics to hit the ground running. My youngest kids are in high school and I’m at a point in my career where I have time to dedicate to the community,” Weldon writes.

“I’m not claiming to have all the answers but I know the right questions to ask, I know where to look for good information, and I understand the importance of being honest with people about what our options are.”

She says she currently runs The Weldon Agency, a podcast production and consulting business that works with companies such as RBC, Morgan Stanley and Dell Technologies."

“I’ve lived in Tantramar most of my life, my family is from here,  I’m raising my kids here. I’ve watched Tantramar change, and I care deeply about where it’s headed,” she writes.

“I also know firsthand how frustrating it is when institutions go quiet. The public deserves to know everything that can be shared, promptly and clearly. If elected, I’ll do everything in my power to keep the people of Tantramar informed.  They deserve to have their concerns and questions heard and taken seriously.”
