Mount Allison University Meddlers... A History of Dominating Local Town Hall Politics


 The problem here Tantramar University City in a nutshell? I didn't say no to the Canadian "Energy East Pipeline".. but a noisy, bossy, professor-led little group from the local university did.. so that's unacceptable because that's not how democracy works for the good of all.. is it?

Also, if you want to burn wood to heat your place... I'm fine with that too.. just sayin.  Don't be a hypocrite.. if you benefit at all from the use of various and plentiful Canadian resources then be an unapologetic advocate for them... don't be a troublemaker.

More here from Bruce Wark, local journalist:

Mt. A. student victory, Sackville says no to Energy East pipeline |






Finally, for God's sake stop banning and muzzling voices that don't agree with YOUR campus propaganda.. that would be super.  Thanks.

Rolling out the red carpet for Naomi Klein in Sackville New Brunswick in 2016.. imagine that?

Naomi Klein's husband Avi Lewis is now the Federal leader of the N.D.P. .. go figure.  I bet UBC's "Princess Naomi" has never protested the use of Saudi oil a day in her privileged life. Eh?

CHMA FM Erica Butler Reports At University since 2020 [from Halifax Examiner]

It is election season in New Brunswick....


 Coming to Sackville New Brunswick in 2020 Erica Butler transplanted from the Halifax Examiner - see reporting here:  Erica Butler, Author at Halifax Examiner


You can't leave a comment at their university campus website and this indicates your feedback isn't required at all. Weird.  You are welcome however to donate to their website.  CHMA FM is funded by Rotary Club and Community Radio Fund of Canada.

Latest from Erica Butler at CHMA FM here with Mario Levesque at Mount Allison University:

Levesque talks Tantramar candidates, issues, and return of on-campus polling » CHMA, Voice of the Marshes (chmafm.com)

"And Tantramar voters have a special status in this year’s election. Based on population numbers used to redraw electoral boundaries last year, Tantramar has the lowest number of electors in any riding in the province, with just 9059. Neighbouring ridings of Shediac-Cap Acadie and Dieppe-Memramcook both have over 12,000 electors. “We deviate by just over a third in this riding,” says Levesque. “So our vote has the most weight in this whole province.” "


Levesque arrived on campus in 2012. [I arrived in 2010]


Of additional note:  "The Libertarian Party of New Brunswick" led by Keith Tays has now been registered for this election in 2024 -- so you may still yet see a candidate for that party in Tantramar - more at their website:  http://lpnb.ca/media



The Libertarian voice is always missing from the political conversations in this "progressive" riding of "educated folks".. I am always amused by that simple fact.  Perhaps their candidate could come from the student population?  To be honest and to be truthful how many people wouldn't be aware that by simply lowering the massive burden of taxation you would see an instant improvement to every voter's life and we'd all enjoy an invigorated and stimulated economy naturally?  Of course an "academic" like Mario WOULD NEVER mention this simple truth; he's part of the problem.  Our local chattering class of academics in their comfortable lives dwelling in secure jobs in their " ivory towers " never suffer financially.. they're "tenured" and well paid -- very much taken care of by the nannystate they support 100% ... but they do look down in judgment on the working class with a combination of pity and detachment.. offering up their word salad on fixes.


"About Us

 Welcome to the Libertarian Party of New Brunswick, where we stand firmly on our principles to ensure all individuals have the freedom to live their lives and pursue their interests as they see fit, as long as they do no harm to another. Our core beliefs revolve around significantly reducing the size and intrusiveness of government, cutting and eliminating taxes at every opportunity, and allowing peaceful, honest people to offer their goods and services without inappropriate interference from the government.
 
 
We believe in a society where peaceful, honest individuals can make their own decisions about how to live their lives, free from the fear of criminal or civil penalties. Founded in 2024, our party advocates for a more prosperous New Brunswick.
 
 
As part of the broader Libertarian movement, we are dedicated to expanding individual freedom to its furthest limits. We affirm the principles of no person or institution having the right to initiate the use of force or fraud against another, and that the only moral purpose of government is the preservation of individual rights. We also recognize the voluntary exchange of goods and services as essential for a free and prosperous society.
 
 
By joining the Libertarian Party of New Brunswick, you’re not just becoming a member of a political party; you’re joining a community of like-minded individuals committed to making New Brunswick a better place for all. Together, we can work towards a future where individuals are empowered to make their own choices and live their lives to the fullest, without undue interference from government or other institutions."

SOME of the Professors of Mount Allison University are Shameless Propagandists....


 The anti-white chatter is not something that should be overlooked... Not long ago on an evening walk with my dogs downtown a group of students walked past me near the St. Paul's Anglican Church on the sidewalk and one of them chirped me rather loudly "I hate white people" ...

Gather in #Tantramarshire...
discuss.... debate.... ask questions..
so....
what are they being taught [for their many thousands of dollars in tuition] on this esteemed campus by learned instructors and orators? 

Are you concerned about this "anti-white indoctrination" taking place?

Do Mount Allison University professors accept any responsibility for the anti-Whitism flowing from their institution?  Repeating the 'unceded territory' claims may also be a clue as to what is taking place... I first heard this claim in 2015 at the first annual Pride event in October and it was of note.

Humour, Homelessness and a Housing Crisis - with "Coalition Champion" Alice Cotton on Facebook & Instagram & CHMA FM

 One of the first things I discovered after moving here over 10 years ago was this: 

AVOID social justice minions and their 'coalitions' and so far that's worked out really well for me - just saying -- if there is a shortage of housing in the town for locals who are telling us that landlords prefer to rent to university students rather than local people with families THEN perhaps a policy change at the local university that floods the town with new people should be requested, ie. "international students" visiting must stay only at on campus housing! Imagine that idea folks!  Mount Allison University is very wealthy and could easily make luxury housing for these prestigious visitors!

*Connect on Facebook with Alice Cotton*, teacher and a failed candidate for Town Council in Sackville NB.

Alice Cotton works locally with the efforts to condition people to 'food rationing' they've called "Community Food Smart" which is, of course, based out of the communitarian hub [hatched by Julia Feltham here after doing so well with her earlier & similar Halifax Hub] - its located at the Lorne Street Sackville Commons [formerly at the old Fire Hall on Main Street]-- so get ready for the austerity and impoverished UN Agenda 2030 compliant bicycle riding class that these people are all so fond of promoting through their social engineering efforts and progressive agenda [Erica Butler promotes here]:

Community Food Smart harnesses the power of bulk buying to make fresh food cheaper » CHMA 106.9 FM (chmafm.com)

Finding her groove in the local scene on Facebook that cares about people who cannot find homes - Alice Cotton advocates at this link:

Tantramar Affordable Housing Initiative | Facebook


Tirelessly working to bring about their shiny Utopia you'll find there is no shortage of 'ideas' for kibbutizism/community/co-op/commune style living in this part of New Brunswick - - its often presented as the solution to the problem created by government's taxation, policy and scarcity agenda!

Don't you just *love* when progressive, wealthy, know-it-all boomers with multiple homes attempt to 'help the young people' who are struggling? 

So if its 'unceded territory' as Alice Cotton claims it is on her public Instagram -- why are we paying ANY property taxes?  #Taxation is theft

Freedom of Expression Under Attack in Canadian University - UBC



A student-led group in BC at UBC attempting to push the ideas of freedom of expression and freedom of association and freedom of speech.. imagine that?

And an invitation to discuss ideas that aren't going away.. from Ricardo Duchesne, of eurocanadian.ca Council of European Canadians writes...

Hello Everyone,

I will be giving a talk, along with Mark Hecht, at UBC this October 9. I was set to do a debate with Irvin Sudin but he started raising too many conditions which the student organizers could not meet. So the talk will be with Hecht (his article on negative side of diversity was taken out of Vancouver Sun) . 

Announcing this talk has been delayed because UBC administration has been setting up one obstacle after another, but Students for Free Expression had enough, will push ahead with the talk come what may. I will let you know soon details of the talk. 

I am also happy to say that Canada in Decay continues to be a major best seller: https://www.amazon.ca/Canada-Decay-Immigration-Diversity-Euro-Canadians/dp/1912759985/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

Things We've Already Figured Out About Whackademia....

Universities are doomed. The social justice hoard is growing, because they hire their own. Check out this job add. Committed to diversity but applicant can only view the world through a critical theory lens. No viewpoint diversity.

Welcoming New University Librarian - Dianne Keeping - mta.ca news


Welcome to Town Dianne, I hope you have a good experience with Sackville!
May the students be enriched by your efforts and contributions to their academic life... Mount Allison has a long and rich history as an academic institution.


https://libraryguides.mta.ca/blog/Meet-University-Librarian-Dianne-Keeping

On a personal note, Dr. Keeping—who grew up in Port aux Basques, NFLD—says moving from Calgary to tiny Sackville is a positive change, although her 17-year-old terrier-mix dog is still trying to adapt to the move.
“I’m an animal lover,” she says. “He’s really kind of my world.” Her other interests are eclectic: sci-fi/fantasy literature; yoga and meditation; genealogy and family history...and percussion.
"I recently bought an electronic drum set. I'm not a musician by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have fun trying," she says.  
And the most important question for a new University Librarian?
“I would have to say my favourite book is George Orwell’s Animal Farm. There’s a powerful message in that book that really struck me, and I often come back and look at it. It says a lot about what’s going on in society today.”
