Wark Times Reports in May 2023 ... Palestine Flag Protestor Group At Mount Allison University Ceremony, Dave Thomas, Israel, Politics

 

Earlier this year at the university campus .. 

"Two Mount Allison professors are calling on the university to abandon its plan to confer an honorary degree on Deborah Lyons, Canada’s former ambassador to Israel and Afghanistan.

Politics and International Relations Professor Lara Khattab and Krista Johnston, Director of Women’s and Gender Studies, are gathering signatures for an online petition urging Mt. A. to rescind its decision to grant Lyons an honorary degree at this year’s convocation ceremonies on May 15th"

Mt. A profs urge university not to confer honorary degree on former ambassador | (warktimes.com)

In reaction to University's decision to confer to Deborah Lyons an honourary degree there was an organized graduation day protest that included students, professors, and elder Marilyn Lerch, 87, [local poet, LGBTQ+ activist, and anti-war campaigner, retired teacher, who was recently honoured at the Sackville Arts Wall].  Article at this link from Bruce Wark on the ceremony here:

Also see more on Israel's assault on Gaza from a 2010 an article at N.B. Media Co-Op website authored by David Thomas of Mount Allison University:

"Israel’s latest assault on Gaza in December 2008 killed over 1300 people, and injured over 5,000. Among those killed were 300 children. In those attacks 18 schools were destroyed and 280 damaged. Because of the blockade on construction materials – enforced by the Israeli military – the damaged schools have not been rebuilt or repaired. HESEG representatives went into Gaza to hand out $160,000 worth of “thank you” gifts to Israeli soldiers during these attacks."

Its unclear what reason Dave Thomas has for blocking on Twitter / X .. but he's not alone on the campus Erica Butler at CHMA FM also blocks on Twitter / X ... no reason given .. but not helpful.

Ponds Projects Trump Skate Park Concrete Project since 2013.... Regime Change Needed at Town Hall

 Sackville flood project more than $500K over budget unless changes are made | (warktimes.com)

When you consider that you could build a great concrete skatepark for a one-time expense of half a million bucks its just so tragic to see the money continue to flow into more pointless ponds.... it is as though there is a collective madness controlling the minions at the Palace... who benefits?

Percy Best's commentary here:

"Percy Best says:

Jon, the only one that seems to indicate that retention ponds are the way to go would be the ones that profit from the project itself. One does not need retention ponds of any size when there is only a five hour time slot, twice a day, while gates of a proper sized aboiteau are actually closed because of the salt water tide cycle. A generous ditch system itself would almost be enough to handle any five hour backup, and a proper sized aboiteau, as recommended in the very thorough HILCON report, would then open to allow full drainage over the next approximately seven hours. This would happen twice a day of course.

HILCON did not recommend any retention ponds. The NB Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, that now maintain all the dyking system for NB did not recommend any retention ponds. For some ‘strange reason’ it seems that Crandall Engineering (Englobe) said that the town needs enough water retention for a full 24 hours, and not just for the 5 hours twice a day that an aboiteau gate is closed. It is interesting that the bottom of the newly proposed retention pond behind the Community Garden is going to be FOUR METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL. That should tell you something.

The little tiny aboiteau (AB-01) in behind Russell Metals, that the town storm water is headed towards,is an very old wooden one that is only 18″ square, and that is not much bigger than a standard driveway culvert. There is no commitment from DTI to replace this abouteau with a larger one. I would imagine that they are now awaiting confirmation that the Chignecto Isthmus Project will indeed go ahead and that will make all aboiteau completely redundant. It would cost somewhere in the vicinity of half a million dollars to replace aboiteau AB-01 with a new larger one.

There will be NO water retained in town once the Chignecto Isthmus Project is completed as the drainage pipes leading to the Tantramar river will be open 24/7 with no restriction whatsoever. A new triple gate system at the mouth of the Tantramar River (Wood Report) will effectively make the Tantramar River a bit of a freshwater lake, similar to what the river is inland from the current double gate beside the TCH at Exit 506. If one looks at the water level that is under the Wheaton Covered Bridge, on the High Marsh Road, then one will basically see what our Tantramar River will be all the way out to the new gate system."

"According to figures supplied to Warktimes by Acting Treasurer Michael Beal, the project could come in $566,905 over budget unless modifications are made to the final contract."

Old town hall photography by Indie Media Eastcoast..

Its a corrupt and lawless bunch who runs things around here... they waste a lot of money... this was the previous town hall and it was fine for a small town when I arrived here in 2010... but they spent over $14million on their new government Town Hall Palace without any regard for other priorities ... this "Agenda" is all about optics and appearing 'green' and not much else.  Pathetic.

Does anything change with a new mayor? Not really.. I don't even know if Andrew Black has any idea what to do for the people here.. he's too busy promoting the 'Agenda' of the United Nations for the mafia he works for ...

"Andrew Black - Mayor of the Town of Tantramar

4d  · 

On my way to Ottawa to the Sustainable Communities Conference for the next three days. Both Sackville and Dorchester will be recognized with an award for hitting level 5 (the highest level) of the Partners for Climate Protection. Our communities have worked incredibly hard on reducing GHG levels on the municipal front, setting goals and surpassing them.

I'm looking forward to accepting these awards on behalf of the Town of Tantramar and also taking in workshops and plenary sessions that the conference has to offer. Stay tuned!!
