Embattled Strait Shores council suspended, supervisor appointed
Latest resignation takes away quorum from small council in southeastern New Brunswick
After most of its councillors resigned, some of them two separate times, the council in Strait Shores has been officially dissolved.
Late Tuesday, the Local Governance Commission of New Brunswick announced on its website that a supervisor will take over now because the council had lost its quorum.
"This means that the council is no longer able to govern and direct the operations of the rural community," the statement said.
The dramatic action comes after months of turmoil, driven by a negative reaction on council to efforts by a new councillor, Andy MacGregor, to reform the council to bring transparency.
The supervisor, Greg Lutes, will remain in place until the next municipal election in May 2026. He is a consultant and former provincial deputy minister.
"As supervisor, Mr. Lutes is authorized to act in the place of the elected council," the commission said.

The costs of the supervisor will be passed on to the municipality, but Mary Oley, the commission director, said it's impossible to estimate what that cost will be.
Oley confirmed that Coun. Tanya Haynes resigned, which would have left only MacGregor and the acting mayor, Annamarie Boyd, on what was once a five-person council.
CBC News requested interviews with Boyd and Haynes but did not immediately get responses.
A copy of Haynes's resignation was requested from CAO Donna Hipditch, but she did not respond.
Oley said that the CAO and clerk of Strait Shores will remain in place and take direction from the supervisor, who will take over the role of council.
Councillor's ideas met resistance
The collapse of the small, rural community's council follows a short secession of major challenges since MacGregor won a byelection in January.
After joining, MacGregor introduced a dozen motions calling for more transparency. His colleagues felt his way of seeking change had violated the code of conduct, so they slapped him with sanctions and opened an investigation into his actions.
The sanctions effectively resulted in his suspension from council and he was barred from municipal property and from contact with other councillors and staff.
Before his suspension, Jason Stokes resigned as mayor, and Stacy Jones and Tanya Haynes resigned as councillors. Jones and Haynes subsequently un-resigned, but have both recently resigned a second time, leaving council without quorum.
Haynes's latest resignation came just after the commission released a report last week calling out the council for mishandling the investigation into MacGregor's conduct and ignoring due process.
The commission also said councillors did not act maliciously, but Haynes was one of the council members directly named in the report for breaking the code of conduct through the botched investigation.

A week before that, a consultant hired by the council to investigate MacGregor had ruled the opposite — that MacGregor was the one who had violated the code.
Lakeland Ridges, like Strait Shores, was also created under local government reform, and in summer 2023, saw a supervisor appointed after council infighting.
Lutes was also one of three supervisors appointed for Lakeland Ridges.
CBC News requested an interview with Lutes through the consulting firm he works with.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
UPDATED: Strait Shores council defunct after third resignation, supervisor now appointed
This story was updated at 9am, April 30, 2025, to include new information about the appointment of supervisor for Strait Shores.
A third member of Strait Shores council has resigned, leaving the troubled municipal council without a quorum and unable to function.
Councillor Tanya Haynes sent in her resignation by email on Saturday morning, according to Strait Shores CAO Donna Hipditch. Haynes’ resignation follows that of former councillor Stacy Jones on March 26, and former mayor Jason Stokes on February 13.
The Local Governance Commission has now appointed a supervisor to take over the decision making role for the municipality for the next year, until the next round of municipal elections in May 2026.
A notice posted on the commission website late Tuesday announced Greg Lutes will serve as supervisor.
Lutes previously served as one of a series of supervisors appointed to oversee the municipality of Lakeland Ridges in 2023 and 2024. The municipality has supervisors in place for a 10-month period, and ended up paying the provincial government just over $118,000 to cover the expense.
Local Governance Commission director Mary Oley told CHMA by email on Tuesday that after the appointment of a supervisor, there will be no public council meetings, since “decisions that would normally be made by council will be made by the supervisor.”
Resignation by Haynes follows commission report
This is the second time Haynes has emailed a resignation, previously doing so on February 24, before rescinding that letter days later. This time, Hipditch told CHMA, the resignation letter has been signed by Haynes and reported to the commission.
Hipditch says she is waiting for direction from the commission before posting resignation letters from both Haynes and Jones. Stokes’ letter was posted publicly on Facebook in February.
Haynes resignation came just days after the Local Governance Commission issued a report finding that the municipality had breached its own code of conduct bylaw in its recent sanctioning of Councillor Andy MacGregor. The report also recommended all councillors and staff of the municipality undergo training.
The LGC report came on the heals of a human resources consultant’s report which found that MacGregor had violated sections of the Code of Conduct, and recommended mediation between all council and staff members. Hipditch says planning for that mediation was underway before Haynes resigned Saturday.
The seats left vacant by Haynes, Jones, and Stokes cannot be filled in by-elections, since Elections NB will not run any by-elections in the year leading up to the next general municipal elections across the province, slated for May 11, 2026.
The Strait Shores council had the opportunity to trigger the election of a new mayor in April, but during a special meeting to accept the resignation of former Mayor Jason Stokes on February 28, council members Haynes and Boyd did not second a motion to declare the vacancy in time for Elections NB’s deadline.
LGC report finds breaches “not malicious”
The Local Governance Commission report published Wednesday came in response to a complaint filed by Councillor Andy MacGregor, who alleged unfair treatment in the way Strait Shores council suspended him in a resolution passed on February 20. The LGC found that there was not enough detail about the nature and specifics of the informal complaints against MacGregor, and that the suspension of MacGregor was not an available sanction under the Strait Shores by-law. The report recommended MacGregor’s suspension be lifted.
The commission also found that the by-law breaches by Haynes, Jones, and Boyd were not malicious, but the product of misunderstanding or lack of knowledge. The report reads:
“The Respondents did not follow the procedures for receiving/filing, investigating and deciding complaints under section 4 of the Code of Conduct By-Law, and did not complete any of the required steps before sanctioning Complainant MacGregor. This demonstrates a lack of understanding of Strait Shores’s own Code of Conduct By-Law and process, and the principles of procedural fairness.”
The report recommends that, “the entire Strait Shores council, including Complainant MacGregor, undertake code of conduct, governance, and procedural fairness training.”
MacGregor told CHMA last week that he “wholeheartedly” supported the recommendations.
CHMA has reached out to Deputy Mayor Annamarie Boyd for comment, but have received no response.

Strait Shores consultant recommends mediation for council and staff to mend ‘fractured’ relationship
An investigator who looked into alleged code of conduct violations by a Strait Shores councillor has recommended mediation for the council and staff of the municipality, along with training for Councillor Andy MacGregor. But a Mount Allison politics professor says the investigator’s report, and the bylaw under which Councillor Andy MacGregor is being censured, is problematic.
Andy MacGregor has been suspended from council since February 20, 2025, after an unusual resolution was passed by two other Strait Shores councillors, one of whom has since resigned.
The resolution cites letters of complaint from councillors about
MacGregor’s behaviour at a February 10 public council meeting, and
blames MacGregor for the resignation of former mayor Jason Stokes a few
days after that meeting. It also says staff had “informally reported
feeling harassed and intimidated by
Councillor MacGregor’s
behaviour”. The resolution then calls for MacGregor to be barred from
contacting municipal staff or council or entering the municipal hall
until a third party investigation into possible code of conduct
violations could be completed.
Human resources consultant Rollie King of MC Advisory completed that investigation this month, and CHMA has obtained a copy of his report. In it, King concludes that MacGregor did indeed violate three sections of the Strait Shores code of conduct.

‘Fractured’ but ‘repairable’ relationship
According to his report, King’s investigation consisted of interviews with staff and council members from Strait Shores — all except recently resigned mayor Jason Stokes, who did not respond to King’s request, but whose scathing letter of resignation is included in King’s report.
In his report, King says he, “observed a fractured relationship between Councillor MacGregor and Council and Staff.” But King also says it is his view that the relationship is “repairable.”
CHMA has reached out to Strait Shores acting mayor, Annamarie Boyd, as well as CAO Donna Hipditch, for their reactions to the report and the next steps to be taken by the municipality. Boyd says she won’t have a public statement on the matter until she has spoken to council and staff. And on Thursday, Hipditch said via email, “The next step is to meet with mediation and then we go from there.”
Councillor Andy MacGregor says he is prepared to accept the report and its recommendations. “I got up this morning and put my big boy pants on,” MacGregor told CHMA. “So I can… I’ll take that and move forward.”
King’s report found that MacGregor had violated three sections of the Strait Shores code of conduct. One of those sections says members of council must:
“Treat fellow Councillors, Administration/Staff and the public with respect, concern and courtesy and not engage in discrimination, bullying, harassment or use of derogatory language towards others.”
King didn’t cite any instances of bullying or derogatory language, but found MacGregor was disrespectful in his address to council on February 10, when he “strongly urged” members who were not willing to accept more transparency and accountability to “resign for the betterment of Strait Shores.”
Another section King cites as having been breached by MacGregor is one that says all councillors shall:
“Communicate and work with all fellow Councillors in an open, transparent and honest manner promoting a spirit of cooperation by listening to and respecting those opinions that may differ.”
That’s a section of the Code of Conduct that MacGregor says can cut both ways. “It’s funny how the same clause they’re using for, you know, offense, I’m using for defense,” says MacGregor.
“In my statement, I was giving my opinion, right?” says MacGregor. “I didn’t call anybody out, I didn’t mention names, I didn’t point the finger at anybody. I just said, this is how we should operate, and this is how we should govern. And if you don’t think you can do that, maybe you shouldn’t be here.”

council meeting led to an investigation by human resources consultant

their positions. Photo: Erica Butler
The final violation identified by King is from another section of the Code of Conduct, which says that councillors must:
“Exercise their duties in an impartial manner, making decisions based on objective criteria, rather than on the basis of bias or prejudice.”
King says that he found that MacGregor held some animosity towards the CAO, and also that he, “acknowledges that he has an objective – to make Council accountable and take back control from Staff.”
“To that extent” writes King, “he has not acted objectively.”
MacGregor says he has some difficulty with that criticism, considering he had just been elected to Strait Shores council in December on a platform of increasing transparency and accountability.
“People put me in that position to try and accomplish that, to bring that forward,” says MacGregor. “And so when I was given the opportunity and the ways and means to accomplish that objective, I was slapped with a code of conduct violation. And it’s like, well, hang on. That just doesn’t seem right.”
Codes ‘problematic’ for democratic municipal government
Geoff Martin is a political science professor and expert in municipal government. He has read the report by investigator Rollie King, as well as the Strait Shores code of conduct bylaw on which it relies. Martin says that although he thinks codes of conduct are needed and useful, there are issues with the way they are written in general.
“The kind of codes of conduct we’re seeing, which I think are a template that was written in Fredericton,” says Martin, “are clearly problematic and are probably written by someone who isn’t all that committed to the idea of municipal government as a democratic form of government.”
Martin points in particular to the section calling for councillors to be impartial and objective, and how King has interpreted MacGregor’s admitted agenda for transparency as a violation of that.
“There’s no rule against saying that, you know, I was sent here by people who are unhappy with the way the municipality is running, and I’m going to channel that unhappiness,” says Martin. “To basically say that, you know, you’re out of line for representing that part of the community, I think is wrong.”
Martin says that codes of conduct for elected councils must be written and interpreted differently than corporate codes, and should acknowledge the role of elected councillors as providing the vision and general steering of the values of the municipality.
“We have a councillor who’s been elected, has a reform agenda, is an outsider, and that’s his vision, right? He’s being told that’s a violation of the code of conduct, as though this is some kind of corporation… where the councillors are employees, and they have a duty of loyalty to the CAO, or a duty of loyalty to the mayor, or a duty of loyalty to the corporation,” says Martin. “And they can’t criticize it publicly. Well, of course they can. In a democratic municipal government, councillors are allowed to criticize each other. They’re allowed to criticize the conduct of the municipality.”
Concern raised about municipal staff ‘ignored’
Investigator Rollie King’s report specifically mentions MacGregor’s problematic relationship with CAO Donna Hipditch. King says he was told in interviews that both staff members felt MacGregor was “out to get” the CAO. MacGregor says that’s not his intention, and suggests that perception might come from a concern he raised back in June 2024, well before the by-election when he was elected to council.

“I approached all three councillors with a concern about a municipal staff member,” says MacGregor. “It was fully detailed, which is the proper way you’re supposed to go about everything. And it basically… there was no response. It was, I don’t know if you want to say it was swept under the carpet, or it was just ignored.”
MacGregor says that concern is still “hanging out there” unresolved, and wonders if “maybe that’s why people think I’m trying to get rid of people, because I see what I perceive as a wrongdoing, and I mention it. And now I’m perceived as ‘hating’.”
Tone policing?
King writes that his report and recommendations ultimately focus on MacGregor’s short time on council, although email and information requests shared with him by staff went back much farther, to 2023. King says the number and tone of those communications have contributed to a stressful work environment for staff, but that they were not directly relevant to the code of conduct complaint.
King writes in his report that he found MacGregor had “passion for improving local governance,” but that it was “misguided and his approach was doomed to fail. His objectives for stronger governance are laudable. His methods to achieve it were not.”
Martin says this could be akin to tone policing.
“It’s one thing to say I would not have done things exactly this way,” says Martin. “But then it’s another thing to say that the person should be sanctioned for having made those choices.”
‘Most’ willing to participate in mediation
King recommends that “all Staff and members of Council participate in a facilitated mediation to start the process needed to repair the relationship and level set on how Council and Staff work together.”
He says most of the councillors and staff he interviewed said they would be willing to participate.
Now that King’s report has been completed, MacGregor says he believes he may be able to return to the council table. The resolution that barred him from the municipal office was written to be in effect “until such time as an investigation is completed.” And with just three members of council left, the Strait Shores council can’t hold a meeting until MacGregor can return.
MacGregor says he has no issues with King’s recommendations, including one asking that he get training on the role of a councillors. Ultimately he’s focussed on returning to his role.
“I’m looking forward to getting back to work. I hold no animosity against anybody,” he says. “What’s done is done… Let’s move forward.”

Commission finds Strait Shores council mishandled investigation into new member
Councillors didn’t understand procedural fairness but weren’t malicious, report says
Strait Shores council was not being fair under its own rules when it sanctioned a new councillor for conduct violations before the allegations against him were investigated, a watchdog group has found.
That finding was handed down by the Local Governance Commission of New Brunswick, an independent third party that can investigate code of conduct or conflict of interest breaches at the municipal level.
The investigation, released Wednesday, was requested by Andy MacGregor, who had joined Strait Shores council after a recent byelection in the southeast New Brunswick community.
MacGregor was sanctioned in February after introducing motions seeking more transparency from council. He received sanctions that effectively resulted in his suspension from council and was barred from municipal property and from contact with other councillors and staff.
The commission's finding was the opposite of what the council heard two weeks ago from the consultant who investigated MacGregor's conduct.
The consultant, hired by council after MacGregor was sanctioned, decided his conduct had violated the code of conduct.
After that investigation was complete, the commission started its own and found two remaining members of council, Annamarie Boyd, who is acting mayor, and Tanya Haynes, were the ones who violated the code.
Stacy Jones took part in the decisions about MacGregor, but she later resigned from council, said the report by commission chair Giselle Goguen and members Donna Redmond Gates and Troy Stones.

were several code of conduct violations in how council disciplined him. (Sam Farley/CBC)
The commission report said Boyd and Haynes's code breaches "were not malicious, but rather, the result of a lack of understanding of the principles of procedural fairness and the requirements set out in the Code of Conduct ByLaw."
The commission made two non-binding recommendations: MacGregor's sanctions should be lifted, and the whole council, including MacGregor, should get training on code of conduct, governance and procedural fairness.
Both Boyd and Haynes did not respond to interview requests, so it is unclear if the council will abide by the recommendations.
No due process, commission says
The eight-page ruling details the process council used for disciplining MacGregor and said he was essentially "sanctioned prior to council fully processing and deciding" on the alleged complaints against him.
Council also "did not follow the procedures" for submitting official complaints, the ruling says. A resignation letter from former Mayor Jason Stokes, which had called MacGregor "the town bully," does not count as an official complaint, because it does not include specific allegations.
The Strait Shores bylaw says complaints must be made in writing, signed, and addressed to the mayor, or deputy mayor if the allegations are against the mayor. The complaints must then be included in the in-camera session of the next council meeting.
No formal complaints were ever filed about MacGregor, so the commission wrote that it appeared the "non-compliant complaints" had to do with council's earlier history with him.
Before he was elected in January, MacGregor "had many interactions with staff of Strait Shores while requesting various documentation and information related to the administration and the financial matters of Strait Shores," the report said.
Strait Shores council broke its own code of conduct, commission rulesIncluding those interactions in a complaint, however, would violate the code of conduct since complaints have to relate to a person's time on council, not before.
The commission also took issue with MacGregor's suspension, because it is not a sanction available under the code of conduct. Nor was a time limit imposed on the sanction.
These amounted to violations of the code of the code, the commission said, although it wasn't recommending fines or a formal reprimand.
But Boyd and Haynes acted in good faith and on a misunderstanding of the requirements of the code, the commission said.
In an interview, MacGregor said he was delighted with the ruling.
"I handed my submission into the Local Governments Commission because I felt I was being unduly treated," he said Thursday. "And they've wholeheartedly agreed with me.
"You want somebody to stand up and say, 'Hey, you can't do that to this guy.' And that's what I've got here."
Report is 'refreshing'
Geoff Martin, who teaches at Mount Allison University and has a research interest in New Brunswick municipal governments, found the ruling refreshing.
"This is a bit of a wakeup call and also sends a signal regarding the commission on local governance in terms of the approach they're going to take," Martin said.
Geoff Martin, a municipal politics expert, says he feels the ruling will send a strong signal. (CBC)
The commission, set up after communities and rural areas across the province were amalgamated into dozens of new municipalities, showed it won't always defend the local government in a dispute, but is open to hearing the other side, he said.
"It may be that the the commission itself is very aware of the situation where there are there are a lot of people in these new municipal governments and these new units who haven't yet received adequate training,"
Martin said the fact that the commission chose not to impose harsh sanctions will still carry a lot of weight and will act "as a warning to the entire municipal sector of New Brunswick."

Municipal councils, not province, should look after discipline, minister says
Municipalities don't want Fredericton 'meddling' in their affairs, Aaron Kennedy says
Disputes in Grand Lake and Strait Shores that led to councillor sanctions and suspension raise a question about the province's role: Can it do anything to help New Brunswick's newest communities keep the peace?
This isn't exactly the province's responsibility, according to Local Government Minister Aaron Kennedy, who says the disagreements that have caused some turmoil are just part of democracy.
Municipalities, all with codes of conduct, have the power to make decisions they deem best for local government and the people they represent, Kennedy said in an interview.
"And I think that's where those decisions should be made," Kennedy said. "I don't think local governments want me as the minister meddling in their affairs, that they would be much more eager to make those decisions on their own."
Although the process isn't uniform, each follows steps in its bylaws to investigate and possibly sanction a councillor. Some municipalities will hire a lawyer to investigate for them, as happened in Strait Shores and Grand Lake.
If a councillor or member of the public is not satisfied, they can request the Local Governance Commission, an independent body, investigate. But the commission is not an appeal body but can do an investigation after a council's own investigation finishes. In some circumstances, the commission can suspend a council and impose a supervisor.
A recent investigation into a suspended councillor in Strait Shores was questioned by experts because the councillor was disciplined before an investigation took place, and the sanctions imposed by council fell outside those outlined in the code of conduct.
Lyle Skinner, a constitutional lawyer, said in March that the Strait Shores example proves that the commission should be able to investigate code of conduct issues from the start, instead of having municipalities investigate first.
"It ensures procedural fairness," he said. "It ensures that any perception of bias or conflict of interest is also removed."
Councillor asks for more from department
In Grand Lake, Coun. Chanda Klassen was suspended for violating the code of conduct by going around council to conduct council business. But she said her case highlights a bigger problem: municipalities have not been given enough help from the province post-amalgamation.
In 2023, the province slashed the number of local government entities from 340 to 77 municipalities and 12 rural districts.
"We've been set adrift, basically 'Bon voyage, good luck,'" Klassen said.
"We need a compass. We need some support, we need some checks and balances and some benchmarks. And if a municipality is struggling, then I think you have to have some remedial help getting your roles defined and getting your bylaws in order."

"There should be supports from the province, there should be clear expectations and lots of guidance and support offered to municipalities for helping us to succeed," Klassen said.
On the other side of that dispute, Grand Lake Mayor Kevin Nicklin agreed on the need for more help from the Department of Local Government.
Nicklin said this was the first time he's had to deal with a code of conduct complaint and sought help from the province.
"We're looking for guidance, and they keep referring us back to our lawyer for the most part," Nicklin said.

navigating Klassen's suspension but was told to consult a lawyer. (Sam Farley/CBC)
Kennedy said his department is "always there to help municipalities" and will respond to calls.
But when it comes to asking for help interpreting code of conduct violations, Kennedy was clear.
"I don't think it's the department's job," he said.
"It's certainly not the department's job to provide legal advice to municipal government. They've created their code of conduct bylaws. It's up to them to administer it."
This is democracy, Kennedy says
Kennedy said councillors are often elected with differing views, but this is what democracy is about.
"But ultimately, although I know it's challenging, it's difficult when one has to pass judgment on another member of their council or our teammate, so to speak," he said.
"But I think it's important that that happens at that level rather than centrally in Fredericton."
When asked if codes of conduct have enough guardrails to make sure investigations are done properly, Kennedy said it's up to the councils themselves to decide that.
"I have full trust and confidence in the locally elected mayors and councillors in New Brunswick that they will make those decisions, and they will make them after due consideration of the evidence that's put before them," Kennedy said.
Strait Shores Coun. Andy MacGregor says he felt his fellow councillors 'weaponized' the code of conduct against him. (Sam Farley/CBC)
In Strait Shores, the sanctioned councillor, Andy MacGregor, has alleged that his colleagues had "weaponized" the code of conduct to get rid of him after he sought to bring more transparency to council.
Kennedy acknowledged that investigating a colleague is not easy.
"Nobody really signs up for that, but it comes with the position."
When asked what training is available, Kennedy said there is information on the department's website outlining expectations, time involvement and what the responsibilities of councillors are.
Some councillors come into the role thinking "they're going to run the municipality," he said, or they don't understand the different responsibilities of councillors and municipal staff, including the chief administrative officer.
In an earlier interview, Dan Murphy, executive director of the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick, said some municipalities need more training than what the department offers.
"There's all kinds of things that we could do that would just help our councils and our staff be better prepared," Murphy said.
Kennedy points to Quispamsis example
Kennedy, the former CAO of Quispamsis, said witnessing how that council suspended the mayor in 2019 over a scandal, proves other councils handle similar problems.
Then-mayor Gary Clark was suspended without pay after an investigation found he ducked an important meeting claiming to be checking in on a sick relative in hospital but was actually at the local swimming pool and had gained access using a false name.
Kennedy says that when he was the Quispamsis CAO, he witnessed council investigate and suspend the mayor, Gary Clark, in 2019. (Town of Quispamsis)
"They accepted the challenge, which was stressful and challenging and awkward to investigate their own mayor, but they realized that it was a serious allegation," Kennedy said of the councillors in the southern New Brunswick town.
But as for dysfunctional councils, Kennedy said that elections next year will give voters a chance to have their say.
"That's how democracy works and we're all subject to accountability to the people who have elected us," Kennedy said.
"I will face that same accountability process in the fall of 2028."

How a dispute over a hockey rink canteen led to Grand Lake councillor's suspension
Councillor says colleagues took heavy-handed approach to simple disagreement
Grand Lake is the latest community in New Brunswick to sanction a councillor for an alleged code of conduct violation. This time, the trouble began with a small dispute over the canteen at a hockey rink.
Chanda Klassen was elected to Chipman council in 2021, and remained after the village joined neighbouring Minto to form the Municipality of Grand Lake in 2023's amalgamation.
Becoming a councillor was a steep learning curve, but amalgamation of two "rival" communities was even more challenging, Klassen said. There were now two municipal offices, two sewer treatment plants, two arenas and two fire departments.
"A lot of resources go into maintaining those, and staffing and council relations can sometimes get a little stressed with those kinds of situations."
Describing herself as risk-averse, Klassen said she tended to ask many questions on council, which she admitted could "try the patience" of colleagues.
Council minutes show Klassen was not afraid to be the sole nay vote on many occasions.
But she would soon be suspended from council over an issue the mayor said could have been resolved with a simple apology.
Dispute started over arena canteen
Problems arose when the municipality had to find a new operator of the Chipman arena's canteen, which Klassen had previously run.
An interested business asked to chat with Klassen about the canteen operation, and she agreed.
"It's just natural for me to help somebody who's trying to get going in a new business," she said.
"And I was very familiar with the canteen, and I wasn't trying to tarnish the reputation."
But on arrival at the next council meeting, Klassen said, each desk had a printed out screenshot of the private communications she had with the business.
Grand Lake councillors suspend one of their ownCoun. Shawn Patterson said Klassen had gone around council by speaking with the business.
The screenshots showed Klassen asking the business for permission to bring up at council that she felt the process of seeking an operator was different from what Patterson had said publicly.
The business expressed concern with that approach and said it did not want to get caught in the middle of drama because it felt nothing wrong had been done.
Klassen went on to message the business and suggest it ask for other concessions from the municipality.
"Don't be shy to ask for a freezer & stove," Klassen wrote.
Another message said, "Just because I want [Patterson] to tell the truth doesn't mean I don't support you."
In the official code of conduct violation complaint, Patterson wrote that he felt this was "undermining a fellow councillor" and gave the impression "that council is untrustworthy."

In an interview, Patterson said the business came to him and shared the screenshots.
Patterson said Klassen had acted on her own by approaching the business, and he described her comments in the messages as "disheartening."
He agreed with Mayor Kevin Nicklin that an apology would have "gone a long way."
The business, Caravan Bakery, declined an interview request.
Lawyer found Klassen did break rules
Patterson said after no one responded to the canteen tender, he reached out to a few businesses and asked them if they were interested.
He said he supported the business that initially reached out to Klassen for advice, because she had run the canteen. but then the conversation crossed a line, he said.
He brought a formal complaint against her.
Nicklin held a vote on Dec. 16 asking if council would look into the complaint, and all but Klassen voted yes.
It was sent to the municipality's lawyer, who found Klassen had violated the code of conduct.

was clear, so a full investigation wasn't needed. (Sam Farley/CBC)
Klassen said she never got the opportunity to give her side of the story to the lawyer, despite asking for a meeting. A request from her for mediation was also denied, she said.
Klassen received a letter on Feb. 14 informing her of the punishment that she was stripped of her committee roles and that she must make a formal apology to Patterson. She refused.
On March 3, council voted to suspend Klassen without pay for three months.
"It's in my mind very trivial and could have been resolved with a simple conversation," Klassen said.
She had no malicious intent and it was the business that first approached her, she said.
There was no need for full investigation, mayor says
Nicklin confirmed in an interview that Klassen did not get the chance to speak, but said it was unnecessary because the screenshots clearly showed rules were broken.
"It is true that we did not ask to go further because the simple reason was it was right there in paper, you know, so we weren't ruling on what the entire conversation was," Nicklin said.
"What we were ruling on was, was there a breach in the code of conduct, and there was no denying that it was a breach in the code of conduct."
Nicklin said he initially thought it could be resolved.
Grand Lake Coun. Shawn Patterson brought forward the code of conduct complaint against Klassen. (Michael Heenan/CBC)
"When it started, I felt that it might be a conversation that got away from a person and that's why we looked for an apology."
He said Klassen has since further broken the code of conduct by "negatively" posting about the situation on Facebook.
"Sometimes not all decisions go our way, but as council, we stand together and we work as one when we come out of the room and a decision is rendered," Nicklin said.
"And that's not what's happening now."
Nicklin said it will be "a journey" for the council to continue after what happened.
Sometimes council is 'too serious,' Klassen says
Klassen isn't the first councillor in a new community to be suspended this year before getting a chance to answer code of conduct allegations. The Strait Shores council in southeastern New Brunswick suspended Andy MacGregor after he proposed measures to improve accountability.
- Legality of sanctions against Strait Shores councillor questioned
- Councillor's way of proposing change violated conduct code, investigator says
Unlike Klassen, MacGregor did get a chance to speak to the lawyer who investigated the allegations.
Klassen said what happened to her shows the need for a more formal, third-party process across the province to investigate code of conduct allegations.
"When it's left to lawyers and municipalities to investigate themselves, there's a lot of room for error."
She also worries that situations like hers might discourage people from paying attention to municipal politics.
"I think a lot of times we get maybe too serious, and we forget why we're doing what we're doing and we get too committed to accomplishing something that we forget we're a team."
She said she contacted the Local Governance Commission but was told because they believed she did violate the code of conduct, they would not investigate.
Klassen said she was told she could consult a lawyer, which she did, but that the fees were not feasible.
"When you offer to be a councillor, you shouldn't have to have a lawyer on retainer in order to do it."
She said she hopes council can resolve the dispute and learn from it.
"I don't think suspending a councillor and hanging them out to dry for three months and taking them away from the residents that elected them is the right approach."

RCMP service is 'broke,' says mayor of N.B. town, as dissatisfaction hits boiling point
Residents show up at Grand Lake council meeting to air concerns over quality of policing service
Dissatisfaction with the quality of service from the RCMP has seemingly reached a boiling point in a central New Brunswick town, in the wake of a recent home invasion that ended with a 75-year-old man being shot.
"I think their system's broke," Grand Lake Mayor Kevin Nicklin said to residents at a council meeting Monday night.
"To me, they're not doing policing anymore. They're doing investigation work."
He added that the few police officers in the community of about 5,800 appear to be too overworked to properly respond to crimes as they're happening.
Residents frustrated
Nicklin's comments reflected frustration shared by the residents who showed up at the meeting.
They voiced concerns about how the RCMP responded to a recent shooting and about a general sense the force is inadequately serving the southern New Brunswick community, which includes the villages of Chipman and Minto.
"We've got people breaking into houses, shooting people, we've got stuff being stolen constantly," said one resident, who didn't introduce herself before addressing council.
"So I'm just kind of getting a little frustrated [because] we have no support from anyone."
Citizens can rest assured that there are always enough RCMP police officers and operators to respond to urgent priority calls.
- Cpl. Hans Ouellette, RCMP spokesperson
The RCMP said officers responded on Sept. 1 to a report of a shooting outside a home in Gaspereau Forks, which is part of the amalgamated Municipality of Grand Lake, about 80 kilometres northeast of Fredericton.
The RCMP said they believe two people were burglarizing a home, when the owner and a 75-year-old man arrived at the scene. An altercation followed, and the elderly man was shot. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
As details of the shooting — and the fact no arrests had been made — spread by word of mouth, residents became concerned about a lack of communication from the RCMP about what had happened and whether the public was in danger.
RCMP finally issued a news release online, three days after the incident took place.
No updates, including news of any arrests, have been provided.
News asked the RCMP for an interview about the concerns residents raised on Monday and whether the RCMP are bound by a standard response time for calls.
Instead, Cpl. Hans Ouellette provided a statement, which did not say whether RCMP are required to respond to calls within a certain timeframe.
As for staffing, Ouellette said, the force has filled 43 of 51 new front-line officer positions for New Brunswick, for which the provincial government provided funding for over two years starting in 2023.

positions for front-line officers, adding there are always enough
officers to respond to urgent priority calls. (Pat Richard/CBC)
Ouellette said the RCMP expects to hire the other eight front-line officers by the end of next year.
Once that is done, Regional Service Commission 11, which includes Grand Lake, will have 15 new officers, bringing the total complement up to 58.
Ouellette said those 58 officers would be split between detachments in Minto, Keswick, Nackawic, New Maryland and Oromocto, but he didn't say exactly how many would be stationed at each.
"Citizens can rest assured that there are always enough RCMP police officers and operators to respond to urgent priority calls, and to ensure officer and public safety, as RCMP resources can be shared throughout the [regional service commission] and provincially if necessary," Ouellette said.
Response time questioned
Residents on Monday peppered Nicklin with questions about what he knew about the RCMP's response on Sep. 1, and whether anything would be done in response to it.
Some attendees alleged the police took an hour to respond to the call about the shooting.
Nicklin said he asked the RCMP for that information, but they declined to share it with him.
"I would prefer that they [RCMP] were here to answer these questions themselves, obviously," Nicklin said.
"I have fought with them tooth and nail over it. I went so far as to suggest to them that we side with the Fredericton police and pay them the fees because they would be easier to deal with."
Concerns brought to minister
Nicklin said he's already raised concerns with Public Safety Minister Kris Austin, who is also the MLA for the area.
Nicklin said Austin told him his government would work to have 11 RCMP officers stationed specifically at the Minto detachment, which Nicklin said currently has two officers attached to it.
However, the timeline for getting those officers in Minto was unknown because of hiring challenges, Nicklin said.
CBC News asked for an interview with Austin about what standard RCMP officers are held to when it comes to response times in rural communities, and what he planned to do to address residents' dissatisfaction with their service.
In a statement to CBC News, Austin did not say whether RCMP are required to respond to calls within a certain timeframe.
But he said he's concerned about crime in the community, which he said is the reason his government spent more money for new officers.
"I believe rural regions will see a noticeable change in police presence with this injection of these additional RCMP officers," he said.
Under a 20-year contract, RCMP provide policing in areas of the province where there is no municipal police force.
Municipalities pay part of the cost, which for Grand Lake is about $1 million a year, Nicklin said.
However, he's just the latest mayor to complain in recent years about not getting the desired level of service from the RCMP.
Nicklin said he invited members of the RCMP to Monday's council meeting, but they declined.
In response to comments by residents, he said he would go back to the RCMP, as well as to Austin, to ask them to attend a town hall meeting to discuss residents' concerns.

May 2, 2017
Halifax partner Ray Adlington was recently named to the CBA Board of Directors.
In their announcement yesterday the CBA advised that the board would
come into effect September 1st, 2017.
After collecting extensive input over the past two years, we know
that CBA members believe it’s important for the organization to have a
Board of Directors that reflects the diversity of the legal
profession, including a mix of practice types, experience, skills,
geography and more.
Our new Board of Directors exemplifies this principle.
The board is composed from one member from each province as well as
the CBA President.
Congratulations Ray on this well deserved appointment.

Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.
At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
he stated:
As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.
In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard Bell”
Judge

Councillor's way of proposing change violated conduct code, investigator says
Strait Shores council asked for investigation after feeling disrespected by newest member
An investigation into Strait Shores Coun. Andy MacGregor, who was only allowed at two council meetings before being banished from municipal property, has found he violated the council code of conduct.
In his decision, the investigator said MacGregor needs training in how to be a councillor and should take part in mediation with his colleagues.
MacGregor won a January byelection in the rural municipality southeast of Moncton.
But he rubbed his fellow councillors and municipal staff the wrong way with his questions and his proposed changes in how things are done at the municipality, according to the investigator's report.
MacGregor has said he joined council to promote transparency, so he introduced motions that included having meeting minutes and documents posted quickly.
What followed were resignations by two councillors and by the mayor, Jason Stokes, who issued a blistering letter calling MacGregor the "town bully." The two councillors later rescinded their resignations, although one has since resigned again.
The remaining councillors, through a motion, then ordered MacGregor to stay away from municipal property, staff and fellow councillors while an investigator looked into whether his behaviour violated the code of conduct.
The investigation was conducted by Rollie King of MC Advisory, which describes itself on its website as a human resources advisory firm affiliated with McInnes Cooper, a law firm.
A sanctioned councillor in Strait Shores violated code of conduct, report findsIn the report, which CBC obtained, King said he interviewed all councillors, MacGregor, municipal CAO Donna Hipditch and clerk Angela Grant. Stokes declined to participate.
King said most of the staff accusations against MacGregor were about his behaviour before he joined council, chiefly about his asking questions and his demanding requests for information. Staff said the volume of requests and MacGregor's behaviour hurt their health.
King said this was important context, although his job was to consider accusations made about MacGregor's official time as a councillor.
King wrote that members of council, whom he didn't name, felt MacGregor demonstrated a lack of respect toward them, had an agenda and was aggressive.
King did not include any examples of this or any proof of the accusations against MacGregor.
CBC News requested an interview with Local Government Minister Aaron Kennedy, or anyone from his department who could speak to the problems at Strait Shores, one of the new municipalities created in 2023 under local governance reform.
Department spokesperson Jennifer MacNeil denied this request but sent an email saying the department is "aware of ongoing governance and administrative challenges" affecting Strait Shores.
"As stated previously, the department remains committed to providing advice, guidance and additional training and support opportunities to all local governments," MacNeil said, without including specifics.
Was councillor sanctioned?
In finding that MacGregor broke the code of conduct rules, King highlighted the councillor's speech about his proposed changes as an example of disrespectful behaviour.
King found MacGregor has an agenda and his behaviour did not promote a spirit of co-operation. He added that he feels MacGregor "holds some animosity" toward the CAO.
King also wrote that he does not believe council was actually sanctioning MacGregor when it voted to bar him from meetings.
"Councillor MacGregor was, in my words, 'sent home' until the investigation was complete," King wrote. "This is common in workplace type of complaints."
MacGregor received a copy of the report late Wednesday. The report was done by Rollie King of MC Advisory. (Sam Farley/CBC)
MacGregor has shared an email with CBC News that he received from the Local Government Commission, which described the sanctions he received as a "suspension."
Municipal government experts have questioned the legality of those sanctions because they were different from the list of allowed sanctions in the Strait Shores council code of conduct. They were also handed down before the investigation was completed.
King recommended that all members of staff and council participate in a "facilitated" mediation.
"I observed a fractured relationship between Councillor MacGregor and council and staff. It is my view that it is repairable."
King ended by saying MacGregor clearly has a passion for improving local governance.
"It is my opinion that it was completely misguided and his approach was doomed to fail," King wrote.
"His objectives for stronger governance are laudable. His methods to achieve it were not."
When reached by phone Thursday, King declined an interview, directing questions to the municipality. CBC News requested an interview with Annamarie Boyd, the acting mayor, but did not get a response.
Councillor stands by actions
In an interview, MacGregor said the investigation process felt fair, but he stands by his actions. He said he "respectfully disagrees" with the characterization that his conduct amounted to bullying and harassment.
Before joining council, MacGregor said, he asked for things such as meeting minutes or documents that hadn't been posted on the website. He also said he filed several right to information requests with the municipality.
"I never demanded anything, he said. "Asking for something multiple times — I mean, is that a demand, or just persistence?"
He also took issue with the investigator's finding that he was acting with an agenda.
"I'm speaking on behalf of the people. This isn't my objective, right? I mean, I'm just the messenger here, this is the people of Straight Shores' agenda. This is what they want."
Next step not clear
King's report makes no mention of allowing MacGregor back to council.
The sanctions MacGregor received in February said they were in effect "until such time as an investigation is complete."
It's also unclear if the council can even accept the report.
Coun. Stacy Jones has resigned for a second time, and her name and contact have been removed from the municipal website. The council, which normally has five members, including the mayor, is now down to three, including MacGregor and the acting mayor.

centre right, and MacGregor, who is not allowed to attend council
meetings. (Chad Ingraham/CBC)
Although MacGregor is barred from participating in meetings, Oley said he is still a member of the council, which requires a quorum of three.
"There is a difference between a council having quorum and the same council having the necessary quorum for a meeting," Oley said.
CBC has asked both the CAO and municipal clerk for clarification on when MacGregor will be allowed back, but there's been no response.
Strait Shores council's April neeting was cancelled because the municipal office had to move one building over. The next meeting would be in May.
"So it's kind of odd," MacGregor said. "We have quorum, but we don't have quorum. What we have here is a non-functioning council.
"We can't make any decisions. Council can't even get together to accept this report, and they can't even act on the report because they need me there to do that."
MacGregor said he still has complaints lodged with the province's ombud and the Local Governance Commission, which is not an appeal body, and must wait until a council's investigation into conduct allegations is complete before starting its own.
Mary Oley, the Local Governance Commission director, confirmed in an email April 3 to MacGregor that the commission "is aware of the resignation of former councillor Stacey Jones." But in an email to CBC News on April 10, Oley said the commission "has not been officially advised that a councillor has resigned from Strait Shores."
"In order for the LGC to be officially aware of a vacancy, we must be advised by Elections NB after they have received notification of the vacancy from the local government. To date, we have not received such a notification from Elections NB for Strait Shores."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A conflict has engulfed a brand-new N.B. municipality. It may be a sign of a wider problem
Local government roiled by sanctions, resignations and accusations of bullying
The idea sounded simple: adopt local government reform to bring villages, towns and local service districts in New Brunswick together under the watch of new councils.
But a little more than two years after amalgamation happened across the province, some of those mandated unions have struggled with division, anger and a steep learning curve.
This has been especially true in Lakeland Ridges, Fundy Albert and most recently, Strait Shores, a cluster of communities that includes the former village of Port Elgin in southeastern New Brunswick.
That's where Coun. Andy MacGregor has been at the centre of a storm over legally questionable sanctions for alleged code of conduct violations.
MacGregor says the municipal code of conduct is being "weaponized" against him after he introduced some transparency motions shortly after being elected in January. Among other things, the motions called for the posting of previous financial statements, using public tenders when a municipal asset is sold, and imposing a deadline for posting meeting minutes.
MacGregor was sanctioned, and the mayor and two councillors resigned, blaming MacGregor in their resignation letters, calling him the "town bully" and accusing him of harassment.
Dan Murphy, executive director of the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick, said part of the problem is the impact of local government reform.
Municipalities are dealing with increased responsibilities but sometimes with the same number of staff they had as smaller communities, and often with many first-time councillors, Murphy said.
Dan
Murphy, executive director of the Union of Municipalities of New
Brunswick, says more training for municipal councillors to clarify roles
and responsibilities would help. (Submitted by Kandise Brown)
"There are certain communities that have had struggles and are starting to get their legs under them now," Murphy said. "And then there are others that still need additional support and training and resourcing."
While the Department of Local Government offers some orientation training, and the municipalities union offers training at annual conferences, more is needed, "whether that's in clarifying roles and responsibility or financial management or understanding planning requirements," Murphy said.
"There's all kinds of things that we could do that would just help our councils and our staff be better prepared."
When major problems do erupt, where do local councils go for help?
Just shy of a year ago, the province inaugurated the Local Governance Commission, which MacGregor said he's lodged a complaint with.
New commission to investigate council problems
Mary Oley, the commission's director and general counsel, declined to discuss the Strait Shores case but said in an interview that anyone launching a complaint must first let the local council's investigation finish.
"If the local government refuses to accept their complaint, or if they're unsatisfied with the result, they can then make a complaint with us," Oley said.
"We are not an appeal body. We look at it completely new, with fresh eyes, and conduct our own fulsome investigation."
If a complaint is made, and it's within the commission's jurisdiction, the subject of the complaint is notified and has an opportunity to respond, Oley said. The commission will then offer mediation and can proceed to an investigation if needed.
That would be undertaken by the commission, which has a chair and four members.
When trouble arises within local councils, this group can helpThe commission "can impose sanctions such as repayment of funds that were obtained as a result of a conflict of interest, and they can even suspend council members, and in some circumstances, senior employees for up to 90 days," Oley said.
The timeline of the investigation depends on the case, she said.
"But we understand that especially these types of complaints, they affect people, they have real-world impacts. No one wants to be accused of wrongdoing. So we do endeavour to process them as quickly and efficiently as possible."
And if a council loses quorum, Oley said, the commission has the power to appoint a supervisor, which effectively suspends a council temporarily.
"So we need to act very quickly to have somebody in place so that essential services continue to be provided, bills are paid, things of that nature."
But another more extreme option allows the commission to recommend cabinet appoint a supervisor when councils "are not functioning properly," especially with financial issues or if it's in "the public interest."
Murphy said the commission is a good place for resolutions, but it should be a last resort.
"Ideally, we're able to have the necessary training and the ability to understand things in-house before we have to go to that."
CBC News requested an interview with Local Government Minister Aaron Kennedy or anyone from the department about the province's support for municipalities, like Strait Shores, that have run into problems. Spokesperson Kelly Cormier did not make anyone available.
Commission should take additional role, lawyer says
While MacGregor waits for the commission to take up his case after the municipality's own investigation wraps up, one expert suggests it should have been able to do so right from the start.
Constitutional lawyer Lyle Skinner said one helpful legislative tweak would allow the commission to investigate code of conduct issues from the start, instead of having municipalities investigate first.
"It ensures procedural fairness. It ensures that any perception of bias or conflict of interest is also removed," he said.
"Just to reduce the temperature."
Mary
Oley , Local Governance Commission director and general counsel, says a
local council has to complete its own investigation before the
commission can start one. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
The Strait Shores investigation into MacGregor is being done by an undisclosed third party with an undisclosed timeline and cost.
Code of conduct violations are a costly distraction from a municipality's regular business, Skinner said.
But the issue is not a sign that municipal reform was a complete failure, because "you can only anticipate certain things when drafting until you see what happens in the real world."
"This call is just for a minor, minor correction that might make a substantive difference in how these things transpire in the future."
Higgs government pushed amalgamation too fast, prof says
Geoff Martin, who teaches politics at Mount Allison University, said the former Blaine Higgs government didn't show enough sensitivity bringing in municipal reform.
Hundreds of thousands of people across New Brunswick who didn't live in municipalities and were unaccustomed to council governments were suddenly thrown into it.
"These decisions were made without local buy-in. They weren't made with the consent of the governed or their council," Martin said.
"And what aggravates the situation as well ... I think that there is hardship in rural New Brunswick with the kind of taxable increases that people are seeing and a certain anger and a certain discontent."

Tantramar council gives preliminary approval to contentious code of conduct
Councillor Debbie Wiggins Colwell voiced concerns about 90-day suspensions
In a narrow 5-4 vote, Tantramar council gave preliminary approval (first reading) Tuesday to a revised code of conduct bylaw that would give members the power to suspend one of their colleagues for up to 90-days without pay.
“Remember this is first reading,” Mayor Andrew Black told council. “You still have another two readings, so there’s still opportunity for conversation.”
Black made the comment during a 19-minute debate in which the four councillors who voted against approving the revised bylaw, expressed concerns about the 90-day suspension as well as a provision that says members of council must “avoid forming ‘alliances’ with other councillors for the purpose of controlling council meetings, agendas or outcomes.”
“I definitely have no objections to the code of conduct. We do need the code of conduct,” said Councillor Debbie Wiggins-Colwell, adding however, that a 90-day suspension is a “heavy-handed” penalty.
She argued it would mean that wards with only one councillor such as Dorchester, Point de Bute and Westcock could lose their representation on council for up to three months.
“I represent everyone within our municipality,” countered Ward 3 Councillor Allison Butcher emphasizing that she does not only represent residents in the former town of Sackville where she was elected.
“We all represent everyone and someone who lives in Point de Bute can contact me if they have a problem,” she said.
Councillor Josh Goguen
Meantime, Councillor Josh Goguen took aim at the prohibition on forming alliances with other members.
“If I’m putting forward a motion and I go talk to the councillors and I say, ‘I want your support’ that could be considered as an alliance,” he said, adding the provision is open to differing interpretations.
Councillor Michael Tower said that while he agreed with the 90-day suspension without pay for “rogue” councillors, he too was concerned about the provision against forming alliances because it could discourage members of council from enlisting support from their colleagues.
“I really think alliances or conversations are consensus building,” he said.
Councillor Barry Hicks suggested that the town consult experts on municipal politics such as Mount Allison Professor Geoff Martin on what needs to be in a code of conduct bylaw.
(Martin, who served for six years as a municipal councillor in Sackville, told Warktimes recently that the draft of the revised code of conduct bylaw would violate Charter rights to free speech and free association.)
In the end, Mayor Black, Deputy Mayor Greg Martin and Councillors Butcher, Tower and Matt Estabrooks voted in favour of first reading while Councillors Bruce Phinney, Wiggins Colwell, Hicks and Goguen voted against.
Other Canadian provinces
Only three other provinces in Canada have regulations allowing for suspension of municipal council members for violating council codes of conduct:
- Newfoundland and Labrador: up to 3-month suspension
2. Prince Edward Island: suspension of the council member for a maximum of 6 months
3. Quebec: up to 90-day suspension
Three provinces have policies that explicitly prohibit such suspensions:
1. Ontario: penalties must not prevent council members from carrying out their duties
2. Saskatchewan: Statement from provincial minister of government relations (2023): Council members are ultimately accountable to the people who elect them. Voters make the decision on whether or not to re-elect a council member if they choose to run again for office. Removing a council member from that position before an election interferes with the democratic will of voters who put them there. Therefore, any action that effectively results in the removal from office would be undemocratic.
3. Alberta: Council may not impose any sanction that prevents a councillor from fulfilling the legislative duties of a councillor. Further, a councillor may not be disqualified and removed from office for a breach of the Code.
Note: As the debate over Tantramar’s revised council code of conduct continues, the municipality of Strait Shores has suspended a newly elected councillor indefinitely.

Subject: Resignation letter from Strait Shores mayor calls new councillor the 'town bully'
Just 2 years old, an N.B. council is in turmoil after resignations and sanctions
Resignation letter from Strait Shores mayor calls new councillor the 'town bully'
Another of New Brunswick's new municipal councils has become embroiled in drama and bitter conflict.
Strait Shores lies along the Northumberland Strait and includes the former village of Port Elgin and smaller communities out to the Confederation Bridge. The sprawling community was amalgamated in 2023 as part of local governance reform.
But the Strait Shores council began to unravel this year after a new member was elected in a January byelection.
What followed were resignations, sanctions, heated allegations and a tense public meeting, where angry residents spoke out in support of the new councillor, saying he was being unfairly punished.
Andy MacGregor, a retiree who took up school-bus driving to stay busy, said he ran in the byelection after attending council meetings and feeling local government needed more structure.
"Not much detail, not much talking, no discussion, just everything was rubber-stamped in and out," MacGregor said in an interview.
At his second meeting, on Feb. 10, MacGregor introduced a dozen transparency motions. Among other things, he called for posting previous financial statements, requiring a public tender when a municipal asset is sold, and imposing a deadline for posting meeting minutes.
In his speech, which he shared with CBC News, MacGregor called on his colleagues to be accountable.
"And if you feel that for any reason, you cannot work within this system, I would strongly urge you to resign for the betterment of Strait Shores."
Over a month later, the minutes from that meeting are still not on the Strait Shores website, so it is unclear how other councillors voted on his motions.
What is clear, however, is the meeting struck a nerve.
Accusations of a 'town bully'
Mayor Jason Stokes resigned Feb. 14, and in a blistering three-page letter, attacked MacGregor.
Stokes called MacGregor the "town bully" and accused him of having "intense hatred" for municipal staff. MacGregor's motions came from a "need to control the staff," said Stokes, who wanted an apology.
How a council in rural New Brunswick unravelled after a new councillor was electedA CBC request for an interview with Stokes went unanswered.
When CBC first requested a copy of Stokes's letter, CAO Donna Hipditch said it could be found on a local Facebook group, where it was posted anonymously. Asked again for an official copy, Hipditch refused to provide one until it was tabled at council's next meeting.
Soon after, two other councillors, Stacy Jones and Tanya Haynes, also resigned, only to then change their minds. Hipditch would not provide copies of their resignation letters, saying it would be "redundant" after they had returned to their roles.
If their resignations had stood and there was no longer a quorum, New Brunswick's Local Governance Commission would have stepped in to supervise the municipality.
Last year, the province stepped in to appoint a supervisor in the municipality of Lakeland Ridges, which also saw rampant infighting among councillors. And in nearby Fundy-Albert, the mayor resigned, blaming the province for doing little to help with the growing pains of amalgamation.
No details of code of conduct review
On Feb. 20, MacGregor said he received a letter, signed by the clerk and acting mayor, telling him he was being sanctioned and was the subject of a code of conduct review.
Handwritten across the letter were the words "personal and confidential — this cannot be shared with anyone." The letter said MacGregor's conduct at the Feb. 10 meeting resulted in "multiple instances" of councillors complaining about his conduct.
"Municipal staff have also informally reported being harassed and intimidated by Councillor MacGregor's behaviour," the letter said.
Until an investigation is complete, the letter said, MacGregor was barred from contacting municipal staff and councillors, and from entering municipal buildings. No details of the investigation or a timeline were given."I've been basically, completely stripped of my democratically elected rights to represent people of Strait Shores," MacGregor said.
"They just weaponized the code of conduct. I mean, they just want to get rid of me."

Deputy Mayor Annamarie Boyd is now acting mayor, overseeing a council now made up of herself and freshly un-resigned councillors Jones and Haynes. Normally, the council has a mayor and four councillors, one acting as deputy mayor.
While MacGregor said he believes he is still a councillor, he is not listed as one on the municipal website.
MacGregor said he's complained officially to the province and hopes to resume serving as councillor.
"I'm not discouraged at all," he said. "I mean, this is why I decided to run for transparency, accountability.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll get back at the table when this is done, and we'll just pick up where I left off, right?"
After MacGregor was banished from the council table, those who remained made sure no one else could join them anytime soon.
No elections until 2026
According to meeting minutes, a motion to declare Stokes's mayoral vacancy to Elections N.B. in time for a spring byelection was defeated at a special council meeting Feb. 28.
Elections N.B. spokesperson Paul Harpelle said in an email that because no official notice of a vacancy was received, Strait Shores will have to wait until the next New Brunswick municipal elections on May 11, 2026, meaning Boyd will be acting mayor until then.
The decision not to ask for a byelection was just another source of anger for residents, which bubbled over at council's meeting March 10, the first since controversies started to pile up.
Residents pack council meeting
About 40 people crammed into the tiny municipal building in Port Elgin, which had seating for 12. Two RCMP cruisers idled across the street, a rare sight in the village where the nearest police stations, in Shediac and Sackville, are 30-minute drives away.
Before Stokes's resignation letter was tabled, resident Stephen Robb spoke in MacGregor's defence and called for Boyd and the remaining councillors to resign.
"It shouldn't be necessary to remind council that airing dirty laundry is the worst possible way to leave a legacy for your time in office and residents deserve and expect better," Robb said.

and called for the acting mayor and remaining councilors to resign. (Chad Ingraham/CBC)
"Strait Shores is viewed as a community which is unable to help itself because of rampant infighting and bullying."
Robb's speech drew loud applause from the crowd. Boyd then continued with regular council business for a tense 20 minutes.
A representative of the regional service commission was also at the table. Hipditch said this was because she and the councillors were all women and fearful of the large crowd.
When the meeting adjourned, the public stayed in the room, with some jeering and others seeking one-on-one talks with councillors.
Staff turned off the lights to try to get people to leave, with little effect.
In an interview after the room darkened, Boyd wouldn't say who was doing the code of conduct investigation into MacGregor or when it would be completed, citing confidentiality.

council is now only made up of, clockwise, Tanya Haynes, Stacey Jones,
and Annamarie Boyd, the acting mayor. Donna Hipditch is the CAO. (Chad Ingraham/CBC)
She also would not comment on the call for her resignation minutes earlier.
"I'd like for people to give us a chance," she said when asked if she believed the council is transparent.
Council can only serve the public if the community "stops the infighting, the bickering," she said.
She wouldn't say why council wouldn't declare the mayor's post vacant, although she's found stepping in as acting mayor "quite overwhelming."
Supporters urge MacGregor not to quit
After residents finally left the building, several lingered on the sidewalk, voicing concerns. Some municipal staff left in such a hurry they got into a fender-bender leaving the parking lot.
Lara MacMillan said she was at the February meeting that resulted in MacGregor being sanctioned.
"He was sincere and he was serious, but he was not threatening, and he was not a bully," she said. "He was giving voice to many of us who are and have been imploring the council to represent us.
"I see all kinds of potential and what we want to see is representation that meets the needs of the community."
Nearby, Gary Rayworth agreed and said he voted for MacGregor because of his calls for transparency.
MacGregor's sanctions were indicative of problems with amalgamation and a lack of training for new councils.
He said he hopes MacGregor stands his ground.

"Go for it, Andy. Don't quit. Whatever you do. Hopefully he gets his feet back on the ground, because he's not easily deterred."
Joel Downs said removing MacGregor "doesn't seem very Canadian."
He said issues in Strait Shores reflect the slow decline of New Brunswick's small communities. Councils should be focused on promoting economic development and opportunity, he said, gesturing at several abandoned storefronts on the main street.
"Because without a future, what are our children and our grandchildren going to look forward to in these kinds of communities?"

Tourists, locals decry 'atrocious' condition of highway to provincial park
Route 955 runs past Confederation Bridge and Murray Beach Provincial Park
Parts of Route 955 are crumbling and some locals say the government isn't doing enough to fix the road. (Jonna Brewer/CBC NB)Tourists and locals alike are decrying the condition of a scenic coastal highway that's used to access a provincial park.
Route 955, which skirts the Northumberland Strait, passing by the Confederation Bridge and Murray Beach Provincial Park, has been crumbling for years, said Stephen Robb, who owns Luella's Country Market in Little Shemogue.
He said the road is so bad that last summer every customer who came into his store commented on its condition.
"It's just ludicrous that the provincial government has let this road get to this condition," said Robb.
"It is part of the Acadian coastal route, in fact it's the first part of it."
Multiple issues
Robb is a member of a group of local residents who are calling on the provincial government to fix the highway.
While most highway lanes are 10 feet wide, there are areas of the road where lanes are only seven feet wide because of deterioration, he said. The shoulders of the road dip in some places, and in others the vegetation on the shoulder is so overgrown that you can't see cars or wildlife coming around corners.

The condition of the highway makes no sense considering how much money the province has put into making Murray Beach attractive to tourists, Robb said.
"I know there's been a lot of upgrades there."
He said he met with Tourism Minister Tammy Scott-Wallace and was told repairing the road would be a priority going forward. But at a later meeting with the Department of Transportation, Robb was told the road was not a priority.

spot the province has spent money updating in recent years. (Jonna
Brewer/CBC)
He also claims the province set up traffic counters, used to determine how many cars travel on a road, in April when traffic would be lower, in order to avoid prioritizing the road.
CBC News has reached out to the departments of transportation and tourism for comment.
Highway is 'terrible' say campers
Campers staying at Murray Beach described their journey on the highway with words like "atrocious" or "treacherous."
"The roads are terrible," said John Fudge. "Everything in our trailer was all shook up and I was only going slow."
His travelling companion, Heather Dykeman, said she's travelled to a lot of provincial parks but never had an experience like this.
"This is the worst one," she said. "We were just shocked at the condition of the road to get in here."
Larry Carroll of Miramichi says the campground is nice but the road can be a bit 'scary' at times. (Jonna Brewer/CBC)
Larry Carroll of Miramichi said the campground is nice but the road can be a bit "scary" at times.
"There was a section where there was probably a quarter of the road washed away," said Carroll.
Robb said the continuing deterioration of the road will eventually hurt the tourism sector in the area.
"I think [tourists] come, they look at this and they go, 'that's a really sad place. It's pretty, but it's sad and the government doesn't care about it,'" he said.
With files from Jonna Brewer
True
If vehicles are required to be road-worthy, shouldn't roads be required to be vehicle-worthy?
Excellent question Do you remember what happened next?
https://www.cbc.ca/news/
You should see parts of the TCH on Vancouver Island... now that's a disgrace.
Have you looked at parts of our TCH lately???
The part maintained by professionals that know what they're doing, or the part maintained by yellow truck shovel leaners?
Our budgetary surplus hard at work......
Surely you jest
You should see the streets in my area. They are atrocious, run down, the bushes never cut back can't see around corners. Potholes in one busy street force the driver to go on the shoulder to get around.
And yet, there is Mr DJ himself proudly showing off his governments surplus. Good job guys! Good job in focusing on pronouns instead of infrastructure.
Why not run against Mr DJ in the next election?
The internet has videos of a gent in the UK that spray paints a rather graphic/phallic graffiti around each pothole in his neighborhood.
It forces the local government to fill the pothole to get rid of the ugly graffiti.
I would never advocate that anyone do this of course. ;-)
Remember our Pothole Vigilante???
https://www.cbc.ca/news/
Pot holes another problem from climate change/s.
Yea Right
This government has completely failed in its responsibilities to govern in a balanced manner, neglecting much needed and necessary investment in even simply maintaining existing infrastructure. Instead, they’d rather spend taxpayer dollars on an out-of-province Outhouse under the guise of advisor to the premier and on high-priced private sector lawyers to defend misguided government policies. And let’s not forget all the ongoing Irving subsidies or the $66 million ($34 million more than the original $32 million estimate) being spent on a new jail, in a minister’s riding an hour from courts and healthcare services (hence higher transportation costs) that many question the actual need for. The Higgs government has not been good for New Brunswick or New Brunswickers - it’s time for change.
Reply to Jim Lake
Do you know how many Unions are
negotiating 'new' Contracts with Gov't.
at this time ??
Think about that when commenting on
how our tax dollars are being spent .
Reply to Dianne MacPherson
??? … so what are you suggesting? The government shouldn’t negotiate with or offer decent compensation to those that deliver us services? That’s all part of what I refer to as “balanced” governing.
Reply to Jim Lake
"Balance" is not a word that one can use in NB.
The Higgs Gov't in the last two years or so is
governing with one hand tied behind its back.
The *vocal* population 'governs' in NB.
In all honesty , I can't wait for Election Day.....
we need a *reset* !!
Methinks Mr Outhouse is a nervous camper these days N'esy Pas?
This is far from the only neglected road in NB. The river road along the St. John River Rt. 102 is a draw to tourists now a damaging potholed dangerous trail. The once desirable ferry tour taking the various ferry's along the river is treacherous now. Try taking the Evandale and following the 705 along the lake toward Cambridge Narrows and see if you can navigate the potholed rim bending washed out mess.
They'll put down some random patching just in time to haul sand to the garages for winter and destroy it further.
People take pride in their properties and pay ridiculous taxes and in return they get an uncaring attitude and no pride in the infrastructure. Time for a change IMO.
Amen
It should be a small wonder why I called my Mayor's office and Mr Robb's Mayor's office as well
Life is good if the only complaint is the road.
Reply to Shevek Anarres
Ah yes, because crumbling infrastructure is a hallmark of good governance.
Reply to Louis Léger
Agreed, Higgs and his like are terrible at governance.
Reply to Louis Léger
Paying $2 MILLION PER DAY in interest on a $14 BILLION provincial debt, and the people that vote in favour of this, keep coming back with a hand out for more and complain when services suffer. Wait until the province is bankrupt, for the real fun to start.
Still spinning right eh?
Same thing happened on route 114 from hwy 1 into Fundy park and Alma. Road was so bad that tourists decided not to go to Fundy. Was only the loss of tourist dollars that prompted the Higgs government to repair the road. No other reason. He didn’t give a rats behind about the residents who live along that road.
Nope Higgy did it because the National Park was in PC territory
Many a true word is said in jest The roads on Crown land are smoother correct?
In my youth, those who opted to partake in camping, and campgrounds, were also prepared to rough it. The countryside differs substantially from the urban and suburban landscape.
Reply to Robert Brannen
In my youth, we never had RVs with tv.
Reply to MR Cain
In my youth we had neither RVs, nor tvs; however, by the time I had reached my teens there were those who were converting large, retired delivery vans into something they called "campers".
Reply to Robert Brannen
That is hardly an excuse for the Higgs government not to adequately invest in maintaining the province’s infrastructure. Just another example of this government abrogating its responsibilities.
Reply to Jim Lake
"Just another example of ...Gov't." .......
PC and Liberal.
Reply to Dianne MacPherson
I’m not disputing that of past governments … but I hold out hope that we will get a new government that governs for ALL New Brunswickers (something Higgs promised to do but has massively failed at) … I hold out hope that we can elect a premier that respects balanced governing and is able to be both fiscally and socially responsible and govern to improve the future for our province and all New Brunswickers. Without this hope, we are all lost.
I like the fact that the roads around my abode are rough It keeps the snobs away
Reply to Jim Lake
I am not defending any government, just pointing our the fact that it is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to decide how much risk he is willing to take on in operating his vehicle on the roadways of New Brunswick.
I concur
Reply to Jim Lake
Ya, tell all of the PS unions to lay off. Where do people think the money comes from. Funds for every desire are not unlimited. The future is here. Time to pay the piper for the last 40 years of vote buying. The funny part is the federal government will have to step in to run the province.
In general, it's very frustrating to have significant tax increases (property, fuel/carbon) but the road conditions are left to deteriorate and services are lacking.
There has been no repairs or ditching in my general area for 15 years; the bushes are over the road shoulder and water pooling is significant. I'm sure many others see this in their area, as well.
One year ago a heck of a forest fire started 2 hundred yards from my abode because NB power had been cutting corners for years Nobody would talk about it until I called into a live talk radio show like these folks did this morning
Quinn Castillo
Billions of dollars in fuel taxes are collected annually by different levels of government but most of the money isn’t used for road infrastructure where it is intended but ends up in general revenue.
Go Figure
Tourism is at the bottom of the list for the Higgs government. And don't expect the tourism minister to raise her voice on this concern. She needs the pay cheque too bad.
You should know

Re: "Obstructing of Justice Charges" should be very easy to prove so

Domestic wiretapping investigation Re: Attorney Robert Mueller was in
charge of the FBI,while my phones were unlawfully tapped into by the
Merrimack, New Hampshire Police, during the administration of George
W. Bush. What about that type of "felony" and the lies that James
Comey told the committee when he was interviewed about "wiretapping"
and lawless practices supported by the federal agencies and the law
officials in the State of N.H. and the Commonwealth of MA?
Director Mueller, along with Deputy Attorney General James B. Comey,
threatened to resign from office in March 2004 if the White House
overruled a Department of Justice finding that domestic wiretapping
without a court warrant was unconstitutional.[17] Attorney General
John D. Ashcroft denied his consent to attempts by White House Chief
of Staff Andrew Card and White House Counsel Alberto R. Gonzales to
waive the Justice Department ruling and permit the domestic
warrantless eavesdropping program to proceed. On March 12, 2004,
President George W. Bush gave his support to changes in the program
sufficient to satisfy the concerns of Mueller, Ashcroft and Comey.[

Ray Adlington named to CBA Board of Directors
May 2, 2017
Halifax partner Ray Adlington was recently named to the CBA Board of Directors.
In their announcement yesterday the CBA advised that the board would
come into effect September 1st, 2017.
After collecting extensive input over the past two years, we know
that CBA members believe it’s important for the organization to have a

Date: 20151223
Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.
At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
he stated:
As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.
In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard Bell”
Judge

Mr Jensen.
I believe my filing was clear in stating my wishes. Obviously my list
far less numerous than that of the CROWN'S.
I see no need to explain myself to you at this time other than to
explain that if the CROWN is successfaul in its malicious attempt to
dismiss and very legitmate complaint I will attempt to bring the
matter before the Supreme Court of Cnanda and I will need to argue the
Consitution etc.
Pursuant to the hearing on April 3rd. I ask again have you been in
touch with the RCMP or the FBI about the true copy of a Yankee wiretap
tape that has been in the docket of Federal Court since 2015 and
discussed by me with three judges of that court thus far?

Nude statues at jail B&B stir controversy in Dorchester
Online post about concrete sculptures sparks mostly negative comments, no official complaints
Bill Steele, who lives in a converted jail with human skulls, a coffin and many other macabre collectibles, is no stranger to controversy.
And he certainly doesn't shy away from it.
He's all about shock value.
"I do make a statement with everything that I do, and if I put it outside, it's for people to enjoy," said Steele, the owner of the Dorchester Jail Bed and Breakfast. "And if you're shocked by it, that's cool.
"I got all kinds of crazy stuff in there. I love it. I love buying weird stuff and having fun."
Facebook post launches debate
But Steele's latest purchase has caused a bit of a stir in Dorchester, a community in southeastern New Brunswick near Sackville and now part of the municipality of Tantramar.
Four concrete sculptures on his front lawn along the main drag in Dorchester depict naked women kneeling down with their arms raised and their hands on either side of their heads.
A resident's recent Facebook post on a Dorchester community page drew attention to the statues and began a flurry of more than 80 comments for and against, but mostly against. Commenting was closed on the post after only a few days.
Steele isn't sure what all the fuss is about. He said he's not offended by the statues and said that's what art is for — to promote discussion about individual interpretation.
"I don't think it's disrespectful," he said. "If anybody's sexualizing this, that's their problem, not mine. But if they see something a little bit more provocative, it creates that conversation, and I'm OK with that."
Nude statues raise eyebrows in small N.B. communityEven so, after hearing the "rumblings" from the community, he removed a fake ball and chain from one of the statues. He also bought tank tops to cover three of them.
"Yeah, I left one uncovered. Yeah, probably on purpose."
Steele said he researched other examples of nude artwork before putting "the girls," as he refers to them, on his lawn in front of the old jail building.
"It's just how everybody takes it. And I think this is acceptable and it's up to interpretation."
Rebecca Knockwood, chief of nearby Fort Folly Indian Reserve and one of many who commented on the post last month, disliked the display and said it brought about thoughts of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
"Every time I drive by there I keep thinking of the MMIWG … breaks my heart … and also trafficking of girls and women."

Knockwood did not respond to interview requests from CBC.
Others contacted by CBC declined to comment, citing concern over Steele's habit of fighting back against criticism.
Andrew Black, the mayor of the amalgamated community of Tantramar, said he is not aware of any complaints about the statues.
Embracing the macabre motif
Steele said he's always on the lookout for interesting additions to his collection of odd objects, ghoulish gizmos and movie memorabilia, including from O.J. Simpson.
He has fully embraced the theme of the property he purchased in 2017. After all, the place he now calls home was the scene of several executions, and the bodies are buried in the backyard.
Little is known about the history of the statues, which Steele found at an auction last year in Amherst, N.S. He bought 10 of them for $5 each.

He said he has no intention of removing them from his front lawn.
