End of an Era in Tantramar with Mike Tower and Bruce Phinney Both Voted Out This Year

 More here with Bruce Wark at "New Wark Times" with election 2026 results in the region:

Debbie Wiggins-Colwell is Tantramar’s new mayor as voters turn to several fresh faces |

The earlier group shown above from left to right... 

Bruce Phinney, Bill Evans, Ron Aikens, Mike Tower, Shawn Mesheau, back row,

Marg T. King, Mayor Bob Berry, and Joyce McNeil, front row...

of that original group only Bruce Phinney & Mike Tower would remember the youth presenting in the Town Hall .. neither of them were re-elected this year.. Bob Berry passed away.. as did Ron Corbett... this group shown above did nothing to advance this project.. but perhaps the newly elected and very popular Town Councillor Ward 3 Tori Weldon will be able to ignite some forward motion on this project as she is raising two teenagers who are skateboarding youth here.



If Mount Allison University can continue to receive many millions of dollars for their on campus renovations surely our Tantramar budget can be stretched for a new concrete skatepark project now?





Ethically Challenged Josh Goguen re-elected as Ward 3 Town Councillor in 2026?

 

New Mayor is Debbie Wiggins-Colwell beating out Sabine Dietz and Terry Jones in the race.


Surprisingly, after the latest N.B. election May 11, 2026 Tantramar saw Josh Goguen voted back in as Town Councillor for Ward 3 despite his admission he has been running a secret Facebook group online for years...

with a group that large its a wonder he has any time to do his regular job at Moneris, his Scout leader work, and his Town Councillor for $2000 per month.. as well as husband and father of a teen son.

So these are ethical questions that no one seems to have any oversight over or want to address here in Tantramar.

Problematic.

Tantramar council dismisses complaint over ‘hostile’ Facebook posts |

“Out of an abundance of caution, to avoid any confusion between my role as a councillor and informal online spaces, I’ve posted a notice on this affected page stepping back as an admin and moderator.”


How about removing yourself entirely from this group Josh Goguen?  Its a bad look for an elected official to lurk around in private groups online... or did you miss the lesson in ethics?

I think you did.
