But when she arrived at town hall, council was already in a closed, in camera session that had started at 6pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kardash waited for the closed session to end, and at about 6:40pm, while council was in recess, asked town clerk Donna Beal to take her name down to speak at the upcoming public session. Kardash says Beal refused her request based on the fact that council had already approved the agenda for the session, shortly after 6pm, and shortly before council closed its doors to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a gallery full of about 40 Sackville Ceasefire Now supporters\u2014who had just made their way to town hall after a gathering in Bill Johnstone Park\u2014Kardash got up to address council as she had planned, during the public presentations section of the meeting. As Kardash started to speak, she was immediately shut down by Mayor Andrew Black, who proceeded to put the meeting into recess, and leave the room, along with four other councillors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s an edited audio clip of what the incident sounded like from inside council chambers. This audio features a recording from the town hall audio system, and then the tail end of Sarah Kardash&#8217;s speech recorded in the room, after the sound system was turned off:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Clips-from-councl-March-12-2024.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mayor and councillors Josh Goguen, Barry Hicks, Matt Estabrooks, and Greg Martin all got up and left council chambers for about five minutes, while members of Sackville Ceasefire Now stood in the gallery with their backs to council, an act meant to symbolize the lack of response the coalition has received from their municipal representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Councillor Debbie Wiggins Colwell was not present at the meeting, and Councillors Allison Butcher, Bruce Phinney and Michael Tower remained seated and did not leave council chambers during the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"698\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-12-at-10.08.17-PM-1280x698.png\" alt=\"A council chambers with a number of people in white t-shirt facing the camera, and away from the council table, where many of the seats are empty.\" class=\"wp-image-41897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-12-at-10.08.17-PM-1280x698.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-12-at-10.08.17-PM-768x419.png 768w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-12-at-10.08.17-PM-1536x838.png 1536w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tantramar council meeting Tuesday, March 10, after Mayor Andrew Black and many councillors left the room, and Sackville Ceasefire Now members in the gallery turned their backs on council.  Image: Youtube screencap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After several minutes, Sackville Ceasefire Now members filed out, and Mayor and councillors returned to their seats and restarted the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sarah Kardash told reporters outside that she had intended to ask council to endorse a letter to federal leaders asking for concrete action on an end to violence in Gaza, something that Sackville Ceasefire Now has asked previously. In January, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/petition-calls-on-council-to-join-other-municipalities-in-asking-for-federal-action-on-ceasefire-in-gaza\/\">the group presented a petition<\/a> signed by 253 people asking for a similar resolution from council. She said the group has heard from three councillors in response, but not from any others or the Mayor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re sick by the fact that they are really not engaging with us,\u201d said Kardash. \u201cWe had one comment from Councillor Butcher. We have never had a question [at council]. They haven&#8217;t discussed it in council, they haven&#8217;t debated it. They just sit there, staring at us with blank faces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kardash says the group has been making repeated attempts to engage with council processes, but, \u201cwe&#8217;re met with deafening silence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Tuesday\u2019s meeting Mayor Black acknowledged that no councillors have put forward a motion regarding the group\u2019s request. \u201cNobody has been willing to make that notice of motion,\u201d said Black. \u201cSo for me, if I was in that ceasefire group, I would think that that would mean that there&#8217;s no interest to pursue it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018A fine technical point\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kardash said the decision to deny her a spot during the public presentations section of the meeting was over \u201ca fine technical point.&#8221; Black said the decision simply adhered to Tantramar\u2019s procedural by-law, put in place by provincial consultant Chad Peters during local government reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe procedural by-law says that you have to show up before the council meeting starts,\u201d Black told CHMA. \u201cThe council meeting started at six. They showed up at seven\u2026 So the council meeting had already started. We were in recess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/sackville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/By-law-No.-3-Procedural-REV-FINAL-FOR-SIGNATURE.pdf\">text of the procedural bylaw<\/a> includes just a short paragraph on how to sign up for a two-minute council presentation, which does not seem to specify at what point names can be added to the presentation list. It reads: \u201cIndividuals or groups wishing to address Council by appearing at the meeting with no previous registration should sign in at the door and will be called in the order they register.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At past sessions of council where additional public presenters have been added, meeting agendas were approved by council without any modification to reflect the new presenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kardash says she feels the coalition has made every effort to follow council procedures, and she feels council has a duty to at least discuss and consider the coalition\u2019s request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll we&#8217;re asking is for this council to help raise our voices,\u201d said Kardash. \u201cOver 200 people signed our petition, over 250 people came out to our rally in November, we&#8217;ve had approximately 50 people showing up to our vigils at the council meetings every month. What more do we have to do to convince this council that this issue is an important one to residents in this town?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kardash addresses concerns over anti-Semitism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a previous presentation to council, a Sackville resident expressed concern with the rise of anti-Semitic acts in the country, and told council she was alarmed by chants during a Sackville Ceasefire Now rally late last year. CHMA asked Kardash how she might respond to similar concerns that Tantramar councillors might have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have been very explicit in all of our events, vigils, rallies, and communications,\u201d says Kardash, \u201cthat we fundamentally oppose anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and racism of all kinds.\u201d Kardash says she has not witnessed anything anti-Semitic at a Sackville Ceasefire Now event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI myself am Jewish, and I&#8217;m a member of Sackville Ceasefire Now, calling for a ceasefire,&#8221; said Kardash. &#8220;There are many, many Jews of conscience who are raising their voices and insisting that criticism of Israel, that anti-Zionism, is not anti-Semitism.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To explain her devotion to a ceasefire, Kardash cited the mounting death toll in Gaza, which according to reports from the Gaza Health Ministry now exceed 30,000. \u201cPeople are starving to death. Children are starving to death,\u201d says Kardash. \u201cWhen I see these images of children in Gaza who are starving, it makes me think of the images that I saw in my Jewish education that I had as a child, when we were watching films about the Holocaust, and saw what was happening to Jews and others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo think that calling for an end to this kind of violence and suffering could be anti-Semitic,\u201d said Kardash. \u201dNo, it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tantramar Council chambers erupted in conflict Tuesday evening, after a resident who was denied the right to present to council on a technicality got up to the podium and asked [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":41897,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[472,492,482,558],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-daily-news","category-front-page","category-weekly"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Black suspends meeting after Sackville Ceasefire Now member tries to address council &#187;
