Grade 9 Shop Class Northern Ontario student built 2013... teaching youth to work with their hands.
We happily teach the art of the grift.. not the art of building and working for a living so.. that's the problem in our society in 2026.. we enable people to be non-achievers.. and just "take" grants. . . but really why is that? Something about the soft bigotry of low expectations... "neurodivergent" doesn't mean anything.. but.. if they were actually given some real skills in schools they could easily find work and purpose.. instead, they are treated like perpetual babies.
Quote by local found on Facebook:
"Shawn Mitten
"A rent cap is just going to squeeze out, average joe landlord that has an extra property or two and resides in the community. When the interest rates rise he’ll have to sell it to the big holding companies and investors like sunset.
I have never seen a society so hell bent on destroying themselves to appease the wealthy. The underlying factors behind are being caused by the federal government. If you can see how the Irving’s corrupted NB in a short time, surely you must realize that it’s all corrupt?"
Donations - grants - free labour volunteers - and so much more ...

The cast of characters at the farm these days features "community builder" Julia Feltham facilitator / career grifter / communitarian who has been a farm supporter and "incubator" of "social entrepreneurs" [grifters] as well as "fellow" at "WeavEast" .. "social enterprise" is about moochers looking for free money... because their hobbies and projects are more important than the rest of us.. they're just better people with the best intentions and only do good for our communities.. got it yet?
