    I don’t know anything about New Brunswick but according to Wikipedia, “A powerful corporate concentration of large companies in New Brunswick is owned by the Irving Group of Companies.”

    They own all types of companies, most of them heavy industry with lots of pollution, but also lots of media outlets. And also:

    “In 2016, the National Observer released an eight-part investigation on the family called House of Irving. It looked at many parts of the businesses including the expansion into Maine, its media monopoly, how they intimidate their critics and issues within the family.“

    I’m no Scooby Doo but I think that’s where I’d start my investigation.

      Oh it’s no secret to anyone in the maritimes that the Irvings own NB. On reddit people described being contracted to build their bunker.

      I think they’re waiting to be eaten.
