I met someone in the dog park in the fall of 2023, who moved to NB from Kelowna on advice of his doctor because of the #WildfireSmoke. We saw a lot of people move here during Covid... will we see more interprovincial migration due to #ClimateChange? I think yes. How can we prepare? #NewBrunswick

I’m not ready for this again… firesmoke.ca/forecasts/cu... #Ecoanxiety #ClimateChange #WildfireSmoke

The unhoused and poverty situation in Fredericton is heartbreaking, with so much pain and systemic failures. It’s also showing the worst side of the community, with judgement, ridicule, and lack of empathy permeating FB groups. Do better.

Yup. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Kindness and the building industry. Does the lack of kindness, the distrust and hostility, push people out? Anecdotally, people on both sides of the pond say yes. Lead with kindness and you get the best out of people. I will never understand any other way… #Design #Buildings #Architecture

I want to understand how this happened. Beyond supply and demand. Because it’s more than that. Plus, what does the future hold? #Fredericton #Housing

Can we talk about the fact that new homeowners, you know the young millennials and Gen Zers, have been almost completely priced out of the #Fredericton single family #home market? Six years ago, in my neighbourhood, there was a mix of price points. Now? Nothing <$400k. This is a problem. #Housing

A great write-up in The Saturday Paper of a big new report from Greenpeace Australia Pacific which I led. It is heartening how seriously our warning has been taken, and how a whole bunch of stories that have come out in the days since we published just completely vindicated everything we've said :)

You know what heritage has a longer history than horse racing in #Fredericton? Education. We have the oldest post-secondary in Canada, the oldest engineering school in Canada, and FHS is the oldest english speaking HS (institution, not building) in Canada. Our kids deserve that space for a new MS.

‘The story of a child who died in slow motion’ | CBC News

Social Development was asked to intervene 15 times, by educators, health-care workers and even the police before a young person formerly in government care died of an overdose.

The western premiers conference… saw the spicy snippets, watching it all now. Premier Kinew is amazing.

Speaking at her last council meeting on Monday, Mayor Kate Rogers appeared proud of the progress made on the redevelopment in recent months. "I want a school there. And you know what? It's gonna happen," Rogers said. ...Kate Rogers should be proud! #Fredericton www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Progress on new Fredericton school means horses must leave Exhibition Grounds | CBC News

The clock is ticking for new homes to be found for about 30 horses stabled at a property near downtown Fredericton that is set to accommodate a new school.

There is a property listed in #Fredericton for almost $1M that is assessed (2026) at under $490,000. I get they don't line up but 2x the assessed value? Come on. Tell me #housing isn't broken here... PS... oh and it's assessed value? Went down in 2026 from 2025.

Nothing I care more about in Freddy right now than getting the GSMS replacement situated at the NBEX grounds... (a better active transportation network is a close second, followed by the redevelopment of Kings Place and the pedestrianization of King Street. Devon MS redev is up there, too).

I am SO in favour of this… Build the much needed: - middle school - mixed typology housing - fieldhouse - playing fields Build what our community needs, now and for the future. Imagine this site… kids, trees, homes... #Fredericton pub-fredericton.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx...

Our first-in-the-nation Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office is just one step in the ongoing work to build a future where all our communities are safe.

I can't tell where the mayoral candidates stand on a middle school located at the the NBEX grounds... anyone know? #Fredericton #NBPoli

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

I don’t understand why kids having a healthy/new school that they can roll/walk to isn’t a priority for all. GSMS is 100 years old. The province made mistakes and didn’t retain/buy urban land, the lack of forecasting is pretty 👎. But we have an opportunity to clean up a super under-utilized site…

#Biked downtown with my youngest... and now to get from downtown to the YMCA safely... I really wish the #ActiveTransportation network in the city was better and more inclusive on the southside...

I desperately need all the details on this, immediately.

George St Middle School isn’t aging (well, everythg is aging). It’s aged. Done. Like needed replacement years ago. Probably when I went there in the late 90s. We need a new urban middle school on the south side asap.

Great to see Canada’s continued commitment to nature conservation with @mark-carney.bsky.social’s announcement of a $3.8 billion plan including for new national parks & marine conservation areas conserved areas - an important step to the goal of protecting 30% of lands & waters by 2030!

Canada’s natural beauty is central to our history, our identity, and our way of life — and we’re going to protect it.

"investors in Canadian oil and gas will face serious financial risk—and provincial revenues from the industry could fall by as much as 82%—as the global energy transition unfolds through the 2030s"

An Energy War is Raging. The Last Thing Canada Needs is More Fossil Fuel Production.

The Middle East war is the excuse du jour for new oil and gas exports. But with the energy shock driving importing countries to ditch fossil fuels, Canada must prepare for the industry's decline.

One of the biggest issues with our healthcare here, besides the lack primary care, is the lack of evenings/weekends non-urgent walk-in care. If we want to reduce ER load, provide other options. Pediatric after hours, eldercare after hours, etc, normal walk in clinics. What went so wrong here?

A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

#Fredericton where do people go for after hours (not emerg) care on the weekends? Suspected ear infection…. Anywhere for help?
