#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.
It also needs a field house. The lack of third places for kids (and adults that doesn’t involve alcohol) in this city is pretty limited, esp later in the evening. Go to the NMS field house on a Friday PM and it’s hopping.
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!
"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"
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."

#Fredericton where do people go for after hours (not emerg) care on the weekends? Suspected ear infection…. Anywhere for help?
The Paralympics should be before the Olympics.
Ooohhh… this would be an interesting analysis in NB…
... getting a bit tired of the state of the #education system here. What's the fix? A huge influx of $$$? Kids are bored in school, kids need extra support in school, our test scores are horrendous, teachers are burnt out. No one is winning with the current system.
#NewBrunswick #NBPoli
This is... THE hardest day of the year for kids. Put March break AFTER the time change in NB, please?
#NewBrunswick #DaylightSavings
Bedtime fun… why is NB’s #MarchBreak the week BEFORE the clocks change? our maritime neighbours have it in the correct order.

Wait I know someone who is a privileged grifter and full of BS. ⬇️
Same!

I had a meeting downtown tonight that went until after 8 PM. I would have done almost anything for a cafe to have been open to decompress and just chill for a bit. Where are the late night places that aren't bars/pubs? Miss the days of Reads...
Think the actually super cool premier of Manitoba started the trend…

“Smith’s address last night is worse than advocacy for separatism. It’s an agenda to destroy Canadian federalism from within. To rely on stoking fear and xenophobia, to attack society’s most vulnerable, to dismantle the grand bargains that make Canada the best country in the world.”
*Important* At the Senate on Tuesday, the President summarized the Province's plan to cut University funding across the province by 10%. This is nuclear, amounting to ~50M divided among the four universities. (While Irving pulp and paper is to get +45M for tariff relief.) But it is not yet a done deal. All university and union presidents are responding firmly. Please write to your MLA asap. There is not much time.
Dear Hon. Susan Holt, It has come to my attention that the budget for universities in the province may be cut by $50 million. I am writing to plead with you to reconsider. New Brunswick universities like the University of New Brunswick--recently ranked tops in Atlantic Canada and 14th in the country ahead of Western and Ottawa by TIME Magazine--serve a vital role educating the young people of this province. Our constituency is our own children. These proposed cuts would have a catastrophic impact on institutions that quite frankly require more public investment not less. This would be an incredibly short-sighted decision, with devastating long-term impacts. I hope New Brunswick can count on you to reconsider and put its young people first, ahead of corporate interests. Many thanks, Nathan Kalman-Lamb Associate Professor of Sociology, University of New Brunswick
Catastrophic higher education news in New Brunswick: the Liberal government of my MLA @susanholtnb.bsky.social is potentially going to cut 10% of the budget for universities—$50M across 4 schools when much *more* funding is needed, not less.
The impact would be devastating.
Please share, NBers.
Ok. Why doesn't #NewBrunswick have a wellness tax credit like PEI? $1,000?!
Yikes in a city that is pushing density + multi-unit residential bldgs as much as #Fredericton is, not having #recycling in all apartments sorted before removing the community bins is a pretty big fail? People who want to recycle should have an option, it shouldn’t be up to a landlord’s compliance.
I love Green Day so much and I’m so very happy they performed‘American Idiot’ because, well…you know… 😁
same!!! And I would love it at the NBEX grounds… pool complex like they do in the west, too.
This is really sad... we actually need to test and fix the environments we are living, working, and playing in...

I am so done with being mansplained to. And I think it’s getting worse.
Did you all hear about this $3 meal the Secretary of Agriculture recommended?
