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.

Bobby should not have died. This is a massive failure. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

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/...

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!

"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." - 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?

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. #WishMeLuckInTheAM

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

This webinar examines design choices shaped by a young family’s priorities, including accessibility, material safety, and long-term adaptability. The session will present findings from 14 months of indoor environmental monitoring and analysis. 🕒️ - 10th March, 6-7:30pm 🔗 - seda.scot/webinar-acce...

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...

About time this gets reported… no place for that anywhere. www.outsports.com/2026/2/20/24...

“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.”

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… 😁

This is really sad... we actually need to test and fix the environments we are living, working, and playing in... cbc.ca/news/health/radon-gas-cancer-screenings-9.7058488

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?

This is pretty sad. When Freddy had ZERO options for walk-ins during Covid, Minto welcomed so many of us... no glares, no questions, just care. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Sadly, so many people (especially when the value is on short term gains over long term ones) don't tend to act on climate without regulations… This is an economist showing a lack of human understanding. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

<< First reading dies, then knowledge, and then science. It is the “Dis-enlightenment” >> t.co/JHjbJ0cfpk

I really wish someone in the media would flip this around: "Group dashes community hopes to replace 100 year old middle school - with no ventilation or fields - in only remaining central location." Look at it from the perspective of students and staff who are waiting on a much needed new school.

What do you think... will centre left Liberals cross over to the NDP or Greens?

spot on ⬇️

Our community deserves a middle school at the NBEX grounds. Figure it out, please? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It’s frustrating to watch interviews like the one between the @thedailyshow.com’s Jon Stewart & @elizkolbert.bsky.social tonight, suggesting we don’t know the solutions to the #ClimateCrisis, & better solutions aren’t “politically viable.” WE KNOW THE SOLUTIONS, AND ONLY CORRUPTION MAKES THEM HARD.

We need more of this in Canada atm…. Toronto, Vancouver, see what NYC is doing?!
