And it's wheelchair accessible, so designed with disabled people in mind.

Happy Friday to literally everyone except the lady next door who absolutely just lays on her horn multiple times a day to announce her presence

"The mayor of Saint John, Donna Reardon, has said she supports saving individual old trees, but declined an interview request for this story." thenarwhal.ca/lorneville-a...

Wow who would have thought laying off half the government and giving billions of taxpayer dollars to industry could lead to recession www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/eco...

In NB @susanholtnb.bsky.social could have done this when she became Premier of New Brunswick. Instead she gave massive corporate welfare to billionaire corporations like Irving & Agropur while privatizing farm veterinary services, public parks, public universities, and cutting school librarians.

So about that data center in Lorneville…be good to see ONB/GNB math on jobs and economic spin-off. Kevin O’Leary’s data-centre project guru says the Wonder Valley Utah project will create thousands fewer construction jobs than O’Leary said it would. #nbpoli www.businessinsider.com/kevin-oleary...

Are we sure it wasn’t just yet another passenger abandoned by air canada at a random airport in the middle of the night… ? It’s happened to me enough times that it seems to be standard operating procedures at this point…

Well I think we’ve all learned a valuable lesson today: old white men always get re-elected

Me watching the city council votes rolling in

Can’t believe the datawazo dashboard is so outdated SMH 🤣

Well at least we’re not getting maple maga or the functionally illiterate guy for mayor in SJ. Small wins I guess even tho nobody’s thrilled with any of the options

You guys we’re supposed to vote OUT the data centre lovers not re-elect them SMH

This election would be going so much differently if we had proportional representation imo

🗳️ when you’re at the ballot box today, remember that we don’t vote for people who vote for data centres!! #saintjohn #lorneville #datacentres

Imagine talking about any other public service this way. Does the government keep public hospitals “afloat”? What about when it gave Marine Atlantic $169 million to support its operations in 24/25? The media does the bidding of those who want to private Canada Post when they adopt this framing.

Everyone’s freaking out about hantavirus and I have way too much shit going on to deal with this right now; have tentatively scheduled this in to worry about in 2028

If a public college can have a deficit, what about a public road or public bridge? Does the MacDonald Bridge have a deficit now given that tolls no longer provide revenue?

Don’t vote for city councillors who vote for data centres! Saint John, we have an election coming up next Monday: vote them out! #datacentre #lorneville

FINALLY Lucy Watson has been fired from the NDP

The traditional detour & complete abandonment of passengers by air Canada in the middle of the night ✌️

Vassy Kapelos: What if [a windfall profits tax on big oil] deflates them? NDP leader Avi Lewis: Tell the family where 1 in 4 Canadians is skipping a meal .. to feed their kids, that an industry making $90B in profits this year can’t afford to pay a little bit more. I’m sorry I just don’t accept it.

Carney government issues new oil and gas subsidies in spring mini-budget Norways $2.2 trillion dollar national wealth fund was built from taxes on the petroleum sector, licensing fees, and profits from the state energy company... ...the opposite of Carney's plan. #cdnpoli #canada shorturl.at/NKSSR

*shocked pikachu face*

Get ready to lose your job on election day #SaintJohn city council incumbents, cuz residents are Big Mad 😏

Excellent. When my dad was still alive, I’d have to spend hours of any visit trying to cancel one service or another that he really didn’t want but couldn’t cancel. He got so worked up about it that sometimes he couldn’t sleep. He was almost deaf and blind and could never understand the reps.

This is such a depressing city council race #SaintJohn

When will Canada join the digital sovereignty movement?! The time is now to reduce our reliance on US tech imperialism ✊

Great article by @nolore.bsky.social this morning Couldn’t have said it better myself! noraloreto.substack.com/p/dismantlin...

CBC once again shits the bed on the headline & buries the lede. Zero fact checking and just regurgitating the company’s press release. A+ journalism over there guys www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Did you know that the federal gov’t itself commissioned a consultation on surveillance pricing and found experts overwhelming find it to be anticompetitive and predatory? If we had actual journalism in this country they would be reporting on this! competition-bureau.canada.ca/en/how-we-fo...

Cough @susanholtnb.bsky.social Cough

I desperately need all the details on this, immediately.

You know what would really help?? Building a giant data centre in our backyard. What could possibly go wrong? #lorneville #datacentre www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Last week, @policyalternatives.ca put together an urgent call for Canada to tax the profits that the oil and gas industry is making off the war in Iran. Yesterday, the best Carney could do was removing tax on average people, further defunding the state. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

How exciting!! I hope he announces a new time-bound means-tested tax credit for large corporations that might theoretically trickle down some economic benefits someday

Anyone want to take bets on what this long awaited tax reform will include?

I think this is brilliant, especially if these nurses are still getting benefits/pension, etc. Keeps healthcare staff in the public system & allows staffing to be allocated where needed.

The digital sovereignty revolution has officially begun!!! Once this Pandora’s box is opened, there’s no closing it. thenextweb.com/news/france-...

Well, this isn't good news at all. Might be time to rescind all those sweetheart property tax deals with the Irvings. #nbpoli #debt N.B. News: Moody’s issues warning about province's finances share.google/SKQnAZckMPdA...

@susanholtnb.bsky.social are there any current plans to scrap the car safety (MVI) program in NB? During a cost of living crisis, people cannot afford unnecessary repairs to cars Most studies fail to find causal evidence that inspections make our streets safer: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

“It digs into this massive data center boom we’ve been seeing in recent years, what’s driving it, and what the wider effects have been on communities and beyond” Can’t wait to buy a copy for every single one of my city councillors who unanimously voted for the Spruce Lake data centre in Lorneville!

There isn’t a single person currently registered that I’d be interested in voting for in the upcoming municipal election. Not a single one, in my ward or any other. www1.gnb.ca/Elections/en...

My daughter who works here in town and my son in the stroller who's a teenager now, in 2013. DTIs forever Harbour bridge project and disrespect/disregard for people who rely on Harbour passage has had multi-generational impacts on our neighbourhood. #disrespect #mobility #fracturedCity #peoplecity

Sad day for democracy in Canada: the Supreme Court has declined to hear @charterchallenge.bsky.social case for proportional representation in Canada.

In case you missed it, Utrecht, Netherlands has begun building the largest Dutch “car-free” neighbourhood. 12K people 6K homes 1.8K social rental homes 1.5 mid-range rental & affordable owner-occupied homes 21.5K bike parking spaces 250 shared cars 2 parcel hubs Parking structures on the edge.

I haven’t decided what I think of @avilewis.ca in general, but he’s right on Canada Post being treated as a public service rather than a profit business. This is also true of other public services like national rail transportation and urban public transit. ALL politicians need to get this right.

Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."

Nothing says “sovereignty” like cutting vital publicly run transportation infrastructure! That’ll show the Americans how independent we are!!
