This is very disappointing @govnb.bsky.social : sologi.co/472Ia89 If early testing and diagnosis is the secret to the most frightening diseases, the labs should be the last place to find a bottleneck, no? Expand the labs so they can handle greater demand?

There are better models for postal delivery then what Canada has been overspending on.

@stephenmarche.bsky.social nails it: “The US ambassador is the person you send to a country to alienate it.” This week’s belligerent speeches prove him right. Listen here: sologi.co/4nnHD6P #USCanada

Saint John may some day soon need to do what Australia did during its Millennium Drought and plan for desalination from the Bay of Fundy, powered by renewables of course, to keep our water secure if/when dry conditions linger. What others have done: sologi.co/47SS4dC #climateaction #peoplecity

Wrote this for leaders who think silence is neutral. “If you’re not present, you’re at the mercy of anyone who chooses to tell your story for you." More than ever, your reputation is defined by others if you don’t define it. “If you had to tell your side of the story tomorrow, how would you do it?”

"We [USA] are no longer considered, by any group that studies democracy, a full democracy" - civil war expert @barbarafwalter.com Listen: sologi.co/3VLkUFo "~80% of whites vote Republican and that's in a country that is multi ethnic..." Only 20% of white Americans vote Democrat. ➗

I can't recommend this video strongly enough right now: sologi.co/4pm8ilB He looks like another talking head online, but this is a psychology, body language expert whose background is as a military interrogator. Everything he says here lines up and it's important. #polarization is deliberate.

"The price tag for a Chinese-made BYD Seagull, which has now surpassed Tesla as the world’s largest EV manufacturer, is around $13,800 — without the 100 per cent tariffs, or added costs like safety certification and shipping." Know of an #EV under $20,000 in Canada? $30,000? This would be huge.

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp. This is not a good company. Don't trust this company.

It’s an awkward time and not super well advertised, but if you can make it… I can’t but NBpower here’s my ask: build resilience by investing more in your transmission lines. They’re the origin story for most (if not all) of our outages here in SJ.

On Thursday, this week, have your say on NB's energy future. This is important. This impacts Saint John Energy and it impacts us all in NB.

I want to highlight that this is a centre-right journalist writing in the most mainstream newspaper in Canada asking: “Donald Trump is on the brink of becoming a dictator. Can he be stopped?”

This interview and this statement has been sitting heavy with me for days: "What do we need these poor people kicking around for? Let's just finish them off. Remove their support systems. What's the working title for that? Genocide of the poor.” - @margaretatwood.bsky.social sologi.co/3HZsOYr

Science has moved to Bluesky sologi.co/45HBzPZ "while Twitter was once the platform of choice for a majority of science communicators, those same people have since abandoned it in droves...Bluesky seems to be their new platform of choice."

Canadians aren't avoiding the United States because we're mad. We're avoiding the United States because we don't trust the authorities at the border. Journalists and politicians trying to "repair the relationship" are what? Stupid? Ignorant? Delusional?

Today America is sending the Putin they voted for to meet the Putin no one voted for to scheme away the future of a democratic nation that Canada is allied with. Americans content with this disaster are not our friends.

How does no one down there know the answers to questions like these? I think everyone knows the answers. Say it out loud. Someone. #dumbfounded

Agreed. Parking mandates force developers to build more parking spaces than needed, wasting land, increasing construction costs, and ultimately making housing and businesses more expensive. Ending parking mandates is good for small business.

🚨 Saint John, NB: Why pass laws forcing every home to finance parking for SUVs & pickups nobody needs? It’s nonsense, as demonstrated by Denver. Stop making housing costlier for a myth that everyone drives. Homes > parking spots. #PeopleOverParking #SaintJohnNB 🏠🚗❌

Nova Scotia’s on track for its GHG targets—a massive feat from tough beginnings. NB had the head start, yet we’re still stuck wringing our hands over a dysfunctional utility that needs a hard HARD reset. Real progress deserves applause. 👏 Learn more: sologi.co/47koixZ

Canada’s new softwood lumber policy is another step that will mean less access and higher prices for U.S. buyers: sologi.co/3UAMK6V As America makes us less welcome, we get more independent—less vulnerable to a neighbour that likes to bully. #cdnpoli

Happy New Brunswick Day! 🎉🇨🇦 #pdc #shediac 🦞

"lower speed limits and smart design" Hold on a second, drivers aren't responsible for either of those two things. Before you blame users for how they use a road, take a close look at how the builders of the road designed it to operate. #safedesign #peoplecity

Electric vehicles might not save the planet, but the switch to electric vehicles improves air quality in our own community with each switch. #ev #evs

This is a powerful chronicle of one nation's energy transition, a country that shares Canada's current disdain for reliance on the unreliable "United" States: sologi.co/45oRNNC

"...these projects get characterized too much as a cycling-only project...what you're doing is you're reducing the number of conflict points for drivers, reducing the crossing distance for pedestrians and increasing sight-line visibility for everyone. Six lanes never made sense." sologi.co/mainst

Logic wins! Thanks to #SJCouncil for pushing for this long-asked-for upgrade, and thanks to @nickcamsj.bsky.social for pointing out the logic.

Great move by Health Canada. This will have a positive impact. "Front-of-the-package labelling is needed if the product exceeds 15 per cent of the recommended daily intake of those ingredients."

They're literally going to help you to permanently lower your electricity usage and your bill.

New Brunswick has what the world wants and we make great neighbours. At today's meeting with the New England Governors and Eastern Premiers, we echoed the call for Americans to join in ending tariffs.

I don't have anything against nuclear, but, if we were a poorer province than most, which of these two technologies should be at the centre of our energy conversation right now?

"Seventy-five cents of every (Canadian) dollar of capital spending for defence goes to the United States. That's not smart" - Carney sologi.co/43wsnM0

We drive Main Street a dozen times daily, and here's what drivers passing through don't want to hear: even with construction removing vehicle lanes for bikes/walking, we're not slowed down at all. Fewer lanes = better flow. We locals are living proof road diets work. #peoplecity #SaintJohn #sjnb

"...it’s time we took back the social web in a sane and ethical way, and protect future generations of kids, parents, and all Canadians from disinformation and hate."

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

My latest: We wasted 60 years indulging secessionist fantasies in Quebec. Must we make the same mistake in Alberta? www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

This is the shockwave. Consumption is America’s true power projection. Canada will feel it—but we’re charting a more stable course.

Until petroleum is over or made completely clean (as if), prioritize our product. National energy asset > multi-prov sacred cow. #Electricity ascendant, O&G declining. Both need gov stewardship for Canadians' future.
