“Frankly, some people in their public lives are interested in seeing how close they can get to the [electrified] fence, and that generally doesn’t work out well for them.”

Older adults with moderate to severe hearing loss have higher odds of developing dementia and are more likely to experience social isolation—also linked to increased risk. Findings highlight the need to consider how these factors interact:

? Sure, us locals are having fun finding the gobs of misinformation, but it will do real damage to NB tourism if anyone else actually relies on it. It seems there was 0 product testing by THC. Unreal.

While a shock to those involved, this is the type of thing we need more of. If 8/10 provinces don’t provide these services through public sector, why must NB? A 3 year transition should allow for sensible privatization.

Ugh - what an ugly modernization. I’m all for mixing it up and exploring our history in this space. But replacing two grand, colourful paintings with a couple of boring composites is an awful choice aesthetically. Call the Art Bank please!

Keep living under the fantasy that we ‘voted against a majority government’. That ain’t how it works. The official opposition is tone-deaf and out of sync. Fix that before blaming us.
