After reading this article, I am going to do the very thing that the Woodstock Mayor Jones demanded that no one
do. I am going to call out the homophobia internet in many of her remarks. These comments are appalling. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

You know what's WACKO, Pierre Poilievre, billing taxpayers $837/hr for his expenses as an MP and opposition work, while average Canadians make $30/hr. He's no average Joe. Remember this come election time.

Does anyone have a total on the various lawsuits the Higgs Blaine Higgs government has launched since 2018? This sudden desire to suppress legal spending is ideologically interesting.

It seems that ⁦Blaine Higgs⁩ and his team are prepared to waste a lot of taxpayers' money, violating the rights of others and bullying people into agreement. Change is coming this fall. Vote for respect, something this government lacks. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

Canadians will suffer from greed-driven living costs until we look beyond the carbon tax distraction and demand fuller conversations. We need more political will, less theatre and rhetoric. Carbon tax is some of the story, not the whole story. cbc.ca/news/business/…

Is there truly a business case for more pipelines? Transmountain's $34 billion taxpayer subsidy raises questions. Scaling up to Energy East would cost $142 billion, four times the distance. Let's base our decisions on facts, not just slogans.

“It's 'highly likely' New Brunswick's plan to force some people with severe addiction into involuntary treatment will cause more harm than good, according to an ethics expert.” cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

Have you ever experienced the calm before sunrise? It's pure magic, especially in Arizona. This shot from SedonaAZ last year captures that beauty perfectly. The air's crisp, the scenery's jaw-dropping, and it's just so revitalizing. If you can, put Sedona on your travel list!

Today's speakers echoed passion for those lost, injured, & emphasized worker rights & safety. 14 lives lost this year in NB is 14 too many. Let's honor them by advocating for safer workplaces & standing up for workers' rights.

If Pierre Poilievre becomes PM, he pledges no inflation, everyone owning homes, zero crime, powerful paycheques, lower taxes and wiping out the deficit. He'll take full responsibility for everything, have a scandal-free government, and be globally admired.

Let's prioritize education and engagement on crucial issues, with a focus on social equity and active voting. But remember, candidates must offer concrete plans and timelines for improvement. Don't settle for vague promises.

What's clear is the disrespect that Blaine Higgs has for his colleagues, including democracy, and especially taxpayers. This premier would have screamed for resignation if he were in opposition. Instead, he passes along election costs to taxpayers and laughs about them.

Saddened to hear that @TownOfWoodstock has decided that they will not fly Acadian or Pride flags to celebrate our New Brunswick diversity and minorities.

Celebrating underrepresented NB minorities increases their visibility and diminishes no one.

This story warrants thorough investigation. Who led these agencies? What were their connections? Where did staff originate? Implications on healthcare workers, overtime, demand transparency & accountability. Citizens deserve answers.
