Today I am taking the train from McAdam to St Stephen for @chco-tv.bsky.social a rare opportunity for passengers to travel on the historic rail line.

Last time I was on a passenger train in New Brunswick was Fall of 1990. From Fredericton Junction to Ontario where I went to broadcasting school. Used VIA regularly between Toronto and Montreal to go to hockey games and a concert and it was inexpensive. Wish Atlantic Canada had passenger service.

I do think it’s important that we draw the distinction between “feeling unsafe” and “being unsafe” because these are two very different things.

Believe me, I’m no lover of Donna (esp after lorneville vote & her rude attitude towards residents during the hearings), but I just don’t think being a nice guy who cares a lot is enough to qualify someone to be a good mayor

I’ve seen his recent comments walking back his position but tbh I don’t agree he’d be a better mayor. He still voted for it, and his recent comments against the centre have been lukewarm from what I’ve seen. Also, he can barely string a sentence together?

Barry voted for the lorneville data centre, did he not ? Unclear how things would be any different, data centre-wise, with him as mayor?

Emily St. John Mandel’s “Exit Party” will be released next week and I was able to read a NetGalley eARC in advance. IMO, it is the *best* literary science fiction novel of the year. Due to a failed science experiment, individuals are transported to a universe where the United States have collapsed

I’m fascinated to see where the Conservative Party goes now that they’ve been outflanked on the right by the liberals. Maybe conservatives are poised to become the new centrist party? Crumble entirely & try to rebrand? Go extreme right?

The story keeps being written: we learned yesterday that the medical society wants to be paid for prescription renewals under Virtual Care NB. Holt Government did not merely replace a platform. It replaced an operating model & appears to have understood the model only after turning it off. #nbpoli

Data centers should be charged 2-3x the rate for electricity, and residents should be charged greatly reduced rates wherever they exist. Data centers must be zoned outside of all residential and public commerce areas and subject to all environmental impact report requirements & regulations.

That’s my fear, that we are becoming a two-tiered pay-to-play province with privatized healthcare encroaching. Even though I’m morally opposed I can’t say it’s not tempting to pursue though.

This is not access to healthcare! This is “triage theatre” (Great term @thomjeff.bsky.social & exactly right to describe this “service”!)

Virtual Care NB sounds good on paper: connected, guided, integrated. But if there is no doc to see, no clinic appointment, no alternative to an overcrowded ER, what exactly is it connecting people to? That is not access. That is triage theatre. #nbpoli thomjeffwrites.substack.com

Julienne Danvers (WE WANT TRAINS!! 🚂) @juliennedanvers.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

From what I hear, the new Virtual Care NB “service” basically just roadblocks patients or tells them to go to a walk-in clinic or the ER. Well done to the NB gov’t, taking a bandaid service that worked pretty well and gutting it while clogging up ERs and leaving patients stranded.

Getting routine preventative healthcare should not be this hard. There’s virtually no information online, everywhere you turn is a roadblock. And I would consider myself to have high health literacy & good health. Not everyone has these privileges!
