This squad certainly isn't as fun as the Expos, or the 92-93 Jays. They are fun however. I'm late to this bandwagon, but I really want them to win. They can even visit Rideau Hall for the LOLs #worldseries

I think it is in fact May 2026, it was pushed back a year because of muni reforms I think. The extra year was one of the reasons why the St Andrews mayor stepped aside early

As it often does, the important historic journal Acadiensis has an essay that reminds us of the amount of federal involvement on the matter of Mactaquac www.erudit.org/en/journals/...

what is not talked about enough is how so so so much of this infrastructure came with significant federal investment. Even if we are about to enter a new era of building things etc etc I am not sure as much federal $$ will be coming

Mark Carney used that stolen wifi to send a mass email invite to next year's Davos economic forum, downplaying the horrible logistics of regional airfare these days

In this turbulent world glad to see some good news. The Canada Games are returning to New Brunswick! Kudos to all involved in organizing the SJ-Moncton bid. Now to bring back Fiddle Edd!

I am told she has ties to the Kingston Peninsula somehow, but she has been working for an ON trades association. She has ties to the NB trades for sure, but I've never met her in my local travels (and I've met a lot of union folks) www.votemelissa.ca

I should add that 'home neighbourhood' means neighbourhood of his youth. Wayne lives in the new riding now, but I don't know if that is the case with the appointed Tory. I heard she lives on Kingston Peninsula, but I guess electionsCda docs will print official residence

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

I think the newspaper did a quick analysis when the ridings were first redrawn. Here in SJ, one of the reasons why Wayne Long pondered retirement (aside from disagreements with JT) was he was losing a natural voting base in the west side, his home neighbourhood. He'll still likely win w KV added

To be honest I am open to better separation of capital and operating budgets but it’s sort of just an accounting wrinkle in the end

If PM Carney placed a Canada Flag on John Turner’s grave as a campaign stop he would win 250 seats because of elbows up etc etc

This is a lot more nuanced and less schtick-y than the first take. Still, Mike Myers comes across as quite earnest - who would have thunk that celeb endorsements (a very unCanadian thing, I might add) would have some traction?

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

I think SJ-St Croix may be closer than we think, as the addition of West SJ changes the electoral calculus somewhat. Of all the 10 seats, this one feels most unpredictable

*thin link (darn spelling mistakes). At least I spelled Fak and not something else

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

I'm always late to every party, but just started watching the Bear and learned the chap who plays Fak was born in Saint John. It's a somewhat think link (kind of like Donald Sutherland RIP) but it's always fun to know when the cool kids are linked to your city

[1977] (Hanna Barbera) - Laff-A-Lympics - Intro

oh man the weird cartoon series when he and a whole bunch of Hanna Barberra characters participated in Laff-O-Lympics was peak TV. The Pink Panther type was a better version of Howard Cosell. I've never seen anything as magical in decades www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcwL...

Happy #StPatricksDay Saint John! I used to post this historic photo of a leprachaun chilling by Partridge Island over on that other site, but the little guy seems much happier here (Photo from GNB archives)

I know this is satire but to be honest I think Canada would be better off if this historic brand was given to Indigenous Nations instead of liquidated entirely

It also makes a compelling case for investing in built heritage, which is something that most governments in Canada (fed/prov/municipal) don't do nearly enough.

Is there an Ig Nobel for Peace? If so, does POTUS "efforts" in support of Ukraine peace count?

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

I'm sure others have asked (and I don't really care, given how I'm trying to limit my exposure to US politics) but why exactly does Newsom have a podcast? I know he has ambitions and an ineptitude in choosing podcast guests, but more pressingly doesn't he have a major state to govern?

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

my demonic spirit is happy another airline is coming to YSJ this Spring

Kurt Peacock @kurtpeacock.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Also, Dems should push back hard against the WHOLE ANNEXING CANADA shenanigans. Make every northern US R own the idea that their President wants to upend 70+ years of military co-operation and almost 40 yrs of free trade with a northern neighbour and they're somehow fine riding the crazy train

This is a piping hot take, but I'd wager a leftover Tim's roll-up-the-win tab it will be likely 90 per cent accurate (at least for a month)

A very tasty shrove Tuesday supper at #stonechurch . Come get your pancakes!

I know public pension funds are supposed to be immune from political pressures etc etc but the largest holdings of Vestcor (which runs NB pensions) include Meta, Amazon of course Tesla. All of their key shareholders attended the inaugural of a president that has launched economic war against Canada

It's small potatoes in terms of economic impact, but I hope part of GNB's economic action plan in response to the tariffs is a subsidized year-round ferry to Campobello. That island was once home to the best example of US leadership (in FDR), and its Cdn residents shouldn't be left behind

As of 2024 it was 54k shares, so a fraction of one per cent. Dunno what 2025 holdings are
