Trying to believe in the Susan Holt government’s plan, but hearing the deficit could hit $1B is tough to swallow. We’ve seen what a mountain of debt does to this province, and it wasn’t pretty. Really hoping there’s a solid path forward this time. #nbpoli

Calling everyone a NIMBY who opposes this shuts down real conversation. A homeless village steps from a school & near densely populated neighborhoods raises valid safety questions. You can care about the unhoused & ask the province to use common sense. It worries me we could see the same thing in SJ

The Holt Government should’ve talked with the Forest Hill community in Fredericton before deciding to place a homeless village there. Consultation builds trust—dropping plans on people doesn’t. We need compassion and collaboration if we want solutions that work for everyone. #NBPoli #Fredericton

My niece waited 14 hours in the ER last week. It’s hard not to feel angry at how broken our healthcare system has become. But behind that frustration, there’s still a bit of hope that someone, someday, will finally fix this. #HealthCareCrisis #HopeIsHard

People are furious about a proposed gas plant near Sackville and a Data Center here in Saint John — but at some point, New Brunswick has to stop saying “no” to everything. We can’t grow if we reject every project on principle. It’s time to open our minds and find a responsible way forward.
Fears over the proposed 500 MW gas/diesel plant on the Chignecto Isthmus dominated a Tantramar community meeting Thursday in Upper Sackville, a location that is only a few kilometres away from where the American company PROENERGY has been clearing an access road.

Say what you want, but the Irvings keep this town and many others in our province fed. Half of Saint John’s gets a paycheck with their name on it. Not everything’s some crooked backroom deal.
Ok New Brunswickers… as I’m new here, I’m trying to learn everything I can about NB.
Kent…is a…hardware store, but they also do construction, and I’m guessing they’re wildly corrupt and bloated like Irving and have deep ties to the political class.
Do I have that about right?

Our education system was never meant to be a business model built on foreign tuition. We set it up to fail — and it’s doing just that. Bad policy is coming home to roost.

Newfoundland’s PC win sends a message — the tide *can* turn for PCs if you get the fundamentals right. ✔️
In NB, Holt’s missteps on education and shaky budgets have left many skeptical. If PCNB can present a stronger vision — and hold her to account — NL's result might just offer hope for them.
