Crafted this 12 page briefing note over lunch and shared with someone I feel can do something with it. I will stay involved. #Fredericton

I spent the lunch break putting an idea into motion with those I believe can turn it into something tangible.

I was part of a start-up accelerator that aimed to launch 36 companies within 36 months. So why not 24 doctors in 24 months for #Fredericton?

I suspect it means turn-key, where a new doctor can simply walk in and do what they trained to do without having to worry about the administrative details.

Who is paying for the up-front and ongoing costs? If taxpayers, is this reflected in the new deal with doctors?#nbpoli +

As I shared last week, it's time we think outside the box. There is at least 80k sf of ideal space. If space means turn-key, with furniture, equipment, and technology, then say that. Then let's talk about a turn-key package for any practice that wants to locate in #Fredericton

At the healthcare summit and I’m hearing more about a lack of “space” in Fredericton & it’s holding back recruitment. I heard the same thing last week at my MLA’s town hall.

I’m frustrated hearing space as a blocker. When (how) did this become the thing? #Fredericton #nbpoli 🧵

A young bagpiper stood here for several days, playing Amazing Grace to honour those who served and those who never came home.

No cameras, no ceremony—just quiet respect and a reminder of what remembrance truly means.

Take a moment today to reflect, thank, and remember.

Matt Gurney: The Carney salvation will be arriving 'slower than anticipated'

Spent time at committee — as a resident, for now. And yes, that a #Fredericton pool on the screen. cc: @ward10together.bsky.social

I’d like to see the detailed reports under the “what we did” section. #nbpoli

“Could have considered a tax rate reduction of 5 - 8 cents” While I don’t believe current council would have delivered 8-cents, I’d most certainly expect 5-cents.

I need to look back at spike protection again, but I seem to think it is a delay that property owners eventually pay. #Fredericton

“More value created by people building on the platform than by the platform builder.”

#OpenAI update with Sam whose says the quote is attributed to Bill Gates. So true and welcome to the #AI Platform era.

Not only is it unsafe, it’s an eyesore. #Fredericton

Looking for to it and the new abbey

Emergency department length-of-stay information now available on MyHealthNB.

Fredericton ER count is 105, 2x SJ Regional Hospital with same estimated time. Not sure if the 105 is accurate, tbh.

I doubt any of these units are designated affordable housing units, but yet here we are glowing with favourable loans for a vanity project for politicians. #cdnpoli #AffordableHousing

Kings Place just can’t keep much of anything going. I’d not be surprised if the dollar store next to it had an impact along with a lack of cig sales and maybe lotto tickets with online options now available. #Fredericton

Clearly some have way too much time on their hands. #Fredericton

What to make for dinner?

Leftovers in the fridge, but not a full meal. Pantry of stuff that should make something. So I asked #ChatGPT. Dinner will be served in ~20mins.

We all know it’s much warmer and dryer than usual — these two charts put it into perspective. #Fredericton

It was a good end to my day, tbh. I shared this post earlier on Facebook about a young man I saw earlier in the day.

“Today I saw a young man who was clearly in need of help, and there was none for him—there, or anywhere.”

The ‘Purple Punks’, a group of FHS students out collecting returnables for cancer.

I saw them out downtown, knocking on doors with bags of bottles & cans. Stopped to ask what cause they were out for, glad I did.

They couldn’t take e-donations, so made one on my walk home. #Fredericton

And in four months time, a morning like today will be its spring like and let’s get out there! From winters past….#Fredericton

It was a pull out the gloves and run with the sun in my face morning. New pods fit nicely! #Fredericton
