As a Frederictonian, I did a double take.

Was this made by McKinsey?

How about some savings from:

- Getting rid of Vestcor
- Pay physicians as employees, not corporations
- Removing property tax on GNB buildings (it’s just moving money around)

The decision to remove the sweet chicken option at Taco Boyz seems to have been a big mistake, and helping Bar Burrito into the #1 fast food taco and burrito option in Freddy.

I am extending beyond my boundaries, and don’t want to criticize outside of my scope, so this is just an uneducated opinion, but once it is just one word it seems too minimal to be used as a quote.

Thanks, I did and it helps with some info, but my concern is that how the original story is presented creates partisan anger. Even for the second story, why does the title put “stronger” in quotes? That leads people in thinking there are doubts that the competitive process was flawed or corrupt.

@poitrasj.bsky.social are you aware that eVisitNB is only renewing prescription amounts up to March 31st? There seems to be no reason to do this other then to cause chaos on April 1st as thousands of people scramble to get a refill on that day.

Sigh. This could have been a lot better:

- Holt Liberals didn’t “drop” them, they lost in a competitive bid process.
- Adding history on the original eVisitNB deal would add context.
- eVisitNB is an NB company but nothing was developed in NB, it’s just a front for Maple, partly a loblaws company

Technically it’s an NB company, but nothing was developed in NB, and it’s just Maple with a different name. Nothing wrong with that, but we should be clear on what it is.

My health insurance offers a service for $7/month similar to Maple. Worth checking options, although ideally no one would have to pay.

And lastly, eVisitNB is doing a big FU to the new providers by only filling prescriptions up until March 31st. This will create a huge backlog of people trying to get refills via new provider on April 1st. Seems pretty unethical in my opinion, as it puts people at risk.

Hopefully people know that they can pay (not that they should have to) to access Maple or similar eVisit services. Some health plans also also already include it (my does for $7/month).

Holt government drops N.B.-based virtual care company Province replacing eVisitNB with a new service provider based outside Canada

eVisitNB has filled some gaps but also has some shady practices. And it always bothers me when it’s called a “made in NB business”. It’s just Maple, an Ontario company partly owned by Loblaw.

Marine Atlantic to bolster Cabot Strait capacity with addition of charter vessel | CBC News Marine Atlantic has entered into a five-year agreement with Stena for the charter of a large ferry that will increase capacity on the Cabot Strait between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.

This new vessel really needs to be called “Atlantic Vision II”…

The “circular materials” organization is run purely to set policies and operations to favour large corporations. Just look at the board of CM:

So the City of Fredericton has complete handed over recycling to an industry-controlled organization framed as public-interest infrastructure. And doesn’t seem to even have any input into how “Circular Materials Atlantic” operates.

“A cruising speed of 190 mph”. Oi!

This may have been my dumbest Bluesky tweet of 2025. Thank you for the charity like.

If they can tighten up their defence, I’m hopeful MacDougall can work his magic and get them focused & motivated as the tournament goes on.

Ah, I remember being disappointed when you shared that. Seems like a good target for zoning updates.

My dream would be to combine the lot with the Sunshine Dinner, tear it down, and build a new “Sunshine Dinner and Microbrewery”, with a modest 2 stories of apartments above.

Hey, as a former resident of Sunshine Gardens (Fredericton’s first and “premier” subdivision, surpassing New Maryland), the Gardens doesn’t deserve the slander it gets!

I’m a big fan of their secondary parking lot beside/behind the building.

8:45 am All Schools in Anglophone School District West will reopen at 12:00 pm (noon) today due to improved weather and road conditions.

Send this to your kids and see how quickly they can tell it’s AI (it has a clear mistake). If they don’t, time for a teachable moment!

A friend (Fredericton based) was doing a blend of software consulting and training. For 2025 he switched to about 90% training, and has been very happy with it, but does worry if things can quickly dry up.

I used to work in an office nearby, and for many years the convenience store iterations were pretty bad. Almost as if the store wasn’t really open: half empty shelves, lights not on, dust all over the products, and lots of things broken. Not sure if it was on purpose or owners didn’t care.

Yep.

I remember the good old days when the NB chief medical officer had to fabricate evidence all by herself, without AI!

Anyone ever have an issue with UPS claiming they delivered two packages at once (separate shippers) but they only actually delivered one?

Both show scanned at same time, so why would driver only deliver one? The one ‘missing’ is high value, so did the UPS driver forget it in truck or steal it?
