β€œSmith’s address last night is worse than advocacy for separatism. It’s an agenda to destroy Canadian federalism from within. To rely on stoking fear and xenophobia, to attack society’s most vulnerable, to dismantle the grand bargains that make Canada the best country in the world.”

*Important* 

At the Senate on Tuesday, the President summarized the Province's plan to cut University funding across the province by 10%. This is nuclear, amounting to ~50M divided among the four universities. (While Irving pulp and paper is to get +45M for tariff relief.)

But it is not yet a done deal. All university and union presidents are responding firmly. 

Please write to your MLA asap. There is not much time.

Dear Hon. Susan Holt,

It has come to my attention that the budget for universities in the province may be cut by $50 million.

I am writing to plead with you to reconsider.

New Brunswick universities like the University of New Brunswick--recently ranked tops in Atlantic Canada and 14th in the country ahead of Western and Ottawa by TIME Magazine--serve a vital role educating the young people of this province. 

Our constituency is our own children. 

These proposed cuts would have a catastrophic impact on institutions that quite frankly require more public investment not less. This would be an incredibly short-sighted decision, with devastating long-term impacts.

I hope New Brunswick can count on you to reconsider and put its young people first, ahead of corporate interests.

Many thanks,

Nathan Kalman-Lamb

Associate Professor of Sociology,
University of New Brunswick

Catastrophic higher education news in New Brunswick: the Liberal government of my MLA @susanholtnb.bsky.social is potentially going to cut 10% of the budget for universitiesβ€”$50M across 4 schools when much *more* funding is needed, not less.

The impact would be devastating.

Please share, NBers.

Yikes in a city that is pushing density + multi-unit residential bldgs as much as #Fredericton is, not having #recycling in all apartments sorted before removing the community bins is a pretty big fail? People who want to recycle should have an option, it shouldn’t be up to a landlord’s compliance.

Loss of weekend hours at Minto walk-in clinic a step backward, mayor says | CBC News As the New Brunswick government opens collaborative care clinics around the province, Minto residents are frustrated to see the walk-in hours reduced at their community health centre.

This is pretty sad. When Freddy had ZERO options for walk-ins during Covid, Minto welcomed so many of us... no glares, no questions, just care.

Sadly, so many people (especially when the value is on short term gains over long term ones) don't tend to act on climate without regulations…

This is an economist showing a lack of human understanding.

I really wish someone in the media would flip this around:

"Group dashes community hopes to replace 100 year old middle school - with no ventilation or fields - in only remaining central location."

Look at it from the perspective of students and staff who are waiting on a much needed new school.

And the least climate and sustainability friendly budget since the Harper years passes. Sigh.

ICYMI: Canada burned this summer, trees burned, and they cut the 2 billion trees, planting them, program. Also goes against Canada’s 2030 Nature Strategy.
