4/5 sounds an awful lot like proposing legislation that could force municipalities into paying for infrastructure e.g. pools.

811 is effectively useless. Their default answer to eveything is "go to emerge". But they'll offer to fax over the details you shared with them like its 1992. 😂

We have enough natural gas and water to become an energy and data center mecca of North America. But will we?

I've been reading through the proposed rural plan for our community tonight. This was put together by the Capitol Region Service Commission. Taking notes as I go. Many needed regulations, but also some silly stuff too. They're collecting feedback next week.

I'm quite okay without it. When connected to the U.S. mobile network I can see that CTV is still posting away on FB, and very little of it is "news". No different for the other two networks prior to being blocked. We can do without the steam of clickbait.

It was Christmas Bird Count day (albeit it a bit delayed). The Grey Jays (Whisky Jacks, Gorbys, Canada Jays etc) stole the show in Carleton County.

I recall the year I lived in Skyline Acres in 2018 and had to walk the dog daily - most times I was better off on the street. It was eye opening to see how poorly the sidewalks were maintained. Partly due the poor overall condition of them (uneven etc).

Declared extinct in 2025: A look back at some of the species we lost Some species officially bid us farewell this year. They may have long been gone, but following more recent assessments, they’re now formally categorized as extinct on the IUCN Red List, considered…

A look at our Saint John River at Pokiok, prior to the #Mactaquac Dam being constructed. All of this is under many feet of water now. It's a shame we can't let the river flow free once again - especially given the dam's questionable (and expensive) future. #newbrunswick #Canada

Or a Gorby.

The Taj Mahal is coming along nicely.

Many have been traveling far and wide to see this Painted Bunting in Bayfield, #NewBrunswick the past couple of weeks. An extremely rare visitor to our region, especially in December. 🪶

Lovely Christmas evening and morning. We did dinner last weekend, so just relaxing today. It snowed this morning bringing a perfect white Christmas. The trees are beautiful.

Pine Grosbeaks are popping up all over the area this December. Nice to see. #NewBrunswick #canada 🪶

Our utility company is frustrating. We have trees draped over the powerlines due to ice buildup. I called in today and they said "we'll send someone in 5 days to look at it...and cut it within 30 days if its deemed a risk. 😳

A lot of words with no KPIs attached. Still championing increased PD days when test scores are terrible.

Odd, no news release out. Not even a flashy video.

There have been many issues that arose on Two Nations after 12 Neighbors arrived and we'll see the same issues crop up in Forest Hill. The cemetery and surrounding woods will become the new hangout.

For several weeks this fall Mactaquac wasn't generating electricity due to low water levels. Two key stations offline at the same time can't be cheap.

Someone needs to file a FOI request (with both GNB and CoF) to get the complete back story on this. It would be interesting to see what the emails reveal.
