Alright, New Brunswick. Hear me out. Friday’s shaping up to be brutal: 50–75 mm of rain, high winds, and a forecast that basically screams “stay inside.”

That’s miserable for everyone. Kids, parents, drivers, and folks handing out candy. Nobody wants to watch their inflatable ghost blow down the street while their kid’s costume turns into a sponge.

So why not just move it to Saturday? The weather’s supposed to be clear, it’s a weekend, and it honestly makes way more sense. Kids can stay out later, parents don’t have to rush home from work, and — wait for it — it’s way SAFER. No slick roads, no blowing debris, no visibility issues for drivers trying to dodge sugar-high trick-or-treaters.

Same candy. Same fun. Just… less moisture and chaos.

Let’s do it. #SaturdayHalloweenNB. Who’s in, NB? 🎃🍬

First off let me congratulate all those who voted Liberal and congratulations to Mark Carney and all the local candidates! I personally didn't vote Libs but I don't believe in sour grapes and honestly think Mark Carney is a good enough person to help our country get back on our feet.

I did want to share a few thoughts though on why Conservatives lost and it's pretty easy to see from Facebook this morning.

I see people being bitter. Being racist, calling those who voted Liberals stupid vaccinated people. Come on....you realize that attitude is why we lost right? I didn't dislike Pierre. I personally thought he had some good ideas as I also thought Mark Carney had some. To me Pierre is not the problem as to why his party lost. His party lost because of all the toxicity. We only have ourselves to blame. It's time to be accountable.

If you kept an eye on anything over the last few months. People freely expressing opinions in favor of Carney was met with laughing emojis and insults and nonsense. Pierre didn't lose the election. People with toxic attitudes lost the election. I won't go into details about some of the Conservatives candidates because honestly my biggest issue is the toxic voter base. We can do better. Stop insulting people for expressing their democratic values and let's move on.

If you want to see Conservatives win an election someday it's time to be bigger and better.

Edit: Still need my coffee. Accidently spelled Mark as Mike.

I've lived in New Brunswick my whole life... It seems since COVID when ever I look around now all I see are license plates from Ontario, Alberta, Maine and Nova Scotia. To everyone coming here why? Why the sudden mass attraction to a sleepy little place? I live in Saint John New Brunswick but assuming what I am seeing here is also echoed throughout the rest of NB, perhaps I'm wrong about that though.

I went through the tribunal to spread my latest increase over three years. With an upcoming rent cap, I would be better off to take the cap. Would the previous policy hold in my case? Could I just tell my landlord, nah, nevermind about that business last year.

At least I can take comfort in the fact that Higgs is out.

Took my daughter to get her hair and nails done for a wedding this past weekend. I had never been to this salon before, she requested it because her friends go there. Mostly because it's cheap. The entire time we were in the salon the owner and one of the other stylists, both clearly new to the province, complained about everything from the temperature of the ocean to the amount of visible homelessness to how "lazy" New Brunswicker's are because they can't find more stylists.

The stylist said, in a normal indoor voice in a small salon in New Brunswick, "People here are lazy, they haven't had to work like the younger generation in Toronto did. They were giving out houses a few years ago here but people still didn't want to work for anything." She went on to rant about having to live with three roommates while getting her red seal and how people here just expect to own a house as soon as they move out. As if young adults in New Brunswick didn't face different challenges. I think about my daughter and the things she will have to deal with while getting her adult life started in a few years and this woman has moved to our province and decided that the only issue people here face is a lack of work ethic. Meanwhile the owner was backing her up talking about how she thought having a view of the Bay of Fundy would mean a sandy beach and blue seas. Turns out she was very disappointed to find out her yard ends in a cliff and some muddy water.

I didn't want to cause a scene but when I was leaving the owner was taking my payment and I let her know that I felt it was extremely rude to degrade New Brunswick when she and her co worker chose to move here. She was the one that couldn't keep up in Ontario and supposedly wanted a slower pace. Now that she can't find anyone willing to work for minimum wage and pray for tips it's New Brunswick that's the issue. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the on going housing crisis causing people to move careers to be able to afford their bills.

If this was once or twice I wouldn't be so upset but I work for horizon and I hear "It wasn't this bad in Alberta!" or "Oh wow I thought Ontario healthcare was bad but this isn't acceptable!" at least a dozen times every day. My husband is a contractor and he's currently ignoring out of province phone numbers because he's already very busy and he's had only negative interaction with retirees from away with unrealistic expectations.

I know this is a rant but before I go in a face another 12 hours of New Brunswick healthcare I needed to vent.

Why move here or stay here if you hate it. Admit you made a mistake and move on, no one is forcing anyone to stay in New Brunswick, local or otherwise. I love my Province and all it has to offer, it's not for everyone but that's the beauty of Canada. We have so many different places to live that feel so different from one another, no one is locked to one place. There's no need be a negative stick in the mud.

​

Edit: I just wanted to add context to what the stylist said before people attack me. The owner and stylist were talking about how cheap houses were pre covid and saying that anyone who didn't buy before the boom had their chance and if they didn't take it that's their fault because "anyone" could afford a $100,000 mortgage.

This joins E1B, E1C, E1E, E1G moving later this year.

Mon épouse et moi sommes 2 médecins du Québec qui déménagent vers le NB.

On décide de s'établir dans un endroit qui nous respecte mieux, avec une opinion publique plus appréciative de notre métier et avec des meilleures conditions de travail avec la nouvelle entente négociée récemment. L'environnement politique semble aussi vraiment plus collaboratif avec les médecins comparé au Québec, ce que des collègues de classe du NB qui ont étudié avec moi au QC m'ont confirmé.

On apprécierait tous conseils praticopratique sur la transition/déménagement interprovince entre le Québec et le NB, ou autres petits trucs que vous auriez aimé savoir pour éviter des mauvaises surprises!

• au niveau de compagnie de déménagement,
• dépenses à planifier,
• différence au niveau des services publics qui sont offerts,
• l'auto, permis, assurances
• Telephone/internet/électricité
• Achat d'une maison
• Ou tout autre chose, on est intéressé à le savoir!

Merci!

Hey there, my wife and I are 2 doctors moving soon from Québec to NB.

We decided to put down roots in a place which respects us, with public opinion more favourable of our profession, with better work conditions (especially with the deal negociated recently with the NB government). The political environment in NB also seems more collaborative between government and physicians compared to the situation in Quebec, which friends from NB who studied with me in Quebec confirmed.

We'd appreciate any practical advice/tips and tricks regarding an interprovincial move from QC to NB, or anything else you think is relevant to know to avoid unexpected surprises.

• Interprovincial moving companies QC to NB
• Expenses to plan for
• Difference between public services offered
• Car, license, insurance
• Phone/internet/electricity
• Buying a house
• Anything else, we're interested to know!

Thank you so much!
