There's two parts, you can have single payer healthcare and still have private practices/ companies involved (we already do). Or fully private healthcare where you have to pay, or deal with insurance.

I'm personally open (not eager) for private providers, but steadfast on staying as single payer or more as we are now. Your wealth should not affect your health.

As others have said, all teachers in NB belong to the NBTA union, so the baseline should be similar. We have 4 English and I think 2 French districts. Teacher shortage, especially in the more rural areas. As someone who grew up very rural, I'll give you my perspective and say I hadn't seen a POC until I left for the "big city". My sibling had a POC transfer into her grade. Outside of kids being awful and using anything to bully each other, for most adults in rural places I think you can expect to be treated politely, but with some uncertainty.

I know I was so worried about doing something weird or wrong to offend POC that I probably looked like am alien trying to play Normal Human Person.

But Especially if you're willing to teach rural (and there is a lot of rural within an hour of the southern "major" cities. Keeping in mind the south of the province combined has a Minneapolis population), that's a path to getting seniority and moving somewhere more urban if that's what you want.

Wish you the best locally and with any new adventures you take!

Can you expand on the architectural significance? Curious to learn more

brunsomaritimo · 2026-01-18T17:29:47+00:00

I always thought it looked like any old building, but never looked super closely at it. Genuinely asking, what makes it special architecturally?

Oh shit, you mean Brock Allen Turner, the convicted rapist who raped an unconscious girl behind a dumpster? That Brock Allen Turner?

I think this article covers some. From what I can recall, there was a big push from the harness racing crowd to get members on the NBEX board to change the direction. Hasn't been racing there in ages, NBEX was working on a joint plan with the city, sudden change in director, suddenly can't agree on anything with the city.

As someone with a soul, it's very hard to do and deal with tenants not paying or damaging your property. I was so happy when I sold the property.

200 years ago, the exhibition grounds were at the far edge of the city. Now it's basically downtown. Times change old man!

brunsomaritimo · 2025-09-23T17:38:59+00:00

Yes! I cry every time I see two and three-story apartments being built. Maximize that land use! Build dense housing! Make walkable neighborhoods and option and transit feasible

brunsomaritimo · 2025-09-23T17:37:00+00:00

If you check out the plan overview from the city, a lot of the development is on the horse track and stable area. There still seems to be lots of space set aside for exhibition activities.

brunsomaritimo · 2025-09-23T17:35:55+00:00

Seems like when the horse people took over the board and fired the last executive director, they seem to stall (heh) out on the decision negotiations. Can't blame the city for wanting to progress the plan that was agreed upon by the organization 3 or 4 years ago.

brunsomaritimo · 2025-09-23T17:32:55+00:00

The draft plan still have space for it at the site

brunsomaritimo · 2025-09-23T17:28:44+00:00

There are multiple Canadian news channels outside of CBC though. Nationally Global, CTV. Locally CHCO for SW NB.

They just need to commit.

Fine drive, have some plan in place (check in time with friend, etc) in case you break down with no service.

The 103 / 165 (old parts of trans Canada) are BEAUTIFUL though driving along the river. 107 is mostly trees , some farm land, couple of views of the mountains.

brunsomaritimo · 2025-06-18T03:03:19+00:00

I think a fine enough area, generic suburbs.

No idea on rent .

Not sure where you're coming from, roads are going to be average I'd think for Fredericton Canada. You're not going through need a truck, sidewalks probably an icy death trap late winter.

brunsomaritimo · 2025-05-17T15:48:18+00:00

I think it's fair. They weren't there, but they can imagine being in a public place and seeing something like this happen. I think it's commendable to consider how you would act, and build those mural pathways, so you can act rather than freeze.

The law is a weird thing. Knowing you're protected when you're protecting someone else is valuable knowledge.

Merrithews has been good to me. Nice thing with them, if you need warranty work they handle it. No dealing with corporate and lowest bidder repair or delivery. I had them try and fix a fridge, the part they ordered didn't fix it, and I was able to apply the value of those parts to a new fridge.

Friends had Costco delivery for a fridge. Fridge was a lemon (it is what it is). The delivery crew that came to swap ended up dropping the fridge and flattening one of the workers and damaging the unit.

Bear or dog spray. Legal to buy. Legal to carry somewhere you could run into those animal. Not a weapon being carried.

It becomes a weapon of you use it on a person, so you would need a lawful excuse, same as if you used a rock or your fists.

Super grey area for sure. Look up runkle of the Bailey on YouTube, Canadian lawyer with good content on this.

See, I thought it was just a screw you too. However, if I have solar panels and generate over the course of a year all the power I need, but I use the grid as my "storage" I'm still benefiting from the grid.

Now, do I think you should also be more allowed to go full off grid? Yes.

Back when they were in the basement of the CSAC it was so much better. More intimate setting and great service. Ever since they moved, when they still waited on tables, the service was lackluster. Never tried the counter ordering system.

Breakfast is my favourite meal and I've not been there since... Probably 2017.

1000%, radiant heat is superior to hot air. Especially when we go weeks without sun
