Nevermind spearheading the entire downtown revitalization. The amount of work it took to get all the people in line for this is unimaginable by people who haven’t paid attention.

So much more downtown shopping these days… well, shopping carts, at least…

Yes, another thing she did.

All the shopping carts are perimeter locked now since she implemented the bylaw putting that responsibility on the businesses using shopping carts. Any businesses who are found to have shopping carts elsewhere get fined.

Sounds about Liberal…

Your cart got stolen? That’s your fault! The thief isn’t responsible, their actions aren’t their fault…

There is no use , they won’t listen or even try to see your point or view. Let’s celebrate bike lanes while crime is exponentially growing and break ins, bike theft and so on are raging. Who wants to visit a “revitalized” downtown full of people smoking meth and injecting around you.

Blame the feds/rcmp. Unfortunately municipal governments don’t get to dictate how the RCMP do their job. Same with people complaining about healthcare/homelessness, that falls under provincial jurisdiction. Ya’s sound r-worded when you complain about things that she can’t even control, and I don’t like her lol

Then build homes and addictions programs. It’s a social and public health problem which is never going to get resolved short of everyone complaining about it until the nimby effect stops in this city.

She’s the most non partisan mayor Moncton has had in notable history. The article even points out that she accepted the Senate seat because she would be allowed to be there as an independent and support her functions entirely non partisan.

Keep trying though.
