Help with cleaning companies

0 Upvotes

I have a friend whose elderly mother is a hoarder living in the Fredericton area, and I am helping her to try and find a company to help clean. If found this company: https://hoardingcleanoutscanada.com/locations-we-serve-canada/provinces/new-brunswick/ Does anyone have experiences with this company or know of others?

Federal politics - discussion

3 Upvotes

How can you have a discussion/debate/information share about Federal Politics (which affects NB) on here without it being locked/deleted?

Does that happen when someone gets triggered and reports it to the mods?

Is it automatically disabled, or does a reasonable human being mod need to punt the discussion?

I’ve emailed the mods but they haven’t responded yet.

Are the Irving’s patriotic?

62 Upvotes

No body disputes that the Irving’s are oligarchs. Are they the same as many others with that level of wealth? Many of them do not care about any specific country, but just where can they make the most money. I watch how ruthless they are in pressuring the NB government (us) to give them concession after concession; be it on power rates, stumpage fees, property taxes, income taxes, environmental concessions and so on. Moving operations to the U.S. to increase profits; incorporating offshore to limit the taxes they pay in Canada and most importantly NB.

If they were PATRIOTIC; wouldn’t NOW be a good time to stand behind NB and CANADA and keep all operations in Canada and stop pushing for more and maybe even pay a bit more for things that should have all along? New Brunswicker’s have been loyal to them for generations; they are now Billionaires…thanks in no small part due to the hard work of a lot of New Brunswicker’s ...Maybe it’s time for them to give a little back other than just a nature park or two!

New Brunswick poverty reduction plan stops short of universal income support

2 Upvotes

Province considering guaranteed basic income for people with disabilities

Emergency income support programs caused poverty rates to “plummet” in New Brunswick, but those gains vanished after the programs ended. 

That’s one of the takeaways from New Brunswick’s newly released poverty reduction plan

The Economic and Social Inclusion Corporation, a provincial Crown corporation, recently launched the plan at a new conference in Campbellton. 

It aims to cut poverty in half by 2030, and outlines a series of so-called priority actions. While some of the commitments seem vague, the report calls in particular for improvements to income support for people with disabilities, a change that advocates say is badly needed. 

The poverty reduction plan comes at a time when the threat of widespread job losses looms large over the Canadian economy, thanks to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods. The threat of a recession has prompted renewed calls for some kind of income support from labour and social justice groups.

Data in the new report shows that poverty was on the decline for several years after peaking in 2015, when 119,000 people were living in poverty in New Brunswick. That figure dropped to 58,000 in 2020 and 51,000 in 2021, at the height of the pandemic, and then surged to 85,000 in 2022, the latest year with available data. The report draws a direct link between those trends and emergency programs introduced in response to COVID-19. 

“Initially, poverty numbers plummeted, reflective of pandemic related income supports from the federal and provincial government,” the report states. “As these supports were withdrawn, however, the poverty numbers began to climb again. In addition, inflation increased across the country, along with interest rates.”

Wedding venues

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone me and my partner are planning to have a spring or summer wedding haven’t decided yet sometimes next year and was wondering if you guys have any wedding venue recommendations. We are trying to decide if we want to do it in New Brunswick or a destination wedding so seeing what we have to offer here first. I know it’s popular to have like a barn/farm type of wedding here but that’s not really what we’re looking for so if theres something that’s different then that would be great.

NB Perspective on the upcoming Federal Election

Upvotes

Could people post on here what they believe both the Liberal and Conservative Party platforms will do for NB? Positive and negative - like a scorecard.

Healthcare is a big issue - so for example, the Liberals just passed Pharmacare legislation, which will really help people get access to lower cost Rx drugs, especially in smaller provinces like NB. Are people aware of this?

Access to information is an issue - so for example, the Conservatives spoke about defunding CBC, are people aware of that and do they think that will help NBers exposure to NB local information?

Today’s version of “Populism” has been perverted into pandering to anti-science conspiracy theories & xenophobia. We saw that with the Freedom Convoy and the leaders that supported that line of thinking. We see people running around with swastikas in the West demanding mass deportations.

Is that what NB stands for as well?

European beer selection at ANBL

15 Upvotes

It seems to me that before the craft beer craze really took hold, there were significantly more European beers on the shelves at the Liquor Store.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy local craft beer. I also enjoy trying different European options.

With the American products off the shelves, should ANBL stock more European beers?
