OK…and when will this 86-year-old get primary health care after over six years without having that?

What specific positions are being filled? Was there an internal enquiry for people who are already here who might be able to fill these positions? Longer term apprentice training might fill some needs as well.

There is not sufficient transparency about our health care problems in New Brunswick. I cannot find where I am on the wait list. Cannot get the information about how patients are assigned to primary care options. I think it is NOT the case that the person on the top of the list gets the next opening. Given what I have observed in our extended family, it seems that a pregnant woman gets primary health care. If so, that is good. In my opinion pregnant women, babies, toddlers should get the first priority.The second priority should be children, the disabled, and elders. That second priority is clearly not being met. I am 86 years old and have been without primary care since 2020 – and indeed with that physician we did meet and she ordered and renewed prescriptions for me. However, she did not examine me or touch my body. I cannot remember the last time a health practitioner actually examined me. This is deplorable, unacceptable, disgusting.

Why did we lose all the prosecutors? Did I miss something?

Another 1 term Premier!😉

The Liberals have to go.

It’s more than just the power. The data centre and gas plant will destroy over 220 acres of old growth forest and wetlands. The wetlands are the head of the watershed for the Lorneville residents wells. Also noise snd lights and from the data centre have huge impacts on the residents who live near these. The gas plant will emit 755,000 time of toxins per year, the 3rd largest polluter in NB and then people wonder why Saint John has the largest cancer rates ! What ever happened to Net 0? Guess this only applies when it is in their favour! This will have a buffer of 150 meters 😞from our homes. We were also told, there,inubg of this land for this project and there would be no smoke stacks permitted. Not sure how you run a gas plant with no stacks! They changed this after the public hearing. What this does is opened the door for more polluters! Shut this down now!

So , folks have environmental concerns about a mega green project . What happens if these concerns are found to be true by an environmental review . Does that stop it ,particularly if there is no “social licence” ? The reality is every single project has risks and benefits . Mitigate (but one will never eliminate) the risk and if the benefit outweighs the risk then likely we should proceed . But the worst outcome in today’s economy and environmen t is to paralyze ourselves and do nothing. Otherwise we may as well regress to the 17th century.

here here, Well said

I’m sure there is enough room in the middle of New Brunswick to build a Data Centre.

Why are Standard Dirt Bikes, Electric Dirt Bikes and Pedestrians not allowed on QuadNB All terrain vehicle trails? Who pays for the upkeep of these trails and are Quad Vehicles required to be Registered and Licensed? Where are Electric Dirt Bikes expected to go?
