I've always loved this old farmhouse when visiting the mainland from PEI, today I finally stopped to take a picture.

I'm so curious on the history of the house. It's been abandoned for as long as I can remember. But curious if anyone has any information!

Edit to add location: on the highway just before PEI, potentially Malden area.

Lots of great projects, would be awesome to see some take off as businesses.

Thankfully the remaining line painting on the route 3 paving was done by someone who knew what they were doing. Not sure what happened on the Brockway stretch…it may have been that person’s first and last job painting lines 🤣

If you’ve driven route 3 in the last month, you know the section in question.

Things like this can be incredibly difficult for service members, both current and former. Check in with your friends and family.

It's been a shitty night.

What is it like teaching in NB?

How long did it take to get contract?

How is pay? Benefits?

Have a question is it better to claim my wife and kids on my taxes and risk losing the child tax benefit for her, or is it more beneficial to claim them and get the one time deposit a year from the tax break , for more information I make 70k a year 2 kids under 6 and she makes 0 income thanks in advance.

I am curious in how the political climate is in New Brunswick, as I'd like to move there some day.

Can anyone recommend a great spot to magnet fish? Preferably off a bridge somewhere without a lot of traffic going by?
Currently in the Bouctouche area, but willing to travel within reason : 1-2 hrs away.

Thanks in advance!!

Edited - spelling

Summary: New Brunswick’s clean fuel fees skyrocketed past 2030 projections this summer primarily due to a new calculation formula approved by the province's Energy and Utilities Board (EUB), which allows oil companies to fully pass federal compliance costs directly to consumers at the pump. While a 2023 federal report originally predicted that these clean fuel charges would not peak at 8 cents a litre until the year 2030, New Brunswick drivers instead paid between 11.66 cents and 12.34 cents per litre throughout the summer driving season.

A co-worker has been bringing her dog to work with her - 3 days a week, and keeping it in her Jeep for the entire 8 hours. It happened all summer and last winter, regardless of extreme high and low temperatures. Police and SPCA have been called at least a dozen times and we have watched her outside telling them off/getting in their face from inside the office, but don't know what was said. Is this not illegal? We keep calling SPCA/Police but nothing is done.

If Daniel Allain is leading a palace coup… My money is on the palace.

This guy ticks off a lot of boxes as a bilingual moderate. But his political skills aren’t tip top:

1. As David Alward’s campaign manager, Daniel Allain lost a winnable provincial election to a 32 year Brian Gallant only one election after the Atcon scandal wiped out Shawn Graham’s Liberal gov’t
2. Failed 2023 attempt at removing a 70-something Blaine Higgs as PC party leader.
3. Weird public communications from Allain over his former executive assistant deciding not to support Daniel Allain in this year’s PC leadership. Like, who takes their voting cues from a former junior political staffer they’ve never even heard of. Like, nobody would know about this split unless Allain’s own team hadn’t brought the matter to public attention.

The leadership of the PC party hasn’t been truly settled by that result. 38% of the vote + 6 pre-nominated MLA’s actually dwarfs Daniel Allain’s attempt at undermining Blaine Higgs’ PC leadership. There’s a viable force within the PC party to unhorse Daniel Allain as leader.

Daniel Allain has been in provincial politics for 30 years. Allain needed to crush Don Monahan & Monahan went the distance like this was Rocky Part I.

I just got accepted into the LPN 2027 Fall intake at NBCC. I don’t know anyone who has done this program and I’d love to hear about it. Is it draining? What does the day to day look like? I want to know as much as possible before paying my deposit. Is it worth it? Thank you!!!!

Hey everyone (I am sorry for the long read)

I’m graduating from my Practical Nursing program soon, and I’m hoping to hear from current LPNs and recent graduates who have gone through the Horizon Health Network hiring process.
This will be my very first nursing job interview, and honestly, I’m nervous as hell. 😭 I’m doing well academically and graduating with honours, so I know I’ve put in the work throughout nursing school. However, I also know that doing well in school and performing well in an interview are two different things, and I really want to give myself the best chance possible.
From what I’ve been hearing, hiring seems to be more limited this time around, unlike previous years when it seemed like most graduates were able to find positions relatively easily. That’s making me anxious because, after putting so much time and effort into nursing school, the thought of graduating and struggling to find a job is genuinely scary.
Ideally, I’d love to work in one of the larger hospitals, particularly Moncton Hospital, Saint John Regional Hospital, or a hospital in Fredericton. I’m not from this province and still adjusting to life in New Brunswick, so I’d really prefer to stay in one of the larger cities rather than relocate to a smaller town if possible. I also have a strong interest in starting my nursing career in an acute care hospital.
I want to be clear that I have nothing against nursing homes or long-term care. I know they’re important settings for LPNs, and I’m open to learning wherever I end up. I just have a particular goal in mind for my first nursing job, and I’m worried about how competitive things might be.
For those who have interviewed with Horizon, especially recent new grads:
● What was the interview actually like? Was it a panel interview, and how many people were interviewing you?
● What kinds of questions did they ask? Were they mostly behavioural questions, clinical scenarios, or a combination of both?
● What clinical topics should I review beforehand? Are there particular nursing scenarios, prioritization questions, medication safety questions, or patient situations I should practise?
● How can a new grad stand out when they don’t have much independent nursing experience yet? Did you use examples from clinical placements?
● What questions did you ask the interviewers at the end? I’d love to ask thoughtful questions that show I’m genuinely interested in the position.
● How does the hiring process work for new grads? Do they consider your preferred hospital locations, or are you more likely to be placed wherever positions are available?
● For those hired into acute care, what helped you get your preferred hospital or unit? Did you apply to multiple locations, and how flexible did you have to be?
I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who interviewed with Horizon recently, whether you were successful or not. If you remember any actual interview questions, examples of clinical scenarios, or resources you used to prepare, I’d be incredibly grateful if you shared them.
I know I can’t control everything about the hiring process, but I want to prepare as well as I possibly can rather than walk into my first interview feeling completely clueless.
Thank you so much! Any honest advice, personal experiences, or interview tips would genuinely help. ❤️
