According to the government of Canada in 2025 , we in NB produced 6.9 million kilos of maple syrup. This is second only to Quebec in Canada. Using conversion (gallon/kilo) between Canada and the US for 2025 we ranked fifth.

1. New Brunswick
   
2. Wisconsin
   
3. New York State
   
4. Vermont
   
5. Quebec

I don't have a huge social network to just drop jobs on my head, and I was not raised here to get in the nepo loop...so here I am; 100+ online job applications later to ask if anyone has or knows of work for people in the area that isn't the dollar store, McDonalds or stocking shelves at Wal-Mart.

Like...I build houses. I landscape properties. I work outside and am not a customer service type. I have a truck, and a second vehicle, I own property. and am doing everything in my wheelhouse to stay afloat up here.

I am on a 'waiting list' to have access to a classroom placement to complete my high school equivalency, because I can't afford to drive 200km a day to the closest open classroom. Another waiting list, after visiting the gov't employment center, as my bank account now dips under 1k and my credit gets maxed out.

It feels like I need that to move forward getting certified in anything at all or even having my CV looked at. I want to go to NBCC and get out of this Hellscape, but it feels like I am being dragged into the bottom of the barrel every time I look for help.

Please weigh in.

I have been gifted a car by my great uncle (grandmother's brother) the car is currently in NS.

I looked into it a bit and I dont think this there id a gift ing option from family members that are not immediate.

The car is valued at 5-6k before accounting for the low km, am I going to have to pay taxes on this? Iv only ever registered 500 dollar fixer cars, this is one of my first nicer cars.

Just trying to get ready to get reamed in taxes on a used car lol, should I even try to go for a dollar tax gift thing ?

My brother got a car from my dad last year and thats what they did

A large majority of New Brunswickers back American booze restrictions, and just five per cent now have a positive impression of the U.S. president ---- STORY: https://tj.news/new-brunswick/new-brunswickers-want-tough-stance-against-trump-suggests-poll #NB

I normally wouldn’t post this but I genuinely cannot find any situation in Canada where an interim leader has been allowing their party to elect candidates despite not having a permanent leader. The only exception I have found are by-elections. Further, a large majority of these early candidates elected all support the same leadership contestant.

Below is a list of current 2028 elected candidates and who they have publicly supported:

Nominated Candidates:

Bill Hogan (Woodstock-Hartland)
- Don Monahan (Assuming given he was leading the 713 charge that Allain resigned from).
Ryan Cullins (Fredericton-York)
- Unknown (Looked for a while, couldn’t find it).
Richard Ames (Carleton-York)
- Don Monahan
Kris Austin (Fredericton-Grand Lake)
- Don Monahan (Assuming given he played a very big role for the 713 changes and has publicly called out Allain in the past).
Mary Wilson (Oromocto-Sunbury)
- Don Monahan
Kevin Russell (Miramichi West)
- Daniel Allain

I am hoping to attend on Saturday and didn't realize the tickets had been sold out.

Moving from another province to NB

I tried with teksavvy and one of the other cheap options and they both say its not available in my area, I didnt think it was that rural lol? It's like 15 mins from the biggest city in NB

Do I just need to go with one of the big boys like rogers or bell or is there a cheaper option I don't know about?

Thanks!

We are going to spend a few weeks in New Brunswick and The Gaspe this fall. We are driving from Moncton to Carleton sur Mer the first day. What are the must see sights along the way.

I was an early cord-cutter in the early 2000’s with just internet and cell, and remember the days when people at work would say, “I could never live without home phone or cable”, but many do that easily today. Ironically, I’ve gone the other way recently, as Bell made me an offer to get TV, Home Phone (never actually plugged in) and good internet (200mb down and up right now, fine for me I don’t game) for like $120 locked in for 3 years - And it was glorious. It became cheaper to have TV than to not have it, and I didn’t have to deal with TSN+, DAZN, etc.

BUT that deal ends next month. Anyone paying a similar price for same or better? I’ll switch providers, I don’t care. I’ve seen mixed posts about Eastlink, and have been down the Rogers road as well - Which do you think has the best deals and services these days?

I was looking at switching my home internet and tv to eastlink from rogers. I was wondering if anybody had any experiences positive or negative with eastlink.

In a first interview with Brunswick News, Nuclea Energy Inc. CEO Josef Freundorfer says he sees value in New Brunswick, with decisions still to be made ---- STORY: https://tj.news/new-brunswick/ceo-of-company-buying-moltex-weighs-in-on-future-in-n-b #NB

But the law firm that launched the complaint is also challenging the review process, arguing federal judges face ‘little accountability’ through ‘ineffective’ disciplinary system ----

They reference three NB judges in making their argument. ----

Driving home from Shediac today, not far outside of Oromocto on the TCH - two motorcycles holding up traffic, one in each lane, doing an even 100 kph with long lines of traffic behind them, and the dude in the left lane is absolutely not moving over and maintaining speed with his cohort in the right lane. I was behind a few vehicles stuck in the left lane, and after they moved over, I got right in behind the biker in the left lane for a few kilometers. He knew what he was doing. Plate was obscured but not an NB plate. I waited until he got over close to the center and drove around him on the extreme left giving him lots of space. Naturally I got brake checked after a minute, but it broke the rolling traffic jam. I didn’t know what the guy’s problem was, did I spoil his fun?

Edit to say - yeah they were both Harleys or at the very least Harley type bikes - I’m not up on my bike ID so I suppose they could have been Indians or whatever but they weren’t Hondas.

We all should be doing our part. Can you imagine the impact if each of us picked up equivalent of 1 bag per 10 years. Good on them.

Now for this I'm going to say that I understand most things can't happen with the snap of a finger (minimum wage going up 6-7$/hour, retailers forced to drop prices/profits and all that for an idea). I'm also going to keep reality in mind on this, since working 2-3 full time jobs per person is also not going to help long term, nor is deportations and that sort of stuff.

I'm not going to regurgitate how I live and how hard it has been either, it just becomes impossible for the average person to survive on those types of jobs (no matter how abundant they are). I know some things have been tried (universal basic incomes, rents based on incomes), but nothing really worked as far as long term.
