The dismantling of encampment in Barrie, ON uncovered weapons/drugs, as well as the dismembered remains of 2 men. One was killed 6 months earlier

So sometimes encampments have to be removed

Here, only 2 people accepted supportsđŸ€”

WorkSafeNB costs would have stayed elevated to match ongoing tribunal obligations. Employers would have continued paying much higher rates just to keep Accident Fund solvent, rather than rates steadily declining to historic low of $1.10

Glad that mess got cleaned up. More to clean in 2029. #nbpoli

Thanks to Higgs government reversing the absolutely horrible legislation the Gallant Liberals brought in 2014 to establish the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Tribunal (WCAT) that say premiums jump from $1.11 to $2,65 per $100 of payroll.

Had this reversal not happened

By own analysis forecasts a 127% increase in rates needed to service the capital borrowing needed for known generation projects. Unless something changes, say hello to a $550/month average bill in the not too distant future. #nbpoli thomjeffwrites.substack.com/p/the-550-po...

Would $453,318 a year fund a second E.R. doctor at the DECH? #nbpoli #fredericton

“We’ve been working hard with the province
we’ve got them to change their ideology, because they weren’t even into involuntary care a couple of years ago. Now the push is to get them to live up to their commitment.” Vancouver Mayor

NB Mayors: do same, now. #nbpoli nationalpost.com/feature/vanc...

2) Why is a former employee who is acting as a Roberts Rule of Order guru directing meetings and interrupting proceedings?

It gives the impression of guardrails and not for good governance.

Something is not working. #nbpoli #Fredericton

I gotta give a shout out to two of the directors for always asking questions.

1) The governance model is destined for failure despite having a former CAO (hired consultant) come explain governance.

Why can’t CEO or Chair do it? How much did the AI preso cost taxpayers? #nbpoli

I left Fredericton’s health-care town hall more concerned about Alberta’s private-pay model—and still asking how we improve access here.

Private delivery and private payment aren’t the same. Protect Medicare. But make it work. thomjeffwrites.substack.com/p/protect-me... #nbpoli

39% of those polled were dissatisfied with Holt Government's performance due to concerns about deficits, debt, and spending.

The 33% satisfied were based on “Holt’s perceived empathy, competence and commitment to New Brunswickers.” <-- None of these qualities are making any difference. #nbpoli

Now I got breakfast (chia puddings) AND lunch, sitting in the fridge, ready to go. This is wild. Such a great idea.

đŸ€Š DoH says it was pleased the Holt Gov. wanted to move quickly on clinics despite having no justification — other than cities being Team Holt campaign promises — for locations.

Paul mentions the former government touching the third rail in NB education: immersion. I agree and Paul’s second problem is likely another: inclusion.

He says don’t ignore it, it is not working. #nbpoli

This has to be one of the most frank discussions on a failing education system and this comparison to Holt Government’s new education plan. #nbpoli

It’s not right that a 79 y/o has to navigate our broken healthcare system without a family doctor. A life of meaningful contributions to our province, forgotten, stressed in their later years, due to a fragmented system. Our most vulnerable should be prioritized. #NewBrunswick #Healthcare #NBpoli

@thomjeff.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 12:19 AM

Slippery slope of municipal taxpayers paying for provincial failures to deliver mandated services. Made worse when the province has meddled in their budgeting process, capped property tax assessments and failed to deliver promised reforms in 2025. #nbpoli

I dug into NB Power’s current state & the ‘must do’ key projects. I concluded it can’t do any of them without massive rate hikes. And that assumes they can borrow.

A sale would give it access to capital and scale. #nbpoli thomjeffwrites.substack.com/p/the-550-po...

Halifax-based Emera Inc. and Calgary-based Canadian Utilities announced plans to merge into a new firm worth $72 billion that would rank among the continent’s largest utilities.

Let’s do a deal to sell NB Power to give it the scale it so needs. #nbpoli globalnews.ca/news/1208986...
