Holt’s State of the Province felt more like a confession of "ugly" health misses than a win. Seniors face nursing homes while MLAs block voters. NB Power wants hikes early, and ChatGNB has translators worried. Not much of a victory lap.

We will never forget their service and ultimate sacrifice.

This week: Vitalité just can't quit travel nurses. Power rates are rising, but don't blame exec bonuses. Inflation is up, but border crossings are *way* down. And finally, Port Saint John might project a fake harbour view onto a cold-storage warehouse.

A quick read of social media today has shown me that most people have no sweet clue what is going on with the property tax reform effort, how their property is assessed, how this year’s property tax freeze works, and what’s going to happen next year. A storm’s a-brewin’.

Another fun fact about New Brunswick from the NB Power public feedback:
67% of housing in New Brunswick was built before 2000, making it especially challenging to heat in the winter (and demanding on the utility).

Last Friday, the review panel examining the future of NB Power released a summary the public feedback they've gathered. Long story short: Everyone cares about their power bill amount, and almost no one cares about NB Power debt.

According to the public feedback gathered by the review panel, only 0.05% listed NB Power's crushing $6 billion debt as the top priority for the utility. That's 1 in 2000.
