I was at work (café) closing up, cleaning everything. I picked up the pot of soup to put it away in the fridge (picture of the type of soup pot, rather tall and unstable).

It then slipped from my hands, in free fall for about 2 inches or so, before catching it. I spilled maybe a quarter of a ladle-full of soup. I was so happy. It could have been so much worse, and it would have taken ages to clean up.

The soup today was a coconut cream curry cauliflower soup. It's good soup.

Québec's Harmonium was a force in the '70s prog rock scene, and one of the most popular acts of the decade in their home province. They were pioneers of the prog folk subgenre of progressive rock, incorporating elaborate instrumental sections into their music.

BA Johnston is an artist from Hamilton, Ontario known for his satirical songs and energetic live performances. Some songs will be simple acoustic arrangements, as in Canadian Beers or they'll feature synth and drum machines, like I Don't Buy No Government Weed (Still Buying From Steve). Across all tracks, there's BA Johnston's self-deprecating humour and many references to real Canadian culture (like the mention of the camo Alpines in Canadian Beers, this man gets me)

Seriously, if you ever get the chance to see one of his live shows, please do yourself a favour and go! I don't want to share any details because it's best you go in blind. I will say that a BA Johnston show is an unhinged, multi-sensory experience.

Playful as a puppy but smart as a whip, New Brunswick's Motherhood pack deeply conceptual art rock into a delightfully unpretentious package.

Summer is approaching (in the Northern hemisphere, anyways) and while I do still bike in the winter, I'm hyped for the nicer weather to go on more leisure rides rather than just commuting.

However, I'm lacking ideas and inspirations for spots to cycle to, so I was curious where everyone here likes to go on bike rides!

According to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), 27.9 per cent of New Brunswickers indicated having difficulties with their mental health in 2024. Additionally, Statistics Canada reports that New Brunswick has the third highest suicide rate among all Canadian provinces, with 15.1 deaths per population of 100,000. It is crucial that New Brunswickers have access to timely and effective mental health services.

Unfortunately, in New Brunswick there are limited and inadequate supports for individuals seeking mental health care.

Tandis que le comité de sages sur l’identité de genre formé par Québec s’apprête à déposer son rapport à la fin du mois, le Conseil québécois LGBT veut lui envoyer un message clair. « On s’attend à [ce qu’il n’y ait] aucun recul de nos droits et aucun recul dans l’accès aux services », lance, inquiet, le directeur général de l'organisme, James Galantino.

Même si la ministre Suzanne Roy, qui a mis sur pied le comité il y a plus d’un an, avait promis de ne pas revenir sur la question des droits existants, le contexte social et la "montée de la haine" nourrissent les appréhensions de M. Galantino.

Last week, Premier Susan Holt launched her weekly livestreamed press conferences on her government's tariff "action plan."

New Brunswickers got to know the media room Holt was using — and the image of leadership in crisis — during Blaine Higgs's frequent pandemic briefings, fed into laptop computers and smartphones.

The premier instead adopted the role of therapist-in-chief, pledging to use the weekly briefing to respond to questions sent to her office by anxious, frustrated New Brunswickers.

Moncton Mayor Dawn Arnold is stepping down from her municipal role effectively immediately to take on the new responsibility in the Senate. Paulette Thériault will be acting mayor, effective immediately, a statement from the city said.

Elections N.B. said Moncton will have to wait until May 11, 2026, to fill Arnold's vacancy.
