Question to anyone who works in the forestry sector

I know forestry is a big industry in NB and the maritimes. I was recently reading about the ongoing trade talks and the softwood lumber dispute. My understanding is that we (ie. Canada) provide around 25% of softwood lumber to USA. Is this because we have more forest? Better quality trees? More sawmills? Could the US replace us if they wanted to? Or are they completely dependent on us?

By the way, do we sell lumber to Maine? I know they have lots of forests too but I read on CBC we sell wood to them. Thanks

I didn't realize how much of a maple syrup powerhouse NB is

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

Skilled Labourer looking for work, Bathurst area...anything.

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.

Gifted car

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

PCNB has now appointed 6 candidates for the 2028 election despite not having a permanent leader.

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
