💙 Please stop scrolling and share this in hopes it reaches the right people, they will know who they are 💙
There are moments in life that change you forever, moments where fear, exhaustion, and love all collide, and for our family, the last five months have been filled with many of those moments as my daughter walked through crisis.
I want to publicly and deeply thank Island EMS and the Montague RCMP for the compassion, patience, and humanity you showed us during the hardest days of our lives.
Every call, every visit, every interaction was met without criticism, judgment, or frustration. Instead, you showed up with calm voices, gentle presence, and open hearts. You treated my daughter not as a problem to be managed, but as a young person in pain who deserved dignity, safety, and to be heard.
You took the time to listen to her. You spoke to her with respect. You made her feel safe in moments when the world felt overwhelming and terrifying. That kind of care cannot be taught in a manual, it comes from empathy, from truly seeing the person in front of you.
As a parent, there is no greater fear than watching your child struggle and feeling powerless to take the pain away. In those moments, you gave me something priceless: reassurance. You reminded me that she was not alone, that she mattered, and that she was in capable, compassionate hands.
Your professionalism never wavered, even in emotionally charged situations. Your understanding never faltered, even when things were complicated and heavy. And your kindness left a lasting impact on my daughter, and on me, that words will never fully capture.
Thank you for being the steady presence in our storm. Thank you for leading with empathy. Thank you for doing your work with heart.
What you do matters. What you gave us mattered. And we will carry that gratitude with us forever. 💙

❄️🚨 WHAT’S UP NEW BRUNSWICK WEATHER REPORT 🚨❄️
Brought to you by: What’s Up New Brunswick

Alright N.B. ...layer up, and emotionally prepare yourself. 🥶

Environment Canada has officially slapped a COLD WARNING on parts of northwestern and central N.B., which is weather-people talk for “don’t lick anything metal and question all your life choices.”

🌬️ THE DETAILS (aka the pain):

Wind chills flirting with –35°C overnight Sunday and again early Tuesday

Temperatures will “moderate” Tuesday, which in New Brunswick means slightly less offensive

⚠️ WHO’S AT RISK?

Everyone. Yes, you too.

Extra spicy danger for kids, seniors, people with chronic illness, outdoor workers, gym heroes, and anyone who thought a hoodie was “enough.”

🧥 ENVIRONMENT CANADA SAYS:

Dress in layers (plural… not “that one jacket from 2012”)

Add a wind-resistant outer layer unless you enjoy becoming a human popsicle

Keep emergency supplies in your vehicle because boosting a dead battery at –35 builds character

🐶 IMPORTANT PSA:
If it’s too cold for you… it’s too cold for your pets.
(No, “they’ll be fine” is not a scientific measurement.)

❄️ WHY THE WARNING?
Because frostbite and hypothermia don’t care how tough you think you are or how many winters you’ve “seen worse.”

Stay warm, stay safe, and remember:
This isn’t winter — this is New Brunswick reminding you who’s in charge.

🚨 WHAT’S UP MONCTON — TRAFFIC & SAFETY CONCERNS 🚨

Another collision at this intersection this morning — and it’s becoming an all-too-familiar sight.

Residents have long questioned why this remains a two-way setup, especially with a public playground nearby and frequent emergency vehicle traffic. While the design may have been intended to help response times, many are asking the bigger question: at what cost to public safety?

It’s only January 4th, and this is already the first incident reported here this year. Locals say they witnessed at least 10 collisions last year alone.

With a new station planned to open, many feel this intersection should have been converted to a regular four-way years ago — not after more accidents pile up.

We hope everyone involved is okay, and we’ll continue to share concerns from the community until real solutions are put in place.

📍 Stay alert. Drive safe.

Canadian woman charged with illegally crossing into U.S., kicking border agent’s face

01/04/2026

I'm sharing the following post on behalf of a follower. This message was submitted in hopes of reaching someone who may have seen or knows information related to the matter.

If you have any relevant information, please reach out directly.
ello, I’m posting here because I’m trying to reconnect with someone I haven’t seen in a very long time.

I’m looking for Conrad Pinet. He previously lived in Quebec City, served in the military, is fairly tall (around 5’11” to 6’), broad-shouldered, and had several tattoos on his body (at least at the time, none on his face).

It has been about 30 years since we last had contact, and I would really like to see him again or simply reconnect with him.

If you know him, if you have any news about him, or if you can help me get in touch with him, it would be greatly appreciated.
And if he recognizes himself in this message, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

My name is Pascal Lebel, and I was living in Quebec City at the time. Thank you very much.

Bonjour, je me permets d’écrire ici parce que je cherche à reprendre contact avec quelqu’un que je n’ai pas vu depuis très longtemps.

Je cherche Conrad Pinet. Il a déjà habité à Québec, a déjà été militaire, est assez grand (environ 5’11” à 6’), avec de bonnes épaules, et avait plusieurs tatouages sur le corps (du moins à l’époque, pas au visage).

Ça fait environ 30 ans que nous n’avons pas eu de contact, et j’aimerais vraiment pouvoir le revoir ou simplement reprendre contact avec lui.

Si vous le connaissez, si vous avez de ses nouvelles ou si vous pouvez m’aider à entrer en contact avec lui, ce serait très apprécié.
Et s’il se reconnaît lui-même dans ce message, qu’il n’hésite pas à me contacter.

Mon nom est Pascal Lebel, et j’habitais à Québec à l’époque. Merci beaucoup.
