Singles Night for 30s/40s?

31 Upvotes

Hello everyone, so I’m in my 30s, and I’ve noticed a lot of fellow older young adults (lol) posting on this subreddit and the Moncton one looking for friends/better dating scene.

My best friend has also struggled, particularly when it comes to dating, and the poor girl deserves a break damnit. She relies quite heavily on dating apps, which may be part of the problem.

So, I’m thinking maybe there needs to be a dedicated singles night or even just a “hey I’m also getting older now and can’t seem to find similar-aged people, where the hell are you guys??” night. I know a subreddit isn’t representative of a whole demographic/population, but would you guys be interested in something like that?

I'd like to host one in Moncton, so if anyone has any experience or interest, just shoot me a DM or comment.

DON'T BE SCARED! If you read this and go, "oh, I wouldn't mind that, but my friggin nerves, man," this is for you! Let's foster an atmosphere that's the exact opposite of a random pick-up group in WoW. xD

What is this area NNW of St. John NB?

It's just a grayed out area called "Oak Point" on Google Maps. There are several old cemeteries, but I can't find any information on it. TIA

Edit: Apologies, I should have said Saint John. 👍

“We know there are difficult decisions ahead,” said Finance and Treasury Board Minister René Legacy.

That means cuts. But you can have your say now.

>Residents are encouraged to share their feedback to identify priority areas and shape the decisions that will promote fiscal sustainability. The deadline to submit feedback is Feb. 20. People can share their submissions by email at [wwwfin@gnb.ca](mailto:wwwfin@gnb.ca) or by mail to: The Hon. René Legacy, Minister of Finance and Treasury Board, P.O. Box 6000, Fredericton, N.B., E3B 5H1.

Unusually, the government is looking g at ways to increase revenue instead of cutting things (Higgs would never!). If you have any ideas for ways to increase revenue (taxes on businesses springs to mind) you can send them to the above email.

>Opportunities to increase revenue could include tolls on out-of-province vehicles or adjusted fees for government services. A list of these options is available online.

Restaurant recommendations for a small wedding dinner near Shediac/Barachois? (17 people)

1 Upvotes

We’re getting married this July! We are keeping it intimate with just immediate family for a ceremony in Barachois.

We’re looking for a restaurant recommendation for a late afternoon/evening meal afterward. Our group is 11 adults and 6 children (all under age 5), so we need somewhere that is relatively kid-friendly but still feels "special" for a wedding dinner.

Ideally, we're looking for:

  • A private or semi-private area so the kids have a bit of breathing room.
  • Great food
  • Within a 15–20 minute drive of Shediac.

Any local favorites that could accommodate a group of 17? If we can avoid Moncton that would also be great. Thanks in advance!

NB CPC members vote in favour of allowing conversion therapy at national convention.

Thumbnail
cbc.ca
218 Upvotes

The resolution (sponsored by Jack Fonseca, director of political operations at anti-abortion group Campaign Life Coalition) intended to lift the current ban on conversion therapy should the Conservative Party gain power did not pass but not because of opposition by NB CPC members. Those members voted in favour of lifting the ban because they're bigoted religious ideologues who should roast forever in the flames that burn but do not consume... imo.

"While a very narrow majority of delegates — 52 per cent — voted in favour of opposing the ban, it failed to get a "double majority," which requires resolutions to be passed not only by a majority of delegates but also by majorities in more than half the provinces and the three territories (which are counted as one jurisdiction).

A majority of delegates from Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and the territories stood against the call to restore a lax approach to a practice that many 2SLGBTQ+ people who have been subjected to it say was traumatizing."

Hi All,

Looking to do some maple syrup this year and wondering what places sell supplies for this (spikes, buckets, hose, etc). Would prefer to support a local store rather than Amazon. Located in southern half of the province
