Moncton, New Brunswick has been seeing a noticeable rise in overdoses recently, which is deeply concerning for the whole community. This raises an important question: should we be reducing services that support individuals struggling with addiction, or should we be expanding harm reduction strategies like safe injection sites to help prevent further tragedies?

The Peter Parkers

I made a post not long ago asking if anybody here remembered The Peter Parkers, a shoegaze/indie/psychedelic rock band that was based in Moncton mostly around the 1990s-2000s. I’m a young adult and not from the Moncton area so unfortunately I only discovered them relatively recently, but I really liked their music.

Anyhow, I also happened to contact Errol, who often played guitar and sometimes drums for the band, to express my interest in one of their albums (This Is Sity Music) and ask if they had released physical copies. Errol was a delight to talk to, and he generously sent me a test-pressing CD of the aforementioned album as well as a few other physical copies of the band’s releases, insisting on sending them for free despite me being a complete stranger who just happened to like their work.

I just wanted to share how awesome it was of Errol to do that. These are my very first physical copies of an artist’s work and I couldn’t be more than happy for my first copies to be from a band in my province. Thanks again, Errol! 😊

Made with cheese curds, parmesan, diced chicken breasts, tomatoes, onions, and garlic, tossed in a maple syrup curry.

17$ plus taxes, or 14$ for the vegetarian version.

I'd rate it a solid 4/5, with the only negatives being a pretty small portion size and needing a bit more sauce.

What jobs are in demand/would you recommend training for?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking for a change but don't want to waste time or money training just to be stuck without work still. I'm 35, fairly fit but do have some shoulder and back issues but I manage. I was laid off in December and trying to plan what to do next.

Most of my life I've worked sales job but have done some basic construction and truck driving (16ft box truck).

I'm pretty open to anything. I've been thinking upgrading to Class 1 Drivers license, Electrician, HVAC, Welding maybe?

Considering I'd be looking for work in the Moncton area I figured I'd make a post and get some opinions. Hopefully something I can get started quickly and with only 1-2yrs training.

So yeah what's in demand and/or what would you recommend training for and why?
