Former Mt. A hockey star and honourary New Brunswicker @KenzieTSN is impressing in the booth tonight calling the Leafs/Sens game - her first.

Somehow new NCAA rules did not have the same effect on four teams playing six games at Western Slam

NB tourism officials spent thousands to attend the Final Four in Phoenix in April to recruit top US college bball teams for Atlantic Slam in Moncton. The event has now been downgraded from a four team, three day, six game event to a one day, one game, two team contest.

NB tourism officials accepted tickets to a major US sporting event last spring from a company the department has given a $50,000 grant. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

@paulontherun It is a good question. I don’t know the answer but will put it on my post-election list of issues to look at.

@cbcjones HAs there ever been a resolution to this dispute. Not that I worked that hard at it, but I don't see where it has? cbc.ca/news/canada/ne….

Property taxes on homes in New Brunswick are up. But the increases are only beginning. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

@robhoadley Pretty much anything written by the guy with big hair and glasses from this classic would work.

In case you missed it. What a moment. cbc.ca/player/play/vi…

The Paris Crew - 21st century edition

New Brunswick parties are promising a lot already in advance of October’s general election but history shows major commitments often dissolve after votes are counted. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

@gofuckyour80529 Gasoline trucked into New Brunswick from NS suppliers used to be ethanol-free but again with new carbon content rules , that may also have changed.

@gofuckyour80529 Not sure. All gasoline originating at the SJ refinery used to have ethanol blended in under old federal rules but those were replaced by the new clean fuel standards. I presume it is still done but am not certain.

Prices should keep falling ⬇️ on everything Friday. Not a lot - maybe 2 cents - but in the right direction at least.

No surprise here. Who can forget 15 year old Piper Logan steamrolling Team New Brunswick in an 80-5 drubbing by Alberta back in 2016.

NB Power customers who are looking to partially supply themselves with cheap electricity - like Saint John Energy - has the provincial utility concerned. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

That's about right. Petroleum prices in NB should fall on everything on Friday (July 19).
