@Matt_Pinner That she’s a billionaire and you’re not?

@ChrisEnsingCBC mom and I had only one thought…

[Alyson Samson @alysonsamsonNB]

@Andrea_EE2 Don’t do this to me. They’re all I’ll think about and crave now.

Can I finally get a tin of Pineapple Crush at an NB corner store?

@Cybe_art I ordered an Apex Neo chair in Jan. There’s still no sign of the chair. You don’t offer any voluntary communication on the chair’s whereabouts. If I didn’t email you I’d be left in the dark out nearly $500 blindly waiting. What is up with your lack of customer service?

. @HorizonHealthNB what’s the point of booking an appointment online, waiting 3 weeks for said appointment then showing up to be handed a number like every other walk in?…

In an act that will devastate New Brunswick and American workers, businesses and the economy, Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on Canadian goods beginning at midnight on February 4th.

It is time for Canada to stand strong and united against the threat of tariffs.

I’ve just met with my fellow premiers and the prime minister, and Team Canada is prepared to hit back with a forceful response.

Our team will use every tool in our toolbox to defend and support New Brunswickers and put an end to these tariffs.

It's now more important than ever to build up our economy, buy local, and get to work seizing the opportunities we have across New Brunswick and our country.

How complex was today's federal cabinet shuffle? We capture all of the moves. A detailed memo will follow this afternoon.

@saltyskin_ A friend of mine has identical triplet boys, she painted one toe on each of them a different nail polish colour as a cheat code should they really not be able to tell until they were old enough to have their own little personalities 😅

@JohnS_1984 Oh I didn’t say they were new, just that they never die in like, July.

Is there a manufacturers policy that dictates household appliances must give out within 6 weeks of Christmas? Because this is the third time in 6 years I’ve lost one at the end of November 🙃

@alexdouce @RiouxDPascale Congrats Alex and family! 🥰🥰🥰(You can always drop her at PO if you need a sitter while in question period 😋😋)

[Alyson Samson @alysonsamsonNB]

@MichelleGhsoub @lee_pitts bahaha thank you for being the only result on google to back up my point! (I was still a CBCer in 2019 also!)

[Alyson Samson @alysonsamsonNB]

I just tried to explain to colleagues that RANT is an acronym and this is my only source on the internet to back meup. Is this CBC specific? Was this just a @lee_pitts take? (I remember the day you told me this and I was happily baffled.) I have been using this for years...

[Michelle Ghoussoub @MichelleGhsoub]

Still shook that rant stands for reporter and no tape and doesn’t mean you just go on a rant on air

[Alyson Samson @alysonsamsonNB]

@silasjvbrown Congrats Silas! Looking forward to seeing what fun projects you get up to!

[Alyson Samson @alysonsamsonNB]

Oh you send love notes to your spouse? I send warnings.

[Alyson Samson @alysonsamsonNB]

First words out of my mouth this morning: “oh no.”

[Alyson Samson @alysonsamsonNB]

A fun couple of weeks working in #Banff! Headed home tomorrow, definitely going to miss that view!
