By Julia Wright January 30, 2026 Estimates of 100,000 people in the streets of Minnesota on Jan. 23 may be a low count, and that day already part of the people’s history, will not melt in our memories unlike Donald Trump’s phantasmagoric “piece of ice.” The murders by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota of Renee Nicole Good, Geraldo Lunas Campos (in detention) and Alex Jeffrey Pretti are sending tremors through all the country’s cities and the world.

Your L&D culture might not be as inclusive as you think - this is how to fix it
Several years ago, at a workshop for employers taking part in Learning at Work Week, we discussed the barriers to learning that people face. Gail (name changed) listened as we went through the different types until we landed on social barriers. It was then she admitted that she’d missed out on development opportunities at work because, in her eyes, “learning was always for someone else over there, not for me”.

She was found dead after a tent encampment fire. Her smile is what her family will remember
Rae Tyler's smile will be what her family remembers most. In every photograph — from those as a toddler, to more recent family snapshots of the 33-year-old woman — Tyler wears the same show-stopping grin. It never disappeared, said her father, Winston Tyler, no matter how difficult things got over the last three years of living in a tent in Saint John. "Even when it was the worst times, she was always smiling," her father said.
As fire claims 2 more lives at Saint John encampment, first tenants arrive at shipping container shelters
Matthew Tobias's new shelter is basic and cramped: an 8 X 10 plywood box inside a beige shipping container. "Just four walls, a roof, a door, a window," Tobias said. But with heat, a fire extinguisher and a fire alarm, it's better than the makeshift camp he lived in before, on the side of Highway 1 between Saint John and Rothesay. "My camp was the same size, same layout. But this is a step in a different direction than what I was." Tobias is one of the lucky ones.

What it's like on board a sailboat racing from Saint John to Digby
On a clear day, Digby seems little more than a stone's throw away from Saint John. Often, you can look across from Saint John Harbour and see the Nova Scotia town with the naked eye — a faint blue-grey outline on the horizon.

Just after dawn on the first day of autumn, a fleet of eight sailboats tack back and forth across the harbour in the rose-gold sunrise.

Reversing Falls rock walk tells the stories beneath Saint John's feet
Three hundred million years before Reversing Falls was home to a sea monster legend, a skywalk, two shiny new steel monopoles, and the Irving Pulp and Paper mill — it was the place where two ancient continents collided. The area around Reversing Falls is the "heart of the Stonehammer Geopark," according to Patrick Sorensen, an interpreter with the UNESCO-designated site. Although Stonehammer was designated in 2010, "not many people know what a geopark is in this region," he said.
The long-lost story of Mort Garson, Saint John's electronic music pioneer and moon-landing composer

A tragic battle is Fort La Tour's claim to fame. Now, it's to host another famous tragedy
The history of Fort La Tour is steeped in tragedy and bloodshed. In 1631, Charles de Saint-Étienne de La Tour built a fortified trading post at Portland Point to exchange furs with the Wolastoqiyik. In 1645, his wife — Madame de La Tour, the "Lioness of Acadia" — famously waged a multi-day campaign to defend it against Charles de Menou d'Aulnay — a bloody battle that ended in surrender and the mass hanging of her men.

Will smashing plates and TVs at Saint John's first 'rage room' help your mental health?
Destroying a computer with a blunt object is a lot of work. The aluminum bat connects with the steel case with a soft, metallic crunch. The first swing barely dents the tower. It takes a good half-dozen more hard strikes to pop the side panel off, sending the fan, power cables, and plastic bits spinning out onto the floor. For many people, it might feel odd — even slightly wrong — to unleash their inner Hulk on defenceless office gear.

Is Meta's Threads app a Twitter-killer, or just more junk? Here's why New Brunswickers should care
To borrow a classic New Brunswick phrase used when giving directions, Twitter is where the fun, intellectually-stimulating online conversation "used to be." More recently, it's become playground for trolls and bots, dragged over the hot coals of public opinion for its widely-derided limits on tweets in response to data scraping, and other seemingly random changes under the leadership of CEO Elon Musk. But some are wondering if the days of real online conversations might be back.
