new brunswick: Chinese proverb & Home Energy Bills
- 03/05/07 04:35 AM
There is a supposedly Chinese proverb that goes: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Well, I'd like to modify that adage to preface my take on the New Brunswick government's recent decision to not follow through with a rebate of the 8% tax which every New Brunswick household pays on their home heating bill. "Give a New Brunswicker a rebate of the 8% tax paid on home heating and you've reduced his/her bill by 8% for one year. Teach a New Brunswicker that if he/she spends … (0 comments)
new brunswick: Xeriscaping in Moncton, New Brunswick
- 02/12/07 09:39 AM
Right up front I'll admit to blatant self promotion with me in the picture. This is my front yard in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. All plants on the curb side of the fence, which is actually part of the street, are drought resistant perennials. And all are hardy in my 4a zone. Once established, they require no watering, fertilizer or pesticides. And surprisingly very little weeding. In fact some of them are very aggressive. Artemesia, sedum, paeonia, aster, dianthus, hemerocallis, thyme and coreopsis are just a few of the species growing in my xeriscaped front yard. What has all this to do with real estate? More and more of today's home buyers and … (2 comments)

new brunswick: About New Brunswick
- 02/05/07 01:37 AM
New Brunswick, the largest of Canada's three Maritime provinces, is nestled under Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula and beside the State of Maine. Its northern border also includes the Restigouche River and the Baie des Chaleurs. The eastern boundary is entirely coastal - the Gulf of St Lawrence and Northumberland Strait - and delightfully dotted with warm, sandy beaches...the warmest salt water north of Virginia. Chignecto Bay and the 24-kilometre (15-mile) wide Isthmus of Chignecto, which connects New Brunswick to Nova Scotia, form part of New Brunswick's southern border. The rest of it is the Bay of Fundy. Its tides - the highest … (0 comments)
