Even the Greens Are Calling Out Susan Holt’s Hypocrisy 🇨🇦
Canadian Citizens JournalWhen even the Green Party’s David Coon is warning about foreign energy giants draining New Brunswick’s wealth, you know something’s wrong. While Susan Holt preaches green leadership and fairness, her government is quietly handing our resources to foreign corporations — while hospitals collapse, families can’t find doctors, and New Brunswickers are left behind. It’s time to put our province first. 🇨🇦80 views 1 comment -
Where Saint John Really Ranks in Canada’s Violent Crime Charts
Street Watch SJNB🚨 Where Saint John REALLY Sits in Canada’s Violent Crime Rankings Why is Saint John, New Brunswick never included in national crime charts? Every year we see those heat-map graphics ranking Canada’s cities for violent crime… Ottawa. Toronto. Regina. Saskatoon. Even Moncton makes the list. But Saint John — the oldest city in Canada — is somehow missing. And here’s the truth: Saint John is a CMA (Census Metropolitan Area). It absolutely qualifies to be in those rankings. The population is large enough. The statistics exist. And the violent-crime numbers are well above average. So why are we left off? ⸻ ❗ Why Saint John Isn’t Included Several think-tank reports only show the “Top 20 CMAs” or the “most populated CMAs.” Because Saint John is smaller, it gets quietly removed — even when our violent-crime rate is higher than many cities that are on the list. It’s not because our crime is low. It’s because they selectively pick which cities they include. ⸻ 🔥 Where Saint John Would Rank if They Told the Truth Using the most recent data from police filings and StatsCan: Saint John violent-crime rate (estimated): ~1,290 per 100,000 people Now compare that to the CMAs on the national chart: City Violent Crime Rate Rank Regina ~1,330 Higher SAINT JOHN ~1,290 Would rank around #13 in Canada Halifax ~1,250 Lower Victoria ~1,200 Lower Toronto ~900 Much lower 📌 If Saint John were included, we’d sit near the TOP third of the entire country — around Rank 12–14. ⸻ 🚨 What’s happening here RIGHT NOW? In just the last few weeks: • A 41-year-old man was murdered in the North End (Taylor Ave). Two men have already been charged with first-degree murder.  • A 42-year-old man was shot and killed on St. James Street. No arrests yet.  For a city our size, two homicides in under a month dramatically elevate the violent-crime rate — yet Saint John still gets left off the charts that show Canadians what’s really happening. ⸻ ⚠️ Why This Matters When governments, think-tanks, and policymakers leave a city out of the data: • Funding decisions get skewed • Crime trends get hidden • Communities get ignored • Resources don’t get allocated where they’re needed Saint John deserves to be represented accurately — especially as crime is rising and families are being impacted. ⸻ 📊 Final Word If they included Saint John in the national rankings, the city would not be in the green zone. It wouldn’t be in the middle. We would be near the top 15 most violent CMAs in Canada. Leaving us off the list doesn’t make us safer. It just hides the problem.15 views -
