No, New Brunswick does not magically produce shale gas or natural gas that is free of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution: A thread to clarify claims in #nb’s #thronespeech this week 1/5
Background: Tuesday’s throne speech said: “...New Brunswick's natural gas deposits are unique in that they are cleaner when compared with other North American resources because they do not contain carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulphide… 2/5
"...As governments seek to transition off coal, our natural gas supply could provide an excellent clean and reliable alternative. Your government is eager to work with Indigenous and other stakeholders to make this a reality." 3/5
Let me tell you a story about “orphan patients”. I’ve been tracking the #NB wait list for a family doctor or NP since 2016 via published news reports. In recent months, things have fallen off a cliff. Here’s the deal 🧵:
The Patient Connect list launched in 2013. The list grew steadily for a few years. I think the growth had less to do with ⬆️orphaned patients, and more to do with creating a list. A stable and growing list probably was a good thing, as people signed up.
According to the province, the list has a lot of churn. People get added to the list and leave it fairly quickly; most people are orphaned for a couple of years, not five or ten. Net numbers are important to track; are we improving or getting worse?
OK! Let’s update things. I just went for a walk around. The red arrows are police advancements. The have taken the intersection of Rideau and Sussex, but little else. The black scribbles are fronts put up by protesters. Thread… 
Quebec riot police are the front line. The trucks behind them have been taken by police.
But you can also see there’s a big line of protesters, with trucks, and some more barriers they have in place.
For those watching at home, I’ve made a map. The red arrows are current police advancements. The black line is where some protesters have now fallen back to to build a barricade. That black rectangle is where the two #NB’ers from Grand Manan were parked, but have now gone home.
This is the wall that’s being built.
Meanwhile, the epicentre stage is still going.
I have been on the Hill for the last hour and a half walking around, so here's a thread on what's going on, so far...
First, I don’t live in the core, so it took a long time to get to ground zero. Road blocks everywhere. One police check even turning back a guy with Parliamentary Press Gallery credentials. So you just go to the next perimeter point and hope for a friendlier cop.
Several large paddy wagons are positioned on secondary streets. Police on every corner.
I'm on Parliament Hill and I have some breaking news...

Peter Doull, a retired trucker from Grand Manan who spent 37 years on the highway and the last 21 days parked in front of Parliament Hill, and his son, James Doull, a diesel mechanic and fisherman, say they're leaving today.
They say it's due to a “family emergency."
They say it's due to a “family emergency."
“It’s critical, I’ve got to go,” Doull said, declining to elaborate. “It is what it is.
“I think we accomplished what we wanted to. But I think there still will be people who will try to stay here weeks on end.”
“I think we accomplished what we wanted to. But I think there still will be people who will try to stay here weeks on end.”

Oh boy, immediately greeted by this guy on Bank Street. “They call my Mr. Freedom,” he says. He says he’s from Niagara.
Definitely a larger police presence today. But they’re largely just doing that, being a presence, walking here and there, stopping, milling about. This Bank and Wellington Streets.
New Brunswick reporter on the ground here in Ottawa with an update thread. Police are again handing out letters to those part of the convoy.
In front of the Senate building there are more police and a new fence.
One of the trucks from #NB has now moved to horizontally block Elgin and Wellington Streets.
