More than 135 descendants of Moncton, N.B.'s founding Jewish families returned over the August long weekend for a sold-out centennial reunion at Tiferes Israel Synagogue, sharing memories, meals and hopes for the future of one of Canada's oldest Jewish communities. The reunion, dubbed “Kum A Heim“, filled the historic Orthodox synagogue on Steadman St., which served as a central hub for the events—including two plaque dedications, a tree planting, a walk through the community's cemetery, Shabbat services, and greetings received from King Charles and other government officials. “We wanted everybody to feel like they were coming home,” organizer Sandra Rose told The CJN. “They're really here in the synagogue and it is their home, whether they came from, you know, New York or whether they came from down the street.” The weekend also demonstrated a bittersweet reality: many younger attendees have long since moved away, the current synagogue congregation is aging, and the building itself needs crucial repairs. Yet the organizers say they are determined to keep going and begin a second century, albeit with a very different Jewish community than the one that built it back in the 1920s. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner hears from organizer Sandra Rose, who now lives in Fredericton; her cousin Anne Jochelman, who ran the shul's kitchen for the entire weekend; and Audrey Lampert, who spoke about her city's Jewish history during the Friday night welcome dinner in the shul banquet hall.

What separates an average automotive salesperson from someone capable of selling more than 40 cars per month? "The more you familiarize yourself with the customer, the more you're going to be able to use that for yourself to build your business as a car salesman." - Josh MacPhee In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with Josh MacPhee, a top-performing sales consultant at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac in Moncton, Canada, who sold an incredible 326 vehicles in only his second year in the automotive industry and went on to achieve a 40-car month. Josh reveals the mindset, daily habits, customer-service strategies, and modern tools that helped him rapidly build a powerful client base. From relentless follow-up and constant availability to using social media as a relationship-building engine, his approach challenges the traditional way many sales professionals operate. "Be kind, be honest, really help people, and care about what they're trying to accomplish in buying a vehicle from you." - Josh MacPhee You'll also hear how Josh transformed his experience working in a skateboard shop into a thriving automotive career, multiplied his results far beyond industry averages, and created relationships that continue producing business long after the initial sale. Whether you are brand-new to the showroom or an experienced salesperson looking to break through a performance plateau, this episode delivers practical strategies you can immediately adapt to generate more conversations, strengthen customer loyalty, and sell more vehicles. The numbers are impressive, but the process behind them is where the real value lives. Listen now to discover what Josh does differently. Key Takeaways: ✅ Building strong customer relationships and offering exceptional service are central to achieving consistent high sales figures. ✅ Utilizing social media platforms such as Facebook and Facebook Marketplace can significantly increase referral-based sales. ✅ Regular and effective follow-up is critical in maintaining customer interest and converting leads into sales. ✅ Working closely with managers and leveraging their expertise can help refine sales techniques and improve results. ✅ Embracing technology and community engagement can create additional pathways to expand a personal brand and reach in automotive sales. About Josh MacPhee Josh MacPhee is a dynamic and successful automotive sales consultant at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac in Moncton, Canada. With a notable track record of selling 326 units in his second full year and achieving a remarkable 40-car month, Josh has swiftly risen as an influential figure in car sales. Prior to his career in the automotive industry, Josh honed his customer service skills by working at a retail skateboard shop, where he was responsible for cultivating customer relations and building sales initiatives. His commitment to customer service, strategic use of social media for networking, and relentless follow-up tactics are key elements of his sales approach, enabling him to far exceed the national sales averages within his industry. Josh continues to push boundaries and set new records in automotive sales by constantly evolving and adapting his strategies. Embracing the Grind: How Relentless Follow-Up and Customer Service Revolutionize Car Sales Key Takeaways: Emphasize the importance of continuous growth and development, even in challenging markets. Foster a relentless commitment to customer service and follow-up. Leverage technology and team dynamics to excel in sales performance. Relentless Customer Service and Follow-Up in Car Sales In the competitive world of car sales, consistency is key. Josh MacPhee's story illustrates how relentless follow-up and exemplary customer service can create extraordinary success in an environment where most salespeople average less than ten cars monthly. The approach is simple yet profound: make it easy for the customer and be accessible, whether on weekends, late at night, or even during holidays. MacPhee, a sales consultant at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac in Moncton, Canada, credits his success to these values. "I just talk so much and create such a personal level with my conversations that they want to come back," explains MacPhee. His willingness to take calls late a night and work during off-hours underscores a broader principle: in a performance-based industry, accessibility can set you apart from competitors. This dedication to being available whenever the customer needs support leaves a lasting impact, evidenced by customers who choose him because he's consistently available and knowledgeable. "You wasted no time to get back to me and talk to me the whole time you were off on vacation," a customer reportedly said, highlighting trust and reliability as cornerstones of MacPhee's successful strategy. Building a Sales Network through Referrals and Community Engagement Effective car sales extend beyond the dealership floor—into community networking and robust referral systems. For MacPhee, referrals significantly contribute to his sales numbers. "We offer $200 for a referral," he states, a small investment when aiming for a fruitful long-lasting business relationship. Beyond financial incentives, MacPhee emphasizes relationship-building by engaging customers on social media platforms like Facebook, maintaining the connection long after the initial sale. Moreover, MacPhee leverages local insights and community relationships. "If it's legit, think about this: why the hell would you not want to incentivize somebody?" he argues, stressing the value of forging lasting connections within the community. Understanding local relevance, he primes his sales strategy by ensuring his presence is acknowledged beyond the transactional relationship, positioning himself as a reliable advisor in the community. By fostering deep ties, both digital and personal, MacPhee's strategy aligns with broader community-focused practices that drive sustained success. His approach taps into a natural cycle—prioritize existing relationships to expand business, maximizing opportunities for referral-based prospects in a strategy that feeds itself. Harnessing Technology and Team Dynamics In an era where technology plays a transformative role, integrating modern tools into traditional sales processes offers a distinct advantage. However, at McDonald Buick GMC Cadillac, MacPhee sees a fusion of personal effort and minimal tech dependence. "Artificial intelligence? What do you mean?" Queries MacPhee, indicating an opportunity for technological advancement that complements his human-centric approach. Still, the power of a cohesive work environment shouldn't be underestimated. Through collaboration with managers and peers, he builds a reservoir of sales knowledge and refined tactics. Allying with mentors and learning actively, MacPhee draws from a collective base of expertise that deepens individual knowledge, especially for complex negotiations. "It's important because you're getting a second person in to talk," MacPhee shares, emphasizing the value of team-based sales processes. Such environments promote skill sharing and adaptive learning, as colleagues become resources rather than competitors. Thus, success grows not only from independent initiative but from thriving in a supportive team context. Josh MacPhee's story champions the idea that diligence, customer engagement, and a strategic approach to relationships can transcend the industry norm, catapulting sales beyond expected metrics. Insights from his journey reveal that relentless dedication to customers and collaborative learning environments can redefine success. Though not overly reliant on modern technology, salespeople like MacPhee showcase the power of grinding hard, building a network, and making each customer interaction meaningful. Through this lens, car sales emerge not as a routine job, but as a dynamic business driven by personalities who exceed boundaries through sheer tenacity and astute connection-making.

Ryan sits down with the two founders of MCC Premiere Mortgage Centre, Sarah Albert and Sara Wright. They built one of Atlantic Canada's most recognized mortgage broker teams out of Moncton, NB, and are now expanding into Nova Scotia. This episode covers how they met, how they grew a fully salaried team with 12+ year tenure, and why they believe every broker needs to get comfortable in the alt and private space, or they may as well work at a bank. Sarah Albert breaks down why construction loans are simpler than most brokers think, how she compares private vs. CMHC costs side by side for clients, and what the Australian mortgage broker market could teach Canada about collaboration. They also get into the real ROI of social media, why it takes a year before you see results, and why consistency beats tactics every time.Chapters:1:09 Meet Sara Wright, From Bank Teller to Broker 3:27 How the Two Sarahs Met 5:16 Sarah Albert's Origin Story & How She Started Premier 8:05 The 70-Page Business Plan That Started It All 11:43 When They Rebranded to MCC Premiere Mortgage Centre 13:20 Growing the Team and Knowing When to Hire 16:57 Their Team Has Been Together 12+ Years 18:20 Expanding Into Halifax, Back to Basics 21:45 Halifax vs. Moncton: The Competition Is Fierce 23:40 Construction Loans Aren't as Scary as Brokers Think 28:27 Why Private Lending Is Often Simpler Than Bank Deals 30:50 Why New Brokers Need to Learn Alt & Private Early 33:45 There's Always a Deal, Mindset Shift for New Brokers 35:54 Alt Lending Builds Client Loyalty That Never Breaks 36:54 Alt as a Tax Planning Tool for Self-Employed Clients 38:55 Going All-In on Social Media and What They Learned 43:06 Consistency Over Tactics, No Magic Bullet 45:09 What They'd Change About the Mortgage Industry 47:04 The Australian Model: Broker Market Share at 80% 53:19 Bonus: Favourite Halifax Restaurant & Best Vacation DestinationResources:Keystone Capital GroupCPLP Instagram: @cplpodcastKeystone Instagram: @keycapgroupFind Neal On:Instagram: @neal.andreinoLinkedIn: Neal AndreinoFind Ryan on:LinkedIn: Ryan MacNeilE-mail: ryan@keycap.caFind MCC Premiere Mortgage Centre at:www.monctonmortgagebrokers.com

Communication donnée dans le cadre de l'Été des humanités à l'Université de Moncton. La thématique des journées publiques portait sur la question de l'imaginer. La présentation explore l'imagination comme faculté éthique et politique, longtemps méprisée par la tradition rationaliste occidentale qui l'associe au faux et à l'erreur. Ce même iconoclasme s'est paradoxalement arrimé au capitalisme de manière à produire une société saturée d'images qui nous rend en conséquence incapables d'en créer de nouvelles. Contre cette aphantasie collective, il ne s'agit pas de revenir en arrière, mais plutôt de se réapproprier la puissance imaginale afin d'y dégager de nouvelles hypothèses. Imaginer, c'est penser, créer du sens, inventer de nouveaux rapports éthiques au monde et changer nos relations au sein de celui-ci. C'est enfin réapprendre à habiter la terre à hauteur d'horizon — jusqu'où la terre commence.

Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
Nicole O'Byrne speaks with Donald Savoie about his book Louis J. Robichaud. Louis J. Robichaud, the first elected Acadian premier of New Brunswick, transformed an inward-looking province with an ingrained aversion to change into a vibrant modern society now home to strong political, administrative, and educational institutions. Donald Savoie draws a portrait of adroit political leadership and of a man who, recognizing his province's need for modernization, rose unwaveringly to the demands of office and ushered in profound and enduring change for Acadians and for all New Brunswickers. In a timely biography informed by a long friendship between fellow Acadians, Savoie contrasts the challenges of governing New Brunswick in the 1960s with those faced by governments and political leaders today to better understand the magnitude of Robichaud's accomplishments over a ten-year span. Leading a province with a long history of intolerance towards minority groups, notably Acadians, Robichaud's Liberal government confronted the dominant Anglo-Protestant political class and introduced reforms that included the Official Languages Act, broader access to education for francophones, the establishment of the Université de Moncton, and initiatives in regional and natural resource development, health care, and equitable public services across the province's disparately funded urban and rural counties. Seismic changes at the time, these reforms are now woven into the social fabric of New Brunswick. Informative and lively, Louis J. Robichaud argues convincingly that while the premier's achievements can be viewed as specific to his era, his political fortitude and vision are a model for politicians, legislators, and civil servants today. Donald J. Savoie holds the Clément-Cormier Research Chair in Economic Development at the Donald J. Savoie Institute. He is the author of numerous books including Speaking Truth to Canadians about Their Public Service. If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.

Frank and Peter found heaven in the May episode of Geopolitics with the marriage of a live audience for Episode 78 before a Jays game at the Rogers Center and a special guest appearance in the second half of this podcast by former Toronto Blue Jays President Paul Beeston to talk baseball. Frank covers a wide range of topics in the first 30 minutes including his view on the wars in Iran and Ukraine as well as Canadian hot button topics such as the upcoming CUSMA negotiations and the upcoming separation vote in Alberta. He also takes a moment to remember the life of his friend Robert Irving from Moncton who passed away recently. The conversation shifts to baseball where two kids in a candy store named McKenna and Haynes lined up to ask Beeston everything he knows about baseball including his view on the Jays in 2026 as well as the pending labor negotiations between players and owners. Beeston offers his thoughts on the electronic review of everything in baseball, an outcome he would not support and finishes with some thoughts on 50 years with the Toronto Blue Jays organization.

This episode, Colin Everett asked Hunter if they could do the classic SCTV sketch, "Garth & Gord & Fiona & Alice" (1982). Hunter said sure, so this episode is about that (and jobs! Lots of jobs!) But naturally they talk a lot about SCTV itself, its legacy, and where that legacy stands now. They also talk about the film the sketch is based on-- "Goin' Down The Road"-- which surprisingly has not been covered on this show before. Ummmm, what else.... They talk real Maritime Canadian history, specifically the "maritime migration", which occurred in the '60s, which influenced the film, which influenced the sketch. It all ties together. And Colin talks some about being from Moncton.

Nicole O'Byrne speaks with Gabriel Arsenault about his book The Higgs Years. Blaine Higgs was the premier of New Brunswick from 2018 to 2024. Leading his Progressive Conservative Party through six years of headline-making policy, in September 2024 he called an election, trying and failing to become the first premier since Liberal leader Frank McKenna to win three consecutive terms in that province. The Higgs Years analyzes Higgs's premiership, particularly in terms of his party's electoral pledge fulfillment record. Contributors portray Higgs as both a unifier and a divider: he successfully reduced New Brunswick's public debt, implemented ambitious governance reforms, and managed the province's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in a bipartisan manner. Yet he also intensified ethnic and linguistic divisions, embraced an executive style of governance, and emphasized wedge issues, such as abortion restrictions and gender identity in schools. While Higgs largely avoided divisiveness in critical areas such as housing, health care, and the environment, he was nonetheless known to alternate between being a unifying and a polarizing leader. Drawing on original data from the Polimeter, a nonpartisan tool that measures whether politicians keep the promises they make, The Higgs Years raises vital questions about the integrity of the relationship between voters and their government in New Brunswick. Gabriel Arsenault is associate professor of political science at the Université de Moncton and associate researcher at the Donald J. Savoie Institute.

Jeremy is joined by Dr. Ken Castor to continue the conversation on student leadership that began at the YWC Conference in Moncton. Drawing from decades of research and hands-on ministry experience, Ken responds to real questions from volunteer youth workers about discipling students beyond weekly programs. Over the next two episodes you'll hear about how leadership development often happens “along the way” through everyday life, why youth ministry must move beyond event-based models, and how leaders can empower students of all personalities (not just the loud or outgoing ones). From setting healthy boundaries to partnering with parents and rethinking what success looks like in youth ministry, this conversation offers thoughtful, practical wisdom for anyone investing in the next generation of leaders.Ken has written a number of books including the Make a Difference Bible and the Make a Difference Devotional.See Ken at the YWC Conferences or Today's Teens Conference in early 2026.Here are the questions Ken answers in this episode:When the group grows and the pastor can't do this for everyone, how do you empower and encourage volunteer youth leaders to go beyond the event and do this type of discipleship with their key students?How do I set realistic expectations if youth ministry is not my only responsibility?As a young student leader myself, how do I develop leader attributes in other students my age, but still being relatable and being someone they can still feel encouraged to reach regardless of my stand and theirs!How would you handle a student that becomes too attached to you and starts to try and monopolize your time, taking you away from other students? How do we maintain healthy boundaries — plan to protect of course but also healthy emotional boundaries with students when we are trying to get in proximity with our students?Have a question or want to dig deeper?

In this inspiring episode, Eric Thompson welcomes Martin “Marty” Gallant, the Managing Partner and Broker at Creativ Realty in Moncton, New Brunswick. Marty shares the incredible story of how his company achieved a remarkable 72% growth in volume and nearly doubled its agent count from 25 to 42 in just two years, all within a smaller market of under 600 agents. Marty attributes this rapid success to a strong focus on company culture, which prioritizes agent well-being, teamwork over competition, and comprehensive, open-to-all training. He details their innovative "Mission Momentum" program, a gamified internal challenge that significantly boosts agent engagement and productivity. Beyond brokerage-wide initiatives, Marty also reveals his personal strategy for managing a thriving real estate business while overseeing a growing company: niching down his personal sphere to a "VIP list" of 72 key clients for highly focused, impactful service. This is one episode that is absolutely packed with actionable insights for any real estate professional looking to foster growth and increase efficiency. Episode Highlights: Marty's company saw 72% growth and doubled its agent count (25 to 42) in a small market over two years. Success is built on a strong culture of teamwork and comprehensive, open training for all. "Mission Momentum," a gamified internal challenge with weekly behavior-based missions, drove 85% agent engagement. Creativ Realty offers a free, 21-module training program, open to the entire market, reflecting a "Go-Giver" philosophy. Marty manages his personal business by focusing on a VIP list of 72 clients, providing highly dedicated service. This niche strategy, inspired by the "magic wand" question, enhances efficiency, reduces stress, and maintains volume. Key Takeaways: "We want to make it the best place possible for agents to work." "Everyone's one degree of separation away from each other. So those personal relationships go a lot further." "Culture was always number one." "If they do the behaviors - and it's very much a Ninja Nine - it will lead to results." "Letting yourself down is one thing, but letting down your team is a totally different thing." "The way to do it is to get teams of people focused on activities that will then lead to the results that you want." "If you could wave your magic wand, what would it look like? And then just start yourself on a path to do that."

On December 17, 2015, around 4:00 am, firefighters responded to a house fire on Sumac Street in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Once there, they found the body of a man in the house and contacted police. These charred remains. So damaged from burns and stab wounds. The victim's mother would run screaming from a courtroom at the first site of the autopsy photos three years later.Our Sponsors:* Check out Chime: https://chime.com/OBSCURA* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out NOCD: https://www.treatmyocd.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
