This site is authored by Richard Reeled­er. After work­ing as a research sci­en­tist for over 27 years (PhD, Uni­ver­si­ty of Wis­con­sin-Madi­son), I am ‘sort-of’ retired, and now reside back home, in the Province of New Brunswick.

The goal of this web­site is to present data on issues fac­ing New Brunswick. Why? Pri­mar­i­ly because we can­not have ratio­nal dis­cus­sions on what to do or how to do it with­out hav­ing a han­dle on the facts. Social media tend to focus on opin­ion, often with­out regard to the facts. We’d all be bet­ter off if we tem­pered our opin­ions with the avail­able data. Ignor­ing data is akin to ignor­ing real­i­ty — not a sus­tain­able approach in the long run. Of course, we all have opin­ions (myself includ­ed) and here I try to but­tress my opin­ions with a fair review of the data.
