N.B. tables bill to create energy advocate to represent residents, small businesses
The legislation comes after the government mandated an independent review into the rising rates, aging infrastructure and roughly $6-billion debt of the public utility, NB Power.

A complex new formula introduced for calculating property taxes in New Brunswick will loosen the connections between residential and non-residential tax rates in municipalities and automatically lower rates when local property assessments rise.

I’ve seen a lot of posts lately about freelancers charging what they’re worth, people sharing rate advice and talking about pay scales, which is all great.
But you know what I think would be even better?
If you’re hiring a freelancer and think they’re undercharging, tell them. And then pay them a rate that actually reflects the value of the work.
Yes, freelancers need the confidence to stand by their rates and charge properly for their time.
But I also think, as an industry, we should be a bit more open about what “worth” actually looks like.
Stop undercutting people, and if your first thought is “wow, they’re cheap”, maybe tell them so they can adjust their rates accordingly.
It costs nothing to be a decent person, and hopefully over time that helps build a healthier standard for freelance rates across the industry. | 100 comments on LinkedIn
