New Brunswick’s official languages commissioner says the province’s eVisit N-B platform is getting complaints from francophones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacLean says the private company eVisit N-B Inc. provides a platform for virtual medical consultations on behalf of the Department of Health, which means the services are subject to the province’s Official Languages Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between April 1st, 2023, and March 31st, 2024, the commissioner’s office says it received 58 complaints alleging a lack of service in French on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt says United States President Donald Trump\u2019s threats have brought a \u201cbeautiful\u201d Maple Leaf surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She says people are actively looking for ways they can celebrate Canadian producers and products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, Holt says that wave of patriotism comes alongside a bit of an anti-American sentiment and a frustration at the treatment meted out by the U-S to Canada’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump has threatened to impose sweeping 25 per cent tariffs and annex Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
