Your Moncton North neighbours are leaving their dog poop bags out

Your neighbours need to pick up their dog's poop

Bon matin de Moncton — la marée monte, and so do we. Let's get into it.

Écoute bien, I saw something this morning that just… it got me going, right? On a local forum, someone is calling out residents in the Moncton North area, specifically around McAndrew Street, for leaving their dog poop bags on the street. Not just the poop, mind you, but the *bagged* poop. Just… sitting there. For someone else to pick up, hein? It's not just gross, it’s a slap in the face to anyone who actually respects our city.

### What's Up With That?

Honestly, this isn't just a Moncton North problem, but it feels extra bold to bag it and *then* abandon it. It's like, you did half the job, you made the effort, and then you just… gave up? Moncton is growing, oui, and with more people moving into areas like Moncton North and up towards Evergreen, we need to make sure we're all still looking out for each other and for our community. This isn't some abstract federal debate, it's about walking down the street near Centennial Park and not having to dodge landmines.

* **Respect the City:** This is our home, folks. We keep it clean.

* **Be a Good Neighbour:** No one wants to see that, and no one should have to clean it up for you.

* **It's the Law:** There are bylaws about this, right? Fines can be issued.

This isn't the Moncton I know, the one where we all pull together, right? We're better than this. Take your little blue bag all the way home. It’s not that far.
