Norton told the story of Brian Burley who he calls a big-hearted two-fisted Saint Johner who every weeks hosts an event called Beer and Bible. He describes him as an average Saint Johner and on Thursday nights people go to his garage and solve the problems of the world and its as grounded an experience as there ever could be on earth.
Norton sang the praises of comedian James Mullinger and his praise for the Port City saying he is changing the mindsets of New Brunswickers about who they are and what’s possible.
