Check the quotes.

The argument you're passing to urlopen is:

'http://geonb.snb.ca/arcgis/rest/services/GeoNB_SNB_Parcels/MapServer/0/query?outSR=4617&f=JSON&where=PID='75385120''

which is actually:

'http://geonb.snb.ca/arcgis/rest/services/GeoNB_SNB_Parcels/MapServer/0/query?outSR=4617&f=JSON&where=PID=' 
75385120 ''

A string, then an int, then another string.

I think you mean:

'http://geonb.snb.ca/arcgis/rest/services/GeoNB_SNB_Parcels/MapServer/0/query?outSR=4617&f=JSON&where=PID="75385120"'
