….but, first, let’s deal with today’s paper, then go to what I was saying yesterday._______________________________________________________________________________ What’s glaringly missing is the story of the massive oil spill from a pipeline in…
It’s been a pleasant surprise to see the Moncton Free Press (Presse Libre de Moncton) website evolve into an excellent newspaper with a quality and breadth of coverage far, far…
I’m surprised nobody has challenged me on my defence of Kim of North Korea in the present crisis. After all, Kim is not a nice man, and that whole, North…
Sometimes, I’m a bit slow… Yesterday, the Tand T ran an editorial saying that the railway line through New Brunswick needs work, that it’s in bad shape. Okay… I read…
Oh, for the days of Winston Churchill, a politician who knew what words meant, and who used them with their correct meanings. For today’s politicians, words are just fuzzy things…
…..I’m quite sure that Brunswick News won’t have the story even though it’s now well over a week old. Remember that racist flyer from MP Williamson of St. John about…
If you look at the comments below yesterday’s post, you will find that a reader warned me that Colchester County in Nova Scotia plans to dump over a million litres…
I can’t believe I did anything so stupid as to erase a whole blog just as I was finishing it. And this is the third time it’s happened. April 9:…

Early yesterday, the story of the year broke. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists has cracked the files of offshore banks which act as tax havens for the very rich…

….but it wasn’t there. The confiscation of bank accounts at the Bank of Cyprus is developing as a much bigger story than it might seem. So, of course, I checked…
…The Trivial and Tiresome and Times and Transcript. Sorry to be late with this one. I have written it twice, with it disappearing from the screen each time so I…
There is not a damn thing in today’s Times and Transcript that is worth reading. Well, in fairness, NewsToday has a worthwhile story on harrassment and discrimination among prison workers…
well, I have to assume the TandT staff did go to church for Easter Sunday – and stayed there all day. There is certainly no evidence they worked on today’s…
I am invited to a breakfast of chocolate eggs and roast bunny. I can only wish a happy Easter to all of you. graeme
